Held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris Packaging Week has become one of the most important international gatherings for innovation in packaging. Over two days, the exhibition brings together designers, engineers, brands and suppliers to explore the latest trends and technologies in packaging.
The event brings together over 915 exhibitors and thousands of professionals who come to discover new packaging solutions in key sectors such as beauty, luxury goods, premium beverages and aerosols.
The exhibition is organised around several specialised sectors:
In addition to the exhibition, Paris Packaging Week offers conferences, demonstrations and events dedicated to innovation, design and sustainability. Visitors can discover the latest trends in areas such as the Discovery Zone or at the Pentawards Festival, a global benchmark for packaging design.
A true global gathering for the sector, the show attracted 14,442 unique visitors in 2026, alongside 915 exhibitors, 213 speakers and professionals from 87 countries, reinforcing its international reach and continued growth. The event also stands out for its strong local roots, with nearly half of the visitors coming from the Paris region, helping to limit long-distance travel and thus optimise the fair’s overall environmental footprint.
The previous edition had already reached a milestone with 12,588 visitors and over 880 exhibitors, a significant increase compared to previous years.
This dual dimension, both local and global, is one of the fair’s strengths: whilst a third of the visitors come from abroad, the presence of a dense Île-de-France ecosystem (brands, agencies, manufacturers) fosters rapid exchanges, concrete collaborations and a high level of business activity on site.
At a time when innovation, sustainability and product experience have become strategic priorities, these initiatives make the trade fair a genuine hub for discussion and inspiration for brands looking to design the packaging of the future.
