Istanbul, Türkiye – Eurasia Packaging Istanbul, ranked with the leading packaging trade gatherings of the Eurasian region, comes back to Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from 13 to 16 October 2026 for its 31st edition.
Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc. organises the show, working with the Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD) alongside other sector bodies, and the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade lends its support. It will convene packaging producers, technology vendors, purchasers, investors and trade specialists drawn from Türkiye and markets overseas. The exhibition again acts as a broad commercial meeting ground spanning packaging products, production technologies, processing solutions and printing and converting.
In 2025 the milestone 30th edition welcomed 77,165 visitors representing 141 countries, among them 14,017 from abroad, while bringing together over 1,200 exhibiting companies based in 40 countries. Building on that base, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul aims in 2026 to widen its worldwide presence and deepen its trade impact.
A Strategic Gathering Point for Packaging
Over three decades, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul has matured into a firmly rooted global meeting place that connects suppliers to buyers throughout Central Asia, the CIS region, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and further afield.
Sitting midway between the big manufacturing and consumer markets, Türkiye’s location strengthens Istanbul’s role as an organic junction of cross-border commerce. With that in view, exhibitors may treat the fair as a place to forge new trading ties, scout export destinations, encounter distributors and buying specialists, and unveil their latest products and technologies before a multinational audience.
The whole packaging value chain comes into view once more in 2026, with offerings stretching from printing and converting systems, food and beverage processing equipment, packaging machinery and production technologies through to packaging products, materials and complementary solutions.
Gathering these adjacent segments under one shared roof means Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 allows visitors to survey a wide range of technologies, compare rival offerings and appraise what their production and investment plans require, all in one commercial venue.
Hosted Buyer Program Set to Widen B2B Prospects Abroad
Drawing overseas purchasers continues to sit at the heart of Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Through its Hosted Buyer Program, the fair will host buying executives and procurement leaders selected from key markets worldwide, focusing above all on companies with active needs in investment, purchasing and sourcing.
Structured around pre-scheduled B2B appointments plus face-to-face networking on site, the programme sets out to deliver keener commercial openings linking exhibitors with vetted overseas buyers.
Pairing suppliers with purchasers who are actively hunting for processing technologies, packaging machinery and related solutions, the programme hopes to spark fresh trading alliances, strengthen export potential and lift the calibre of cross-border dealmaking throughout the event.
New Ideas, Technology and Sustainable Responses

Companies exhibiting at Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 gain a showcase for technologies and solutions that respond to those changing sector priorities. Those attending can explore advances in machinery, automation, production technologies, packaging design, resource-efficient and recyclable materials, and uses that further circular economy goals.
