LONDON PACKAGING WEEK
London Packaging Week Presents New Opportunity for FMCG Professionals
For the first time ever, Easyfairs will host London Packaging Week on 21 and 22 September at London Olympia. This vibrant new home for collaboration, discovery, and innovation for the capital’s packaging community, will have a special focus on everyday and premium food and drink, thanks to its co-located events Food & Consumer Pack and Premium Luxury Drinks (PLD).
Together with a packed show floor of world-class exhibitors, the event will host a free-to-attend seminar programme set across three stages, with a dedicated Food and FMCG Future Makers stage featuring curated content for food and drink professionals. 64 FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk ON THE SHOW FLOOR
London Packaging Week will host more than 180 exhibitors, many using the event as the perfect platform to launch their latest packaging developments.
Exhibiting at Food & Consumer Pack will be TIPA Compostable Packaging, debuting its new fully home compostable transparent laminate, T.LAM 608. The laminate offers the same barrier and transparency properties as similar solutions but with the added benefit of being home compostable, giving end-consumers more control over their own waste management. Denny Bros will launch its DBop innovation. DBop, or Denny Bros onpack, is a new multi-page labelling format for promotional appeal that can also accommodate inserts such as transfers.
Micro-pak will display its series of mould and moisture protection solutions to prevent damage to products sourced or located in countries with challenging climate conditions.
Lil Packaging will demonstrate its Breezebox, a paper voidfill integrated box with a patented pop-up base designed to eradicate need for polystyrene/plastic box filling.
Joining the Premium Luxury Drinks (PLD) show floor will be Proper Goose, highlighting its new sub brand, Bottled Goose, which offers a complete bespoke service for glassware, bottles, plastics, and cans, with a range of printing options including matte, gloss, and gradient effects.
Borough Chrome Plating is using the show as a platform to launch its lightweight plastic components with metal plating to the packaging community for the first time. The design imitates an original metal finish in look, feel, and durability, but with a considerable weight and cost saving.
Labrenta will demonstrate its Mixcylinng Sughera, a revolutionary and patented material consisting of micro pieces of natural cork blended with plastic polymers. The blend means that closures are light yet resistant and won’t crumble.
INSPIRATIONAL SEMINAR CONTENT
London Packaging Week will feature seminar content across three new stage concepts. For FMCG professionals, the Food and FMCG Future Makers stage will provide all you need to know about the future of food and everyday product packaging. Seminars will be delivered by the brands best keeping up with the rapid evolution of food retail, and the associations and organisations behind these changes, including Nestlé, DEFRA, WRAP, Unpackaged, OPRL, and Appetite Creative.
The Luxury Unboxed and the Beauty and Drinks Innovators stages will also host plenty of further content for the food and drink industries.
Finally, The Big Debate series will return by popular demand to discuss the industry’s pressing topics, including ‘Will the sustainability agenda survive inflation in 2022?’; Presented by partners OPRL & The FPA.
Josh Brooks, Marketing and Community Director for Easyfairs’ Packaging Events, concludes: “The packaging industry is an exciting and fast-paced environment, and we felt it was time to reassess how we can best serve our community. Whilst Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London provided a unique and valuable meeting place for packaging designers, technologists, and suppliers in the capital for 10 years, we are excited to take things to the next level with London Packaging Week. Between our Food & Consumer Pack and PLD co-located shows, there will be plenty of innovation on offer for food and drink professionals to discover.”
