Smart Packaging Meets “Golden July”: Dual Shows Converge on Qingdao Hongdao, July 17-21

2020-06-09

As the second-half buying and consumption peak arrives with “golden July”, how do businesses seize it? With exhibitions and forums restarting one after another, how should they choose between them? Whether the aim is winning more market share or opening new sales channels, sitting idle is not an option.

Below, “Jinnuo Xiaobao” walks you through the market signals:

The pandemic taught manufacturing a hard lesson: leaner headcount means lower costs and lower risk — yet someone still has to do the work. When frontline staff were quarantined, plants came close to a standstill, orders piled up with nobody to process them, and managers wished they could pull clerks, administrators and even security guards onto the line. Technical roles, however, cannot be filled by non-specialists. And even in ordinary times, throwing manpower at the problem is no longer smart: some sectors see heavy turnover, unstable teams and tough recruitment. Seen this way, a set of high-efficiency smart packaging equipment is the steadier bet — one machine can take over the workload of two or more operators. That is precisely the strength of tomorrow’s intelligent machinery: no complicated handling, just a few buttons to get the result you want.

However many shows you have walked, both market positioning and future direction point to displays of intelligent equipment. In an era of technological revolution, buyers are increasingly discerning and will gravitate to more efficient machinery, while premium equipment belongs on a premium platform. Good equipment is only worth its price at the right exhibition; at the wrong one, it looks undervalued even to interested buyers.

Take a look at this year’s authoritative supporting lineup: backed by the China Association for Science and Technology, the Korea Association of Machinery Industry (KOAMI) and the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), and hosted by the Machinery Industry Sub-Council of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade together with the Shandong Provincial Association for Science and Technology, the “APIE 2020 Asia-Pacific International Intelligent Equipment Expo” and the concurrent “CIPI 2020 Qingdao International Packaging Industry Exhibition” will run from July 17 to 21 at the Qingdao Hongdao International Conference & Exhibition Center — a date worth marking for industry professionals.

Put another way, let “Jinnuo Xiaobao” explain what July’s show is all about. The 2020 16th China (Qingdao) International Packaging Industry Exhibition (CIPI) brings smart packaging, production processing and supporting equipment together on one platform as a branded industry event. It tracks the latest developments and marketing models in food, pharmaceuticals and printing, aligns with the 2025 Made in China intelligent development strategy, adds fresh momentum to China’s market in the 5G era, and builds an efficient trade platform combining technical exchange, win-win cooperation and brand exposure.

Rooted in intelligent technology, the show presents processing and packaging machinery, materials and applications from multiple angles. Notably, smart packaging and raw materials will also get ample display space — a sign of the role packaging intelligence will play in building tomorrow’s smart cities.

For anyone tracking the cutting edge of smart technologies, including smart packaging, “CIPI 2020 Qingdao International Packaging Industry Exhibition” deserves a place on the agenda. Not only because of its high standing and strict entry rules (not every visitor gets in — attendance is limited to matching industry buyers), but also because the intelligent technologies on show are broad in scope, offering real inspiration for packaging and printing customers watching where frontier technology is heading.

One more highlight: throughout July 18, during the show, Yinsou Media will host the “2020 Bohai Rim Printing and Packaging Industry Chain Innovation Forum” (a sub-forum of the 2020 China-Japan-Korea Intelligent Manufacturing Technology and Equipment Conference) at the Qingdao Hongdao International Conference & Exhibition Center. This forum is equally high-caliber: Kan Lei, founder and CEO of Transformation Factory, will deliver a keynote on “A Prospect of the Development Trends of Automated Packaging Production Lines in the 5G Era”, joined by a line-up of experts speaking on fresh thinking for packaging in the epidemic-prevention era, smart packaging applications, digital applications in food packaging and printing, the coordinated development of packaging safety and food safety, how smart logistics shapes e-commerce, new packaging materials, integrated liquid packaging and production-storage, and how industrial intelligent inspection drives the printing industry forward.

Qingdao itself is well worth the trip. Beyond its scenery, it is a host city for major national conferences, the venue of the Olympic sailing regatta and the host of the SCO Summit. If its reach seems limited, that only means the market is not fully understood: Qingdao is one of the more open and vibrant coastal cities, long known for fresh thinking and a high degree of openness, and in recent years it has also benefited from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration and the relocation of the capital’s non-core functions. Each year, the Qingdao CIPI Packaging Exhibition draws 100,000 visits from more than 20 countries and regions worldwide.

July reshuffles the industry’s exhibition and forum calendar. It is a moment to look forward to and to seize. The Qingdao CIPI Packaging Exhibition is the top pick around the Bohai Rim, and the many forums and technical exchange sessions during the “2020 Qingdao CIPI International Packaging Industry Exhibition” are well worth watching.

The 2020 CIPI 16th China (Qingdao) International Packaging Industry Exhibition and the APIE Asia-Pacific International Intelligent Expo run as a linked pair, creating a one-stop platform for packaging industry information and sourcing that spans the full chain of packaging machinery, materials and packaging products. Global industry elites will gather for the annual packaging event. July 17-21, 2020, Qingdao Hongdao International Conference & Exhibition Center — one-stop exhibiting, one-stop sourcing. See you there.
