Gift packaging trade fair an immense success
Pack & Gift 2011, a major trade fair for the gift packaging industry which was held this year on the 8th and 9th of June at the Porte de Versailles in Paris, continues to go from strength to strength, attracting more exhibitors and visitors than ever before.
The fair brings together consumers and manufacturers from every sector of the gift packaging industry, and showcases some of the latest developments and designs currently on offer. From greetings cards to promotional items, decorative labels to designer loyalty cards, every conceivable packaging product and service is represented, and this year’s show was stronger than ever.
While last month’s show was only the fourth to have been held, numbers were up on the previous year, with 200 exhibitors (up 12.5% on last year), and 2960 visitors, up a modest yet still respectable 4% over last year’s attendance.
In addition to the various stands where companies could show off their wares, there were also a number of meetings and conferences where delegates could network with each other and find out more about the latest developments in the gift packaging industry.
On the final day of the fair, the 2011 Pack and Green Prize was awarded to the Cosfibel Ultra Light Box, in recognition of its innovative approach to promoting sustainable development in the gift packaging sector.
