The next Allforpack Emballage Paris packaging trade show will not take place in November 2026 as originally planned. The trade show will now be held from June 29 to July 1, 2027, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, rather than at Paris Nord Villepinte. The organizer, Comexposium, attributes this postponement to discussions held with stakeholders in the packaging industry.
This postponement of a few months is intended to better accommodate the industry?s business cycles and the international calendar of packaging trade shows. And by moving from Paris Nord Villepinte to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the trade show is moving closer to the center of the capital. Comexposium believes that this new location will make it easier to attend the show and facilitate networking among industry professionals.
This change is also accompanied by an evolution of the trade show. The 2027 edition will give more prominence to equipment in operation by putting demonstrations back at the heart of the visitor experience. "Visitors will be able to explore solutions in real-world settings, understand the technologies in action, and gain a practical understanding of the innovations that are transforming production, processing, and packaging." Comexposium points out.
The upcoming trade show will also feature conferences and presentations by industry experts to foster discussion and debate on the future of packaging. Comexposium also intends to focus its efforts on attracting a targeted audience, particularly decision-makers, buyers, and influencers from French-speaking markets.
"The move to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the increased presence of machines in operation, and our collaboration with industry stakeholders will enable us to offer an edition in 2027 that is more accessible, even more vibrant, and more unifying. Our goal is clear: to continue making this event a highlight that showcases the solutions, expertise, and energy of a strategic industry undergoing rapid transformation." , says Chantal De Lamotte, director of Allforpack Emballage Paris, whose most recent edition drew more than 24,000 industry professionals and 850 exhibitors.
