Africa’s ultimate packaging industry trade show


There was great excitement around this year’s Propak Africa 2022 live exhibition, which took place from 8 – 11 March. After four days of unparalleled access to fresh new thinking and the latest packaging initiatives, thousands of potential buyers had met with 200+ sellers of the latest cutting-edge machinery, products, consumables, systems and services. Our exhibitors pulled out all the stops to deliver a world-class show and visitors grabbed the opportunity to source new products and get great ideas around efficiency improvements, cost containment and better returns for their business. Now our attention is turned to Propak Africa 2025.



The future is coming, fast! With the rapid and continuous move towards automation and digitisation across industries, companies are realising that they need to invest in smarter solutions, products and services if they want to reap the benefits of staying ahead of the curve. As Africa’s definitive packaging, printing, food processing, plastics and labelling trade exhibition, Propak Africa 2025 will attract thousands of industry decision-makers with purchasing power and influence. The expo provides an unparalleled platform to explore trends, link people and products, build quality business connections, increase brand awareness and facilitate sales.
