Time：2026-08-28 From：

Are you looking to understand the latest trends in printing and packaging technologies? Do you want to explore new packaging applications? Or would you like to compare the performance of different materials to improve production returns? For professionals in commercial printing, packaging, converting and manufacturing, it can be difficult to gain a complete understanding through desk research alone.

Therefore, attending a printing and packaging exhibition is one of the effective ways for industry professionals to stay informed about the latest developments in printing and packaging technologies. Through these exhibitions, they can explore a wide range of technologies and applications in person, communicate with exhibitors and industry peers, and gather information for current or future planning. All in Print China 2026 is an opportunity not to be missed for visitors interested in digital printing, packaging printing, post-press processing, corrugated packaging, label printing, flexible packaging, inks, innovative materials and intelligent technologies.

What Can You Explore at This Printing and Packaging Exhibition in China?

All in Print China 2026 is scheduled for 12–16 October 2026 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The organizer forecasts more than 120,000 sqm of exhibition space, over 1,200 exhibitors and more than 120,000 trade visitors for the 2026 edition. Visitors can explore the planned scope through All in Print China 2026 – packaging printing and post-press solutions.

This edition features seven exhibition highlights – seven themed segments: Digital Printing and Pre-press, Comprehensive Printing, Package Printing and Post-press Processing, Corrugated Packaging, Labelling and Flexible Packaging, Inks and Innovative Materials, and Innovative Digital and Intelligent Technologies.

For visitors looking for a printing and packaging exhibition in China, Packaging Printing and Post-press Processing, Corrugated Packaging, Labelling and Flexible Packaging, and Inks and Innovative Materials are expected to be the most closely related areas. Together, these exhibition highlights cover key stages of packaging production, from printing and converting to finishing, materials and intelligent manufacturing.

Packaging Printing and Post-press Processing

Packaging Printing and Post-press Processing will be one of the main areas for visitors working in paper packaging, folding cartons, commercial printing, finishing and converting. The planned segment covers paper-packaging technologies and processes including die-cutting, laminating, paper cutting, box gluing and hot stamping.

For packaging converters, the exhibition provides a concentrated environment to follow how printing, finishing and converting stages are being applied to packaging production. Visitors can explore developments across the processes that shape the final look, structure and functionality of paper-based packaging. This makes the area relevant for companies producing folding cartons, promotional packaging, retail packaging, printed paper products and other packaging formats requiring coordinated printing and finishing work.

Commercial printers expanding their packaging capabilities can also use this segment to understand the broader packaging-production landscape. In addition to print quality and design presentation, packaging projects often involve multiple production stages. Seeing packaging printing and post-press technologies together helps visitors gain a clearer view of the links between print production, finishing, cutting, laminating, folding and box formation.

For factory managers and production teams, the segment provides a practical opportunity to follow current packaging-processing directions and meet exhibitors serving the packaging and post-press supply chain. For packaging-development teams, it offers an environment to explore how different processing methods support the visual and physical features of packaging applications.

Corrugated Packaging

Corrugated packaging is a key area for carton producers, packaging manufacturers, consumer-goods supply chains, logistics-related businesses and material suppliers. The Corrugated Packaging exhibition highlight will focus on the carton industry and on building connections between upstream and downstream businesses.

Visitors can explore carton-production developments, packaging applications and supply-chain resources relevant to corrugated packaging. The area provides a useful setting for following the latest developments in shipping packaging, retail-ready packaging, transport packaging and protective-packaging applications.

For corrugated-box manufacturers, packaging converters and related businesses, the segment brings together production, converting, material and supply-chain perspectives in one dedicated exhibition area.

Labelling and Flexible Packaging

Labelling and flexible packaging are important categories for companies serving food, beverage, personal care, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, industrial products and many other markets.

In the Labelling and Flexible Packaging exhibition area, visitors can learn about advanced label technologies, processing solutions and innovations in flexible packaging. Label printers and flexible-packaging converters can explore relevant production approaches, while packaging professionals can follow developments in packaging formats, substrates, converting processes and finishing applications.

This exhibition highlight also provides a useful place for manufacturers, packaging developers and brand-side teams to connect with companies involved in label and flexible-packaging production.

Inks and Innovative Materials

The Inks and Innovative Materials exhibition highlight will cover paper, printing plates, inks and other consumables, including materials described by the organizer as innovative and environmentally oriented.

For printing and packaging professionals, this area offers an opportunity to follow developments in substrates, inks and other production materials used across commercial-printing and packaging applications. It is particularly relevant for teams involved in packaging development, material sourcing, print production and product quality.

Digital Printing, Pre-press and Intelligent Technologies

All in Print China 2026 will also include exhibition highlights for Digital Printing and Pre-press, Comprehensive Printing, and Innovative Digital and Intelligent Technologies.

The Digital Printing and Pre-press area will present technologies and applications related to digital production and workflow development. The Innovative Digital and Intelligent Technologies area will focus on AI, IoT, 5G and digital-twin-related integration in printing and packaging. These highlights offer factory managers, operations teams, commercial printers and technical professionals a focused way to follow digitalisation, workflow connectivity and intelligent-manufacturing developments.

Industry Exchange and Professional Connections

AIP 2026 materials refer to more than 60 planned concurrent events, with themes including cross-industry integration, artificial intelligence and digitalisation in the printing and packaging industry.

These activities will complement exhibition-floor visits by giving professionals additional opportunities to follow industry discussions, exchange views with peers and connect with exhibitors and technical specialists. The organizer also describes business-matching and hosted-buyer initiatives; visitors should refer to official channels for final programme and participation details.
