Taking Brands from Concept to Production at London Packaging Week 2025
The BCMPA, the association for contract manufacturing, packing, fulfilment and logistics, is heading to London Packaging Week 2025, ready to connect brands with outsourcing partners that drive efficiency, scale businesses and speed up time to market.
Taking place at Excel London on 15 -16 October, the BCMPA team will be available on stand B61 to discuss the wide range of services members provide and how to take products from concept to delivery, to the end consumer. From gift packing, subscription boxes and advent calendars to the manufacture of food, drink, nutraceuticals, and personal care products, the association represents over 200 companies with the skills and capacity to support businesses of all sizes.
“Whatever the product, whether a face cream, functional beverage or specialty drink, BCMPA members have the capability to bring new brands and products to market,” said Emma Verkaik, CEO of the BCMPA.
“London Packaging Week is an important event for us. It brings together people, ideas, and opportunities and sows the seeds for future projects. With outsourcing now central to competitiveness, we look forward to showing how our members use their expertise to support brands and start-ups in bringing products to market and how using third parties allows business owners to focus on their own growth and plans rather than day-to-day operational challenges.”
The BCMPA plays a pivotal role in supporting start-ups as they launch their products and will announce a brand-new initiative at London Packaging Week: an exciting competition that helps smaller businesses connect with critical partners while giving next generation brands the chance to showcase their ideas to a panel of industry experts.
“Our members cover every stage of the supply chain, offering advice that supports both start-up brands and global businesses alike. London Packaging Week is the ideal platform to launch our new competition and show how collaboration between retailers and third-party manufacturers, packers and logistics providers can provide the key for successful product launches,” added Verkaik. “I hope that new start-ups will be keen to learn more about the competition at the show.”
In addition, two BCMPA members – PHL Fulfilment and Poppypac – will be present at London Packaging Week with their own stands to discuss face to face the ways in which outsourcing projects can help them take their products to market. More information can be found here.
