The 3rd edition of PACK.Nxt, a dedicated event on smart and sustainable packaging, will be held on 16 December 2025 at The Lalit, Mumbai. The event will bring together more than 350 industry leaders, 60 speakers, and 25 partners for a day focused on discussions, networking, and innovation.
Since its launch, PACK.Nxt has become a recognised platform for the packaging industry, drawing participation from brand owners, converters, suppliers, policymakers, and recyclers. Continuing its focus on thought leadership and collaboration, the 2025 edition will explore how packaging innovation can contribute to the circular economy.
This year’s conference will feature two parallel tracks – one centred on sustainability and materials, and the other on smart packaging and policy. Sustainability will remain a key theme, with sessions addressing renewable materials, carbon reduction, and circular design strategies.
Authentication and transparency will also be in focus, highlighting developments in labelling, Track & Trace, and anti-counterfeiting technologies that help build consumer trust across sectors such as food, FMCG, and pharma.
The event will also host the PACK.Nxt 2025 Packaging Awards, which will recognise outstanding work in areas such as sustainability, functionality, innovation, and design. Entries will be evaluated by a panel of industry experts, and the awards aim to set benchmarks for excellence within the packaging sector.
