Paris Packaging Week

Paris Packaging Week is where packaging design gets taken seriously. It’s a two-day event that brings together the entire ecosystem—designers, global brands, packaging suppliers, material innovators, and everyone in between. It’s not just rows of booths and promo samples. This is where you go to see what’s next in beauty, luxury, and sustainable packaging, and actually talk to the people building it.

The event is split across four main tracks covering everything from aerosols and cosmetics to luxury drinks and premium goods. If you’re in branding, product design, or packaging development, the sheer range of materials, formats, and finish options is worth the trip alone. You’ll see prototypes, launches, and new suppliers you haven’t heard of yet, all in one place. And if you’re concepting a new system or rethinking a packaging brief, it’s basically one giant reference library in real life.

It’s big, it’s busy, and it leans industry-heavy. But if you work in packaging or touch it even indirectly, Paris Packaging Week gives you a fast, global snapshot of what’s happening now and what’s coming next. It’s not for everyone—but for design teams building tactile, on-shelf experiences, this one’s worth looking into.
