Senior Marketing Manager, James Montero MacColl, said: If you've never experienced one of our shows before, there's no better time to jump in than 2024. The consistently glowing reports from last year's shows make it clear that exhibitors engage in valuable networking with existing and new contacts, secure high-quality leads and consider our events a must-visit to gain the latest updates from the industry.

But if you've attended or exhibited in previous years, you'll know why the show has that reputation. When you combine all the biggest names in the world of packaging and D2C brands under one roof, magic happens.

Not only that, but they offer a unique platform to connect, learn, and get inspired, whether you're a packaging supplier, specifier, buyer, or designer.
