April 15–17, 2026, the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center will host SinoCorrugated South 2026, a key event within the global WEPACK – World Expo of Packaging Industry.
This is not just another trade show.
For the corrugated sector, it has become one of the most important global platforms where technology, investment and strategic decisions converge.
WEPACK today brings together the entire paper-packaging value chain — from paper and corrugators to printing, logistics and packaging solutions. The 2026 edition is expected to attract more than 1,500 exhibitors and over 100,000 professional visitors across more than 120,000 square meters of exhibition space, making it one of the largest events in the global packaging industry.
SinoCorrugated — a Global Barometer of the Industry
For more than 25 years, SinoCorrugated has served as one of the leading international platforms dedicated specifically to corrugated manufacturing technologies.
Over the years, the exhibition has evolved from a regional industry event into a global barometer for the corrugated sector.
This is where trends appear.
This is where contracts are signed.
This is where producers discover where the industry is heading in the next decade.
Within WEPACK, SinoCorrugated is part of a broader ecosystem of packaging exhibitions that cover the entire industry — from paper production and corrugated converting to digital printing, packaging materials and supply chain technologies.
For many industry professionals, it has become one of the largest and most influential corrugated industry exhibitions in the world.
Shenzhen — A City of the 22nd Century
The location itself adds another dimension to the event.
Shenzhen, often described as a city of the 22nd century, represents one of the most remarkable economic transformations of modern times.
Just four decades ago it was a small fishing town.
Today it is one of the most advanced and dynamic megacities in the world.
Located next to Hong Kong, Shenzhen has become a global hub for technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and high-tech manufacturing.
For the packaging industry, Southern China has also become one of the most important manufacturing regions on the planet.
If you want to see how industrial production is evolving in the 21st century, Shenzhen is one of the places where that future is already visible.
