The People Behind the Booth: How Taghleef Industries Showed Up at Interpack 2026
For five days in Düsseldorf, Taghleef Industries turned its Interpack 2026 stand into something closer to a working laboratory than a traditional trade show booth, a space built for conversation, demonstration and genuine exchange with the packaging value chain. Under the theme “Expanding the Possibilities of Packaging Together,” Ti invited converters, brand owners, and industry colleagues to discover the next developments in film technology, and did so by sharing the exhibition space with Polyopt, demonstrating that collaboration across the value chain is where the most useful innovation tends to come from.
Five Stations, Five Strategic Themes
At the heart of the stand, five circular product stations gave visitors a structured route through Ti’s innovation priorities, from raw material to shelf to end of life. Origins, Rewritten opened the journey by looking at how materials themselves are changing, spanning biobased sources, recycled content and downgauged film solutions. Distinction, Amplified moved from material to market, showcasing films built to elevate brand storytelling and shelf presence. Further stations carried the story through to circularity, covering recyclability-enhanced structures and the practicalities of getting more packaging back into existing waste streams.
Taken together, the five stations weren’t presented as five separate stories, but as one continuous narrative: a film’s life doesn’t end at the point of sale, and Ti’s portfolio is built with that full lifecycle in mind.
Ti Talks: Two Program, One Booth
A key addition to this year’s presence was Ti Talks, a brand-new on-booth program designed to inform, inspire and connect and one that ran during the trade show.
Each morning, Ti Talks – Inside Packaging gave visitors direct access to Ti’s own specialists, who walked attendees through the company’s latest materials, solutions and real customer success stories. It was a chance to hear, first-hand, how Ti’s innovations are actually being used to solve problems on real production lines.
Each afternoon, Ti Talks – Beyond Packaging opened the floor to the wider industry. Across five themed sessions, external experts and speakers – from analysts at ICIS to representatives of RecyClass, PepsiCo, GS1 Germany, Flexible Packaging Europe, the Association of Plastic Recyclers and Mars Advanced Research Institute, among others -joined moderated discussions on everything from shifting resin markets to the real-world potential of compostable packaging. Packaging Europe served as media partner for the series, helping bring these conversations to a wider audience beyond the show floor.
A Show Built on Conversation
What stood out most about this year’s participation was the format itself and the involvement of all the Taghleef experts who traveled from every corner of the globe to support the team with their expertise. By combining interactive product stations with a truly open program of presentations, Ti created a booth that served as both a showcase and a forum. Visitors didn’t just see what Taghleef Industries produces; they had the opportunity to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and discuss the future direction to take.
As the packaging industry continues to navigate new regulations, ever-evolving consumer expectations, and the practical realities of the Circular Economy, Interpack 2026 reaffirmed a simple idea for Taghleef: the possibilities offered by packaging truly expand more rapidly when we tackle them together.
