With a footfall of 7523 unique visitors, PackPlus South’17 has been effective in catering solutions to packaging, printing and supply chain segments.

The organiser of the show, Neeta Arora, director at Print-Packaging.com, said, “PackPlus South received an overwhelming response in Bengaluru. It was a result of the extensive marketing and promotions held across South India to bring in the prospective visitors. The exhibitors are highly positive about converting the leads generated at the show. PackPlus South being a biannual expedition, the next show will be held at Hitex, Hyderabad from 9 to 12 March 2018.”

Ashwini Shriyan of AGS, said, “Packaging is the most critical part of cosmetics and that’s was my objective to visit the show. It has to be attractive, user-friendly and unique. I got a lot of leads which I could use in my other processes of business as well. As a brand manager, I got a look into various aspects on how I could promote the brand.”
