Umang Gupta, Country General Manager, RX India, noted that the show will address key industry priorities such as sustainability, cost-efficiency, and digitisation. "Our aim is to help industry players adopt future-ready solutions, build new buyer networks, and adapt to evolving consumer and regulatory demands," he said.

The International Packaging Conclave will run alongside the exhibition, featuring high-level panels on themes such as smart packaging, Industry 4.0, AI in printing, and sustainability in packaging. Panellists from AMWAY, Colgate Palmolive, Mondelez, and government bodies will lead discussions on recyclability, returnable packaging, and tackling greenwashing.

Supported by leading industry associations and visited by key buyers from brands like Zomato, Haldiram’s, Patanjali, and Varun Beverages, PackPlus 2025 is poised to drive dialogue and innovation across India's growing packaging ecosystem.
