Who are the exhibitors at this 5th edition?
It is no coincidence that the 5th edition of the trade show dedicated to more environmentally friendly packaging solutions will take place on World Environment Day. Two months before the event, the organizers reveal the exhibitors’ offerings for this unique event, whose theme is not only a topical issue but also a key concern for consumers.
EDITION SPECIALE by LUXE PACK, the trade show dedicated to sustainable premium packaging, will be held on June 4 and 5, 2024, at the Carreau du Temple in Paris, where 100 exhibitors and over 2,500 visitors are expected.
"For this 5th edition, our trade show continues its commitment to sustainability and clearly asserts its objectives: to be THE reference for luxury packaging players who place sustainability at the heart of their packaging development, across various sectors such as perfumery/cosmetics, wines and spirits, fine foods, fashion, leather goods, and more.
Moreover, since the launch of the show, we have been committed to providing rich and relevant content for all brands, whether they are new to or already advanced in their eco-design journey," explains Fabienne Germond, the Show Director.
