On October 8-14, the most-anticipated packaging, printing, and plastics event in the country is going completely virtual, to address the needs of the three mega industries amidst the changing business environment.

Titled Pack Print Plas Philippines VX (PPP VX), this virtual expo is set to connect visitors and exhibitors from all over the world; by showcasing the latest products and services offered in the market. As this is held in a digital space, meeting and networking will now be easier, giving them the opportunity to do these things wherever they may be.

The show will be LIVE from October 8 to 10 (which means exhibitors will be available to chat or meet up on the spot) and OPEN from October 11 to 14 (which means buyers can send messages, inquire or set meetings) all during show hours.

PPP VX is also supported by the most trusted associations in the industry namely Philippine Center for Print Excellence Foundation Inc. (PCPEF), Packaging Institute of the Philippines (PIP) and Philippine Plastics Industry Association, Inc. (PPIA).

“Our decision to put this in the digital space has been the best decision that we made at the moment. The business environment is constantly changing and we don’t want the present situation to hinder us from helping the three mega industries. That is why we have made the annual Pack Print Plas Philippines virtual,” says Patrick-Lawrence Tan, Chief Executive Officer of Global-Link MP Events International Inc.
