PPL Conclave 2025

Powering innovation, sustainability, leadership

From simple protective containers to sophisticated, intelligent systems that actively contribute to patient care and supply chain security, pharma packaging and labelling has come a long way. Today, packaging solutions like child-resistant and tamper-evident designs, add value by increasing safety and compliance.

Smart labeling with QR codes or NFC technology enables better tracking, product authentication and patient engagement. Effective packaging and labeling also play a direct role in building brand reputation and supporting revenue growth in a competitive market.

And, it continues to evolve, driven and dominated by technological advancement, sustainability imperatives and evolving patient needs.

Therefore, Pharma Packaging and Labelling (PPL) Conclave 2025 will once again bring together industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to explore cutting-edge solutions and approaches to create more agile, compliant, and innovative packaging and labelling solutions.

Under the theme, ‘Powering innovation, sustainability, leadership’, they will also examine how packaging and labelling can bring significant value to businesses and consumers. Experts will explore strategies and best practices for navigating regulatory changes in both established and emerging markets. They will also delve into how technology is driving the development of intelligent solutions that meet market demands while optimising supply chain efficiency.
