ProPak China takes place at National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Hongqiao in Shanghai from 23 June to 25 June 2027. Processing and packaging technology for food, drink and pharma.
What the fair covers
Packaging materials, machinery and design solutions are the focus. Processing and packaging technology for food, drink and pharma. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 23 June to 25 June 2027 at National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Hongqiao in Shanghai. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Shanghai hosts more international trade fairs than any other city in China, and its two main venues sit on opposite sides of the city. Check which one your fair uses before booking a hotel, because crossing Shanghai in exhibition traffic can take well over an hour. The metro is extensive and almost always faster than a taxi during fair weeks.
Planning your visit
These fairs sit between products and production, and most exhibitors run live equipment. Seeing a line operate at speed answers questions about changeover time, waste rates and operator workload that specifications leave open. Buyers usually arrive with a throughput requirement rather than a product list. For ProPak China, that means preparing ahead of the June dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
Most exhibitors are Chinese manufacturers, and while larger stands often have English speaking sales staff, that is not something to rely on across a whole venue. English tends to run out exactly where it matters most, once a conversation moves to specifications, tolerances, materials and pricing terms. Buyers working with an interpreter generally cover more ground in a day, because they can negotiate directly rather than through a phone app. An interpreter already working in Shanghai saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
Equipment decisions in this sector hinge on running costs rather than purchase price. Consumables, spare parts and service response often outweigh the initial quote over a few years. Confirm what support exists in your region before committing, and arrange an acceptance test before shipment.
