UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show 2026

The UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show 2026 (UKCITS26) represents the 8th edition of this long-established and highly respected industry event. Since launching in 2013, the Trade Show has built a strong reputation for bringing together manufacturers, suppliers and decision-makers from across the corrugated and fibre-based packaging sector. Previous events have taken place at premium UK venues and have been organised in association with leading industry organisations including FESPA and the Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI), helping the event become a recognised meeting point for the industry.

UKCITS26 will deliver the most diverse delegate and exhibitor audience in the event’s history, attracting visitors from across the UK, Europe and the United States representing the entire corrugated and fibre-based supply chain. The event also benefits from the marketing support of several leading Associations and Organisations, all actively encouraging their members and networks to attend. From machinery manufacturers and converters to retailers, brand owners, designers and packaging innovators, UKCITS26 will showcase the breadth, capability and future direction of the sector.

Alongside a strong technical and commercial focus, UKCITS26 will also champion future industry talent through a dedicated student engagement programme. A special “Student Trail” will include guided tours, career talks, apprenticeship information and “Meet an Engineer” sessions designed to promote the print and packaging industry as an exciting long-term career path. At its core, however, the Trade Show remains firmly focused on the corrugated converter industry, with more than 10 machines operating live throughout the event alongside product demonstrations, technical expertise and industry networking opportunities.

The Show runs over 2 days: Tuesday 6th October & Wednesday 7th October 2026. Both days are open to ALL visitors Free of Charge.
