Gravure Printing
Strong Tradition. Stronger Future.

International Gravure Days 2026 · 7–9 October · Munich, Germany

From 7–9 October 2026, the global gravure community will gather in Munich shortly after the Oktoberfest to celebrate the International Gravure Days and the 70th anniversary of the Global Rotogravure Association — returning to the city of our GRA headquarters and the roots of our association.

Under the banner of tradition, innovation, and global collaboration, this year’s International Gravure Days will bring together industry leaders and partners from around the world to strengthen international exchange and shape the future of gravure. A special highlight will be a visit to the Spaten brewery.

Join us in Munich — where tradition meets a strong, global future.

This is what it sounds like!
