Interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany promises to be one of the most significant packaging exhibitions in years – and the combined presence of Esko and Videojet Technologies is set to be among its defining highlights. Whether you are planning your visit or simply want to understand what these two packaging innovation leaders have in store, this comprehensive preview covers everything you need to know.
Esko at Interpack 2026: What to Expect
As packaging operations become more complex, the focus is shifting toward how systems connect across the entire lifecycle. At interpack 2026, Esko will present a connected approach to packaging that links design, data, and production within a single workflow.
Located in Hall 8b, Booth 8BC14, Esko’s presence is built around an integration-first model. Its cloud platform Esko S2, along with solutions such as WebCenter, ArtiosCAD, Studio, Store Visualizer, and Cape Pack, are positioned to show how packaging development can move faster when data remains consistent across stages. The focus is on reducing silos and enabling teams to work from a shared source of artwork and production data.

Alongside these systems, Esko will also highlight its AI-driven compliance capabilities, designed to improve accuracy and streamline artwork validation within increasingly complex regulatory environments.
Videojet at Interpack 2026: What to Expect
On the production side, Videojet will demonstrate how coding and marking systems support connected packaging workflows from pack to pallet.
Its portfolio spans continuous inkjet, laser marking, thermal inkjet, and thermal transfer overprinting, along with print and apply systems and pallet labelling solutions. These technologies will be shown operating within production environments where variable data such as dates, batch codes, and GS1-compliant identifiers must be applied consistently.
The emphasis is not only on marking technologies, but on how they integrate into broader production workflows. Software-driven controls help standardise coding processes, reduce manual input errors, and maintain traceability across packaging levels.
Videojet solutions will also be visible across multiple partner exhibits at the event, reflecting how coding and marking systems are embedded within a wide range of packaging lines.
Who Should Visit
The joint presence is relevant for professionals looking to understand how packaging workflows are evolving beyond isolated stages.
It is particularly useful for packaging and operations managers aiming to improve efficiency, brand owners seeking faster development cycles, converters and print service providers evaluating workflow integration, and supply chain teams focused on traceability. It also offers value for sustainability and compliance professionals preparing for regulatory changes and data-driven packaging requirements.
Plan Your Visit
A central part of the experience is a guided, end-to-end walkthrough that follows a product from digital concept through production, coding, and final palletisation. The session brings together multiple partners to demonstrate how connected data supports speed, compliance, and sustainability across the packaging lifecycle. Together, Esko and Videojet present a connected packaging workflow that links design, production, and traceability within a single integrated environment.
The guided experience will take place from 7 to 13 May 2026 at Messe Düsseldorf in Hall 8b, Booth 8BC14, with one session scheduled each day. For those looking to see how integrated packaging workflows operate in practice, the session offers a structured and practical perspective.
