Tokyo Pack 2018
Tokyo Pack 2018, Asia’s international packaging technology and design show, will take place from 2 – 5 October 2018 at the Tokyo Big Sight International Exhibition Center.
Every two years Tokyo Pack gives the Asia region its largest display of newly commercialised and prototype technology and pack design. With new impetus from global marketing, the Tokyo Pack brand is on track to achieving a truly international status. “We expect to register in advance around 70,000 visitors and see up to 200,000 in total coming through the doors over the four days, with a much greater overseas participation,” says Shigeo Koshino, general managing director of Japan Packaging Institute, the show’s organiser.
At the 2016 event, international exhibitors made up around 25% of the total number (669), and 3,483 pre-registered overseas visitors out of a total of 62,171 pre-registered visitors.
Saving food and waste will be a key theme of Tokyo International Packaging Exhibition Tokyo Pack. Japanese industry specialities include precision engineering, active technologies in pack devices and smart films that draw on Japan’s 50 pioneering years, innovation in resealable systems for flexible plastics, and functional packaging papers and boards. Environmental ‘heroes’ in water-based printing are cutting levels of avoidable greenhouse-gas emissions.
