Packaging Innovations and Empack returns to NEC Birmingham for 2022
Packaging Innovations and Empack 2022, the UK’s flagship packaging event, will reunite the industry when it returns to Birmingham’s NEC on 25 and 26 May. The show will feature suppliers from across the entire packaging process, from initial design and product development stages through to packing, filling, and fulfilment. The broad range of sectors on display makes the show an unmissable event for all visitors across the food and drink industry, regardless of their position in the supply chain.
New Food and Drink Innovation
Many exhibitors will use the show as an opportunity to launch their latest innovations and concepts to the UK market, with an array of products designed specifically for the food and drink community.
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.
Colorlites will promote its latest range of glass bottles and jars. The products can house 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.
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.
Show Features
The show’s seminar programme will take place across three stages, giving visitors the opportunity to learn about the latest challenges and opportunities from a range of leading expert speakers.
The Empack Technology stage will feature content specifically for manufacturing, processing, and logistics professionals, while the Innovation and Design stage and Ecopack stage will highlight the latest developments in packaging design and technology.
Alongside innovation, sustainability will be a key focus at the show. The Ecopack Challenge will return and see sustainability innovators pitch their ‘green’ solutions before a panel of experienced judges, including Ocado. Also, The Big Debate will tackle the latest challenges in the Government’s packaging regulations, and assess whether these guidelines will have a positive impact on reducing waste and improving recyclability.
Renan Joel, Divisional Director at Easyfairs, concludes: “Welcoming our guests back to the NEC after such a long time without a show will be a special experience. We have so much innovation, cutting-edge tech and exciting show features, all packed into two days that we can’t wait to share. It’s going to be a fantastic show!”
