Packaging Innovations, the UK’s leading packaging event, returns to Birmingham’s NEC on 24 & 25 February 2016, alongside Empack and Label&Print, covering the whole packaging spectrum. The show is committed to bringing the UK packaging industry together. Contract packers and manufacturers will also have opportunity to promote their services at Contract Pack and new sustainability features at Ecopack.

The show plays a pivotal role within the UK’s packaging market, pioneering the latest innovations and looking into the future of branded and inspirational packaging. Recent reports showed that the packaging industry is currently worth $424 billion globally, of which Europe contributes $127 billion. It is therefore vital for a show like this to continue leading the way, ensuring we are producing the very best in order to stay competitive. I can’t wait to see what the 2016 show has to offer,” said Gerry Sherwood, Event Director for Easyfairs’ UK Packaging Portfolio.

An array of leading European suppliers from territories such as the UK, Germany, Italy, Poland and France have been quick to sign up for the show, including Bericap UK, Collcap Packaging, Curtis Packaging, DieterBakicEnterprises, Easypack, Heinz Glas UK, Hoffmann Neopac, Lumson, Papillon Ribbon And Bow UK, Quadpack, RPC, Schur Star Systems, Spectra Packaging Solutions, Stolzle-Flaconnage, Stora Enso Oyj Consumer Boards, MPack, Bech Packaging, and ApplicEtains. The show also has a global reach, attracting major international exhibitors from USA, China, Canada and Hong Kong, including Bedford Industries, ErectaStep, RagBags, Nulogy, Zhejang B.I IMP and Hip Lei to name just a few.
