Qunle Packaging Reflects on a Successful 28th Pet Fair Asia 2026

Shanghai, China – The 28th Pet Fair Asia, held from August 19 to 23, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, came to a triumphant close last weekend, reaffirming its status as the pet industry’s most influential gathering in the Asia‑Pacific region. The five‑day event welcomed over 530,000 visitors from more than 90 countries and featured more than 2,600 exhibitors across a record 320,000 square metres of exhibition space. Thousands of new pet products were launched, and the concurrent supply‑chain expo, PET FAIR SUPPLY, expanded to 70,000 square metres with over 900 suppliers showcasing innovations in equipment, OEM/ODM, smart manufacturing, and packaging.

Packaging emerged as a key theme throughout the show. The dedicated “Pet Food Metal Packaging” zone and the “Pet Packaging Innovation Competition” drew intense attention, with industry experts emphasising that sustainable materials, user‑centric design, and food‑safety compliance are now non‑negotiable for pet brands. As the pet food sector increasingly adopts human‑grade ingredients and clean‑label trends, the demand for high‑performance, environmentally responsible packaging solutions continues to surge. Many exhibitors and visitors agreed that packaging is no longer a secondary consideration but a strategic differentiator that directly influences consumer trust and brand loyalty.

Qunle Packaging, China’s premier specialist in composite cans and paper cans, made a strong impression at this year’s fair. With over 24 years of dedicated experience, the company is the only Chinese member of the international Composite Can and Tube Institute (CCTI) and holds the distinction of being the first domestic enterprise to obtain the QS certification for food packaging containers. Throughout the exhibition, Qunle Packaging showcased its latest composite can innovations tailored for the pet food and pet treat segments. Visitors were particularly interested in the company’s European‑grade production capabilities, highlighted by the high‑speed composite can production line imported from Europe in 2015, which ensures consistent quality, high efficiency, and precise customisation.

The company’s booth attracted a steady flow of brand owners, supply‑chain managers, and international buyers. Many were drawn to Qunle’s portfolio of more than 10 patented technologies and its proven track record of serving renowned global brands such as COFCO, STANDERS, DAVIDs TEA, Avalanche Coffee, Whittaker’s, Mcsteven’s, Nongfu Spring, and Beingmate. During the show, the Qunle team engaged in productive discussions with both existing partners and new prospects, exploring collaborative opportunities in sustainable packaging, customised shapes, and barrier‑enhancing materials. Several pilot projects were initiated on site, particularly with emerging pet food brands looking for packaging that combines visual appeal with superior protection against moisture, oxygen, and light.

Beyond commercial engagements, Qunle Packaging actively participated in the show’s educational forums and networking sessions. The company shared its insights on the evolving regulatory landscape for food‑contact materials in China and overseas, reinforcing its role as a thought leader in the composite can industry. The feedback received from international visitors confirmed that Qunle’s commitment to safety, innovation, and environmental stewardship aligns perfectly with the global pet industry’s shift towards more responsible packaging solutions.

Looking ahead, Qunle Packaging will leverage the momentum gained at Pet Fair Asia 2026 to further expand its international footprint. The company plans to accelerate R&D efforts in biodegradable coatings, lightweight structures, and smart packaging features that enhance consumer engagement. With a solid foundation of patented technologies and a customer‑centric approach, Qunle remains dedicated to delivering high‑quality, cost‑effective composite can solutions for the global pet market and beyond.

The 28th Pet Fair Asia has once again demonstrated the vitality and resilience of the pet industry. For Qunle Packaging, the show was not only a platform to exhibit its capabilities but also a valuable opportunity to listen, learn, and strengthen relationships across the value chain. As the company reflects on a productive week in Shanghai, it extends its sincere gratitude to all visitors, partners, and organisers who made this edition a resounding success. Qunle Packaging looks forward to continuing its mission of providing premium composite can packaging – and to meeting the industry again at future editions of Pet Fair Asia.
