The WEPACK World Expo of Packaging Industry 2026, recognized as one of the most influential global events in the packaging sector, will be held from April 15 to 17, 2026, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao’an). As a flagship gathering for the international packaging community, the event will serve as a comprehensive platform showcasing the latest advancements, technologies, and trends shaping the future of the paper packaging industry.
Positioned as the premier exhibition for the entire paper packaging value chain, WEPACK 2026 will span an impressive 120,000 square meters of exhibition space and bring together more than 1,500 high-quality exhibitors from around the world. The expo is expected to attract over 100,000 professional visitors and enterprises, while being supported by more than 30 leading industry and mainstream media outlets. Through its large-scale, integrated format, the event will fully highlight the strategic value and innovation potential of paper packaging across the industry chain, fostering collaboration, business growth, and sustainable development within the global packaging ecosystem.
WEPACK 2026 will once again feature eight concurrent displays, offering a comprehensive view of the worldwide packaging ecosystem. The event will cover core segments comprising paper, corrugated, food packaging, folding cartons, labeling, and digital printing. Notably, the newly declared InnoLabel Expo will make its debut, transporting fresh momentum to cross-industry incorporation between the labeling segment and paper packaging. Advanced label technologies united with paper packaging, mainly in functionality, security, and sustainability, are anticipated to become new development drivers for the industry.
Driven by the worldwide “dual carbon” goals and the increasing ESG momentum, the packaging industry is experiencing a transformative change from traditional manufacturing to green, low-carbon, and intelligent construction. As the world’s leading combined packaging industry platform with robust resource incorporation capabilities, WEPACK proudly presents the “Green Industry (Carbon Neutrality) Service Special Demonstration Zone,” bringing together policymakers, financial institutions, technology innovators, and brand proprietors to build a systematic platform for showcasing and applying sustainable packaging resolutions.
Co-initiated by RX and the Green Industry Development Center of the Shanghai Services Federation, the Special Zone emphasizes “display + matchmaking + services + conversion” to create a worldwide exemplary benchmark for green production and industrial association. It aims to empower Chinese packaging creativities to gain an ESG competitive benefit and achieve a leap-forward progress in sustainable growth.
Together with the exhibition, WEPACK 2026 will host 30+ sessions and forums addressing topics like global pulp and paper market trends, sustainable growth, digitalization and smart production, and the future of labels. Industry leaders comprising brand owners, packaging producers, equipment suppliers, and strategy experts will gather to share insights and best practices, providing forward-looking viewpoints for decision-makers across the value chain.
