| "Transition in Packaging" will be the key theme for Fachpack FACHPACK will be at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 24 to 26 September 2024. High expectations in terms of sustainability combined with new packaging regulations, increasing digitalization and artificial intelligence are just three of the driving themes at FACHPACK 2024. Demographic change also poses challenges for the industry. The key theme of "Transition in Packaging" will be reflected at the stands of the 1,463 exhibitors, in the extensive lecture programme, in the fascinating special shows and themed pavilions, and in the award presentations. Some 35,000 visitors from the consumer and industrial goods industries are expected. Of the 1,463 exhibitors, 47 percent will travel to Nuremberg from outside Germany, the majority from Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Greece, the Czech Republic, France and Turkey. About 56 percent of exhibitors represent the packaging sector, in other words packaging materials and packaging accessories. Forty-four percent are from the packaging technology area, i.e. packaging machines, labelling systems and automation. The package printing and finishing segments and internal logistics are also covered at FACHPACK. Highlights in the lecture programme include: • Safe and sustainable? Evaluation of packaging materials with a focus on recyclates • Quo Vadis Packaging?– what does the new EU packaging regulation mean in terms of practical business examples • Digital packaging data: A must-have to handle complexity and new legal demands • How AI is driving the circular economy • Digitalization – smart packaging for greater transparency and sustainability • Future-Ready Packaging – How to make your packaging fit for the future: Best practice examples of paper-based packaging solutions! • The future of retail: new insights and their impact on the packaging industry Good packaging design: Special show "Outside the Box" Anyone interested in packaging design should be sure to look in on the special design show "Outside the Box" in Hall 4. Organized for FACHPACK by bayern design, this illustrates the drafting and design process from idea through to good packaging design, and offers valuable insights into the impact of design on development processes. Unusual exhibits, e.g. innovative packaging for fitted sheets or a reuse system for domestic products such as detergents or soaps, are used to show design processes that make packaging more suitable for the circular economy, improve awareness of the brands behind products, and create a sense of identification and awareness among customers and users. Fascinating approaches: Alternative packaging solutions FACHPACK will offer inspiration this year with a special item on the programme: the "Alternative packaging solutions" pavilion. This is where examples of alternatives to traditional materials will be presented, along with an insight into what could be possible in the future. In the fully booked pavilion in Hall 3, for example, exhibitors will display compostable film bags, padding material made of grain husks, compostable tea bags, packaging made of sugarcane, and much more besides. The SOLPACK 5.0 forum is also part of this pavilion. write your comments about the article :: © 2024 Exhibition News :: home page |
