WEP SEA – World Expo of Packaging Industry Southeast Asia is an international B2B trade fair for the packaging, paper and printing industries. It serves as a key platform for companies looking to enter Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing packaging market or strengthen their presence in the region. The event covers the entire packaging industry value chain, from paper and other raw materials through production, converting and printing technologies to finished packaging and application-specific solutions.

WEP SEA takes place in Jakarta, Indonesia, at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo). Held annually, the trade fair is organised by RX China in strategic collaboration with the World Packaging Organisation (WPO).

The event covers a range of specialised segments within the packaging industry, with a particular focus on corrugated packaging and its production, folding cartons, digital printing, paper and speciality paper, plant-fibre and food packaging, flexible packaging, as well as packaging containers and materials. Exhibits include machinery for corrugated board and carton production and converting, cutting, die-cutting and finishing equipment, digital printing systems, print software and consumables, and raw and speciality papers. The event also showcases flexible packaging materials, machinery for food packaging production, and containers and packaging solutions made from paper, plastic, metal and glass. The portfolio is complemented by automation, production and integrated converting solutions designed to improve efficiency, advance digitalisation and support more sustainable packaging processes.

The exhibitor base spans a broad cross-section of the packaging industry, including machinery and equipment manufacturers, corrugated packaging and folding carton producers, paper manufacturers and paper merchants, suppliers of speciality papers, printing presses and digital printing technologies, and manufacturers of packaging materials and consumables. Companies specialising in food packaging, flexible packaging and packaging containers are also represented. WEP SEA is primarily aimed at decision-makers, buyers, manufacturers, converters and distributors from the packaging, paper and printing industries. Key visitor groups include corrugated packaging and folding carton manufacturers, paper merchants, label and printing companies, packaging manufacturers, distributors and agents, as well as brand owners and end users from sectors such as food and beverages, e-commerce, logistics, consumer goods and pharmaceuticals.
