SHANGHAI, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Southeast Asia continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing manufacturing and consumer markets, the packaging industry is undergoing rapid transformation driven by digitalisation, sustainability and supply chain diversification. Against this backdrop, WEPSEA 2026 (World Expo of Packaging Industry Southeast Asia), organised by RX (China) in strategic cooperation with the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), will take place from 27–29 August 2026 at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo), Indonesia.

Bringing together the complete packaging value chain, WEPSEA 2026 will showcase the latest innovations in corrugated packaging, folding cartons, digital printing, specialty paper, food packaging, converting technologies and packaging applications. More importantly, the event will feature 20+ conferences, workshops and networking activities, providing industry professionals with valuable market intelligence, technical insights and business development opportunities across Southeast Asia.

Opening Conference to Explore Southeast Asia’s Packaging Future

The exhibition will officially open with the Southeast Asia Packaging Industry Conference 2026, the flagship forum bringing together leaders from industry associations, market research organisations and leading enterprises across the region.

The conference will examine how paper and packaging companies can strengthen competitiveness amid growing sustainability requirements while identifying new growth opportunities across Southeast Asia. Discussions will also explore regional collaboration, evolving supply chain dynamics and investment prospects, offering strategic guidance for businesses seeking to expand in one of the world’s most promising packaging markets.

Additional sessions will focus on emerging industry trends, including digital printing for short-run production and packaging innovation driven by ESG initiatives in the food and beverage sector.

AI and Smart Manufacturing Take Centre Stage

Artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping packaging manufacturing, and WEPSEA 2026 will place these technologies at the heart of its conference programme.

The Next-Generation Smart Packaging Solutions Forum, taking place on 28 August, will showcase how AI-powered automation is improving productivity throughout the printing and packaging workflow.

Industry experts will present practical applications covering intelligent prepress automation, workflow optimisation and automated imposition technologies, demonstrating how digital solutions can improve operational efficiency while reducing production costs.

The forum will also feature a dedicated session led by Indonesian experts on Halal packaging labelling, helping international companies better understand certification requirements and branding opportunities in one of the world’s largest halal consumer markets.

Complementing the technical programme, the Printerpreneur Talk Show will bring together experienced business leaders to discuss practical cost-optimisation strategies through lightweight packaging materials—including corrugated and honeycomb paper—as well as print-on-demand production models.

Addressing Industry Challenges Through Innovation

As manufacturers face increasing pressure from rising raw material costs, geopolitical uncertainty and changing customer expectations, innovation has become essential for maintaining competitiveness.

The afternoon forum, “Navigating Challenges and Innovations in the Packaging Industry,” will explore how packaging companies can adapt to evolving market conditions through flexible manufacturing, advanced materials and sustainable business practices.

Experts will discuss the transition towards short-run production, innovative packaging materials, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and strategies for building resilient supply chains, providing valuable insights for companies pursuing long-term growth.

Hands-on Workshop Delivers Practical Packaging Expertise

Beyond keynote presentations, WEPSEA 2026 will offer an interactive workshop dedicated to solving the Top Ten Printing Challenges in FMCG Packaging.

Designed as a practical learning experience, the workshop will analyse real production cases covering common printing defects from artwork preparation through post-press finishing.

Participants will also join immersive “Packaging Detective” exercises, learning how to identify hidden prepress risks, inspect print registration, evaluate die-cutting quality and improve on-site quality control. The workshop is expected to deliver immediate value for production managers, quality engineers and packaging professionals seeking to enhance manufacturing performance.

Business Networking Beyond the Exhibition Floor

Creating meaningful business connections remains one of the defining features of WEPSEA 2026.

On 29 August, the exhibition will host an exclusive Business Networking Cocktail Reception, bringing together exhibitors, buyers, technology providers, converters, brand owners and industry associations in a relaxed setting designed to encourage cross-border collaboration and business matching.

Additional networking activities, including the PACT Alliance Indonesia Golf Invitational, will provide senior executives with further opportunities to strengthen industry relationships and explore new partnerships beyond the exhibition halls.

To enhance the overall visitor experience, organisers will also provide digital visitor tools, VIP hospitality services and comprehensive on-site support, enabling attendees to maximise both learning and business outcomes throughout the three-day event.

A Gateway to Southeast Asia’s Expanding Packaging Market

Positioned at the centre of this rapidly growing market, WEPSEA 2026 offers international suppliers, converters, packaging manufacturers, brand owners and buyers a unique opportunity to connect with the region’s expanding packaging ecosystem, discover cutting-edge technologies and establish long-term business partnerships.

From strategic market intelligence and technology sharing to hands-on workshops and high-value networking, WEPSEA 2026 is set to become one of Southeast Asia’s most influential gatherings for the global packaging industry, empowering businesses to unlock new opportunities and accelerate growth across the ASEAN market.

The minimal-ingredient whey protein powders are now available in 1.48 lb canisters at select Walmart locations nationwide, along with single-serve sachets in Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate.

JUPITER, Fla., Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Levels announced the launch of 1.48 lb canisters of Strawberry and Unflavored Whey Protein Powders, along with single-serve offerings in two of its most popular whey protein flavors, Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate.

Levels® Launches Strawberry and Unflavored Whey Protein Powders at Select Walmart Stores Nationwide

These four products join Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate 1.48 lb canisters already at Walmart stores across the U.S. The expanded flavor offerings broaden Walmart shoppers’ access to Levels’ whey protein, giving consumers new flavor and size options.

The Unflavored Whey Protein Powder boasts 25g of protein and 5.6g of BCAAs per scoop, with only two ingredients total. The Strawberry Whey Protein Powder contains 24g of protein and 5.4g of BCAAs per scoop, with only eight ingredients.

Both products hold the Clean Label Project® Purity Award. The rigorous testing screens for over 400 potential contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers, making it one of the most demanding certifications in the industry and one that’s held by less than 30% of brands in the space.

“Consumers are demanding better protein — products made with real ingredients they can actually trust,” said Blake Niemann, Founder & CEO of Levels. “Launching four flavors and sizes that are new to Walmart makes it easier than ever for people to enjoy high-quality whey protein made with minimal ingredients, transparent sourcing, and nothing artificial.”

“Walmart is a best-in-class retail partner for Levels, and we’re excited to bring new flavors and sizes to Walmart shoppers across the country. This continued expansion increases Levels’ Walmart distribution by nearly 120%, reinforcing the brand’s strong and growing presence at retail.”

In an industry beset by rising concerns about product safety and ingredient sourcing, Levels stands out with its radically simple approach and minimal 6–8 ingredient formulas. Levels sources grass-fed, hormone-free dairy to make its whey protein concentrate, the least-processed form of whey.

In addition to Walmart, Levels can be found at major retailers including Sam’s Club, Costco, Target, Kroger, Meijer, Wegmans, H-E-B, and Amazon. Levels products are also available online at levelsprotein.com and through leading retail websites.

About Levels
Founded by Blake Niemann, Levels was built on a simple belief: protein powder shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to understand. The brand builds its whey powders around high protein content, minimal ingredients, and flavors that are ridiculously good tasting — a formula that has driven distribution to a projected 10,000 retail locations and 30,000 points of distribution in 2026.

About Walmart
Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) serves customers at more than 10,500 stores and clubs in 19 countries, as well as at Walmart.com, with the purpose of saving people money so they can live better. Since 1962, Walmart has been committed to creating opportunities and bringing value to customers, associates, and communities around the world. Additional company information can be found by visiting the corporate website and press center.

Published

By

HOUSTON, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, today announced the availability of the SPARKX i7 Nano, the latest addition to its i7 series. This desktop 3D printer saves space while delivering premium print quality across up to four colors. With a minimalist design that fits easily on a desk, the i7 Nano makes multi-color 3D printing more compact, affordable, and accessible.

Following the January debut of the i7 Color Combo, the i7 Nano is also built for smarter, more effortless 3D printing. It integrates AI-powered capabilities that simplify both creation and printing, including CubeMe for automatically turning 2D portraits into multi-color 3D models. A built-in 720p AI camera monitors prints for common failures such as spaghetti and air printing, while vibration compensation and dynamic pressure adjustment help maintain consistent print quality.

Beyond these shared features, the i7 Nano comes with an integrated spool holder and optimized filament layout, taking up less desktop space and making it easier to fit into compact workspaces. The spool holder mounts directly onto the printer body with a convenient snap-on design, eliminating the need for an external CFS Lite. This compact solution keeps the printer’s footprint small while maintaining a clean appearance without compromising printing performance.

Paired with the new CFS nano Kit, a small unit mounted on top of the printer, the i7 Nano enables vibrant multi-color printing with automatic filament switching for up to four colors. The CFS nano features a dual-motor system, with one motor controlling filament channel switching and the other handling filament feeding and retraction. This ensures smooth and efficient color changes while keeping the overall setup streamlined. The CFS nano also allows quick installation without complex disassembly or modifications and is compatible with existing i7 units.

The i7 Nano features a build volume of 260 × 260 × 255 mm and a maximum printing speed of up to 500 mm/s. It supports a hardened steel nozzle with a maximum temperature of 300°C and multiple nozzle diameters, including 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm. It is also equipped with automatic bed leveling, RFID filament reading and automatic filament refill to deliver an easy-to-use and reliable printing experience for beginners.

The SPARKX i7 Nano with CFS nano Kit will be available starting from August 15 for $299 in the U.S. at the Creality US Store.
