Tokyo Pack 2018
The international packaging technology, materials and design show Tokyo Pack returns to Tokyo Big Sight International Exhibition Center from Tuesday, 2 October to Friday, 5 October. This year’s theme is “Let’s create packaging for all our tomorrows”. The seminar series will cover eco-design trends and packaging initiatives that are making headlines around the world, and much more. Key presentations will be given in Japanese and English.
Visitors can expect some important ‘firsts’ and new launches that reflect a revolution in manufacturing methods and which address critical societal and environmental issues. Key themes will be the factory floor of the future designed around automated processes and robotics; accessible design solutions relevant to an aging population; packaging technologies to help food supply chains withstand increased threat of disruption due to the effects of global climate change.
Japan puts the needs of the environment at the heart of packaging design. It is recognised as a trailblazer in sustainable production and waste management methods, resource recycling and creating strong markets for recyclates as part of a nationally supported packaging Circular Economy.
A busy programme of parallel events includes AsiaStar Awards Night, celebrating the winners of Asia’s packaging ‘oscars’ that go on to compete for 2019 WorldStar awards.
