The event brings together brand owners, manufacturers, retailers, and packaging suppliers to explore innovation across the full packaging lifecycle.
The exhibition covers primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging solutions, including flexible and rigid formats, labelling, printing, automation, and smart packaging technologies. In addition, exhibitors showcase sustainable materials, recyclable solutions, and packaging designed to support compliance with evolving UK and EU regulations. This makes the event highly relevant for food, drink, FMCG, and manufacturing businesses.
Importantly, Packaging Innovations Birmingham 2026 places strong emphasis on sustainability, efficiency, and commercial practicality. As a result, the show attracts decision makers involved in packaging development, procurement, technical compliance, and operations.

Alongside the exhibition, the event delivers a comprehensive programme of talks, panels, and innovation features. These sessions cover sustainability, design for recyclability, automation, supply chain resilience, and future packaging trends. Furthermore, the content provides practical insight that businesses can apply directly to their packaging strategies.
