Returning to ExCeL London this October, London Packaging Week is on course for a record-breaking year, as 5,000+ brand leaders, suppliers, and designers converge for its landmark 15th edition
London Packaging Week 2025 is shaping up to be the must-attend event in the global packaging calendar this Autumn, with organisers reporting unprecedented demand for complimentary visitor passes ahead of its eagerly anticipated return between 15-16 October.
Celebrating its 15th anniversary, this landmark edition promises to be the most exciting yet, attracting professionals from luxury, beauty, drinks, and FMCG sectors. Leading brands like Harrods, Hennessy, Burberry, Innocent, Jo Malone, LUSH, Fortnum & Mason, The Macallan, Mondelez, Sainsbury’s, and The Glenlivet are sending sizable teams to this premier packaging showcase.
Rooted in London’s reputation as a global design and innovation hub, the event features 190+ exhibitors – half UK-based – and a 92% British visitor base. It’s where creativity meets practicality, bringing together designers, brand teams, and suppliers to source materials, explore new formats, and tackle packaging challenges.
Supported by key industry bodies such as Pack UK, Walpole, The Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) and the British Beauty Council, and strengthened by partnerships with Pentawards and the Museum of Brands, the event drives innovation, education, and meaningful debate. Whether through inspiring talks or immersive networking moments, London Packaging Week delivers a sense of belonging and a festival atmosphere that fuels the future of packaging.
“We’ve never seen momentum like this,” said Josh Brooks, Divisional Director, Packaging at Easyfairs. “Within days of registration going live, we saw a significant spike in pass requests from brand owners, procurement managers, designers, and packaging technologists across the UK and beyond. It confirms what we already knew – that the packaging community sees London Packaging Week not just as a trade show, but as the beating heart of industry innovation and connection.”
The 2025 programme features 70+ speakers across three live stages, tackling the most urgent topics facing the industry today. These include sustainability and the circular economy, smart packaging, regulatory change and compliance, AI and automation, design innovation, branding, and consumer behaviour. With notable speaker Kevin Marshall of Microsoft, and senior packaging leaders from Nestlé, M&S, Reckitt, Bentley Motors, Boots, Tesco, Unilever, and Pladis.
Innovation remains central to the event, with the return of the Innovation Awards spotlighting groundbreaking designs and technologies.
The show will also present the Best of British Design Gallery, curated with Pentawards, showcasing 50 standout UK packs, alongside an exclusive archive from the Museum of Brands that brings packaging’s past to life. The Supplier Gallery highlights the top sustainable innovations, while the new PackUK DEFRA Clinic offers one-on-one consultations on compliance.
Exhibitors include world-class packaging specialists, including Eurostampa, Croxons, All4Labels, Sun Branding, AllPack, EP Group, GMUND, Favini, Kurz, Holmen, DAPY, and Fedrigoni. Confirmed attending brands include teams from Selfridges & Co, Charlotte Tilbury, William Grant & Sons, No7 Beauty Company, The White Company, Cartier, and COTY.
“This isn’t just another event – it’s a statement,” added Brooks. “It’s where business gets done, ideas are born, and the future of packaging is written.”
