2015 Shanghai International Packaging Products and Packaging Materials Exhibition
Date: October 10-12, 2015 
Location: Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Center (No.88 Caobao Rd)
In the 30 years of reform and opening up, the rapid development of China’s packaging industry had boosted the gross packaging industrial output value from 7.2 billion Yuan in 1980 to 1.3 trillion Yuan in 2012, ranked second in the world. China is transforming from a large packaging country into a powerful packaging country. As everyone knows, China is the world’s largest commodity producing and exporting country with a huge market, thus it becomes the world’s fastest growing packaging market with the largest scale and best potential, and China’s packaging industry will sustain a positive growth for a long time in the future. However, the rapid development of the packaging industry accordingly puts forward the higher requirements for the industry. Currently, China’s packaging industry is in the stage of industrial upgrading, shifting the previous emphasis on practicability onto the environmental requirements, such as safe, hygiene and easy to recycle and reuse, therefore, green packaging materials will be vigorously explored and developed. Advocates for green, lightweight and appropriate packaging become a strategic focus of development in the packaging industry.
The 2014 Shanghai International Packaging Products and Packaging Materials Exhibition is the only procurement event focusing on packaging products and materials. After 8 years of growth, it has established its leadership position in China's packaging industry exhibitions. It gained high praise from visitors and exhibitors, with a re-participation rate of 78% and an annual growth rate of over 20%, for its strong specialty, wide publicity level, high product positioning, and a large amount of foreign trade businesses. With substantial support from various industry associations and related media, the 2015 Shanghai International Packaging Products and Packaging Materials Exhibition will continue to uphold the last event’s good momentum of participation by increasing well-known exhibitors and focus on the middle/high-end, making it the most authoritative exchange platform where packaging industries at home and abroad launch new products, materials and technologies. This year (2015), the exhibition will strengthen the audience organization, inviting industry associations, in food, medicine, household chemicals, alcohol, beverage, health products, gifts, medical equipment, electronics, jewelry, household appliances, tobacco, cars, agricultural products, daily necessities, building materials, and sports goods, and their affiliated members to visit the exhibition. Meanwhile, we also pay attention to introduce the world’s most advanced packaging technologies, ideas and products to domestic packaging companies, in order to help more users understand the cutting-edge technologies, appreciate the latest trends, and get access to the latest designs, effectively providing multi-channel development opportunities for the exhibitors.
