The next edition of Luxe Pack New York, the luxury packaging trade exhibition in its 9th year, will be the largest event to date. The show will spotlight 128 companies, an additional 10 exhibitors compared to the previous year.
In order to assist visitors in locating the suppliers that specialize in their market, the organizers have created three specific tracks: the Beauty track, the Wine & Sprits track and the Fine Foods track. Exhibitors in each track will be identified on the floor map at the show.
“Luxe Pack New York is the event that helps brands and designers develop their creative packaging, with all the resources needed under one roof. The launch of the new specialized tracks will allow visitors to quickly identify the suppliers they need to see, while still enjoying the creativity and inspiration provided by those exhibitors in other tracks,” said Nathalie Grosdidier, Executive Director, Luxe Pack New York.
