Arno Dürr, Sales Director of WEILBURGER Graphics GmbH about the successful event: “We are already planning the Packaging Inspiration Forum together with the PrintCity as well as many other members and partners for the fourth year. We are very pleased to note that our small but fine event has now established itself as a permanent institution in the market. Especially the mix of brandowners, creatives and packaging producers among the visitors makes this forum to an ideal platform for all participants to look beyond their own horizons as well as to view chances and problems from other perspectives. This creates understanding, perspectives and invites the participants to expand their network and form successful collaborations for future projects.” Arno Dürr concludes: “We are already looking forward to the 5th Packaging Inspiration Forum which will be held in the spring 2018 in the proven Grand Elysée Hotel in Hamburg.”
