Renowned carton manufacturer, Falconer Print & Packaging, is set to showcase its expertise in creative, sustainable, and intricately designed carton packaging at London Packaging Week 2026. This prominent event will take place at ExCeL London on 16-17 September.
Located at Stand F80, Falconer will emphasize how thoughtful structural design, material selection, and decorative finishing can synergistically create packaging that not only stands out on shelves but also meets the rising sustainability demands of brands and retailers.
With a focus on gifting, Falconer will present a curated selection of customer packaging alongside examples that illustrate the innovative potential of cartonboard. Notably, the company will feature its award-nominated 2025 Christmas Tree, demonstrating how imaginative structural design, print, and finishing can elevate cartonboard into an engaging piece of seasonal packaging.
Embellishment will be a key highlight, as the Falconer team will engage with visitors to discuss a variety of finishes that enhance brand differentiation and perceived value. Techniques such as foiling, embossing, and specialized coatings, as well as tactile and visual effects, will showcase how diverse methods can be integrated to create packaging that resonates with consumers while adhering to commercial and environmental standards.
Sustainability will remain a central theme throughout the event. Falconer collaborates closely with customers to develop carton solutions that balance visual impact, functionality, and responsible material use. This partnership enables brands to make informed packaging decisions without sacrificing the consumer experience.
Additionally, London Packaging Week will serve as a platform for Falconer to introduce its Little Book of Inspiration. This resource showcases the extensive effects, finishes, and creative opportunities available to packaging designers, brands, and retailers.
Rather than just a catalogue of techniques, the Little Book of Inspiration acts as a springboard for generating new packaging concepts. Attendees can schedule time with the Falconer team during the exhibition to explore the collection and discuss how specific finishes, materials, and combinations could be tailored to their packaging projects.
“London Packaging Week is a great environment for discussions around what packaging can achieve,” stated Colin Pow, Falconer’s sales & marketing director. “Brands are looking for standout presentation, particularly within gifting and premium products, but sustainability and commercial practicality have to be part of the same conversation.”
“Our Little Book of Inspiration brings many of those possibilities together and gives us a really useful way of sitting down with customers, understanding what they want to achieve and exploring finishes and ideas that could work for their particular brand or project.”
Falconer supports customers from initial concept and structural development through to print, finishing, and manufacture, combining technical expertise with a strong emphasis on creative problem-solving.
