The third edition of Packaging Première was a huge success!
Milan, 3 June 2019 – Packaging Première, the selective show dedicated to luxury packaging that took place from 28 to 30 May in Pavilion 4 at Fieramilanocity, has closed the doors on its third edition with 6700 individual visitors, a figure that is 40% up on last year, demonstrating how packaging has a decisive part to play in every sector, particularly the cosmetics and perfume, fine food, wine and alcoholic beverage sectors.
“We are very happy with the results achieved by the third edition of the show. The featured brands, all of which had been selected with great care, helped to create a truly stylish atmosphere, confirming Packaging Première’s role as a unique event and a reference point in the sector,” states Pier Paolo Ponchia, the organiser of Packaging Première.

One of the most eagerly awaited events was the conference held by Smithers Pira, a world authority in the packaging sector, who discussed some important ideas on the current situation and the future evolution of luxury packaging in Europe.
