Europe's industry meeting place for packaging, processes and technology is more than just a trade fair. In addition to the 1,500 exhibitors, over 40,000 trade visitors can look forward to an attractive supporting programme with numerous specialist lectures and special presentations on trends currently being discussed in the industry, such as digitalisation, sustainability and design.

What contribution can design make to a successful brand image? What are the trends in brand communication? What new materials and technologies are available for packaging? Questions like these are addressed in the newly occupied Hall 8 and a special show dedicated entirely to premium packaging, innovative materials, packaging printing and finishing.
