MODERNPAK and INTERGRAFIKA are back on the Zagreb Fair’s Calendar of Events! They will be held from 4 - 7 December 2025!
The global packaging materials and packaging industry market continues its strong expansion, with estimates that it will reach a value of 1.2 trillion US dollars by 2028, with an annual growth rate of 5.5%. Global consumption of packaging materials is increasing due to the rise of online shopping, which accounted for as much as 18% of total consumption of packaging materials in 2023. In the sustainable packaging sector, the market is expected to grow from 145.9 billion dollars in 2021 to 228.9 billion by 2026. Digital printing technologies in the packaging industry are recording a growth of 8% per year, with the market to reach 24.2 billion dollars by 2027. In addition, the global share of bioplastics in the packaging industry is estimated to grow from 2% to 10% by 2030, consistent with the growing demand for sustainable solutions.
The above indicators and the large interest of packaging manufacturers, producers and distributors of packing and printing machines, as well as graphic designers, creatives and software solution providers, are the most important reasons for defining the dates of the event, which will certainly once again become the leading meeting point for the packaging and printing industry in Croatia and the region.
It is important to note that the two international fairs organized by Zagreb Fair have a long tradition - after a break of several years, Modernpak will see its 31st and Intergrafika its 26th edition.
In collaboration with partners from Turkey, Zagreb Fair pavilion will be transformed into a unique venue for exploring innovations, emerging technologies and industry trends. We are announcing attractive presentations of products and solutions, ranging from environmentally friendly options to cutting-edge technological breakthroughs that are shaping the future of packaging materials and printing.
