Yoichi Sonoyama, secretary general of the Tokyo Pack 2012 Secretariat, says, “Tokyo Pack 2012 has successfully completed the four-day exhibition on October 5th. I, as secretary general, would like to give my sincerest appreciation to all the people who visited Tokyo Pack 2012 from all over the world.

“Tokyo Pack is the largest exhibition in Asia with group participation from China, Korea and Taiwan, and attracts attention as an Asian-regionally specific exhibition where you can learn the latest trends of packaging in Asia.”

The exhibition owner and organizer, Japan Packaging Institute, is already planning for the 25th edition of the show: “The next Tokyo Pack will be held in 2014, from October 7th Tuesday to 10th Friday. For the next Tokyo Pack 2014, we are going to expand its scale,” says Sonoyama.

“We welcome your visit and exhibit to Tokyo Pack 2014 to grasp an opportunity to get updated on packaging trends in Asia and also to gain a foothold in the Asian market.

“We look forward to welcoming you all at Tokyo Pack 2014.”
