From meaningful conversations and industry insights to new friendships and friendly faces, this exhibition was very fulfilling. It reinforced our belief that the future of packaging still is indeed all about innovation, sustainability, strong global partnerships and worldwide influence.
As one of the world’s most influential exhibitions for food, bakery, confectionery, coffee, and related industries, SIGEP brings together professionals from Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.This is a unique opportunity and global platform for the all food and packaging industry.
At SIGEP 2026, we encountered different friends from all over the world in various industries,such as passionate food and snack brands owners,bakery and confectionery manufacturers,importers,packaging specialists and material innovators, etc.
This diverse global presence made SIGEP not only a products show, but also a hub of ideas, trends, and future-oriented discussions.We obtained a lot from this exhibition and will improve our mind,broaden our vision.
Through hundreds of conversations and on-site wonderful discussions for couple days, some characteristics stood out in trend clearly which the consumers are seeking for:
Rising Demand for Sustainable Packaging
In recent times, more and more brands are moving toward environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging solutions.
PACKMIC can make various laminated pouches including sustainable eco-friendly packaging, compostable packaging bags and recycle bags. Some recycle solutions are more cost-effective compared to traditional laminates versions, with other types of packaging being more effective at preserving goods for transport and display.Along with keeping required long shelf life and security, it is using forward-thinking innovation to secure perishables and maintain food and non-food product integrity. By making the transition to a single type of plastic (mono-material packaging structure), the ecological impact of the pouches or film is significantly diminished, and it is also easy to recycle with soft plastic recycling facilities.
Compared this to the conventional packaging equivalent (which cannot even be recycled as it has multiple layers of different types of plastic), and you have a sustainable solution already available on the market in market for your “green eco-consumer”. Now we are ready.
The amount of overall plastic waste is reduced by removing the standard Nylon, Foil, Metalized and PET layers. Instead, our pouches can use a revolutionary single-layer construction so that consumers can simply pop pouches into their household soft plastic recycling container.
By using a single material layer only, the pouch can be easily sorted and then recycled without the risk of any pathway contamination.
Higher Standards for Packaging Performance
Food safety, barrier characteristics, shelf-life extension, and high-quality consistent packaging consistency are no longer optional—they are essential.
In PACKMIC,we focus on multiple raw materials to achieve different packaging performance ,now we can achieve different of surface looks(matte,glossy,particle matte finish) and touch feelings(soft touch,velvet,frosted).It can help our clients present the products through packaging stand out in the crowed in different way.
Our supplier partners not only provide us with high-quality base materials but also work closely with our R&D team to develop new formulations of materials that meet emerging market demands, such as enhanced durability for eco-friendly packaging or improved tactile quality in luxury materials.
Customization and Brand Differentiation
Packaging is increasingly to be a strategic branding tool, not just a protective layer.Now the market competition is fierce and consumers today are more discerning than ever.If you need to catch the eyeballs and draw the attention of the consumers,you need to work hard on designs and packages.Recently,global consumers reporting that consumers are more willing to purchase products packed in different way,such us eco-friendly packaging，better touching feeling，strong visual impact.
Not only is this a protective layer, but this can also lead to a sense of social media sharing and propaganda, as consumers wish to attract these unique designs online.By linking this packaging customization with a sense of brand values, companies can build deeper emotional connections with consumers in a highly competitive marketplace.
Meaningful Conversations That Truly Matter
One of the most valuable aspects of SIGEP 2026 was the opportunity for face-to-face communication.
At our booth, discussions went far beyond basic product introductions. We talked in depth，learn about the requirements of the clients and resolve their concerns on the spot.
These professional exchanges helped us better understand the evolving needs of global customers—and different food products require different packaging solutions. This exhibition enabled us to present concrete experience-based solutions, laying foundations for develop latent cooperation.
SIGEP 2026 was not only about business—it was also about people.
We enjoyed re-establishing ties with long-term partners and meet many new faces for the first time. Whether it was a in-depth technical discussion or just a chat, every encounter further fostered mutual trust and mutual understanding with other people.
These personal connections remind us that successful packaging partnerships are built on communication, reliability, kindness,and shared values.
As a professional manufacturer specializing in flexible food packaging, innovation is at the heart of everything we do.
Our goal is to help packaging become a powerful extension of the brand, enhancing shelf impact and consumer experience.
If you are seeking a partner that appreciates performance and sustainability, then we’d be pleased to get in touch with you for future possibilities.
Let us work hand-in-hand to create a package that works for brands, consumers, and the environment.
Your packaging bag always deserves better.
