Trade show organiser easyFairs has experienced a record number of exhibitor bookings for its Packaging Innovations event at the NEC next February. As a result, the floor space allocated to this section of the show has already been filled; with a further six stands being added to accommodate the continued demand.

The show, which takes place at the NEC on 27 and 28 February 2013, has witnessed a 9% increase in exhibitors, compared to this time last year, with 19 exhibitors signing up in the last month and a further 18 across the co-located shows.

Packaging Innovations is co-located with Ecopack, Contract Pack, Packtech, Print Innovations and the new Labelling Innovations show, all of which only have a handful of stands left as 314 modules have been sold for the show.

Matt Benyon, managing director of easyFairs UK Ltd, said: ‘We have experienced eight years of consecutive growth on this show, so it is fantastic news to continue this trend and have to expand the floorplan with nearly three months still to go before the show. With new exhibitors across all areas of the show, and a host of big names returning with new launches, the show will be electric.’
