Global packaging and processing trade show interpack will move its next processing and packaging trade fair to 10-15 June 2029, with the event adopting a six-day Sunday-to-Friday format following feedback from exhibitors and industry bodies.
The revised schedule replaces the previous seven-day format and is intended to provide a more compact event focused on efficient use of time and networking opportunities for exhibitors and visitors.
The changes follow interpack 2026 and, according to the organisers, mark the first visible step in a broader evolution of the event.
Thomas Dohse, director of interpack, said the revised format reflects feedback from exhibitors and visitors.
"The interpack event is the most important platform in its sector. Building on this position, we are consistently developing the event further. We listen carefully to what exhibitors and visitors need and are creating a format that will support their success at the trade fair even more effectively. This is the first visible sign of that. Further innovations will follow."
According to the organisers, the changes were developed following discussions with exhibiting companies, the interpack Advisory Board and international industry associations. They said the revised format responds to requests for a more compact event schedule centred on high-quality business contacts and more targeted use of time.
Organisers said the Sunday-to-Friday schedule combines international reach with greater efficiency for exhibitors and visitors.
The company also said the June timing, in summer, will see the exhibition site's walkways and outdoor areas become meeting spaces for the global processing and packaging industry, alongside the innovations, discussions and business taking place in the exhibition halls.
According to the organisers, close collaboration with the industry and the ability to respond to new developments remain central to the event's development.
