Japan’s Only Dedicated Label Event

Welcome to Label Forum Japan!

Label Forum Japan 2026 will take place from October 14 (Wed) to 16 (Fri), 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight, Ariake, Tokyo.

Evolving from Label Summit Japan 2006, the event was rebranded as Label Forum Japan in 2008 and has since been held biennially. The 2026 edition marks the 8th event overall and the second time it will be hosted at Tokyo Big Sight. Alongside the exhibition, a two-day international conference at the International Conference Center will feature leading experts from Japan and abroad, presenting the latest technologies and market trends.

At the exhibition, domestic and international exhibitors will showcase their cutting-edge technologies and products. The event will bring together a wide range of stakeholders—label printing companies, package and commercial printers, related suppliers, as well as brand owners, retailers, and end-users—creating a dynamic platform for networking and knowledge exchange.

Within the exhibition hall, the Label Pavilion, a dedicated trade fair for labels, will highlight a wide variety of label products. It will showcase their advanced functions, design appeal, marketing effectiveness, and environmental benefits. By raising awareness among brand owners and end-users, the pavilion aims to further expand the demand for labels.
