WEPACK 2022 is going to launch a 8-IN-1 Mega show in Shenzhen next April, which covers the entire packaging industry chain. It is going to gather 1,500 leading suppliers to exhibit new technology and solutions.

In July 2021, 7-IN-1 Sino Mega Expo including Hybrid SinoCorrugated 2021 and Hybrid SinoFoldingCarton 2021, the first and biggest international trade show that host a mix of in-person, live and virtual event at the same time, was successfully concluded in Shanghai. The annual industry event gathered 1,000+ exhibitors and 90,000+ visitors as well as around 12, 000 online audiences from all over the world.

In the post-epidemic era, the market demand for corrugated board packaging has not decreased but however increased. Expert analysis in the Smithers report “The Future of Global Corrugated Board Packaging to 2025” forecasts that global corrugated board will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% across 2020-2025 to reach $205.7 billion. The volume of board consumed worldwide will increase at a slightly slower rate to reach 193.2 million tonnes in 2025.

Given the rising raw materials & labor costs and successive environmental policies (such as bans on free plastic grocery bags, bans on imported waste and carbon neutrality）, the packaging industry is stepping up its pace towards structural adjustment, upgrading and deep integration. The entire industry now is in a critical period and is urgently seeking for change.

As a bellwether of the global packaging industry, Sino mega show, having been embracing innovation and transformation, launches WEPACK to move forward to the next step. 

It will be a mega show covering the entire packaging industry chain, including SinoCorrugated South 2022, SinoFoldingCarton 2022, SinoFlexPack South 2022, DPrint 2022, SinoPaper South 2022, InMAT 2022, PackCon 2022 and the newly launched. 

We hope that WEPACK will play a synergistic effect to provide enterprises with a high-end trade platform for exchanges and in-depth cooperation, and provide integrated packaging solutions for buyers.

Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center

Since the first edition of SinoCorrugated in 2001, RX China has been committed to establishing a high-quality platform for communication, exchange, cooperation and trade to facilitate further development of China’s, and even the world’s packaging industry. Based on the past experience, WEPACK has been carefully planned in terms of time, location and exhibition hall layout, and strives to bring exhibitors and visitors a better experience.

WEPACK will be held at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center on April 7-9, 2022, with an exhibition area of 160,000 square meters.

# April, a procurement season for the packaging industry
In April, procurement managers will attend trade shows and make overall plans for the current year and even the next year. More high-quality visitors will be gathered.

# Shenzhen, center of the global packaging industry chain
As a core city of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen boasts a highly advantageous geographical location, and enjoys more privileged policies both economically and politically. According to statistics, there are more than 10,000 printing and packaging enterprises in the Greater Bay Area, and nearly 600 enterprises which rank among the best in China. In addition, Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, the world-class super convention and exhibition complex, will definitely provide a better exhibiting and visiting experience.
