Tobacco Packaging Value Chain
Next summit: March 2026 Dubai/ UAEabout
topacking
topacking is an independent organization which objective is to bring market & technology updates along the packaging value chain to the tobacco industry.
topacking is keen to support local printers, converters and brand owners, and aims to provide an insight to tobacco packaging production and best practices as well as future developments and local trends.
Besides technical inputs and a deeper dive into pressing industry topics, the topacking summit also offers an open stage and the direct dialogue with the topacking partners.
topacking, the new format for the tobacco supply chain, was successfully kicked-off on May 14/15 in Surabaya/Indonesia.
About 100 people in total attended the first topacking summit informing about market & technology updates along the packaging value chain for the tobacco industry.
The interactive concept of topacking paid off by leaving the choice of the deep-dive topics to the audience.
The well-balanced schedule offered sufficient time for intensive exchange and networking, too.
Sustainability, security and service are among the leading matters just to mention a few.
