Zray made a strong impression at the recent International Packaging Exhibition, showcasing its comprehensive full packaging solutions lineup and drawing significant interest from buyers across CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries. The exhibition, one of the largest packaging industry events in the region, provided an ideal platform for Zray to demonstrate its complete range of carton forming machines and integrated packaging automation systems.

Visitors to the Zray booth were treated to live demonstrations of the company’s latest carton forming equipment, including high-speed single-piece carton formers, automatic case erectors, and fully integrated packaging line solutions. The company’s engineering and sales teams were on hand to provide technical consultations, discuss custom application requirements, and explore partnership opportunities with attendees from across the CIS region and beyond.

Full Packaging Solutions on Display

Zray’s exhibition stand featured a carefully curated selection of equipment designed to illustrate the company’s full packaging solutions capability. At the center of the booth, a working single-piece carton forming machine ran continuous demonstrations, producing high-quality corrugated cartons at production speed and allowing visitors to see firsthand the machine’s precision, reliability, and ease of operation.

Complementing the live equipment display were interactive presentations covering Zray’s complete product portfolio, from individual carton forming machines to turnkey packaging lines that integrate feeding, forming, sealing, and palletizing functions. The company also showcased its digital solutions, including remote monitoring systems, predictive maintenance platforms, and production analytics software that help customers optimize their packaging operations.

“The response from CIS country buyers has been particularly strong,” said Zray’s international sales manager. “Many companies in the region are looking to upgrade their packaging capabilities to meet growing consumer demand and improve production efficiency. Our full packaging solutions approach—where we provide everything from equipment design and manufacturing to installation, training, and after-sales support—really resonates with these customers.”

Visitors from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, and other CIS countries accounted for a significant portion of the qualified leads generated during the exhibition. Many expressed interest in Zray’s specialized logistics support for the region, including dedicated spare parts warehouses and localized service teams.

Why CIS Buyers Are Choosing Zray

Several factors have contributed to Zray’s growing popularity among CIS country packaging buyers. First and foremost is the company’s reputation for building robust, reliable carton forming machines that can handle the demanding production environments common in the region. The equipment’s ability to operate consistently across a wide range of temperatures and conditions is particularly valued by CIS customers.

Second, Zray’s comprehensive after-sales support network—including local spare parts inventory and Russian-speaking technical support—addresses a key concern for many CIS buyers who have previously struggled with long lead times for parts and service from Western European suppliers. The company’s recent launch of a special logistics channel for Russia and CIS countries has further strengthened its position in the market.

Third, Zray’s competitive pricing and flexible customization options make its solutions accessible to a wide range of businesses, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large industrial manufacturers. The company works closely with each customer to understand their specific packaging requirements and develop tailored solutions that deliver maximum value.

Industry Trends and Market Outlook

The International Packaging Exhibition also highlighted several key trends shaping the packaging industry in CIS countries and globally. Sustainability continues to be a major focus, with growing demand for packaging solutions that reduce material waste and energy consumption. Zray’s carton forming machines, with their high precision forming that minimizes cardboard waste and energy-efficient drive systems, align well with this trend.

Automation and digitalization are another major trend, as manufacturers seek to reduce labor costs, improve consistency, and increase production flexibility. Zray’s smart packaging solutions, featuring IoT connectivity, remote monitoring, and data-driven optimization, are well-positioned to meet these evolving needs.

The exhibition also underscored the growing importance of the CIS packaging market, which is experiencing steady growth driven by expanding retail sectors, increasing e-commerce penetration, and ongoing industrial modernization efforts across the region. For Zray, the strong interest from CIS buyers at the exhibition confirms the company’s strategic focus on this important market.

As Zray continues to expand its presence in CIS countries and other international markets, the company remains committed to delivering innovative, reliable, and cost-effective full packaging solutions that help customers succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. The success at this year’s International Packaging Exhibition is a strong indicator of continued growth and opportunity ahead.
