PPE Chengdu 2026

PPE Chengdu, officially known as the Chengdu Printing and Packaging Industry Expo, is a long-established professional exhibition dedicated to printing, packaging, and related industrial technologies. The 16th edition will take place in Chengdu from April 10–12, 2026 and is positioned as a key procurement and business exchange platform for Western and Central China. The exhibition integrates printing equipment, packaging machinery, materials, and finished packaging products, creating a comprehensive industry environment for manufacturers, suppliers, and professional buyers. With a planned exhibition area of approximately 40,000 square meters, around 600 booths, and more than 30,000 professional visits, PPE Chengdu 2026 is designed as a high-density B2B marketplace where supplier qualification, technology comparison, and commercial negotiation can be carried out efficiently within a short time frame.

The exhibition focuses on the full value chain of printing and packaging, covering equipment, materials, and application solutions. Core areas include carton and color box production, corrugated packaging, digital and commercial printing, label printing, flexible packaging, and packaging design. PPE Chengdu emphasizes applied industrial solutions rather than isolated machinery, showing how printing systems, packaging equipment, and materials are integrated into production workflows serving food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, daily consumer goods, and industrial packaging. This positioning reflects market demand for higher efficiency, automation, and consistent quality across packaging operations, making the exhibition relevant for both production-oriented manufacturers and brand owners sourcing packaging capabilities.

Participants typically include printing factories, packaging manufacturers, carton and label producers, material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and service providers involved in printing and packaging operations. The visitor profile is strongly procurement-driven and includes buyers from food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, consumer goods producers, logistics and packaging service companies, as well as distributors and agents serving regional markets. PPE Chengdu’s location in Chengdu attracts a stable audience from Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, and neighboring provinces, making it a practical sourcing platform for companies targeting Western China. The exhibition format supports direct technical discussion, supplier evaluation, and negotiation of long-term cooperation models.

Exhibited products include printing presses, digital printing equipment, label and flexible packaging machines, carton and corrugated production lines, finishing and post-press systems, packaging machinery, consumables, inks, substrates, and packaging materials. Finished packaging products and packaging design solutions are also presented, allowing buyers to assess both production capability and end-use performance. For professional visitors, the exhibition provides an opportunity to evaluate equipment stability, production efficiency, compatibility with materials, and the supplier’s ability to support ongoing production through service, spare parts, and technical support, which are critical factors in industrial procurement decisions.

PPE Chengdu 2026 is held at Chengdu Century City New International Exhibition Center, a modern exhibition venue suitable for large-scale industrial trade fairs. The venue supports full-size equipment demonstrations and provides infrastructure for high visitor flow and technical communication. Chengdu’s position as an economic and logistics hub of Western China enhances the exhibition’s role as a regional sourcing center, enabling buyers to combine exhibition visits with factory inspections, partner meetings, and supply chain development activities within the region.

The exhibition is organized by an experienced industry organizer with a long-term focus on printing and packaging trade events. The organizer emphasizes targeted buyer invitation, industry promotion, and practical business matching, ensuring that PPE Chengdu functions as a working procurement platform rather than a consumer-oriented show. For exhibitors and visitors, this translates into a professional audience structure, stable exhibition scale, and an environment suited for technical qualification, commercial discussion, and long-term cooperation in the printing and packaging industry.
