We’re very pleased to announce that Pentawards Festival is back! This time we’re taking it on tour to Paris, thrilled to be joining forces with Paris Packaging Week in January 2025.
Made up of four exhibitions, the award-winning Paris Packaging Week focuses on packaging in beauty and personal care, premium drinks, aerosols and luxury products. The event aims to help thousands of brands create their next product launch by connecting them with the latest innovations, the world’s best suppliers and the latest expert insights on design, sustainability and innovation. Collaborating with the Pentawards Festival, this exciting pairing is a further stride towards becoming the ultimate destination to celebrate the best of packaging innovation and design around the world.
Free to attend, Pentawards Festival x Paris Packaging Week will explore insights and trends in the design and packaging industry, using our expertise as the leading network dedicated to recognising global packaging design excellence.
It will host three key inspiring elements, all carefully curated by Pentawards:
- a conference featuring the best in global design thinking;
- a gallery of the 100 best packaging designs from around the world in the past year;
- and a number of design agencies who will be exhibiting their work and services.
After a successful festival held at the Science Museum in London last year, the Pentawards team will be bringing the best of this to the already prestigious event, with not to be missed content, collaboration opportunities, expert talks and plenty of inspiration.
Adam Ryan, Head of Pentawards commented, " This collaboration marks an exciting milestone for both events, bringing together the brightest minds in the packaging industry to celebrate creativity and groundbreaking design. Together, we are poised to create a new vertical at Paris Packaging Week focusing on design, which will be a place for unparalleled content, networking and inspiration. I am very excited that in January next year, this will be a superb way to kick off our 2025 competition and in no better place than one of the world’s best design capitals at Paris Packaging Week ."
Echoing this, Josh Brooks, Event Director of Paris Packaging Week said: “ Pentawards is at the centre of a global community of designers and marketers who are obsessed with creating beautiful, original and impactful packaging design. “It is the perfect partner to create a really exciting new space at Paris Packaging Week – and to fulfil a demand at the show for a stronger focus on packaging design. Across the gallery, conference and design agency village, I know that the Pentawards team will create an inspiring and compelling experience. ”
Paris Packaging Week will take place on 28 & 29 January 2025 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, with Pentawards Festival running for the duration of the event.
