New in 2011 were three specific tracks – beauty, wine & spirits and fine foods – designed to help visitors locate the suppliers specialising in their market.
Luxe Pack New York 2011 also hosted eight seminars featuring speakers including Francis Cholle, founder and ceo, the Human Company; Marc Rosen, president of Marc Rosen Associates; and Jamie Matusow, editor of Beauty Packaging Magazine.
Commenting on the 2011 event, executive director Nathalie Grosdidier said: “The continued growth of Luxe Pack New York, every year, underscores the event’s significance to the world of luxury packaging, both for suppliers and for leading brands in a multitude of industries.”
The verdict from exhibitors was also positive. “We have struggled to find a trade show that limits the number of exhibitors yet has the impact of a lot of traffic,” commented Dustin Schadt of first-time exhibitor Artistic Carton Co. “We were pleased to find that Luxe Pack met both criteria. We will return in years to come.”
Vitro Packaging’s Victor Rodriguez added: “This is one of the best trade shows for the cosmetic industry with a global perspective.”
