interpack 2029 Düsseldorf: Packaging Fair & Attendee List
By Ilyas Kerbal,
interpack is the world’s leading trade fair for packaging and processing. It runs every three years at Messe Düsseldorf, and after a record 2026 edition with 2,800 exhibitors from 64 countries, the next one takes place from 10 to 15 June 2029. Previous editions drew around 140,000 visitors.
The show is built for capital investment. Large machinery makers run complete production lines on their stands, and food, pharma and FMCG companies come to plan new lines.

The interpack app
