Stand highlights to watch for
The show places emphasis on productivity and sustainability. Look for demonstrations covering shrink sleeves and pouches, inline carton converting that reduces handling steps, and systems that lower material use and energy consumption.

Reference statistics from recent editions indicate 37,122 visitors, over 670 exhibitors from 140 countries and 43,541 square metres of occupied space. These figures underline the event’s international reach and the breadth of technologies on display.
Commercial prospecting and networking tips
Arrange meetings in advance and block time for live demos that answer specific production questions. Bring product samples and technical datasheets to assess finishes and adhesion properties; suppliers value measurable data such as cycle times, tolerances and consumables usage.
Structure your visit by technology zones and set three clear objectives per meeting: assess a machine solution, validate alternative materials, and engage a software or automation supplier. Capture leads with concise digital forms and technical photos to speed post-show follow up.
Closing note
For operations and procurement teams this edition is the place to verify real-world performance of presses and converting lines against catalog claims. If your agenda includes digital printing adoption, line optimization or flexible packaging solutions, prioritize onsite trials and collect technical benchmarks.
