The 2012 edition of Luxe Pack New York, the luxury packaging trade exhibition, will mark the 10th anniversary of this event. Approximately 140 exhibitors showcasing packaging for all luxury sectors - cosmetics/fragrance, personal care, food, wine and spirits, fashion/accessories, jewelry/watches and more - are expected to participate.

The event will be held on May 16 and 17, at The Altman Building and Metropolitan Pavilion (125-135 West 18th Street between 6th & 7th Avenues).

We are thrilled to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Luxe Pack New York this year,” said Nathalie Grosdidier, Executive Director, Luxe Pack New York. “Each year, the event has grown significantly in three key areas. First, we continue to spotlight more high quality exhibitors with an array of expertise and innovations. Second, we have developed the content of Luxe Pack to feature the best top-level seminars. And third, as a result, more and more brands and designers visit each year, making Luxe Pack New York really the creative packaging event for the American luxury industry. No other show is like it.

Luxe Pack will be presenting nine targeted seminars this year, including: “Processes and Tools for Packaging R&D leaders”, “Spring/Summer 2013 Megatrends: Packaging”, “The Crossroads of Research and Packaging Design: How the two combine for products with the greatest promise”, “Neuro-Insight and the Science Behind the Most Powerful Packaging in the World”.

The event will also features special exhibits, including: the Innovation Forum, showcasing the newest creations from exhibitors, the Material ConneXion Lab, which will enable visitors to explore innovations in materials.
