Save the Date: ECPA Co-Packer Summer Summit – June 23, 2026

On June 23, 2026, ECPA brings its community together in Karlsbad for the Co-Packer Summer Summit. With a focus on the future of flexible packaging, the event will explore how paper and plastics may coexist rather than compete.

Please mark your calendar!

On June 23, 2026, we will bring the ECPA community together for our next Co-Packer Summer Summit—hosted once again by our associate member Herrmann Ultraschall in Karlsbad (Germany).

Expect an afternoon focused on connection, insight and forward thinking—bringing co-packers together to exchange perspectives on where our industry is heading.

One of the key themes this year:
Flexible Packaging of the Future – Paper vs. Plastics
Often positioned as an either/or debate—but is it really? We will explore whether this is in fact a paradox, and how both materials may well have a role to play side by side in future packaging solutions.

For those who wish to extend their visit, you will also have the opportunity to attend the Herrmann US TechDays on June 24–25.

More details will follow soon.

For now, we encourage you to block the date—and if you are attending Interpack, let’s already connect there to discuss what to expect.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Karlsbad—or perhaps even sooner next week at Interpack.
