Wednesday 07. November 2012 - For its 40th exhibition, EMBALLAGE has a wealth of meetings, emotions and novelties on the 2012 agenda.

At the heart of the exhibition, exhibitors will set the tone by revealing numerous innovative creations with Pack Innovation. The happening at the 40th show is the exhibition “I love pack, since 1947”, an exclusive retrospective of iconic packaging that reflects our society. Strategy driver, inclusive design, vector of information, cost-cutting factor… the various contributions of packaging will be closely examined by the experts during Pack Vision conferences. A new studio, new programmes and some interesting encounters have also been planned for EMBALLAGE-TV. All the powerful moments of the four days of the exhibition shared live, and broadcast simultaneously on YouTube… Ask for the programme!
