Shaping the Future of Sustainable, Smart, and Innovative Packaging
RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin
28th- 29th May 2025
Packedge brings together manufacturers, suppliers, brands and industry leaders to explore the next generation of packaging solutions. It is a practical, decision-maker-led platform to discover approaches that enhance performance, reduce waste and meet evolving consumer and regulatory demands, including PPWR and EPR.
The programme blends case-led talks with a curated exhibition so teams can compare options across areas such as breakthrough material science and smarter substrates, structural design and prototyping, printing, labelling and visual inspection technologies, and smart automation for forming, filling, sealing and downstream control. Circularity and end-of-life, smart and connected packaging, and supply chain and logistics are also in scope.
