Corru Pack Print India Expo 2026 set to transform corrugated packaging landscape

INDIA — The Indian Paper Corrugated & Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association (ICPMA), in collaboration with Futurex Group, has announced the second edition of Corru Pack Print India Expo, to be held from 19 to 22 March 2026 at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.

Following the resounding success of its inaugural edition in Delhi in 2024, the biennial event, India’s only dedicated exhibition for the corrugated packaging machinery sector, is expected to be a defining moment for the country’s fast-growing packaging industry.

The 2026 edition promises to be three times larger than its debut, featuring over 250 exhibitors from India and abroad and drawing more than 15,000 trade visitors.

The event will showcase the full spectrum of technologies across box-making, printing, lamination, carton and rigid box production, testing equipment, inks, adhesives, and kraft paper.

Live machinery demonstrations, technical conferences, and interactive sessions will form the core of this highly anticipated industry showcase.

“The success of our first edition showed the industry’s need for a focused platform,” said Niket D. Shah, President of ICPMA.

“With Corru Pack Print India 2026, we’re tripling the scale, uniting machinery, raw materials, and boilers under one roof. This expo is not just an exhibition but a catalyst for growth in India’s corrugated packaging industry.”

Namit Gupta, Director of Futurex Group, added, “It’s a strategic confluence of innovation and business acumen. By bringing together industry leaders, we aim to foster meaningful collaborations and drive the corrugated packaging machinery sector to new heights.”

India’s packaging industry, valued at US$75 billion in FY20, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18–20%, reaching US$250 billion by FY26.

The corrugated and paper packaging sector represents a significant driver of this growth, fueled by surging demand from e-commerce, FMCG, and food industries, as well as a nationwide shift toward eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Backed by key industry bodies such as the Federation of Corrugated Box Manufacturers (FCBM) and the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), the 2026 expo aims to serve as a hub for networking, deal-making, and technology exchange.

The event will attract CEOs, plant managers, procurement heads, and packaging technologists from across India and overseas.

With its focus on innovation, sustainability, and collaboration, Corru Pack Print India 2026 is poised to become the cornerstone event for corrugated packaging and printing technologies, a must-attend platform for industry stakeholders shaping the future of packaging in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
