Graphic arts, publishing and processing companies: mandatory application of the new 2026-2029 state collective agreement

The state collective agreement for graphic arts, paper and cardboard processing, publishing and auxiliary industries for the 2026-2029 period has been registered and published. The agreement is mandatory throughout Spanish territory for companies and salaried personnel in the pre-press, press, post-press and publishing sectors (art. 1.1 and 1.2). It includes mechanisms for the absorption of future legal improvements and the creation of a Joint Parity Commission for the interpretation and resolution of disputes (art. 3.4 and 4.1).

In 3 key points

  1. Mandatory scope of application throughout the territory of the Spanish State (art. 1.1). (art. 1.1)
  2. Future legal improvements will be absorbed if they do not exceed the total level of the agreement (art. 3.4). (art. 3.4)
  3. Creation of a Joint Parity Commission within a maximum period of one month from signing (art. 4.1). (art. 4.1)

How it affects those involved

For companies in the affected sectors (graphic arts, publishing and processing), the agreement establishes a framework for remuneration and working conditions that must be respected nationwide (art. 1.1). Companies must note that future legal improvements in remuneration concepts will only be effective if they exceed the total level agreed upon; otherwise, they will be considered absorbed (art. 3.4). Workers are guaranteed the maintenance of more favourable personal situations regarding working hours, intensive shifts and holidays (art. 3.5).
