Packaging Suppliers Global

What Packaging Suppliers Global does

Packaging Suppliers Global is a privately held B2B digital media portal and supplier directory serving the global packaging industry, headquartered in Tiverton, United Kingdom, with a team of 1-10 employees. The platform operates an A-Z supplier directory organized across five sector verticals (food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, non-food) and five service categories (materials, products, machines & equipment, printing, services), alongside a news publishing function covering sustainability, regulation, supplier announcements, and technology developments. It also owns and operates London Packaging Week at ExCeL London, a flagship trade event targeting brands in beauty, luxury, drinks, and FMCG.

The core technology is a conventional web-based B2B directory and content management platform with a weekly email newsletter distributed via Mailchimp. The company maintains 100+ supplier listings in the food packaging vertical alone and partnerships with 15+ industry associations including PMMI, European Bioplastics, ECMA, CPI, and Steel for Packaging Europe, lending credibility and ecosystem reach. Content is published across sustainability, business, and events categories, with additional video content featuring supplier profiles.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: paid supplier directory listings structured as multi-year subscription contracts, and advertising/sponsorship tied to newsletter distribution and the London Packaging Week event. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and supplier onboarding is self-service via an 'Add Your Company' feature. The go-to-market is sales-led with a content-driven marketing strategy targeting packaging buyers, brands, and industry professionals globally, complemented by event participation and association partnerships.

Broad incumbents

• Alibaba.com: Alibaba.com is the world's largest B2B e-commerce marketplace with a sizable packaging-supplier category. It is comparable to PSG as a discovery channel for packaging buyers but operates across all industrial categories at vastly larger scale.
• Thomasnet: Thomasnet is the dominant North American industrial B2B supplier directory, serving broad categories including industrial packaging equipment and materials. It is comparable to PSG as a B2B supplier-discovery platform, but operates at much larger scale and broader industrial scope.
• Global Sources: Global Sources is a Hong Kong-headquartered B2B sourcing platform connecting international buyers with Asian packaging and consumer-goods suppliers. It overlaps PSG's B2B supplier-discovery thesis but operates at international marketplace scale.

Direct peers
