Double the benefit: International trade show meets industrial implementation – live at Paris Packaging Week and at Hinterkopf in Eislingen

The combination of Paris Packaging Week 2026 and the PrintDays by Hinterkopf offers a unique opportunity to experience current packaging industry trends, decoration innovations, and Variable Data Printing (VDP) in context – from strategic inspiration at an international exhibition to technical realization in a real, industrial production environment.

Paris Packaging Week – the global industry gathering

The Paris Packaging Week, taking place from 5–6 February 2026, is one of Europe’s leading international platforms for premium, luxury, and FMCG packaging. It brings together four specialized events under one roof:

• ADF (Aerosol & Dispensing Forum) – focus on aerosol and dispensing technologies
• PCD (Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics & Design) – central platform for luxury and cosmetics packaging
• PLD (Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks) – premium beverage packaging
• Packaging Première – luxury and high-end design solutions

 

Hinterkopf will be exhibiting at ADF Stand T70 & PCD Stand M50, presenting technology expertise made by Hinterkopf.
