Regulation on packaging and recyclability requirements have shifted many purchasing and supply decisions in the packaging chain. Empack Stockholm 2026 arrives in that technical and commercial context with practical sessions and an exhibition area focused on materials, machinery and traceability.
Practical information for Empack Stockholm 2026
Dates and opening hours are set from 30 September to 1 October 2026. The host venue is Kista Mässan located at Arne Beurlings Torg 5, 164 40 Kista. Opening hours are Wednesday 30 September from 9:00 to 17:00 and Thursday 1 October from 9:00 to 16:00.
The event takes place in parallel with Logistics & Automation 2026, which makes it easier to access logistics solutions linked to packaging and the flow of goods.
Which companies and solutions to see at the venue
The exhibitor profile includes suppliers of labels and print, packaging materials, packaging machinery, recycling solutions and traceability services. The official list of exhibitors and products allows filtering by type of technology and area of interest.
In practice, it is convenient to prioritize whom to visit according to your chain: materials and design for product teams, machinery and automation for operations, and recycling and traceability suppliers for procurement and sustainability.
Program and confirmed discussions
The main stage will feature a program of talks and panels. Among the announced sessions are panels on PPWR regulation topics and a table called Cut the crap that addresses concrete decisions about materials. The stage program moderator is Esbjörn Olofsson.
Packnorth Awards 2026 is also held to distinguish design and sustainability solutions applied to the Nordic market. The training offering includes practical discussions on design for recycling and optimization of packaging flows.
How to prepare commercial prospecting at Empack Stockholm 2026
-
Plan by technical focus. Use the exhibitor catalog to map a route divided between materials, machines and recycling services. Prioritize meetings with suppliers that cover a complete process rather than point solutions.
-
Use the event’s digital tool. The badge works as a digital card to collect stand information and schedule meetings. Configure your profile and export contacts to the CRM before traveling.
-
Schedule specific meetings. Send clear value propositions and examples of volumes or technical requirements. If you are looking for traceability integrations, request format and API data before the meeting.
-
Document results on site. Take photos of samples, record product codes and note deadlines and basic conditions. A structured follow-up after the fair speeds up closings with manufacturers and distributors.
Final recommendation
Empack Stockholm 2026 concentrates regulatory debates and operational solutions that will influence purchasing decisions in the coming months. If your goal is to close B2B packaging deals, organize the agenda by solutions and take advantage of the coexistence with Logistics & Automation to cover logistics and packaging in a single visit.
