AUSPACK 2019 trade show organiser ETF has announced exhibition space is 100% sold out and looks set to be the biggest event in the show's history.

More than 350 suppliers representing 1200 global brands will occupy the show floor at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26-29 March, 2019, focusing on trends such as digital print, e-commerce, Industry 4.0, sustainability, and smart packaging solutions.

“AUSPACK 2019 will showcase a host of global trends in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing and packaging industries,” said Mark Dingley, chairman of AUSPACK owners the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA).

“With a record Sydney show in 2017, our 2019 event returning to Melbourne is looking exciting, with the largest display of exhibitors yet. It will be the perfect place for those across the packaging and processing sectors to find solutions to increase efficiencies across their business.”

According to Albert Kruger, event director, the show next year, which will also host the APPMA Awards of Excellence, will not only be bigger but better than before.

“AUSPACK 2019 will allow attendees to see first hand products that offer even greater safety, security, automation and cost-saving benefits,” he said.

“The depth and breadth of exhibitors and attendees to AUSPACK bring fantastic networking opportunities with key players across the food, beverage and pharmaceutical markets.

“Registration to AUSPACK is free and I urge people to head to the website now to register.”
