A fibre-based closure that replaces plastic caps, a refillable airless glass jar, and a carbon-neutral shrink tunnel are among a 26-strong shortlist for this year’s Innovation Gallery at London Packaging Week.
The shortlist has been curated by an expert panel of judges and for 2026 has been expanded to 26 products, selected from all four areas of the exhibitor list: luxury, beauty, drinks and FMCG.
The products will all be displayed as part of the Innovation Gallery during London Packaging Week 2026, while each exhibitor will also be showing off their innovations on their respective stands.
Paul Jenkins, founder and CEO of ThePackHub and who led the judging panel, said, “The London Packaging Week 2026 Innovation Gallery is the simplest way to discover what is new across the event floor. By pinpointing specific innovations and breakthroughs, we give brand owners, packaging developers, designers, and sustainability leaders a fast overview of the most exciting launches at the event.”
Paul will lead a guided tour of the Innovation Gallery on both days of the show. Those who visit also get to select the winner by tapping their badge on the solution they believe to be the most innovative.
