The participating companies include Saueressig, Huber Packaging Group and Druck Chemie. The showcased results clearly reveal how a brand or a product can be supported by the choice of materials and the printing and finishing techniques.

Circling the central space of the special show are the four fields of expertise – materials suppliers (materials, inks, consumables), package printers (support, prepress, digital printing), converters (machines, systems, value chain), and brand manufacturers (marketing, design, purchasing) – each represented by companies with expertise in that area.

Organisers say this provides a 360 degree view of package printing, which not only gives drupa visitors insights into the technologies used to produce the exhibited packages but also provides opportunities for direct and creative exchanges with the participating companies.

Organiser says, “Visitors will find the Pack Plus special show in hall 11. It will be open throughout the entire 14-day period of the drupa trade fair.”

At drupa, the topic of package printing will be highlighted not only by the range of products and services offered by exhibitors from this segment, but also at the “drupa cube” conference and network platform in hall 7a.

On the morning of May 4, the Day of Packaging, speakers from the industry will be talking on a variety of topics, including sustainable packaging concepts, the possibilities offered by digital printing, or methods to prevent counterfeiting of packaging.
