Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London 2021 has moved dates from the planned 22/23 September to 1/2 December 2021.
Organiser Easyfairs noted the relaxation of Covid-related restrictions that have enabled national events to resume, but stated that due to the high number of international visitors it hopes to attract to the London event, border control and quarantine requirements made it ‘significantly more difficult’ to hold it in September. It is expected that continuing progress with vaccination programmes will allow normal travel by then.
Renan Joel, divisional director for Easyfairs UK & Global’s packaging events, said, ‘We are delighted that Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London will return in 2021 and we can’t wait to bring the industry back together again at this vibrant event, even if it will be a few weeks later than we originally planned.
‘The event plays a crucial role in driving new innovations, connections and opportunities for the community it serves. The new dates will ensure that Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London fulfils that mission in 2021 and inspires a new generation of packaging innovations for 2022.’
Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London connects packaging suppliers with designers, packaging technologists and marketers at brand owners, with a focus on the food, drinks, FMCG and beauty markets.
