Istanbul, Türkiye – Tüyap Fair and Congress Center will again play host to Eurasia Packaging Istanbul, counted among the foremost trade platforms serving packaging across the Eurasian region, with the 31st edition running from 13 to 16 October 2026.
Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc. runs the event in collaboration with Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD) plus other sector bodies, under the support of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade, drawing together packaging producers, technology suppliers, buyers, investors and industry professionals from Türkiye and markets abroad. Spanning packaging products, processing solutions, production technologies, converting and printing, the show will once more operate as a broad commercial platform.
The 2025 edition proved a milestone: 77,165 visitors from 141 countries attended, 14,017 of them international, while exhibitors numbered more than 1,200 companies representing 40 countries. Building on that 30th outing, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul now aims to widen its international reach and commercial impact still further in 2026.
The Packaging Trade’s Strategic Gathering Place
Across the last three decades, the fair has grown into a recognised global marketplace that links suppliers to buyers in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, the CIS region, Central Asia and further afield.
Sitting between major production and consumption centres, Türkiye’s geography reinforces Istanbul’s standing as a logical hub for cross-border commerce. Within that context, exhibiting companies can use the fair to forge fresh commercial ties, investigate export destinations, meet procurement specialists and distributors, and showcase their newest products and technologies before a global audience.
Once again, the 2026 edition will map the packaging value chain in full, assembling packaging machinery, food and beverage processing equipment, printing and converting systems, production technologies and, alongside these, materials, complementary solutions and packaging products.
Placing these mutually supporting segments beneath a single roof means visitors to Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 can survey a broad spread of technologies, weigh up competing solutions and judge their investment and production requirements within one commercial setting.
Hosted Buyer Program Widens International B2B Prospects
Engagement with overseas buyers continues to be a central priority for Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Its Hosted Buyer Program will bring in selected decision-makers and purchasing specialists from priority international markets, with emphasis on firms that have live sourcing, procurement and investment needs.
Pre-arranged B2B meetings and face-to-face networking during the show form the backbone of the programme, which seeks to generate sharper business prospects between exhibitors and vetted international buyers.
Pairing suppliers with buyers who are actively hunting for packaging machinery, processing technologies and allied solutions, the programme sets out to foster fresh commercial partnerships, bolster export prospects and raise the calibre of international dealings across the whole fair.
Innovation, Technology and Environmentally Sound Solutions
With packaging demands shifting constantly, producers are devoting ever greater attention to automation, efficiency, material optimisation, sustainability and more intelligent manufacturing processes.
A stage for exhibitors to unveil technologies and solutions addressing these shifting sector priorities will be provided by Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Advances in machinery, packaging design, automation, production technologies, resource-efficient and recyclable materials, plus applications that underpin circular economy aims, will all be open to discovery by visitors.
Consequently, the fair will serve as more than a sourcing venue: professionals attending can also track emerging technologies and assess solutions capable of lifting competitiveness and production performance.
Processing Technology for Food Completes the Line-Up
Technologies for processing food and beverages will likewise represent a significant strand of the 2026 fair.
The Food-Tech Eurasia Special Section will let manufacturers of food and drink examine packaging, production and processing technologies inside one exhibition ecosystem.
For visitors after joined-up solutions spanning production lines, from preparation and processing through to filling, packaging and the presentation of the finished product, this pairing adds value.
Fresh Openings for Cross-Border Trade
A commercially minded setting in which fresh partnerships can be built, investment prospects weighed and global trading links deepened is what Eurasia Packaging Istanbul delivers to its exhibitors and visitors alike.
Exhibitors gain immediate contact with decision-makers, manufacturers, distributors and buyers across a broad geography. Visitors can benchmark technologies, meet alternative suppliers, appraise new solutions and talk directly with manufacturers, all in one venue.
Now reaching its 31st edition, the show keeps its attention squarely on forging worthwhile business contacts and nurturing the ongoing growth of the food processing and packaging sectors.
Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 unfolds from 13 to 16 October 2026 in Istanbul, Türkiye, with Tüyap Fair and Congress Center as host. Suppliers, buyers and packaging professionals from international markets will gather for the four-day event, which creates a concentrated setting for business development, technology sourcing and new partnerships.
