Istanbul, Türkiye – For its 31st edition, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul, among the foremost trade platforms serving the packaging sector throughout Eurasia, comes back to Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from 13 to 16 October 2026.
Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc. organises the fair in partnership with Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD), plus other sector bodies, and it carries the official backing of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade. Packaging producers, technology suppliers, buyers, investors and industry specialists from Türkiye and from overseas markets will all come together on a broad commercial platform spanning packaging products, processing solutions, production technologies, converting and printing.
The 30th edition in 2025 was a milestone: it drew 77,165 visitors from 141 countries, 14,017 of them arriving from abroad, while 40 countries sent more than 1,200 exhibiting companies. On that foundation, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul is now preparing to extend its global reach and commercial impact even further in 2026.
An Industry Crossroads of Strategic Importance
Across three decades, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul has grown into a well established international marketplace, linking suppliers to buyers in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, the CIS region and further afield.
Sitting between key production and consumption markets, Türkiye reinforces Istanbul’s role as a natural venue for cross-border trade. Within that context, exhibiting companies can use the show to build fresh commercial relationships, investigate export destinations, meet distributors and procurement specialists, and put their newest products and technologies in front of a global audience.
The 2026 edition will again map out the packaging value chain in full, from materials, packaging products and complementary solutions through to production technologies, packaging machinery, printing and converting systems, plus equipment for processing food and beverages.
Gathering these complementary segments beneath one roof means that visitors to Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 can review an extensive range of technologies, set solutions side by side and assess their own production and investment requirements within a single business setting.
Hosted Buyer Program Set to Deepen B2B Prospects
Engaging buyers from overseas stays a key priority for Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Its Hosted Buyer Program will welcome carefully chosen purchasing professionals and decision-makers drawn from priority markets worldwide, in particular firms with live investment, procurement and sourcing requirements.
Pre-arranged B2B meetings and direct networking during the show underpin the programme, whose purpose is to generate sharper business opportunities between exhibitors and vetted buyers from overseas.
By connecting suppliers with buyers actively hunting for processing technologies, packaging machinery and allied solutions, the programme aims to foster new commercial partnerships, reinforce export prospects and raise the calibre of international business exchanges throughout the event.
Technology, Innovation and Environmentally Sound Solutions
As packaging requirements keep evolving, producers are concentrating ever more on efficiency, automation, material optimisation, sustainability and smarter production processes.
Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 will give exhibitors a platform on which to introduce technologies and solutions that answer these shifting sector priorities. Visitors can examine progress in packaging design, automation and machinery, in resource-efficient and recyclable materials, in production technologies and in applications that serve circular economy goals.
The trade event therefore amounts to more than a sourcing environment: professionals can equally track emerging technologies and weigh up solutions capable of improving production performance and competitiveness.
Processing Technologies for Food Round Out the Show
Technologies for processing food and beverages will likewise form a significant part of the 2026 event.
Within the Food-Tech Eurasia Special Section, manufacturers of food and drink can examine processing, production and packaging technologies inside a single exhibition ecosystem.
For visitors in search of integrated solutions spanning whole production lines, from preparation and processing to filling, packaging and the presentation of the finished product, this combination delivers added value.
Opening Fresh Routes into Cross-Border Business
What Eurasia Packaging Istanbul gives exhibitors and visitors alike is a business-focused setting in which to form partnerships, weigh investment prospects and reinforce links in international trade.
Exhibitors reach buyers, distributors, manufacturers and decision-makers directly, across a wide geographical spread. Visitors, for their part, can compare technologies, encounter alternative suppliers, appraise fresh solutions and hold face-to-face talks with producers, all under one roof.
Now entering its 31st edition, the exhibition keeps its focus squarely on building worthwhile business connections and sustaining growth across the packaging and food processing sectors.
Tüyap Fair and Congress Center, Istanbul, Türkiye, hosts Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 from 13 to 16 October 2026. Over four days the event brings together suppliers, buyers and packaging industry professionals from markets worldwide, creating a concentrated setting for new partnerships, technology sourcing and business development.
