PACKINNO — Packaging Products Exhibition

PACKINNO is the dedicated exhibition for packaging products and materials within Guangzhou’s early-March packaging cluster, running March 4–6, 2026 in Area B, China Import & Export Fair Complex (Canton Fair Complex). The show emphasizes “Packaging of Different Materials,” highlighting creative and sustainable solutions while serving as the products/materials counterpart to the machinery-focused Sino-Pack held in parallel. For buyers, this format compresses scouting and supplier shortlisting into a single, meeting-dense program: brand owners, packaging buyers and converters can audit substrates, barrier performance, recyclability claims and compliance documents side-by-side, then move straight to pricing bands and MOQ talks. For suppliers, co-location lifts qualified footfall and enables cross-hall workflows with printing/label stakeholders. Official pages confirm dates, venue and organizer, and the homepage frames cluster-wide scale figures (15 halls, 150 000 sqm, 130 000+ trade visitors, 2 200+ exhibitors) as “4-in-1 Expo” metrics, providing context for planning but not implying that all totals pertain to PACKINNO alone.

Themes cover the breadth of packaging products and materials: paper, board and molded fiber; plastics across mono-material and multi-layer structures; glass and metal for premium and retortable formats; flexible packaging films and laminations; closures, dispensing and convenience systems; labels, sleeves and decorative elements; inks, coatings and barrier layers; and enabling components like adhesives, liners and protective inserts. The curation favors circularity and low-impact choices—recyclable mono-PE/PP streams, rPET/rHDPE content, lightweighting, refill/reuse systems and compostable options—alongside traceability and regulatory alignment for food contact and cosmetics. For retailers and FMCG, the exhibition enables rapid A/B evaluation of shelf impact, transport efficiency and line compatibility; for DTC and cross-border e-commerce, it supports quick turns on small-batch customizations. As the organizer states, PACKINNO positions itself as an influential Asian platform for innovative, creative and sustainable packaging, making it a practical venue to pressure-test designs against cost, compliance and customer experience.

Attendance typically combines brand owners and retailers (FMCG, F&B, beauty, household, pet care), converters and packaging manufacturers (rigid, flexible and hybrid), materials and component suppliers (substrates, closures, labels, inks, coatings), and service providers in design, compliance, logistics and digital printing. Buyers arrive with specific briefs—format conversions to mono-material, PCR targets, downgauging without barrier loss, or premiumization under tight A-per-unit limits—so discussions quickly move from samples to validated specifications, certificates and commercial terms. Converters benchmark substrate availability, lead times and secondary processes, checking whether new designs sustain machinability at speed. Enablers such as data-carriers, serialization/anti-counterfeit and LCA consultants help quantify environmental claims. The co-located halls draw additional traffic from the machinery side (Sino-Pack), which is useful for confirming downstream running parameters and capex implications before committing to wide rollouts. The event’s visitor information confirms Adsale’s organizing role and the trade-only positioning.

On the floor, buyers review finished and semi-finished packaging—cartons, trays, pouches, sachets, bottles, jars, cans, caps and pumps—together with substrates and embellishments that determine consumer appeal and line performance. Exhibitors showcase paperboard grades, molded fiber, PET/HDPE/PP containers, mono-material PE/PP films, high-barrier laminates, aluminum and steel options for shelf-stable foods, as well as coatings, inks and functional layers for grease, oxygen and moisture management. Value-added finishing spans cold/foil, tactile coatings, special color systems and anti-tamper devices; for e-commerce, shippers evaluate returnable and frustration-free constructs. Dialogue routinely covers compliance (GB standards, food-contact migration), recyclability logos, EPR readiness, palletization and cube efficiency, plus MOQ/lead-time trade-offs for seasonal launches. Because PACKINNO is products-centric, teams can make material choices while cross-checking downstream convertibility next door at the machinery shows, accelerating decision cycles from weeks to days. The official “About” and visit pages outline this product-and-materials scope.

The Canton Fair Complex’s Area B is specified by the organizer as the 2026 location, with operating hours from the morning of March 4 through March 6. The venue’s scale and logistics ecosystem make it practical to handle crate flows for fragile glass, decorated metal and temperature-sensitive samples while providing meeting space for multi-stakeholder negotiations. Its Pazhou location concentrates hotels, metro access and exhibition services, allowing full-day buyer programs that combine booth evaluations with off-site supplier office calls. Address references for the complex list No. 380, Yuejiang Middle Road, Guangzhou, which many logistics teams use for declarations and delivery planning. Co-location with Sino-Pack simplifies hall-to-hall evaluation when material choices hinge on downstream filling and sealing capabilities. All venue and date details used here are drawn from PACKINNO’s official pages and trusted event listings.

PACKINNO is organized by Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., a Hong Kong-based organizer known for industry shows such as Sino-Pack and CHINAPLAS. The PACKINNO visit page and J-Messe listing explicitly name Adsale as organizer and present trade-only admission via online registration. For exhibitors, Adsale’s integrated operations—buyer recruitment, media and on-site services—translate into predictable traffic and structured matchmaking that focus talks on price ladders, MOQ and sustainability claims verification. For buyers, this backbone yields clear exhibitor categorization and service desks for sample logistics and certification queries. The combination of long-running March dates and Adsale’s network creates continuity for annual sourcing calendars.
