The Design PK visited 3P Pakistan 2026, the Plas Print Pack Pakistan exhibition, at Expo Centre Lahore from 3 to 5 September 2026. The show brought together more than 650 exhibitors from over 30 countries and drew around 35,000 trade visitors.
Sustainability and custom manufacturing
Sustainable materials and custom manufacturing lines were among the most visible themes at the show, with exhibitors presenting both across the halls.
Ideas for product scouts
For tech entrepreneurs and product scouts, the exhibition pointed to real patented product potential in the products and production lines on display.
Packaging is the first touchpoint
Packaging is the first touchpoint between a product and its customer. Unboxing and smart packaging shape how a product is judged. That first impression feeds directly into e-commerce conversions.
Manufacturers are looking for creative partners
Traditional manufacturers at the show are actively seeking creative partners who can turn B2B production capacity into export-ready global brands.
Our closing takeaway
The most lucrative opportunities sit at the intersection of heavy industry and digital agility.
