More than 130 exhibitors have already signed up for Packaging Innovations London, which returns to the Business Design Centre on 1-2 October this year. Organiser easyFairs says this is a 41% increase on this time last year.
Among the exhibitors will be Cole Fabrics Pic, Esko-Graphics, HH Deluxe Packaging, Macfarlane Packaging and N Smith & Co.
Matt Benyon, MD of easyFairs UK and Ireland, says: "As we enter our fourth year, Packaging Innovations London has become the show designers and marketers head to for inspiration. The emphasis is firmly on creativity, branding and marketing - showcasing the latest trends and developments in design and high-end packaging.
"It is this appeal which draws in the major names such as Estée Lauder, Manchester United, Sainsbury's, Stella McCartney, Bacardi Global Brands and Waitrose, who all attended the show last year."
The 2013 show will include four key areas: the Brand & Design Village; a dedicated Luxury Packaging area; Contract Pack; and Packaging Innovations itself.
There will also be an array of free-to-attend learnShops seminars covering every aspect of packaging, as well as the Lions' Lair and The BIG Packaging Debate.
