Exhibitor bookings for the UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show 2026 (UKCITS26) have now reopened via the dedicated Trade Show website, with applications open to all companies operating within the corrugated sector.
UKCITS26 will take place at the Telford International Centre on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th October 2026, with exhibitor set-up on Monday 5th October. Building on the success of the 2024 event, the 2026 Trade Show will run as a full two-day event, open to the entire industry and welcoming international and overseas visitors. Significantly higher footfall is anticipated.
Alongside the exhibition, the Conference programme is now coming together, with invited speakers representing brand owners, retailers, and senior stakeholders from across the corrugated supply chain. The developing agenda is designed to deliver strong commercial and strategic insight, ensuring relevance and value for converters, suppliers, brand owners, and industry partners alike. This cross-sector representation reflects the increasingly integrated nature of fibre-based packaging and its role within wider retail and brand strategies.
To support exhibitors showcasing large-scale equipment, UKCITS26 has secured ground-floor exhibition space, making this Trade Show particularly well suited to heavy machinery, live demonstrations, and technical installations. Several companies have already confirmed they will be bringing equipment to demonstrate at the show, including Absolute, Antonine Printing Inks, Corrboard UK, Cuir, Friedheim International Ltd, GTS Europe, M&K Trading, SPARK Robotics, Sun Automation Group and Valco Melton.
The Trade Show organisers are also pleased to confirm that several Trade Associations supporting fibre-based industries have pledged to exhibit at UKCITS26 and actively encourage their members to attend. This collaborative approach further strengthens the reach, diversity, and industry-wide relevance of the event.
With over 60% of exhibition space already booked, companies planning to exhibit are strongly encouraged to secure their stand as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
The Trade Show organisers look forward to working closely with exhibitors, speakers, and partners to deliver UKCITS26 as a leading showcase of innovation, collaboration, and capability across the corrugated industry.
