Press Invite: The packaging of the future at Scanpack 2022
Welcome to Scanpack, northern Europe’s largest packaging event, which takes place 4–7 October at the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre in Gothenburg. Four years have passed since the last event, making this a much longed-for comeback with many exciting news and exhibitors from all over the world.
When Scanpack opens its doors on 4 October, more than 400 exhibitors will be standing ready to welcome every visitor. The event having been postponed a year due to the pandemic, this is a long-awaited reunion. Over the course of four days, 17,000 participants (2018) will be attending Scanpack to experience the future in production, packaging design, materials, and smart packaging, as well as to network and make connections with leading actors.
