London Packaging Week will return to Excel London on 16 and 17 September 2026, with organisers officially opening registration for what is positioned as one of the UK’s leading events focused on packaging innovation, sourcing and design across luxury, beauty, premium drinks and FMCG markets. The exhibition follows a record-setting 2025 edition and is expected to attract more than 5,700 visitors alongside over 220 exhibitors representing businesses from across the global packaging supply chain. As a major meeting point for brands, suppliers, designers and industry specialists, the event aims to provide a platform for commercial discussions, collaboration and product discovery covering areas such as sustainability, structural design, materials development, regulation and consumer engagement.
The event will present five dedicated sectors spanning luxury packaging, beauty and personal care, premium and luxury drinks, FMCG and consumer goods, and packaging design and innovation. Organisers said the structure is intended to reflect the full packaging lifecycle, from concept development and material selection to production, compliance and end-user experience. Alongside the exhibition floor, attendees will have access to a free conference programme featuring panel discussions, presentations and industry-led sessions examining issues including circularity, accessibility, EPR, sustainability legislation, brand storytelling and material innovation. London Packaging Week will also feature participation from returning exhibitors such as Amcor, Fedrigoni, Billerud, Autajon, Kurz, Sun Branding and Ecosurety, while new exhibitors including Sabert, PakTech, Coppice and Sustain Holdings are set to join the 2026 edition.
Josh Brooks, Divisional Director – Packaging Portfolio at Easyfairs, said: “London Packaging Week is where the industry connects as a single, unified ecosystem. It is no longer defined by separate sectors or silos, but by shared challenges across the entire packaging value chain.”
“The momentum from last year’s record-breaking edition has carried into 2026. We are seeing that energy continue to build, with strong engagement already across all sectors from luxury and beauty to drinks and FMCG. It reflects an industry that is not only present but actively invested in what comes next.”
The exhibition continues to strengthen its role as a London-based event with international reach, supported by organisations including WRAP, INCPEN, Walpole, British Beauty Council and BCMPA. Participation is also expected from major British and international brands including Diageo, William Grant & Sons, Jo Malone, Harrods, Selfridges and Penhaligon’s. According to organisers, 92% of visitors are based in the UK, reinforcing the importance of the domestic packaging sector while maintaining strong global industry connections through London Packaging Week.
