The Empack Hamburg trade fair will take place on 2 and 3 June 2026 at the Hamburg Messe grounds. Organiser Easyfairs, together with the parallel events Logistics & Automation and all about automation, expects more than 320 exhibitors.

The Empack Hamburg is aimed at trade visitors from industry, logistics, and supply chain management. According to the organisers, the trade fair will present current developments concerning sustainable packaging, labelling systems, and automated packaging processes in a practical way. Together with the parallel trade fairs for intralogistics and industrial automation, an interdisciplinary format is created that particularly addresses the integration of packaging, material flow, and digitalisation.<\/p>\n

PPWR as a central industry theme<\/h2>\n

A key focus of the trade fair is on regulatory requirements stemming from the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The presentation programme on the so-called Insights Stage will, among other things, address the question of what consequences the new specifications will have for packaging manufacturers and users.<\/p>
