Company information
K-PRINT is Korea's integrated printing industry exhibition and the only show in the country that covers the full print production chain in one place. It is held annually at KINTEX, Korea's largest exhibition center. The 2026 edition runs 19 to 22 August in Halls 7 and 8 of KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, 40 minutes from Seoul and one hour from Incheon International Airport.
Why Korea. Korea's printing, packaging and label industry is compact and highly concentrated. Most printers, converters and print service providers operate within the Seoul metropolitan area, so one show at KINTEX reaches effectively the entire domestic buying base. Korean buyers adopt digital and hybrid production early and replace equipment on short cycles, which makes Korea a fast and efficient entry point for equipment, materials and component suppliers.
Seven shows, one floor. K-PRINT is staged as a single integrated event combining KIPES (Korea International Printing Machinery and Equipment Show), K-Pack, K-Label, K-Digital Print, K-Textile, K-Sign & AD and K-Corrugated. Pre-press, printing equipment, post-press and packaging converting, label, digital and textile printing, paper and substrates, ink and consumables, corrugated, and sign and advertising are all reachable without leaving the hall complex. Exhibitors from 25 countries took part in the most recent edition.
World Print & Communication Congress 2026. K-PRINT 2026 is held alongside WPCC 2026, organized by the World Print & Communication Forum and hosted by the Korean Printers Association from 18 to 21 August at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2. Under the theme "The Future of Printing Culture in the Age of AI," the congress brings printing association representatives and industry leaders from more than 40 countries to Goyang during K-PRINT week, with conference sessions, exhibition visits and technical tours.
