Packaging—something we encounter daily—goes far beyond its practical purpose. It is a dynamic form of printed material deeply connected to societal trends and innovations. The 10th Modern Japan Package Exhibition 2024 invites visitors to explore this fascinating world through a showcase of award-winning designs from three of Japan’s premier packaging contests.
Packaging as a Reflection of Society
Packaging designs have always evolved alongside society, adapting to new needs, technologies, and aesthetics. In recent years, the industry has embraced its role in addressing global challenges, such as sustainability, by incorporating the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its practices.
From reducing waste through innovative materials to creating designs that resonate with eco-conscious consumers, packaging has become a canvas for tackling environmental and social issues. This exhibition tells the story of these transformative efforts, showing how the industry has responded to contemporary needs and contributed to creating a more sustainable future.
What to Expect at the Exhibition
Visitors will see a wide variety of packaging on display, from beautifully crafted consumer product designs to robust transportation packaging used in industry. These award-winning works exemplify the creativity and innovation that drive the field, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how form, function, and sustainability come together to shape the products we use every day.
This year’s exhibition not only celebrates a decade of showcasing the best in Japanese packaging but also provides an opportunity to appreciate its often-overlooked impact on our lives and environment.
