London Packaging Week will return to ExCeL London on 16 and 17 September 2026, bringing together some of the most influential names in packaging design, innovation and manufacturing for what promises to be the event’s most ambitious edition to date.
Recognised as a leading platform for the packaging industry, the exhibition will welcome more than 5,700 visitors and over 220 exhibitors from across the global supply chain. The event will showcase the latest developments across luxury, beauty, premium drinks, FMCG and packaging design.
This year’s edition will place a strong emphasis on the future of sustainable packaging, with discussions expected to focus on circular economy initiatives, material innovation, accessibility and the evolving role of Extended Producer Responsibility regulations. Industry leaders will also explore how packaging continues to shape consumer perception and strengthen brand storytelling in increasingly competitive markets.
A number of major international companies are set to return to the exhibition, including Amcor, Fedrigoni and Billerud, alongside several first-time exhibitors such as Sabert and PakTech. Their presence reflects the continued demand for innovation as brands seek packaging solutions that combine sustainability, functionality and premium design. In addition to the exhibition floor, visitors can expect a comprehensive programme of talks, panel discussions and live demonstrations led by experts from across the industry. Supporting organisations for the 2026 event include WRAP and the British Beauty Council, both of which continue to play a significant role in driving sustainable practices throughout the packaging sector.
London Packaging Week has established itself as a key meeting point for designers, manufacturers, brand owners and suppliers looking to stay ahead of emerging trends and regulatory developments. With sustainability and consumer engagement now firmly at the centre of packaging strategy, the 2026 event is expected to provide valuable insight into the ideas and technologies shaping the future of the industry.
As brands continue to balance environmental responsibility with creativity and commercial impact, London Packaging Week 2026 is set to offer a timely and influential showcase of the sector’s most forward-thinking ideas.
