The latest trends in brand packaging were showcased in the expo dubbed Pack Print Plas Philippines, held from 10 to 12 October at the SMX Convention Center Manila.

Pack Print Plus is the only trade show in the country that gathers the interrelated industries of packaging, plastics, printing and office supplies in one venue. For the past 27 years it has provided a single platform where producers, suppliers and consumers have convenient access to technology, product development, industry research and production solutions to benefit both international and domestic markets.

This year, the show was even a bigger one with the partnership between trade organizers Global-Link MP and Messe Düsseldorf Asia, providing their expertise in bringing in more foreign exhibitors and trade buyers to the show floor.

Among the seminars that were held during the expo was EHS 2019: Environment, Health and Safety Seminar, presented by Gretchen Fontejo Enarle, president of Samahan sa Pilipinas ng mga Industriyang Kimika and sustainability leader of Atlantic Coatings; Parag Bagade, head of Sustainability and Advantage Services for South Asia Pacific and sub-Saharan Africa of Avery Dennison; and Commissioner Crispian Lao, vice chairman of the National Solid Waste Management Commission.

With the printing industry producing a lot of waste, many small- and medium-sized printing companies have minimal knowledge on the proper means of handling chemical wastes. This meeting aimed to educate them in managing proper waste disposal.
