interpack China Shanghai

interpack China is an international trade fair for the packaging and processing industries. Aimed specifically at professional visitors, it serves as a highly specialised platform for innovation, technology and business development in the Asian market.

The event is held annually at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), one of Asia’s most advanced exhibition venues, located in the heart of Shanghai. It is organised by Adsale Group, a leading Asian exhibition organiser specialising in industrial and technology-focused trade fairs, with particular expertise in facilitating access to the Chinese market.

The exhibition covers the entire value chain of the packaging industry, offering a comprehensive overview of both current trends and future developments. Key areas include advanced packaging machinery and equipment, innovative materials and packaging solutions, intelligent packaging technologies, and processing systems for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and industrial goods. This encompasses, for example, automated filling systems, digital control solutions for production lines, and sustainable packaging concepts designed to meet increasing regulatory and environmental requirements.

A strong emphasis is placed on the industry’s major transformation themes. interpack China demonstrates how companies can enhance efficiency through the use of artificial intelligence, data-driven production processes and Industry 4.0 technologies. At the same time, sustainable materials and circular economy models are becoming increasingly prominent. The show also highlights packaging solutions that extend shelf life, improve product safety and strengthen brand communication through design and personalisation—particularly relevant in China’s rapidly expanding FMCG and e-commerce sectors.

Highlights include hands-on live demonstrations of machinery and complete production lines, expert-led forums, and presentations of the latest innovations.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of industries, including mechanical engineering, packaging materials, chemicals, printing and design, as well as food and pharmaceutical technology. The visitor profile is equally diverse, comprising primarily decision-makers, buyers, engineers and production managers from the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and consumer goods sectors.

In addition to its technical depth, the exhibition benefits significantly from its location. The Shanghai New International Expo Center offers modern infrastructure, excellent transport links via metro, high-speed rail and international airports, and proximity to one of the world’s leading economic hubs—creating ideal conditions for effective networking and sustainable business success.
