Big-name brands set to turn out for London Packaging Week 2025

Events
London Packaging Week continues to prove itself as the brand magnet of the capital, offering unrivalled access to packaging industry conversations, innovation and collaboration.
As London Packaging Week celebrates 15 years of shaping the industry, the UK’s most influential brands are already securing their place at the capital’s premier packaging event. Following a record-breaking 2024, the 2025 edition promises another powerhouse gathering, with over 5,000 visitors, more than 190 packaging suppliers, and over 70 expert speakers expected when the show returns to Excel London on 15 & 16 October.

From FMCG giants to luxury, beauty, and drinks icons, London Packaging Week 2025 will bring together the decision-makers behind the world’s most recognisable brands. Packaging leaders from Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S, Iceland, Innocent, Costa Coffee, Hotel Chocolat, Pilgrims Europe, Mars, Kraft Heinz, and Weetabix will share the floor with Unilever, Reckitt, Britvic, Diageo, Pernod Ricard, William Grant & Sons, and BrewDog. Beauty and personal care brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Beauty Pie, Trinny London, Boots No7 Beauty Company, The Body Shop, Elemis, and Lush will converge alongside luxury names including Harrods, Burberry, Jo Malone, Swarovski, Molton Brown, Oliver Bonas, and John Lewis. Amazon, Universal Music Group, Disney, and the National Gallery will also be in attendance, demonstrating the event’s unmatched draw for top-tier brands.
Rika Kelso, Senior Marketing Executive at Easyfairs UK, said: Suppliers return to London Packaging Week year after year because it offers direct access to the people driving packaging decisions. This is where meaningful conversations happen, partnerships are forged, and the next generation of packaging projects begins.
The show floor will be alive with global packaging directors, procurement leads, sustainability managers, design leaders, NPD specialists, and retail buyers - the professionals who shape briefs, approve projects, and drive innovation.
Kelso said: London Packaging Week is unique because every perspective in the packaging journey is represented, from designers to technologists and sustainability experts. That’s where the most exciting ideas emerge.
The 2025 programme spans four focused zones. Packaging Première returns as the destination for high-end packaging in fashion, fine food, and luxury goods, with a strong focus on elegant, sustainable design. PCD champions perfume, cosmetics, and design innovation, bringing together creative and sustainability leaders. PLD showcases premium and luxury drinks packaging, fostering collaboration that elevates brand identity and consumer engagement. Food & Consumer Pack reflects the rapidly evolving demands of FMCG and retail, presenting cutting-edge innovations in smart, functional, and sustainable packaging.
Educational sessions, clinics, and advisory opportunities run throughout the event, with guidance on regulation, EPR, and material sourcing supported by DEFRA – Pack UK, the WSTA (Wine and Spirit Trade Association), British Beauty Council, and other industry partners. Attendees can explore award-winning packs at the Innovation Awards, see the Best of British Design Gallery curated with Pentawards, and step into the Museum of Brands archive to connect packaging’s past, present, and future.
London Packaging Week 2025 delivers two days of inspiration, collaboration, and commercial opportunity. Over 70 speakers, including leaders from Bentley Motors, Nestlé, Fortnum & Mason, Microsoft, Pladis, and Watches of Switzerland, will explore fibre innovation, circular design, AI-driven human-centred solutions, inclusive design, and evolving policy frameworks, providing insight that drives action, not just conversation.
Kelso added: We’re seeing the excitement building across the industry and our team has worked tirelessly to deliver an event that inspires, connects, and equips designers, brands, and suppliers across every facet of packaging innovation.
