UNBOXING
From challenges to achievements – An open and revealing space to address the challenges facing packaging from start to finish, from a tangible, specific and measurable standpoint.
An opportunity to experience at first hand how innovation can give rise to more efficient and profitable solutions.

Five demonstrations of packaging as a driver of innovation:
