Easyfairs UK has confirmed that 2024’s London Packaging Week, held at the ExCeL London International Exhibition and Convention Centre, attracted a more than 5000 visitors over two days in September. This marks a new milestone in the event's 12 year history.
Originally launched as Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London, the event has evolved into a dynamic platform for brands, packaging designers, technologists, and suppliers to connect and innovate. The 2024 edition featured more than 190 exhibitors, showcasing products and solutions designed to shape the future of packaging across multiple sectors, including beauty, luxury, food, drink, and FMCG.
London Packaging Week 2024 celebrated its most successful edition to date, attracting a record number of industry professionals from diverse and influential roles. Key job functions represented among the attendees included managing directors, general managers, founders, CEOs, creative directors, packaging designers, and sales and business development leaders.
Attendees valued opportunities to discover new products, with 70% prioritising innovation and 54% seeking new suppliers.
‘I believe London Packaging Week has a great impact within the design and packaging community,’ said Tiago Russo, chief design officer, The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. ‘The overall quality of the exhibitors is very good, and the additional content such as the talks, discussion panels, etc adds a lot of interest to the show and helps to showcase, educate, and bring added value to the fields of design, packaging and ultimately product development.’
Muhammad Usman, procurement manager, pz Cussons, said: ‘This is my third year coming to London Packaging Week, I come every year! I noticed every year it goes more towards sustainability and carbon neutral which is a good thing. I am here to find a recycled type of material and have found a lot of exhibitors providing this.’
Easyfairs is already hinting at exciting developments for next year's London Packaging Week, which will return to ExCeL across 15 and 16 October 2025.
