en.Wedoany.com Reported - The second edition of the World Expo of Packaging Industry-Southeast Asia, organized by RX (Reed Exhibitions), is scheduled to take place from August 27 to 29, 2026, at the Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO) in Indonesia. The event will concurrently host the Paper Chain Expo, Pack Plus, and Bakery ASEAN, with a total exhibition area exceeding 22,000 square meters. The goal is to establish a trade platform that spans the entire packaging industry chain—covering raw material supply, equipment manufacturing, processing, and final applications.
As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has become a key manufacturing and investment hub in the region. The organizer noted that growth in e-commerce, food delivery, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries is driving demand for paper packaging, eco-friendly packaging, and smart packaging solutions. Indonesia's market size, combined with its role as a gateway to ASEAN, allows it to reach a regional market of over 600 million people.
The second edition will focus on the Indonesian local market and aim to promote industrial collaboration between China and ASEAN countries. The expo has already partnered with the Indonesian Corrugated Cardboard Association (Asosiasi Kotak Karton Gelombang Indonesia, AKKGI) and packaging, paper, and printing industry associations from multiple countries. AKKGI plans to organize its member companies to participate and will hold its 2026 annual meeting and dinner during the expo. According to the organizer, this event is expected to provide attendees with opportunities for face-to-face interactions with approximately 500 industry representatives and buyers.
The actual exhibition area for the 2026 expo will exceed 22,000 square meters. Through integration with the Paper Chain Expo and Pack Plus, the expo will highlight paper raw materials and chemical additives, packaging and printing equipment, eco-friendly materials, smart manufacturing solutions, and various end-use application products.
The expo has planned a series of business matching activities, including targeted buyer invitations, one-on-one meetings, and a Targeted Attendee Program (TAP), aimed at establishing direct connections among regional procurement decision-makers, brand owners, and distributors. It is expected that the expo will attract over 25,000 buyers from Southeast Asia and other global markets.
Multiple industry forums and themed conferences will be held concurrently, covering topics such as: sustainable development and digital transformation of the packaging industry in Southeast Asia, green manufacturing and sustainable packaging, halal food packaging standardization and green supply chain collaboration, smart packaging and digital factories, packaging solutions for food delivery and ready-to-eat meals, innovative materials and molding technologies, and industrial application progress of pulp molding and food paper containers.
