[August 4-5] Call for Exhibitors for "Package Exhibition 2026," an Event to Turn Packaging Challenges into Opportunities

Osaka City / Osaka Sangyo Sozokan / Creative Network Center Osaka Mebic (Osaka Business Development Agency) has started recruiting exhibitors for the "Package Exhibition 2026" trade show, to be held on August 4 (Tuesday) and 5 (Wednesday), 2026, with the cooperation of Osaka Design Promotion Plaza (ODP) [Osaka City / ATC].

This exhibition aims to solve challenges in consumer goods packaging, connecting companies with strengths in packaging production, such as materials, technology, and design, with companies seeking to improve product value and expand sales channels.

Turning SME Packaging Challenges into Opportunities for Sales Channel Development

In recent years, with the expansion of the e-commerce market and intensifying competition in stores, the impact of a product's "appearance" on purchasing behavior has been increasing. Among these, packaging is attracting attention as a crucial element that directly conveys brand value and worldview to consumers, in addition to its functionality.

Displaying and presenting products appropriately to encourage proper selection is also an important factor in gaining consumer trust. In fact, it is not uncommon for a single packaging innovation to lead to increased sales and expanded sales channels.

On the other hand, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups face challenges such as a lack of knowledge regarding packaging development, optimizing design and material selection, and designing specifications according to sales channels.

This exhibition will support the resolution of these challenges and promote the improvement of product added value and sales channel development by creating matching and business negotiation opportunities with excellent packaging-related companies.
