Contents & Core Focus:
FACHPACK 2027 will comprehensively showcase the entire spectrum of packaging and processing technology. The event is structured around key pillars:
1. Packaging Materials & Solutions: Discover the latest innovations in sustainable packaging materials (bioplastics, mono-materials, recyclable formats), flexible packaging, labels, closures, and industrial packaging. Exhibitors will present materials offering enhanced functionality, reduced environmental impact, and cost-efficiency.
2. Packaging Machinery & Technology: This core area features state-of-the-art machinery for filling, sealing, labeling, coding, forming, filling & sealing (FFS), palletizing, and robotic packaging solutions. Highlights will include automation, Industry 4.0 integration, and efficient, high-speed production lines tailored to diverse industries.
3. Packaging Logistics & Handling: Explore solutions for efficient warehouse logistics, intralogistics, transport packaging systems, palletizing systems, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Focus will be on optimizing the entire supply chain flow, from production to final delivery.
4. Services & Print: Connect with providers of packaging design, prototyping, testing services, quality assurance, and printing technologies (digital, flexo, gravure) for labels and packaging. Services ensuring compliance and brand integrity will be prominent.
5. Sustainability & Circular Economy: A dominant theme throughout FACHPACK 2027. Exhibitors will showcase solutions enabling reduction, reuse, and recycling. Look for innovations in lightweighting, mono-material design, refill systems, compostable materials, and efficient sorting/recycling technologies. Dedicated forums and pavilions will focus on the green transition.
6. Digitalization & Smart Packaging: Experience the future with demonstrations of IoT-enabled packaging, smart labels (RFID, NFC), data integration, traceability solutions, and AI-powered process optimization. Digital tools for packaging design simulation and production management will also be featured.
7. Food & Non-Food Packaging: Solutions tailored to specific industries, including food & beverage (hygiene, modified atmosphere packaging, portion control), pharmaceuticals (compliance, tamper-evident), cosmetics, e-commerce (protective, sustainable mailers), and industrial goods.
Beyond the Exhibition Floor:
FACHPACK 2027 is more than just a trade show. It offers a rich program of specialized forums, expert talks, and workshops covering critical industry trends like regulatory changes (e.g., Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation - PPWR), market developments, and technological advancements. The PACKBOX innovation area will present groundbreaking packaging concepts, while the PACKAGING AWARD will celebrate excellence. Numerous networking events and guided tours provide unparalleled opportunities for knowledge exchange and building business relationships.
