Zhongxin Packaging will meet global buyers at Phase 2 of the 140th Canton Fair in Guangzhou from October 23–27, 2026. Procurement teams visiting the fair to source bagasse tableware or molded fiber foodservice packaging can use the meeting to compare product formats, specifications, packaging, documentation and sourcing requirements in person.
This article is written for buyers preparing their Canton Fair plan. It explains where to find Zhongxin Packaging, what official fair information to check before travel, which product questions to bring, and how to turn a booth visit into a useful RFQ or sample discussion.
The 140th China Import and Export Fair will be held in Guangzhou across three phases from October 15 to November 4, 2026. Zhongxin Packaging will attend Phase 2, which runs from October 23–27.

Buyers should check the official Canton Fair website and the Ministry of Commerce introduction to the 140th Canton Fair before finalizing travel plans.
For international procurement teams, the scale of the Canton Fair matters because it allows direct comparison of suppliers, product specifications, manufacturing capabilities, packaging, documents and commercial terms within a short sourcing window.
The Ministry of Commerce states that the 140th Canton Fair will cover approximately 1.55 million square meters and is expected to include more than 30,000 participating enterprises. The previous 139th Canton Fair attracted 314,000 overseas buyers from 220 countries and regions. That previous-session figure is a benchmark for buyer participation, not a confirmed attendance number for the 140th session.
For buyers comparing fiber-based foodservice packaging, the value is practical: a booth meeting can shorten the path from catalog browsing to SKU selection, sample planning, document review and quote preparation.
Phase 2 of the 140th Canton Fair runs from October 23–27, 2026. The Ministry of Commerce identifies Phase 2 under the theme of Quality Home Life, with product sections connected to home living, housewares, kitchenware and tableware, gifts and related categories.
This sourcing context is relevant for buyers evaluating tableware, takeaway packaging, retail foodservice programs and private-label packaging. Zhongxin Packaging will display booth locations in Hall 5.2 and Hall 15.3, but buyers should use the current official floor plan for any final hall-category navigation. We do not infer 140th-session hall categories from older fair layouts.
The Ministry of Commerce describes the 140th Canton Fair with a focus on innovation, green development and intelligent development. It also notes that Phase 2 and Phase 3 will highlight design innovation and green, low-carbon development.
That broader fair direction is relevant to buyers comparing material alternatives for disposable foodservice packaging. It does not mean any single product material is officially endorsed by the Canton Fair. For bagasse or molded fiber packaging, buyers should still confirm finished-product performance, food-contact documents, compostability evidence where applicable, PFAS-related documentation and destination-market requirements by SKU.
Buyers can use the Zhongxin booth meeting to review product families that already appear on the Zhongxin website, including bagasse plates, compostable clamshell containers, bagasse bowls, food trays and broader food packaging options.
For projects that involve private-label packaging, custom product development or SKU adaptation, buyers can also prepare questions connected to OEM / ODM packaging support. Bring target application, dimensions, capacity, unit weight expectations, lid or compartment requirements, annual volume, destination market and required documents. The team can then review the project by SKU instead of making a broad product-family assumption.
A useful Canton Fair meeting should produce a clear next step. Buyers can prepare a short sourcing file before arriving at Hall 5.2 or Hall 15.3.
| Discussion Area | What to Bring | What Zhongxin Can Review |
|---|---|---|
| Product selection | Target product, size, capacity, compartment layout, lid need and food application. | Relevant standard items, sample options and SKU-level specification questions. |
| Packaging and logistics | Case quantity targets, carton mark needs, pallet requirement and destination market. | Packing configuration, carton data to confirm and container-loading questions. |
| Commercial planning | Estimated order volume, launch timing, forecast volume and sample deadline. | MOQ, lead time and quote preparation by product and order scope. |
| Custom projects | Drawing, reference sample, artwork need, private-label requirement and target retail channel. | OEM / ODM feasibility, mold discussion path and documentation needed for evaluation. |
| Compliance documents | Destination market, required claims, customer audit needs and document checklist. | Which food-contact, PFAS-related or compostability documents may apply to the selected SKU. |
Depending on the product and destination market, buyers may want to discuss product specifications, food-contact documentation, PFAS-related test documentation, compostability certification where applicable, packaging specifications, carton dimensions, loading information and other market-specific documents.
Document scope should be checked carefully. A PFAS report, food-contact declaration, compostability certificate or other compliance document may apply to a specific material, product family, SKU, certificate holder or market. Do not assume that a logo or broad statement covers every item in a purchase order. Buyers can review Zhongxin’s certifications page and ask the booth team which documents apply to the exact SKU and destination market they are sourcing for.
Use the questions below as a sourcing checklist during the meeting:
Bring target specifications, forecast volume, packaging requirements and destination market information to the booth. These details help convert a general conversation into an actionable RFQ.
Phase 2 takes place from October 23–27, 2026 in Guangzhou. Buyers should verify the latest registration, badge, visa or invitation and attendance requirements directly with the Canton Fair before travel. Rules, service windows and entry procedures can change before the opening date.
Start with the official Overseas Buyer Attendance Guide. For buyer services and pre-registration preparation, use the official Canton Fair Buyer Service System. For current fair announcements, use the official Canton Fair website rather than third-party exhibition directories.
Save our booth numbers before you arrive.

Booking before the fair helps Zhongxin prepare more relevant product information for your visit. Share the target SKU or product type, application, forecast volume, destination market, packaging needs, sample timeline and required documents. Where possible, our team can prepare a more focused discussion instead of starting from a full catalog review at the booth.
Schedule a Canton Fair Meeting
Some serious buyers may want to continue the discussion after the Canton Fair by reviewing production capabilities, quality-control process, relevant products and sourcing requirements in more detail. Zhongxin’s factory information can help buyers prepare questions before that discussion.
Factory visits should be discussed with the Zhongxin team in advance so availability, visitor requirements and the appropriate production or product focus can be reviewed. We do not assume travel time from Guangzhou, transportation support or guaranteed visit availability without confirmation.
The 140th Canton Fair is a short sourcing window. From October 23–27, 2026, buyers can meet Zhongxin Packaging in Guangzhou at Hall 5.2 booths A12–13 and B11–12, and Hall 15.3 booths G23–24 and H21–22. Bring your target product, specifications, annual or forecast volume, destination market, packaging requirements and required compliance documents.
To make the meeting more useful, contact Zhongxin Packaging before the fair and share your sourcing requirements. The clearer the RFQ context, the easier it is to discuss bagasse tableware, molded fiber food packaging, samples, documentation and next steps at the booth.
