ORGANISERS of London Packaging Week have revealed plans to showcase the best in premium and luxury packaging when it combines three events – PCD, PLD, and Packaging Première – under one roof.
Exhibitors at the co-located events will demonstrate the latest packaging solutions for the perfume, cosmetics, personal care, fashion, jewellery, spirits, wine, and soft drink sectors, when it takes place for the first time at London Olympia on 21 and 22 September 2022.
PCD will connect packaging professionals within the cosmetic, skincare, make-up, perfume, and luxury sectors, with packaging products, materials, and suppliers.
BellaGiada will be presenting its new range of sustainable natural materials, including its certified 100% recycled leather, ‘reborn’, a material said to have previously never used in luxury packaging design and manufacture.
Fillcon will debut its Cosmetic Spouted Pouch Filling solution for cosmetics. The spouted design allows it to be lightweight, whilst using approximately 70% less plastic. The pouches can be recycled.
Micro Delta Packaging will introduce its SP05 R Trigger Sprayer and Pearl 2 Next Generation Airless System. The new trigger is made from 100% polyolefin making it a recyclable option.
Vetroplas will expand its recyclable offering by introducing a new flip top cap made from HDPE for its 24/410 bottle, and a TIM lid featuring a new PP gasket/seal.
PLD will connect packaging designers, specifiers, and buyers from wine, spirits, and premium soft drinks brands with suppliers and experts.
Borough Chrome Plating will use the show to launch its lightweight plastic components with metal plating to the packaging community for the first time. The design is described as imitating an original metal finish in look, feel, and durability, but with a ‘considerable’ weight and cost saving.
Proper Goose will highlight its new sub brand, Bottled Goose, which offers a bespoke service for glassware, bottles, plastics, cans, and homeware products, with a range of printing options including matte, gloss, and gradient effects.
Packaging Première, meanwhile, is described as an ‘exclusive’ exhibition to connect those creating packaging for the luxury sector with international brands.
Exhibiting will be Fedrigoni, showcasing its ‘Selected’ collection of papers for packaging. The range is designed to assist designers in the selection of papers and boards for ‘unique’ packaging projects.
GMG Color will launch its colour accurate packaging solution using its GMG OpenColor and GMG ColorProof software, which is said to enable colour accurate and repeatable proofing direct to packaging production substrates including carton, film, and foil.
Josh Brooks, marketing and community director for Easyfairs’ packaging events, said, “Luxury and premium packaging by its nature is very tactile. It’s essential that it tells a story to draw in consumers and take them on a journey with the brand.
“Between our PCD, PLD, and Packaging Première co-located events, London Packaging Week is the perfect place to discover the experts perfectly placed to help brands tell these multi-faceted stories through their packaging.”
