early three years
ago, 166,000 attendees descended upon
2,700 exhibitors from
60 nations in Düsseldorf, Germany, for interpack 2011, one of
the most successful events of the
show’s history, according to show
organizer Messe Düsseldorf, with
US headquarters in Chicago. In
2014, the packaging trade show
continues the components that
made 2011 so successful: Innovationparc Packaging and Metal
Packaging Plaza.

“The elaborately planned
and organized special themes
have now become a hallmark
of interpack and attracted
much acclaim,” said Bernd
Jablonowski, interpack director. “We shall therefore continue to do all we can to carefully prepare forward-looking
topics with our partners from
industry and present them visually and thematically to the
highest standards.”
Innovationparc Packaging
serves as a place where exhibitors can show off their packaging concepts of the future. In
2011, the theme was Quality of
Life and addressed consumer
behavior. In 2014, this special

arena of interpack will turn to
the Save Food initiative, a cooperation between the United
Nations’ Food and Agriculture
Organization and Messe Düsseldorf that is dedicated to addressing the problem of global
food loss. At interpack 2014’s Innovationparc Packaging, packaging designers and the industry
will present ideas and solutions
to help reduce food loss.
In the coming year, Metal
Packaging Plaza will continue
to provide a meeting place specifically for the international
metal packaging marketplace.
With 40 companies exhibiting
in the plaza in 2011, show organizers said companies that
did not exhibit in the plaza
have already shown interest in
moving in for 2014.
Next year’s interpack takes
place May 8-14, in Düsseldorf, Germany. One addition

is Components for Processing and Packaging, a trade
show within a trade show.
For the first three days of interpack 2014, Components
for Processing and Packaging
co-locates with interpack and
provides packaging equipment
suppliers an opportunity to exhibit their wares.
Beyond what’s new, bakers can continue to find solutions to their packaging needs
whether it’s packaging materials, means or production
machinery. This is the baking
industry’s opportunity to network with the international
packaging world.
