Exhibition Introduction
The Exhibition Value of the China International Folding Carton Show
- The China International Folding Carton Exhibition (Sino Folding Carton) is the largest and most influential professional event in the global folding carton industry. Since its inception in 2006, it has been successfully held for more than twenty editions, focusing exclusively on post‑printing processing technologies for folding cartons. Widely recognized within the industry as a bellwether and the central hub for innovation in post‑printing technologies worldwide. Organized by Reed Exhibitions, the show serves as a core component of WEPACK, the World Packaging Industry Expo, co‑hosted alongside the Corrugated Board, Packaging Containers, Digital Printing, and other themed exhibitions, forming a super‑event that covers the entire packaging value chain.
- Its core value lies in its unparalleled ability to integrate the entire industry chain and its platform attributes that precisely connect with global buyer networks. Leveraging over 20 years of accumulated data on more than 200,000 qualified buyers, both domestic and international, the 2025 edition of the show will bring together over 1,500 globally renowned brands and attract 100,000 packaging industry professionals from more than 110 countries. In 2024, the exhibition invited over 6,000 overseas professional buyers and 3,000 regional agents, while engaging in in-depth collaborations with more than 50 overseas media outlets and associations.
- The exhibition establishes a one‑stop commercial platform covering the entire folding carton value chain. Exhibits span pre‑press equipment, printing machinery, post‑printing processing systems for folding cartons, rigid box manufacturing equipment, plastic (and adhesive) box processing units, food paper container production lines, bag‑making machines, paper and consumable supplies, software automation tools, testing instruments, and internal logistics transport systems—encompassing all product categories. Three dedicated thematic zones have been specially set up:Automation and Digital Factory Zonehelps enterprises boost end‑to‑end production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and optimize warehouse management;Eco‑Friendly Carbon‑Neutral Printing and Packaging Zoneassists companies in swiftly adapting to environmental policies and advancing green transformation initiatives;High‑Value‑Added Equipment Zoneshowcases cutting‑edge folding carton production processes, providing enterprises with fresh ideas for expanding into high‑margin business segments.
- The exhibition keeps pace with three major industry trends—intelligent manufacturing, green transformation, and brand globalization—building a technologically advanced platform deeply integrating industry, academia, research, and application. During the 2025 edition, three specialized brand‑expansion forums were held—“Winning in Vietnam: Chinese Packaging Enterprises Investing in Vietnam,” “From Domestic Trade to Global Market Breakthroughs: A Practical Forum,” and “Chinese Packaging Enterprises Going Global: Brand Building”—providing in-depth sharing around market insights, practical implementation, and resource‑matching strategies. Concurrently, key forums such as the “BRICS Paper Packaging Industry Development Overseas Summit” and the “Belt and Road Paper Packaging Industry Summit” convened global experts and scholars to discuss sustainable development and intelligent lean manufacturing.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway for opening up global markets, connecting with international resources, and showcasing innovative capabilities. Reed Exhibitions maintains a database of nearly 600,000 domestic and international carton manufacturers and has established strategic partnerships with industry associations across dozens of countries, including South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Europe, North America, and South America. In 2024, the exhibition made its debut in Malaysia, effectively meeting the demand of Southeast Asian packaging processors for high‑quality packaging equipment. By 2025, the show had attracted procurement delegations from over 110 countries, gathering in Shanghai to drive deeper cross‑border cooperation and full‑chain integration.
