Packaging Innovations & Empack 2026

Packaging Innovations, Empack and Contract Pack & Fulfilment will take place on 11 - 12 February 2026 at NEC Birmingham, UK. 

UK's leading FMCG packaging festival

Packaging Innovations & Empack is the UK's premier annual event driving business and innovation across the whole packaging journey from primary packaging, secondary packaging, contract packing and fulfilment, labelling and printing and packing and processing technology. The event is split into three focused shows, each dedicated to one part of the packaging journey: Packaging Innovations, Empack and Contract Pack & Fulfilment. Together, these three events give you a unique vision of the whole packaging journey, from concept to production. 

Packaging Innovations

Packaging Innovations is the UK’s leading packaging event bringing together brands and retailers with hundreds of packaging suppliers to do business and network.

The event is focused on primary and secondary packaging, innovative materials and new formats of packaging, attracting thousands of packaging designers and technologists from brands across markets including food, retail, FMCG, drinks, pharmaceuticals, personal care and many more.

Empack

Empack looks to the future of packaging technology with suppliers showcasing their most advanced capabilities and newest innovations in packing and filling technology.

The event brings together buyers and specifiers in the manufacturing operations of the UK’s leading businesses, across FMCG, food and drink, household products, pharmaceuticals and many more.

Contract Pack & Fulfilment

Contract Pack & Fulfilment, hosted by the BCMPA and representing 200+ members, connects brands with the outsourcing partners they need to enable their businesses to grow.
