Led by industry insiders and experts, online audiences embarked on eleven live exhibition tours from July 14-16, which allowed the virtual attendees to gain new insights and discover innovative products brought by 80 leading suppliers in the packaging and printing industry.

The online platform will remain open for another month with all hybrid functions still available. In addition, 4-days of live streaming playbacks of SinoCorrugated and SinoFoldingCarton 2021 can be viewed on YouTube.
