Luxe Pack New York 2012 Edition Marks 10th Anniversary

Every year since its inception, LUXE PACK has showcased more exhibitors than previously, and 2012 should be no exception with approximately 140 exhibitors bringing their exciting selections of innovative packaging for all luxury sectors – cosmetics/fragrance, personal care, food, wine and spirits, fashion/accessories, jewelry/watches and more – expected to participate. A comprehensive seminar offering is also scheduled. The event will be held May 16 – 17, at The Altman Building and Metropolitan Pavilion (125-135 West 18th Street between 6th & 7th Avenues).



“We are thrilled to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of LUXE PACK NEW YORK this year,” said Nathalie Grosdidier, Executive Director, LUXE PACK NEW YORK.  “Each year, the event has grown significantly in three key areas. First, we continue to spotlight more high quality exhibitors with an array of expertise and innovations. Second, we have developed the content of LUXE PACK to feature the best top-level seminars.  And third, as a result, more and more brands and designers visit each year, making LUXE PACK NEW YORK really the creative packaging event for the American luxury industry. No other show is like it.”
