FESPA launches Textile to serve global printing community

FESPA is launching a new event

FESPA has unveiled Textile, a brand-new event dedicated to printed textiles, apparel and décor.

The inaugural show will run alongside FESPA Global Print Expo 2026, the Personalisation Experience, European Sign Expo and the new Corrugated event at Fira Barcelona from May 19-22, 2026.

Building on FESPA’s six-decade heritage in screen and digital printing, Textile will bring together an exhibition and conference programme tailored for professionals working across garment printing, sportswear and interior décor.

Visitors can explore the latest innovations in roll-to-roll, DTG and DTF machinery, embroidery and finishing equipment, materials, inks, coatings and workflow software.

A series of free conference sessions will tackle key themes such as productivity, efficiency and sustainability, while networking opportunities will connect printers with brands and designers seeking agile, environmentally responsible supply chains.

Duncan MacOwan, FESPA’s head of marketing and events, said: “With the launch of Textile, we’re creating a focused environment that directly addresses the challenges faced by textile printers, garment brands, sportswear producers and interior designers.”

Further details, including the conference line-up and exhibitor list, will be announced in the coming months.
