From 4 to 7 May 2027, Fira Barcelona Gran Via hosts Graphispag, Spain’s major graphic arts and printing industry show. Organised by Fira de Barcelona, it brings together printing, visual communication and graphic solution makers and suppliers with sector professionals. It runs alongside Hispack, the packaging show. It’s a professional event, with entry by registration. If you’re coming for the fair, here’s what you need to know — and why Hotel Arc La Rambla makes a great base for your stay.
What is Graphispag?
Graphispag is Spain’s major graphic arts, printing and visual communication show, organised by Fira de Barcelona. It’s the benchmark meeting point for the whole graphic industry, where you can discover the latest printing technologies and the solutions that make the sector more competitive.
The show covers digital and offset printing, large format, signage, visual communication, finishing, software and workflows, and the whole ecosystem around graphic production. It’s the showcase where print shops, studios and suppliers update their machinery and processes.
A plus: Graphispag runs alongside Hispack, the packaging show, at the same venue and on the same dates. The synergy between printing and packaging is natural, and together they surpass 1,000 exhibitors and around 37,000 visitors.

- Metro: line L9 Sud has several stops at the venue (Fira, Europa|Fira); the L8 connects from Plaça d’Espanya. The most direct option.
- FGC: the trains stop at Europa|Fira, next to the entrances.
- From the airport: L9 Sud connects El Prat directly with the Fira in about 15-20 minutes.
The Gran Via venue is large: check your accreditation for the hall and access point to head straight to your area of interest.
Tips for attendees
- Register in advance: it speeds up entry and secures your place in limited-capacity sessions.
- Plan your agenda: with the combined Graphispag and Hispack offering, prioritising makes all the difference.
- Make the most of the Hispack synergy: a single visit covers printing and packaging.
- Book accommodation early: May is a busy fair month in Barcelona.
- Stay in the centre: ending the day away from the venue, in the heart of the city, is welcome.
Why stay at Hotel Arc La Rambla during Graphispag
For a fair at Gran Via, Hotel Arc La Rambla (La Rambla 19-21, next to Drassanes, L3 metro) combines an unbeatable central location with an easy connection to the venue. From Drassanes, the L3 takes you with no changes to Plaça d’Espanya, the major connection hub for the Fira, where you link up with the lines running directly to Gran Via.
After an intense day of fair and meetings, you return to the historic centre: step off the metro at Drassanes and Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter and the harbour are steps away for dinner, more networking or simply unwinding.
