Leading carton manufacturer, Falconer Print & Packaging, will showcase its expertise in creative, sustainable and highly embellished carton packaging at London Packaging Week 2026, taking place at ExCeL London on 16-17 September.
Exhibiting on Stand F80, Falconer will highlight how considered structural design, material selection and decorative finishing can combine to create packaging that delivers strong shelf presence while responding to the evolving sustainability requirements of brands and retailers.
With gifting set to be a key focus on the stand, the company will present a selection of customer packaging alongside examples that demonstrate the creative potential of cartonboard. These will include its award-nominated 2025 Christmas Tree, which showcases how imaginative structural design, print and finishing can transform cartonboard into an engaging piece of seasonal packaging.
Embellishment will also feature prominently, with the Falconer team on hand to discuss the range of finishes available to help brands create differentiation and add perceived value. From foiling, embossing and specialist coatings to tactile and visual effects, visitors will be able to explore how different techniques can be combined to create packaging that connects with consumers without losing sight of commercial or environmental considerations.
Sustainability will underpin the conversation throughout the event. Falconer works closely with customers to develop carton solutions that balance visual impact, functionality and responsible material use, helping brands make informed packaging decisions without compromising the consumer experience.
The company will also use London Packaging Week to highlight its Little Book of Inspiration, created to demonstrate the breadth of effects, finishes and creative possibilities available to packaging designers, brands and retailers.
Rather than simply providing a catalogue of techniques, the Little Book of Inspiration is designed as a starting point for developing new packaging ideas. Visitors can arrange time with the Falconer team during the show to explore the collection and discuss how particular finishes, materials and combinations could be applied to their own packaging projects.
“London Packaging Week is a great environment for discussions around what packaging can achieve,” said 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.
