Programme of FACHPACK
We create the future is the slogan of FACHPACK, which also runs through the extensive supporting programme. Trends are picked up here, impulses for new ideas are created in dialogue and invite to join in.
"Transition in packaging"
Key theme 2022
FACHPACK perceives itself as a guide, and aims to offer direction to the sector. The new key theme for 2022 is therefore devoted to the powerful trends currently impacting on the packaging industry.
Sustainability is demanded not only by law but also by consumers – and that is making far-reaching changes to the industry. Subjects such as the circular economy, digitalization and e-commerce add to the mix.
Covid-19 has brought a focus to the aspect of hygiene in product protection. In addition, areas such as online shopping and home deliveries will continue to grow. What purchasing behaviours will consumers exhibit in the future? All these themes are not only a task for the packaging industry; they also offer a major opportunity to make changes.
PACKBOX and TECHBOX forums
WE ARE IMPULSE GIVERS
The PACKBOX and TECHBOX and forums are now fixed programme items and popular crowd pullers at FACHPACK. In 2021, around 8,200 participants were inspired by topics relating to sustainability, design, recycling, digitalisation and automation. At FACHPACK 2022, the key theme "Transition in packaging" plays a special role in the presentations, but also future topics on entrepreneurship, business development and product innovation.
What is special about the PACKBOX and TECHBOX is that important partners from the industry will be designing the programme and inviting interested parties to listen or join in the discussion.
Exhibitor forum INNOVATIONBOX
In addition to the PACKBOX and TECHBOX and forums, the INNOVATIONBOX is available, the new exhibitor forum at FACHPACK. Registered exhibitors preseted their innovations and product highlights to the trade visitors on site and live streamed in short, crisp presentations of 30 minutes.
Special show: Transition in Packaging by Design
The special shows organized as part of FACHPACK will provide new impulses, offer inspiration, and outline perspectives. Focus will be on current industry trends and future-related topics. In line with the topic of the trade fair, at the special show in Hall 7 titled Transition in Packaging through Design, NürnbergMesse and bayern design will direct attention on opportunities in packaging design created by transformation processes in society.These processes go hand in hand with changes to consumers’ desires and behaviors. Companies are facing new challenges, both ecological and regarding customer retention. At the FACHPACK Special Show 2022, bayern design will present designers’ responses to these transformations.
Redesigning packaging encompasses new mindsets, new actions, and clear communication. Designers see their mandate for redesign as a playing field for aesthetics and sustainability coupled with the opportunity for in-depth change. To do so, they rely on creative, technical, and communicative innovations to support companies as they become part of this transformation and integrate it in their respective brands.
As part of the special show, Address, Amaze, and Advance will showcase selected examples of designers who have used package design strategically: as a means of communication or interaction, or as a field of application for sustainable materials development. The innovations on display will be a source of inspiration for new trends and impulses in the packaging industry. As well as being featured in the exhibition, they will be made experienceable at the special show and at PACKBOX
