The FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 will be held in Barcelona, Spain, on 19-22 May, providing a meeting point for speciality printers and sign makers to network with a host of industry experts and to discover new opportunities for business growth.
The exhibition will highlight the latest innovations in wide-format, digital, screen and textile printing, signage, personalisation, packaging, and display.
As well, the European Sign Expo will return and showcase an array of products and solutions for the signage and visual communications industries. For the first time, WrapFest will take place as a co-located event, bringing the wrap, vinyl, PPF, window tint, architectural interior and detailing industries closer to the heart of the action. In addition, visitors will also be able to explore the new additions to FESPA which are Corrugated and Textile.
FESPA Global Print Expo head Michael Ryan said, “Over recent years, we’ve seen different trends emerge and businesses enter verticals across the speciality print industry including textile and apparel, as well as corrugated packaging and display.
“In light of this, and with FESPA’s community at the forefront of our mind, we recognised that there is an opportunity to support both the businesses already operating in these segments and those looking to enter them. This led to us launching Corrugated and Textile.
Ryan also said the European Sign Expo will showcase the latest products and solutions across channel lettering, digital signage, dimensional signage, engraving and etching, LED, and sign solutions.
“Visitors to the event can explore industry trends and network with forward-thinking signage professionals. Exhibitors to date include: Harmuth CNC-Frästechnik -, NSELED, Grupo Woon, Domino Sign, Letra Corpóreas, Maus-PS, BannerMate and LT-Systems Europe,” he said.
“Personalisation Experience will enable experts – both visitors and exhibitors – to demonstrate and explore the value of customisation. They will get to see how it creates a unique customer experience and can drive commercial growth. Visitors will also have the opportunity to connect with a host of industry specialists, brands and suppliers, including: Inkcups, ZSK, OnePrintShop software, xTool, Photo USA and Direct Color Systems.
“Instead of simply showcasing products, FESPA 2026 will focus on highlighting insights from, and problem-solving for – print, signage, textile and corrugated applications. Every hall is designed to offer experts in attendance with solutions to help their businesses work smarter and stay ahead of industry trends.
“Visitors will be able to connect with peers and suppliers who understand their challenges and can offer solutions. It shows that FESPA is a trusted place where experts can ask questions, explore innovations and make confident investment decisions.”
What else can we expect from the Barcelona events?
Ryan said the high-energy World Wrap Masters competition will return in 2026.
He said, “Over the first two days of the event, World Wrap Masters will witness vehicle wrappers from across Europe going head-to-head to wrap a variety of special objects and vehicles. On days three and four of the event, regional champions will battle it out to be crowned the World Wrap Masters 2026 champion. Visitors can also attend a series of live wrapping demonstrations with industry experts.
“As well, visitors can explore three free-to-attend Conference Programmes within the Corrugated, WrapFest and Global Print Expo events. Each expert-led session will provide attendees with insights into print, signage, textile, personalisation, wrapping and corrugated. The sessions will also detail the latest trends, opportunities and what the future has in store for businesses in these fields.”
