Aerosol & Dispensing Forum (ADF) and Packaging of Perfume Cosmetics & Design (PCD) Shanghai 2019 is China’s only event specifically dedicated to the aerosol, dispensing, perfume, cosmetic, packaging & design community. It’s the only place where the region’s personal care, cosmetic and beauty companies can get together with global brands to network, learn, do business, and source the very latest innovations from some of the world’s top design agencies and packaging suppliers.   After its successful launch last year, the show is back for its second edition, boasting leading suppliers, bringing with them innovation from all over the globe. This edition will be complimented by an increased focus on educational content, as well as a host of new interactive features and networking events, all designed to give visitors the tools and access they need to revitalize their packaging, increase brand awareness and boost their all-important sales.    The show returns to the Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing, on March 27 & 28, alongside the Pentawards Conference from the organizers of the packaging design awards – The Pentawards.
