The organizer will hold more than ten industry forums and new technology exchange sessions, in conjunction with bountiful activities such as the Theme Display Area and Packaging Highlights. A large number of professional buyers and visitors are expected to be attracted to the venue, to help upstream and downstream packaging companies to tap business opportunities in the new business landscape. swop 2023 will engage people from all walks of life in the industry to contribute to the continued success in the future.

swop will showcase forward-looking and groundbreaking upgraded highlights and innovative content

[Circular Economy] - With the advent of the dual-carbon era, packaging materials are witnessing innovative changes in the context of achieving the goal of “peaking carbon dioxide emissions and achieving carbon neutrality”, and the circular economy has become a key area for the development of low-carbon, recyclable and sustainable plastic packaging. For the first time, swop 2023 will introduce the Green Power Immersive Interactive Exhibitor Area, which will bring together cutting-edge information, brand design, OEMs and sustainable packaging materials/packaging products on an unprecedented immersive, interactive networking platform created specifically for the packaging supply chain.

[Resource Management] - The global economy is facing supply constraints and material shortages. Resource conservation is in the spotlight worldwide, and the packaging industry is keeping a close eye on resource efficiency. Companies are trying to optimize material recycling by effectively using components and upgrading application systems. swop focuses on integrating resources in the packaging industry to help companies reduce costs and increase efficiency. Exhibitors at swop will showcase high performance components, closed-loop systems, automation technology, environmentally friendly packaging management equipment/systems, and other highlights and technologies.

[Digital Technology] - Digital technology has now become a hot topic in the public spotlight. Innovations such as big data, augmented reality (AR) technology and remote machine maintenance have long been used in assembly plants and machine fleets. swop will bring leading packaging container manufacturing and packaging machinery companies under one roof. Production equipment for packaging containers and materials in the upstream of the industry chain will be exhibited in the special area for intelligent production equipment for packaging containers and materials. New production patterns with small batches, short lead times, large SKU volumes and high product complexity are realized through digitalization, intelligence and personalization.

[Product Safety] - Thanks to the continuous innovation of modern technology, today’s packaging equipment offers greater flexibility in handling product materials, especially in the food sector, to meet the increasingly important individual needs. With a focus on “product safety”, swop 2023 will showcase innovative packaging solutions that help avoid food waste while ensuring internal product safety. Packaging for pre-made dishes is a hot topic in the packaging industry and economy today. In this regard, industry players will focus on the development of new packaging materials and technologies that can extend the shelf life of food in the future.

[FMCG Infinity Zone] - swop and “PKG Family” are working together to create the most valuable and efficient communication channel and platform for FMCGs, and to build the most valuable ecosystem in the FMCG industry chain, bringing together industry elites and top brands. Exhibits in this zone include paper, plastic, metal, glass and other packaging products, materials, goods and design, logistics packaging materials as well as innovative packaging materials such as thin film and color masterbatch. This zone will keep pace with the asset-light operating model favored by brand owners in recent years. Exhibits will range from packaging materials/products to the supply chain, covering the entire FMCG industry chain.

We look forward to seeing you at swop 2023 Shanghai World of Packaging in the Shanghai New International Expo Center from 22 - 24 November, 2023. See you then in this “must attend” event in the processing and packaging industry!
