Esko invites you to their event

From Design to Production Line: The Future of the Packaging Value Chain

About this event

The virtual follow-up to the interpack End-to-end Experience 

September 10, 2026 | 4 PM CET / 10 AM ET 

During interpack 2026, Esko and its partners brought the end-to-end packaging value chain to life through integrated automation leveraging the Esko Packaging Hub. The live experience "From Design to Production Line" followed the journey of a granola pouch pack from concept to production and inline coding to optimized palletization. 

Now we're bringing that experience online. 

Join us for a virtual walkthrough of the connected Esko Partner Ecosystem and discover how integrated technologies, shared data, and collaborative workflows help brands, converters, and packaging professionals improve compliance, traceability, sustainability, and speed to market.   

Through demonstrations and expert insights, you'll see how the Esko Packaging Hub and integrated partner solutions support every stage of the packaging lifecycle to enable organizations prepare for emerging industry requirements such as Recyclability for PPWR and US California's SB54, EPR cost savings, GS1 Sunrise 2027 and the Digital Product Passports (DPP) plus consumer engaging digital experiences.
