The packaging industry is one of the most dynamically changing. In 2024, it will benefit from economic recovery after temporary stagnation in the previous period. At the same time, it is influenced by many trends, especially those related to ecology. There is increasing pressure to increase the share of biodegradable, compostable and renewable materials packaging. Every year, Poland ranks among the European leaders in this sector, which is why it was so important to integrate national experts on the way to further development of the industry on the Vistula and Oder River. The ninth edition of Warsaw Pack was used for this purpose, which took place on April 23-25, 2024 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

During the ninth edition of Warsaw Pack, visitors could take part in as many as four educational panels conducted by the most respected experts and practitioners in the industry.

In cooperation with the Polish Chamber of Packaging and Łukasiewicz – Łódź Institute of Technology, a conference “Innovations in packaging – regulations, ecology, digitalization” was organized. During it, the state and market prospects of the packaging industry in 2024 were analyzed, the latest legal regulations were discussed – plastic tax, PPWR, deposit system, and talks about safety and quality management in relation to the requirements for producers of food and cosmetics packaging. In addition, other lectures were given. Marcin Dubownik from Łukasiewicz – Łódź Institute of Technology presented a lecture “Disposable cups and packaging: between technological challenges and sustainable circular practice”, Konrad Sulak talked about sensory packaging based on biopolymers, and Waldemar Galikowski about labeling products and packaging while minimizing costs in the company.

However, this was not the end of education during the Warsaw Pack. Participants could also attend the conference “The evolution of packaging: digitalization, artificial intelligence and EU regulations as the driving force of the industry” organized by Ptak Warsaw Expo in cooperation with Creative Packaging Group. During this event, packaging law in the European Union was presented, 2D code marking was discussed, and the role of artificial intelligence in the sector was highlighted. Moreover, Krzysztof Kondziela from Turck Sp. z o. o. delivered a lecture “Digitization as a tool for increasing production efficiency and reliability”. Moreover, together with Marcin Zieliński (Promark SA.), Wojciech Siwek (Automatec Sp. z o. o.), Dr. Radosław Maruszkin (Law Firm “Maruszkin”) and Radosław Dylewski (WAY TO AI Sp. z o. o.) they took part in a thematic panel discussion moderated by Małgorzata Chomiuk.

On the same day, there was also a panel “Closed-loop packaging – what does the future hold for the industry?”, during which the current situation on the packaging and packaging waste management market was analyzed, PPRW was presented as a new reality for the packaging industry and signaled planned changes in Polish and EU law regarding markings on packaging. However, there were many more topics discussed.

On the last day of Warsaw Pack, those gathered could take part in the Exhibitor Presentations and Trends panel. Five lectures were delivered: “Flintec: products, applications and dynamic weighing” (Arkadiusz Sumowski, Tomasz Kupicha), “Marking with 2D codes – extraordinary opportunities for production, logistics and marketing” (Mariusz Parypiński), “Current changes and legal requirements for food and cosmetics packaging” (Adam Fotek), “What can go wrong? Risk and safety management in the transport of goods” (Tomasz Magoń) and “2D code marking – extraordinary opportunities for production, logistics and marketing” (Mariusz Parypiński).

The educational agenda constructed in this way allowed for enriching and updating the knowledge of all Warsaw Pack participants.

Apart from education, Warsaw Pack was largely used for networking, exchanging commercial information and acquiring valuable leads. The effectiveness of industry integration is confirmed by hundreds of new contract agreements and business connections that allow us to develop in the sector.

The ninth edition of the event was attended by 23 884 representatives of the sector ready to invest, who learned about the offers of 511 exhibitors from 43 European countries.

The latter group included, among others, OCEAN SYSTEMS, HG ROBOTICS, BOSKY, Premacy, Pod Polska, IMA, Chiorino, FOOD PACK, RBECO, THT, ROLLS, SPOLEX, FILMAT, MOSCA, PAKOWARKA, FENIX SYSTEMS, WEINDICH, Łukaszewicz, Green Tree, POLPAK, Pablo, AGJ, Intrex and AWM PAK.

The eighth international packaging technology and packaging fair Warsaw Pack was held on April 18-20, 2023 at Ptak Warsaw Expo. It was a modern platform for discussion about innovations in the industry and the next steps in its development.

The packaging and packaging technology industry is constantly changing in parallel with the consumer and legal realities that affect it. More and more countries are opting for greener solutions, and customers are more aware of the need to make environmentally sustainable choices. This is a major challenge for this sector. We talked about it, as well as about innovations, trends and new technologies during the eighth edition of the Warsaw Pack, which took place at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

Business integration of the largest industry brands during the Warsaw Pack

During the Warsaw Pack, business and its integration were the most important. This event hosted sector leaders and companies that focus on innovation in it.

They presented their offers to a sophisticated group of recipients-visitors (representatives of the packaging industry, food producers, wholesale and retail traders, designers and advertising agencies, representatives of the cosmetics sector, logistics and transport specialists, engineers and quality specialists, representatives of scientific institutions), developing a network of mutual dependencies.

All this to find innovative and most suitable solutions for the recipients, thus dynamizing the development of the sector. At the same time, Warsaw Pack was an opportunity for the participants to open up to international markets and gain customers where it had not been possible before.

“Innovations in packaging” and “Packaging in a closed loop”

During the Warsaw Pack, substantive conferences on the development of the industry could not be missing. On April 18, visitors could listen to the lectures as part of the “Innovations in packaging” panel. During it, among others, Maciej Nałęcz from Santander Bank spoke about the prospects of the packaging market in 2023. Dr. Aneta Pluta-Zaremba and Dr. Jolanta Turek of the Warsaw School of Economics focused on cooperation in the supply chain for circularity – a case study of compostable packaging for food. Adam Uptas from Green Tree spoke about alternative solutions to traditional plastics, and the topic “e-Pack – intelligent returnable packaging dedicated to the e-commerce industry” was discussed by Michał Grabia from the Łukasiewicz Poznański Institute of Technology.

Dynamic development, the most up-to-date issues, competent experts and world-class networking – all this can be found during the eighth edition of Warsaw Pack, the international trade fair for packaging technology and packaging. The event will take place on April 18-20, 2023 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

Recent months have not been easy for the Polish economy, but the packaging industry seems to be immune to it. Despite the crisis and inflation caused by the war, our companies remain among the European leaders in this industry sector. The production growth rate is currently around eight to nine percent. In 2022, the value of the Polish packaging market was approximately PLN 60 billion.

Such a dynamically developing industry needs a place for discussion, development and strengthening business relations. It is the Warsaw Pack, the eighth edition of which will take place on April 18-20 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

Warsaw Pack focuses on the development of the industry

Warsaw Pack is not a standard fair event. It is an event that closely meets the needs of the sector by focusing on a selected group of experts who know everything about the industry. They form the so-called Program Council, which consists of industry leaders. They know where to focus on both networking and education, so that every visitor to Warsaw Pack leaves the event with up-to-date knowledge and new business contacts.

To facilitate navigation for visitors during the Warsaw Pack, the event was divided into sectors. In the Automation and Robotics Zone, they will find mobile robots, laser navigation systems, vision systems, control systems, industrial identification systems and drives. In the E-commerce Zone, participants will have a chance to get acquainted with machines, materials, packaging, labels, tapes and fillers. The Logistics and Warehousing Zone will offer them a wide range of forklifts, platform trucks, lift trucks, as well as palletizers, manipulators, winches, cranes and stackers. In the Packaging Zone, there will be cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging and industrial packaging.

In addition, participants will be able to visit    the Packaging Technology Zone, which will gather a wide range of machines dedicated to the industry, or the Labeling, Labeling and Printing Zone, which will include devices and systems for labeling and marking.

It is worth noting that one of the most important aspects of the Warsaw Pack is the opportunity to expand competences thanks to the educational layer of the event. The Warsaw Pack 2023 conference included “Circular Packaging”, which will take place on April 18, and “Innovations in Packaging” on April 19.

Why is it worth betting on Warsaw Pack?

The Warsaw Pack 2022 fair was visited by 15,000 guests from Poland and abroad. Every year, the event is attended by, among others, business owners, managing directors, managers, designers, representatives of marketing departments as well as purchasing directors and specialists representing various industries (including food, cosmetics, chemical, pharmaceutical, industrial and advertising). It’s thousands of potential customers and business partners in one place and time. Warsaw Pack is therefore a must-have event for people who want to develop in the industry!
