Who Exhibits Here?

drupa, organised by Messe Düsseldorf on a four-year cycle, describes itself as the world's leading platform for printing technology; drupa 2024 had 1,614 exhibitors from 49 countries and visitors from 173 countries.

How to Design Your Booth for drupa 2028

The Messe Düsseldorf Technical Guidelines (valid from 1 January 2026) require dimensioned plans for two-storey and other special constructions no later than six weeks before set-up starts; maximum heights vary by hall (for example 6.00 m in Halls 3–5 and 9–14, 8.00 m in Halls 1, 8A/8B and 15–17) and are 3.2 m in stand areas along hall walls where restaurants are located. Back panels over 2.5 m facing neighbours must be neutral white, grey or beige.

drupa 2028: exhibitor stand planning intelligence

drupa 2028 runs 9–17 May 2028 in Düsseldorf. Under the Messe Düsseldorf Technical Guidelines, dimensioned plans for two-storey and other special constructions are due six weeks before set-up, and two-storey stands need advance approval, so large machinery stands should be designed during 2027.

Official dates

Venue

Organiser

Messe Düsseldorf GmbH

Scale (drupa 2024, organiser)

1,614 exhibitors from 49 countries; 150,000 m² net floor space; visitors from 173 countries

Maximum height (2026 guidelines)

Varies by hall: e.g. 6.00 m in Halls 3–5 and 9–14; 8.00 m in Halls 1, 8A/8B and 15–17; 3.2 m along hall walls where restaurants are located

Plan deadline

Six weeks before the set-up period starts for two-storey and other special constructions (late submissions carry a 35% inspection-fee surcharge)

Stand planning priorities

  • ◆Confirm the hall assignment first, since the maximum height depends on it.
  • ◆For two-storey or other special constructions, submit dimensioned plans at least six weeks before set-up to avoid the 35% surcharge.
  • ◆Apply early for two-storey stands: upper floors are limited to 50% of the stand area or 300 m² and need approval via the Online Order System.
  • ◆Plan floor loading and access for large printing and packaging machinery.
