The packaging industry in the northern half of Germany will meet in the Hamburg metropolitan region from 14 to 15 June 2023 - at EMPACK.

The aim of the trade fair is to provide visitors with a comprehensive and compact overview - from primary and secondary packaging materials to packaging and filling systems to the identification and labelling of products and packaging. Service providers for both packaging and packaging design will also be exhibiting at the trade fair.

The entire spectrum of packaging technology

Around 70 exhibitors await visitors and cover a broad spectrum of packaging technology. Some examples: Bluhm Systems develops and manufactures innovative labelling systems, Ellerhold produces labels and displays at six locations. With Herma another labelling and marking specialist is represented, while Billet cardboard boxes and packaging material.

Wipotec concentrates on systems for weighing technology and inspection. Wolf packaging machines develops systems for the packaging of powdery and pasty products, and Yamaton Paper produces sustainable packaging based on paper honeycomb.

Top topics: Smart packaging and sustainability

This year's trade fair is also of particular interest because the organisers have chosen to focus on two highly topical themes: Smart packaging and sustainability. Project manager Maria Soloveva: "The framework conditions for the packaging of industrial and consumer goods are changing rapidly. Packaging is taking on additional functions, and recyclability and reusability are becoming even more important. Different materials and concepts are in competition with each other. At EMPACK, trade visitors will receive an 'update' on the state of the art, talk to experts and familiarise themselves with the exhibitors' innovations." He (or she) will certainly take away ideas for implementing the concepts of smart packaging and sustainable packaging in their own company.

Presentations on the Solution and ScienceCentre stage

The Solution and Science Centres will be discussing these two main topics as well as other current issues - always from a first-hand and practical perspective. The changing requirements of legislation and consumer behaviour are also discussed.

Hamburg is the perfect trade fair location for this task. This is because a disproportionately high number of goods are packaged and handled in the metropolitan region, and Until now, there has been no regional trade fair as an anchor point for dialogue and "matchmaking" between supply and demand in the packaging industry.

Double pack: EMPACK and Logistics & Automation

A visit to EMPACK offers clear added value because the "Logistics & Automation - regional trade fair for intralogistics and material flow" takes place at the same venue at the same time. It covers the entire intralogistics sector, so that visitors can an overall picture of the internal value chain "transport - packaging - storage - order picking - despatch" receives. Tickets are valid for both trade fairs.

"Easy entry" for a compact trade fair

Messe Hamburg-Schnelsen is easy to reach and admission is free. Online registration is also part of the trade fair's "Easy Entry" concept, as is the "Smart Badge" that every visitor receives upon entry. The contactless transmission of contact data at every trade fair stand offers the advantage that there is no need to collect brochures and other documents or exchange business cardsbut simply tell the exhibitors what you want and they will provide you with the relevant information afterwards.

EMPACK will take place - at the same time as Logistics & Automation - from 14 to 15 June 2023 in Hamburg (Messehalle Schnelsen).
