About EMPACK Hamburg
EMPACK Hamburg is the northern German leg of Easyfairs' regional packaging trade fair, and its next edition runs on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 June 2027 at Hamburg Messe, with the entrance on the south side of the grounds.
The organiser describes it as two compact days for buyers and suppliers along the whole packaging chain, with visitors from e-commerce and shipping, chemicals, food and drink, pharma and cosmetics, and from purchasing, production, quality and logistics. The same ticket also admits you to the fairs running alongside it, LOGISTICS & AUTOMATION and all about automation.
EMPACK also runs in Dortmund in February; this page covers the Hamburg show. Hamburg Messe sits between St. Pauli, Sternschanze and Dammtor, a short ride from the centre, so hotels in the Messe area, the Schanzenviertel, the city centre and around Dammtor station all work.
This page shows live Hamburg hotel rates for your dates; your fair ticket is registered separately with the organiser.

Where should you eat during EMPACK Hamburg?
The Messe sits right on the edge of the Schanzenviertel, so the best casual and mid-range tables are a 5-10 minute walk out the north exit; for waterfront fine dining around the Binnenalster take the U-Bahn (U1/U3, ~8 min) or a 10-minute taxi. A local fixer keeps client dinners downtown and quick working meals in the Schanze.

How do you get to EMPACK Hamburg?
From Hamburg Airport (HAM)
- The organiser puts Hamburg Airport about 10 km from the fair, in the northern district of Fuhlsbüttel, and the airport has its own link to the HVV network
- For the south entrance that EMPACK uses, Hamburg Messe's travel page says to take the S1 to Jungfernstieg, change to the U2 and get off at Messehallen
- A single HVV ticket for the airport trip costs about 4 euros, the venue says, and a day ticket is available if you will travel around the city too
- Hamburg Messe quotes a taxi from the airport at about 20 minutes, with a fare of roughly 30 to 35 euros
By rail or by car
- Dammtor station, a few steps from the grounds, is on the Deutsche Bahn long distance network and takes ICE trains; the walk to the east entrance is 8 minutes, the venue says
- From Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, Dammtor is one stop away by S-Bahn S2 or S5, about two minutes, and Sternschanze is one further stop for the west and central entrances
- The organiser says a Deutsche Bahn event ticket at a fixed price for travel from any DB station is coming for EMPACK Hamburg
- Parking at the grounds is limited, so the organiser and Hamburg Messe both advise public transport or park and ride; the venue lists up to 3,500 spaces across four car parks
How do you get around during EMPACK Hamburg?
Getting to the halls each day
- EMPACK Hamburg uses the south entrance at Karolinenstraße 20 to 22, and the organiser names the Messehallen U-Bahn station on the U2 as directly at that entrance
- Opening hours are 09:00 to 17:00 on Tuesday 1 June and 09:00 to 16:00 on Wednesday 2 June 2027
- A day ticket on site was listed at 30 euros, 25 euros if bought online, and free with an exhibitor or partner ticket code registered in advance
- The grounds are used by several fairs at once, so follow the signs for the south entrance rather than the east entrance by Dammtor
Where to stay in Hamburg
- St. Pauli and the Messe area put you closest to the halls, which helps on a short two day show or an early stand start
- The Schanzenviertel around Sternschanze station has plenty of restaurants and a direct U-Bahn and S-Bahn link to the grounds
- The city centre around Jungfernstieg and the Hauptbahnhof has the widest choice of hotels and is on the S1 line from the airport
- Dammtor suits rail travellers, with the east entrance of the grounds a short walk from the station
Do you need a visa for EMPACK Hamburg?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current visa rules for your passport before you travel; Germany is in the Schengen area, so the Schengen rules decide whether you need a visa
- The European Commission describes a Schengen visa as an entry permit for a short visit of up to 90 days in any 180-day period
- Travellers who do not need a visa may still be registered at the border: the Commission says the EU Entry/Exit System became fully operational on 10 April 2026
- The Commission says ETIAS, the planned travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, was not in operation when we checked, so confirm the position before you fly
eVisa / visa required
- If your passport needs a Schengen visa, you apply before you travel, through the German mission or visa centre that handles your country
- The Commission says to apply at least 15 days before your journey and no earlier than 6 months beforehand
- The EMPACK Hamburg pages did not mention visa support or invitation letters when we checked, so ask the organiser early if you need a letter
Documents to carry
- A passport that meets the Schengen validity rules, which the Commission says should be valid for at least 3 months after you leave
- Your EMPACK badge, sent by email after you register, on your phone or printed
- Your hotel booking and return travel details, in case border staff ask about your visit
Entry rules depend on your nationality and can change, so check the current requirements with the German embassy or the official EU sources before you book travel.
First time at EMPACK Hamburg?
- Registration is online and takes about two minutes, the organiser says, and the badge arrives by email to show on your phone or print; the ticket page listed tickets as coming soon when we checked
- One ticket covers every fair running in parallel on the grounds, including LOGISTICS & AUTOMATION and all about automation, so plan time for them
- Each person registers individually, as the organiser does not offer group registration
- The organiser's Smart Badge lets you tap an exhibitor's reader to share your contact details, and your data only goes to exhibitors you choose to tap
- The show is two days, so many visitors fly or take the train in on the day; a hotel night helps if you want to see the full list of around 400 exhibitors the organiser quotes for the site
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Wednesday closes an hour earlier than Tuesday, at 16:00, so do your longest conversations on the first day
- Hamburg Messe hosts other events through the year, so rooms near the grounds can be tight on any busy week; compare dates before you commit to flights
- Event Escapes is independent and not affiliated with Easyfairs or Hamburg Messe; you book a named hotel directly with us at the rate shown
