The Expo Edit

The month of May marked the end of a busy and exciting trade show season for us at Tyler Packaging. Over the first five months of 2025, we’ve travelled far and wide – connecting with partners, customers, and new faces within Europe and America. Now, with our final show wrapped up, it’s time to look back at the recent highlights.

Dates: April 10–11

In April, we headed to Cologne to exhibit at FIBO 2025, one of the largest trade shows on our calendar. Focused on fitness, sports, and nutrition, FIBO was the perfect platform to showcase our packaging solutions for protein and health-focused products.

Our team – Sam, James, Mark, Hugo, and Josh – arrived a day early to get everything set up. After making sure the stand looked great and we were fully prepped, we kicked off the show on Thursday morning. It started a little slow, but momentum quickly picked up. We had a great turnout, spoke with loads of visitors, and even reconnected with some familiar faces from the industry.

Friday brought even more foot traffic, more conversations, and plenty of exciting new opportunities. We wrapped up the show feeling energised and optimistic, ready to follow up on all the great connections we made. Next stop: Bologna!

Dates: May 5–7

We closed out the season in style at Zoomark 2025, our biggest trade show of the year! Held every two years, alternating with Interzoo, Zoomark is a major event in the pet food industry—our largest and most dynamic market.

We flew in the day before to get the stand just right, once again going big with our eye-catching oversized pouch design. Over three action-packed days, our stand became a hub of activity with scheduled meetings, spontaneous drop-ins, and friendly catch-ups.

One of the standout moments was our networking happy hour on Tuesday, hosted in partnership with the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC). Guests joined us for drinks, snacks, and conversations about sustainability and innovation in packaging. It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce new faces to both Tyler Packaging and the PSC mission.

We also showcased our new PE Met Pouch at the Pet Vision stand, which earned us a nomination for the Green Transition Award. While we didn’t take home the prize, we were proud to be recognised and to reaffirm our commitment to sustainable solutions.

The evenings brought more than just delicious Italian cuisine (shoutout to that unforgettable lasagna) – they gave us time to reconnect with PSC and other industry partners in a relaxed setting.

Zoomark was a brilliant way to end our trade show circuit—and definitely one of our favourites so far!

As always, we’ve loved getting out into the world to spread the word about Tyler Packaging. Trade shows give us a chance to meet people face to face, forge meaningful relationships, and reconnect with industry friends.

While our travel schedule is on pause for now, we’re already looking forward to the next opportunity – whenever and wherever that may be 👀

Until next time!
