There is therefore no edition in November 2026.

Policy & CSR initiatives

The trade fair features a dedicated "Our CSR commitments" page on its official website. Ecological transformation and circularity remain a central theme for 2027: the Régénérer category of the Innovations Awards and the Re-Génération space. Several initiatives structure this CSR line:

• ALL4PACK CIRCULARITY highlighted in 2024 bio-based alternatives, mono-materials, compostable and reusable packaging, as well as start-ups committed to circularity.
• Re-Génération (2027) addresses sober use, circularity, traceability, reuse and responsible logistics.
• The Régénérer category of the 2027 Innovations Awards rewards reducing the environmental impact of packaging (reduction, reuse, recycling, recycled content).

Comexposium, the organiser, is also a major player in the French events industry and applies, across all its trade fairs, the ISO 20121 and Net Zero Carbon Events sector approaches promoted by the UFI member organisers. A formal commitment specific to the ALLFORPACK trade fair (ISO 20121 certification, Net Zero pledge) has not been explicitly published as at the date of this page.

How the trade fair has evolved

Trajectory analysis

ALLFORPACK Emballage Paris is the direct heir of the Salon International de l'Emballage, created in Paris in 1947, one of the oldest French industrial events. The ALL4PACK brand dates from 2014, the year the Emballage trade fair merged with the Manutention trade fair under a single banner. The post-COVID 2022 edition attempted an ambitious repositioning ("Lead the revolution") with a stated target of 66,000 expected visitors, never reached in the published results. The 2024 edition achieved 27,303 visitors and 1,022 exhibitors, below the initial marketing projections but with a high internationalisation rate (88 countries). The 2026 edition was meant to mark a streamlining at Villepinte (3 days instead of 4, a single hall, the "Unbox your potential" strapline). It was postponed: on 23 June 2026, Comexposium announced an edition from 29 June to 1 July 2027 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, under the ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS name, with more machines in operation and a focus on French-speaking decision-maker visitors. The trade fair thus returns to Porte de Versailles, where the first Salon de l'emballage was held in 1947. The bet: densify the visitor and exhibitor experience rather than chase record volumes that were never met.

The trade fair operates in a competitive market alongside Interpack (Düsseldorf, triennial, the global segment leader), FachPack (Nuremberg, annual), EMPACK (Lyon / Paris, ESM) and the French Prod&Pack (Lyon, biennial on alternate years). The challenge for the 2027 edition: to win back European leadership on the Paris axis, drawing on the eco-organisation / federation / materials R&D ecosystem that is particularly well structured in France (Citeo, CNE, ELIPSO, GEPPIA).
