Nothing beats the real-live hands on experience of being able to pick up a package, touch it feel it examine its material and construction. However, the editors of PackWebasia.com do understand that Tokyo is an expensive long distance flight and may be beyond the current quarter’s travel budget. That’s why we have come up with a customised Business Value Proposition.

Tokyo Pack Eyes & Ears Project

Save hours of travel time and thousands of dollars budget. Our Editorial Team will on the ground in Tokyo, working in support of you and your team before, during, and after the 5-days of Tokyo Pack to identify every new, innovative and sustainable packaging format, process, material and market-ready concept on show.

Depth and interpretation. The Tokyo Pack'08 Eyes & Ears Project will target the most relevant technological innovations on offer at Tokyo Pack '08 – rather than simply report on what’s obvious.
