NEC Birmingham to host Packaging Innovations and Empack 2022
Packaging Innovations and Empack 2022 will bring the packaging community together when it returns to NEC Birmingham on 25 and 26 May. The event will feature suppliers from across the entire packaging process, from the initial design and product development stages through to packing, filling, and fulfilment. This broad range of sectors makes the event unmissable for all visitors across the food and drink industry, no matter where they work in the supply chain.
New Innovations
Many exhibitors will be using the event to launch their latest innovations and concepts to the UK market, with an array of products designed specifically for the food and drink community.
Notably, Lactips will launch its Plastic Free Paper – a fully recyclable and compostable solution. It can be used for industrial food applications, as the coating provides a barrier to oxygen, fats, and mineral oils.
The Label Makers will display its wide range of sustainable label solutions, including those for recyclable bottles. The bespoke service is aimed at delivering the strongest on-pack message, to ensure maximum shelf stand-out.
Colorlites will promote its latest range of glass bottles and jars. The products can be used to package a variety of foods including oils, spices, and preserves.
Damati Plastic will present its range of recyclable and reusable plastic food takeaway containers, including two and three partition containers and bowls, as well as hinged varieties.
New Vision Packaging will showcase its range of novelty, seasonal, and limited-edition packaging solutions designed to add additional consumer value to limited-life products.
Seminar Sessions
The Packaging Innovations and Empack seminar programme will take place across three stages, giving visitors the opportunity to learn about the latest challenges and solutions from a range of expert speakers. The Empack Technology stage will feature content specifically for manufacturing, processing, and logistics professionals. Meanwhile, the Innovation and Design stage and Ecopack stage will highlight the latest developments in packaging design and technology. To see the full speaker line-up please visit our website.
Event Features
Alongside innovation, sustainability will be a key focus at the event. The Ecopack Challenge will return and see sustainability innovators pitch their solutions before a panel of experienced judges, including Ocado. Also, The Big Debate will tackle the latest challenges in packaging regulations and look at whether these guidelines will have a positive impact on reducing waste and improving recyclability.
Elsewhere, 12 exhibitors will compete for the title of ‘Most Innovative Pack’, as the Innovation Showcase returns. This interactive area of the event allows visitors to get up close to some of the most innovative packaging on the market and vote for their favourite. The winner will be announced live on the event floor.
Renan Joel, Divisional Director at Easyfairs, concludes: “We can’t wait for the doors to open after such a long time away. We have a vast selection of exciting new innovation and event features this year, which we can’t wait to share with you all. It has been too long without an event in Birmingham. We can’t wait to see everyone on 25 & 26 May.”
