FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 returns from May 19–22, 2026, at the Fira de Barcelona
Gran Via, bringing together six co-located events that reflect the evolving scope of the global
print and visual communications industry. Alongside European Sign Expo, Personalisation
Experience, WrapFest, and the newly introduced Corrugated and Textile segments, the
exhibition will serve as a comprehensive platform for professionals across speciality print,
signage, packaging, personalisation, wrapping, and textile applications.
The event is expected to host more than 600 leading brands and suppliers, including Canon,
Epson, HP, Mimaki, and Agfa, presenting the latest innovations in printing equipment,
consumables, software, and finishing solutions.
European Sign Expo, located in Hall 2, will focus on advancements in signage and visual
communication, featuring technologies such as digital displays, illuminated signage, and outof-
home media solutions. Personalisation Experience, now in its fourth edition, will highlight
the growing importance of customisation and the tools enabling businesses to deliver
tailored products at scale.
A key highlight for 2026 is the co-location of WrapFest, which will occupy a 2,000 sqm space
dedicated to vehicle wrapping, vinyl applications, and surface decoration technologies. The
feature will also host the World Wrap Masters competition, where top installers from across
regions compete in live challenges before advancing to the global finals.
The introduction of Corrugated marks FESPA’s strategic expansion into packaging. With a
dedicated 1,500 sqm exhibition and conference programme, it will address trends such as
automation, AI integration, and regulatory developments in corrugated packaging.
Complementing this, the Textile segment will cater to professionals in fashion, apparel, and
interior décor printing, showcasing innovations in direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-fabric
(DTF), and roll-to-roll technologies.
Three parallel conference programmes, The FESPA Conference, Corrugated Conference,
and WrapTalks, will run throughout the event, offering insights into market trends, production
workflows, and business opportunities.
According to Michael Ryan, the 2026 edition reflects FESPA’s commitment to broadening its
scope beyond traditional print and signage, creating new avenues for growth, collaboration,
and knowledge exchange across interconnected industries.
