The two-day event at the Sepakat room of the International Convention Centre, held to share knowledge on packaging and branding, is open to 100 participants, specifically MSMEs with packaged products, local packaging suppliers and government agencies.
The Japan Food Packaging Association (JFPA) will be giving an overview of processing to packaging in Japan’s food industry, while the Japan Packaging Institute (JPI) will deliberate on the latest packaging technology, design trends, best practices and what it takes to package a product for the international market.
