Thursday 23. April 2009 - The 2nd edition of LUXE PACK SHANGHAI was a hands-down success story and confirmed its unique position as a major luxury packaging event in China.

No shadows on the success of this year’s edition

The 2009 edition of the event was held on 17 & 18 March at the Shanghai International Convention Center and recorded more than double visitor numbers: 1908 this year versus 936 in 2007!

50% of visitors were chief executive officers, or directors of purchasing, development, marketing or communication: the expected decision-makers turned up with 90% of visitors coming from China.
The perfumery and cosmetics sector dominated (more than 40% of visitors), not forgetting jewellery, fine foods, wines & spirits, fashion accessories, tobacco, writing implements and other luxury products for which packaging is essential.

A wide range of products and solutions were presented by the 72 exhibitors at the event – almost double the figure for the 1st edition.
All exhibitors confirmed the quality of the visitor list and the multiple and highly qualified contacts covering all sectors of the packaging industry; some exhibitors even managed to conclude contracts right at their stands!

Plain sailing for the conference program: national and international experts discussed current news to understand the local and international markets and prepare for the future;
Events demonstrated just to what extent luxury goes hand in hand with creativity.

Preparation of the 3rd edition of a confirmed concept underway

The original concept of LUXE PACK SHANGHAI as a selective event in luxury packaging in a welcoming atmosphere in China is confirmed by this edition without argument.

There is no doubt that the organisers will yet again underscore this identity at the 3rd edition of LUXE PACK SHANGHAI. The dates are out: 30 & 31 March 2010.
