Paris Packaging Week celebrates its 25th anniversary since the unforgettable creation of PCD in 2001, with its upcoming new edition on February 5th and 6th, 2026. Around 900 exhibitors, including Aptar, Heinz, Gainerie Moderne, and Kurz, have booked Hall 1 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles for those dates. Building on the success of 2025, which saw a 27% increase in visitors, the event promises a lively, ‘festive and creative’ 2026 edition.
Over 900 exhibitors are expected at Paris Packaging Week 2026 (PCD, PLD, Packaging Premiere, and ADF). The exhibitors are ready to participate in the largest packaging event catering to the beauty, luxury, premium drinks, and aerosol markets. The theme of the ICONIC spirit at the event’s 25th anniversary is expressed as ‘Innovation, Creativity, Outstanding, Network, Inclusion, Celebration.’
The major highlights of this innovative week are the Royal New Innovation Awards Gala Party at the Pavillon Vendome and the return of the Pentawards Festival, shining bright the night before the show curtains open. By bringing all areas of the event to one single platform of innovation for a prestigious single celebration, the Gala Party will introduce the event and crown the winners in a networking, festive-focused environment.
The 2026 edition features new sectors committed to sustainable innovation, such as the Refill and Reuse Zone, which highlights groundbreaking solutions in reusable and refillable packaging.
Co-Director of Paris Packaging Week, Josh Brooks, said, “This 25th edition is close to us and holds a precious resonance starting with PCD in 2001 that aimed at the beauty market, and after that, Paris Packaging Week has been continuously celebrated, with diversification and growth alongside the industry. Our dedication for 2026 is to serve a truly valuable ICONIC experience that is linked, forward-looking, and inspiring, cheering the creativity, talent shaping, and innovation that represents the packaging of tomorrow.”
At this Paris Packaging Week, Innovation ramped up on the centre stage with 155 new exhibitors at the festival, including MCC France Quest, Thepenier Pharma & Cosmetic, and Carre d Ebene and Drago, which bring a new shine and color to creativity, bold projects, and new approaches to the event. The Refill and Reuse Zone was a major attraction to this edition among the various show’s latest offerings.
