Interpack is the world's biggest international trade show for the packaging and processing industries. No other industry trade fair can compare when it comes to representing the global market in its entire variety and scope, and offering visitors the biggest international overview of the market.

Around 2700 companies from around the world will meet in Düsseldorf from 4 -10 May, 2023, to present cutting edge technologies and packaging trends from along the entire value chain, demonstrate chances for growth and respond to the challenges of the industry.

When it was last held in 2017, the show attracted more than 170,000 visitors, with more than 1700 from Australia, many of them APPMA members and their customers.

This year, APPMA and PKN, in collaboration with Interpack organisers, will be hosting a networking drinks event at the International Lounge, starting at 4pm on 5 May. The event is open to APPMA and non-APPMA members. You can register here
