About the show

Ningbo Corrugated Color Box Printing & Packaging Industry Expo (NPPIE) is a specialist trade show for the packaging-printing industry, held in Ningbo, Zhejiang. It serves the corrugated carton, folding-carton and packaging-printing companies of the Yangtze River Delta, the manufacturing heartland on the delta’s southern wing, and brings together machinery and consumables makers, materials and technical-service suppliers and industry buyers from across China.

Its display spans the packaging-printing chain: corrugated board and carton production, folding-carton manufacture, pre-press and printing equipment, digital printing, post-press finishing and plastic-packaging machinery, together with the papers, inks, coatings and consumables behind them. Intelligent manufacturing, green and low-carbon production and digital integration recur as themes, and the show combines product display, technical exchange, new-product launches and buyer-supplier matchmaking for firms expanding across East China.
