This week’s episode of Packaging Today keeps us grounded (literally) in the U.K. as we preview London Packaging Week, which kicks off this Wednesday at ExCeL London, and we break down what that means for brands, innovators, and designers heading into Q4.
You’ll hear from Adam, Evelio, and Cory:
What to expect at London Packaging Week — from 190+ exhibitors to luxury/beauty/deli packaging innovation zones.
Trends likely to dominate the show: sustainability, regulation, inclusivity, and materials.
What’s already breaking in packaging news on October 13:
• Coveris & SABIC launching a closed-loop recycling system for medical packaging.
• Cascades selling off its flexible packaging plant in Mississauga to streamline focus.
• A lighter, more sustainable banana box by Mondi that cuts weight and uses more recycled fiber.
• Luxury packaging shakeups as UAE’s Multiply Group acquires a majority stake in Italy’s Isem Packaging.
We’ll unpack what these moves mean for material trends, supply chain shifts, and where packaging design will thrive—or get squeezed in the next 6–12 months.
