PackPlus South returns to Hyderabad for its 15th edition

RX India has announced the 15th edition of PackPlus South, the trade exhibition dedicated to the packaging, printing, converting, and supply chain industries in Southern India. The event will be held from 7–9 November 2025 at the Hitex Exhibition Centre, Hyderabad.

It will feature over 100 live demonstrations and multiple product launches across packaging and printing technologies. Visitors will have the opportunity to view machinery in operation, including automated packing lines, smart labelling systems, digital printing presses, and corrugation equipment, offering practical insights into automation and operational efficiency.

Exhibits will cover a broad spectrum of solutions, including packaging machinery, coding and marking systems, printing presses, label printing equipment, corrugated box machinery, and flexible and rigid packaging innovations. The show will also highlight developments in digitalisation, sustainability, and next-generation technologies shaping the future of the industry.

According to RX India, the event aims to serve as a platform for professionals to explore emerging business models, sustainable materials, and the integration of automation in manufacturing and logistics.

India’s packaging sector is expanding at a double-digit compound annual growth rate and is projected to exceed USD 200-billion by 2030. Growth is being driven by rising consumption in processed food, personal care, and pharmaceuticals, with flexible packaging continuing to lead the market. Paper-based and recyclable alternatives are gaining prominence, supported by environmental regulations such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) norms that mandate higher recycled content.

“The city of Hyderabad and the surrounding region are witnessing rapid industrial growth and investment, creating a strong demand for modern packaging and printing solutions,” said Umang Gupta, country head, RX India. “This year’s edition is focused on technology that supports sustainability, cost efficiency, and improved product development.”

Exhibitors will include major industry players such as Konica Minolta, Epson, and HP from the printing segment; Robus India, Signode, and SwanPack from packaging; and Natraj Industries and MannaPackTech from corrugation.

RX India stated that exhibitors can expect extensive visibility, qualified lead generation, and opportunities for new product launches. PackPlus South 2025 is designed to cater primarily to the Southern Indian market while attracting participants from across India and overseas.
