Trade Show Details
Event Overview
interpack China covers the point where a product enters an industrial processing and packaging line: machinery, materials, containers, coding, inspection and automation for food, beverages, bakery, confectionery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, non-food goods and industrial products. Its multi-sector structure is useful for comparing complete line concepts and material-machine compatibility, rather than viewing packaging only as graphic design or finished boxes.
The 2026 edition is the first under the interpack China name after SWOP marked its tenth anniversary in 2025. That completed 2025 edition recorded 43,090 trade visitors from 122 countries and regions.
