Spend four days viewing packaging's future

Tokyo Pack is the showcase in which the most advanced packaging developments globally tend to make their debuts.

At the last Tokyo Pack in 2012, Showa Aluminum Can Corporation showed off its colour changing can used by Asahi Breweries. Last year, local brewer CUB used this type of technology to boost its launch of Carlton Cold in September. The Carlton Cold bottle also features thermo chromic ink – a change in colour on the label shows when when the beer is cold and at optimal drinking temperature.

What ideas will you find there to boost your business? This year's Tokyo Pack includes a number of side shows featuring Japan's most cutting edge package innovations.

The Next Generation High Performance Packaging Pavilion will feature breakthrough packaging solutions creating extended product shelf life, and will highlight environmentally-friendly packages and new decoration and print technology solutions.

The Good Packaging Pavilion will feature the year’s best in Japanese packaging innovation and technology  – the Japan Star 2014 winners. This is the collection of Japan’s most advanced and creative packaging designs and technology chosen by expert industry professionals. And your opportunity to see the top commercial packaging solutions in the world's most sophisticated packaging market. This pavilion will also house a display of the food and beverage packaging applications common to different countries – packaging that knows no borders because it is able to accommodate the variety of consumer behaviours and habits throughout the world.

Tokyo Pack launched in 1966 and is owned and operated by the Japan Packaging Institute (JPI). This year, the biennial exhibition will feature more than 2,600 booths representing 600 companies in the 23,000m2 exhibition space. More than 170,000 people visited the last Tokyo Pack (2012) during its four days of exhibitions.
