The Exhibition Value of the Hong Kong Printing & Packaging Fair
- The Hong Kong Printing & Packaging Fair (HKPP) is one of Asia’s most influential specialized events for the printing and packaging industries. Since its inception in 2006, it has successfully held twenty editions and has been accredited by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), earning widespread recognition as a leading industry benchmark and a strategic gateway for Chinese enterprises seeking to expand into international markets. Co-organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and China-Hong Kong International Exhibition Co., Ltd., the fair takes place annually in April at the AsiaWorld–Expo in Hong Kong, creating a powerful synergy with concurrent exhibitions such as the Gift Show and the Licensing Show.
- The core value of participating lies in its unique platform design—centered on service providers—and its robust channel advantages for precisely connecting with global buyers. Unlike traditional equipment-focused trade shows, exhibitors at the Hong Kong Printing & Packaging Fair comprise printing service providers and packaging solution suppliers, while buyers are end-users across manufacturing, retail, food, jewelry and watchmaking, cosmetics, consumer electronics, and other sectors that require printing and packaging services. The 2025 edition will bring together nearly 500 exhibiting companies and attract 12,270 professional buyers from 110 countries and regions, including significant contingents from Mainland China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and ASEAN markets.
- The fair establishes a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire printing and packaging value chain. Exhibits span nine thematic zones, including printing services, packaging services, digital printing and 3D printing, e‑commerce packaging solutions, green printing and packaging, food and beverage packaging, retail displays and advertising signage, printing consumables and packaging materials, as well as printing and packaging machinery and systems. A specially designated “Luxury Packaging World” zone showcases high-end packaging solutions for jewelry, watches, cosmetics, premium spirits, and other luxury products, addressing the personalized needs of the global luxury market.
- The fair aligns with three major industry trends—green packaging, e‑commerce logistics, and digital transformation—fostering a cutting-edge hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. The green printing and packaging zone continues to expand, featuring nearly one hundred eco-friendly solution providers, including Xiamen Jihong, Shanghai Jielong, Baosong Paper, Ningbo Yisen, and others. Meanwhile, the e‑commerce packaging zone focuses on air‑cushion bags, courier bags, functional packaging, cold-chain packaging, and other complementary products tailored to cross-border e‑commerce, meeting the dual demands of transport protection and brand visibility in the digital age. The fair adopts an integrated “Exhibition+” online‑offline model, leveraging the “BusinessMatch” smart matchmaking platform to deliver end-to-end commercial services—from pre‑event scheduling and in‑event negotiations to post‑event follow‑up.
- For Chinese enterprises, this fair serves as a strategic gateway for entering international markets, connecting with global resources, and showcasing innovative capabilities. The 2025 edition attracted group participations from local industrial clusters, including the Xiamen delegation, the Longgang delegation from Zhejiang, the Cangnan delegation, and the Liaoning delegation. Notably, the Xiamen delegation presented under the unified “Brand Xiamen” umbrella, with leading companies such as Jihong Shares and Yaoming Webbing making prominent appearances; the Longgang delegation showcased a cohesive “China Printing City” brand image, while Zhejiang Jiasheng Printing has participated continuously for 19 years. Exhibiting companies can leverage this platform to access global procurement networks and seize early opportunities in the green, digital, and global transformation of the printing and packaging industry.
