Why Hong Kong?
International buyers already know that Hong Kong, as well as being a superb destination for fair participants, is one of the major printing centres in the world, enjoying freedom of the press and a free flow of information. It also supplies Packaging materials to manufacturers of consumer goods, in particular players in the Chinese mainland, which took up 64.8 per cent of the total exports of such materials in 2012.
Hong Kong is also a magnet for buyers in April as major fairs in both Hong Kong and the neighbouring Guangdong Province are vital sourcing points. The world's largest gift fair, HKTDC Hong Kong G ifts & Premium Fair 2014, is actually held concurrently with the Hong Kong International Printing & Packaging Fair, making a powerfully attractive package for buyers from overseas.

Trend highlights
Certain industry sectors are growing fast and the fair gives exhibitors in these sectors the chance to shine in designated zones.
De Luxe Zone caters to the ever-expanding premium and luxury goods market and in 2014 the product variety is even wider. These include high-end Packaging materials such as PU leather, textiles, crystal and more; fancy and special papers; non-paper Packaging products such as tin boxes, wooden boxes, plastic bottles and more; as well as Packaging boxes with unique, non-traditional designs.
NEW Green Printing & Packaging Solutions Zone is a new zone created in response to a strong buyer interest in green printing and Packaging solutions. This is a place to show eco-credentials to international buyers, who are increasingly concerned with sustainability and are looking for suppliers offering eco-friendly products and solutions, such as recycled paper and eco-friendly ink, as well as Packaging materials from sustainable sources such as bioplastics and synthetic paper. Lightweight Packaging which is easier to recycle or recover is also in demand.
Green Printing & Packaging Solutions Zone exhibitors will be featured exclusively in the Green Printing & Packaging Solutions Display Area, while exhibitors with certain green features will continue to have a “Green Solutions Suppliers” label for identification.
