We’re very excited about the scope of the event this year and are sure it will excite visitors and exhibitors alike.”

Exhibitors showcase bags/pouches, bottles, boxes, cases, containers (presentation packaging), caps/closures, collars, cosmetics accessories, designers, dispensers/pumps/sprayers/valves, green/sustainable packaging, jars, boxes, containers, labels, pop/display, raw materials, ribbons, samples, textiles, tubes, vials/monodoses, and more. The event also offers a comprehensive Seminar Program and its Innovation Forum, which spotlights the newest creations from exhibitors.
