I. Fair Features: Distinctive and Unique

The Hong Kong International Printing & Packaging Fair was first held in

year, and is a UFI

professional brand exhibition.

It provides a premier regional showcase platform for suppliers of printing and packaging products, materials, services and solutions

. It completely overturns the traditional pattern in which equipment suppliers are exhibitors at printing and packaging fairs while downstream printing and packaging plants are buyers purchasing the latest equipment and consumables.

Exhibitors at the Hong Kong Printing & Packaging Fair consist of various types of printing service providers and packaging service and solution providers, while downstream buyers are prospective users from manufacturing, services, finance and other industries around the world that need printing and packaging services.

II. Review of Previous Editions: A Grand Occasion

In 2019, the number of exhibitors reached

countries and regions

17,361

buyers came to the fair, of whom

6,967 were from Hong Kong and 10,394 were from overseas. Of these, 7,916 buyers came from Asia, 933 from Europe, 688 from North America and 392 from Australia and the Pacific Islands, while the Middle East, Latin America and Africa accounted for 197, 165 and 103 buyers respectively.

Well-known printing and packaging companies from Hong Kong, China, such as Tsang Wing Company, Man Sang Envelope, Kong Fung Plastic Box, Choi Fai

(Plastic Bags), Hong Kong New Dao Company and Next Technologies (HK) Limited all presented their latest products and technologies at the fair.

Leading and top-100 printing enterprises from the Chinese mainland, such as Shanghai Jielong Industry Group, Shanghai Tobacco, Shanghai Longlide, Shenzhen Jiuxing, Xiamen Jihong, Shanghai Zidan, Yongxin Packaging, Guangzhou Hengyuan, Fujian Nanwang, Zhejiang Shuguang, Taizhou Senlin and Zhejiang Xinya, attended as exhibitors, as did leading enterprises in various sub-sectors of the printing and packaging industry, such as Dongguan Jingli and Shenzhen Meishenglong in metal packaging, and Shenzhen Shengxiang and Yisen, leading enterprises in the paper display stand sector.

exhibitors also took part enthusiastically, making the fair highly valuable across the entire field of printing and packaging service providers.

"International Sourcing Show", held in an online

+ physical dual mode

The online fair in March and the physical fair in July

allow buyers and sellers, while the pandemic has still not subsided, to use the HKTDC's dedicated online exhibition platform as early as the March sourcing peak for business matching and remote video meetings, and then, once the pandemic eases, to capture more business opportunities in all respects through the physical exhibition held in July.

Two editions were held in July and November 2020 respectively:

"Summer Sourcing Show"

"Autumn Sourcing Show"

online exhibitions. The Autumn Sourcing Show brought together

global paid exhibitors and attracted more than

27,000

quality buyers from countries and regions to register and take part; apart from local buyers in Hong Kong, other buyers came mainly from India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Taiwan, China, the UAE and the United States.

Through a global network of 50 offices, the organizer invited international buyers to take part and facilitated more than 9,000 online business matching video meetings.

IV. Exhibition Zones: Where the Spotlight Falls

"Luxury Packaging Zone"

(De Luxe Zone) returns once again and continues to expand in scale, having become a major highlight of the fair. Looking at markets around the world, demand in the luxury goods market is growing rapidly, and the fair's

"Luxury Packaging Zone"

will present a wide range of premium printing and luxury packaging solutions, covering everything from food and beverage and cosmetics to jewellery and watches, lifestyle and general merchandise and other products.

"Green Printing & Packaging Solutions"

The Green Printing & Packaging Solutions zone, returning with accolades, is an ideal venue for displaying materials conducive to sustainable development and recycled materials, eco-friendly products and related services, and is bound to attract countless buyers from different industries.

29 exhibitors from different fields displayed various eco-friendly printing solutions, recyclable packaging products and even innovative waste solvent regeneration systems in this zone. The zone will list more new product categories; visitors can see recycled materials and products and technologies conducive to sustainable development, as well as the future trends of eco-friendly packaging.

To meet market demand, "Advertising & Signage World"

returns at the 2021 fair to showcase innovative visual communication strategies. Highlights of the brand-new zone include a variety of advertising solutions, 3D printing, digital printing, advertising displays, visual merchandising and POP displays.

The new-generation industry is also a key promotion focus for exhibitors. According to our research, demand involving biodegradable materials,

3D printing and digital printing is growing, and companies are increasingly interested in innovative retail display solutions and technology-related developments such as digital signage, RFID labels and POP displays.
