Another CES is in the books! It is hard to believe, but this year marks a full decade of Zenpack‘s attendance at this global stage for innovation. Over the last 10 years—whether we were walking the floor or hosting our own booth—we’ve watched the landscape change. But CES 2026 felt distinctively different.
From Concept to Maturity: The 2026 Shift
As expected, the show floor was dominated by AI and Robotics, but the focus has shifted. Compared to 2025, which was largely about explaining concepts and possibilities, 2026 is defined by maturity and clarity.
The technologies we saw this year are grounded and ready for the real world. We’ve moved past the “hype” phase into practical application. Additionally, we noticed a significant increase in B2B enterprise solutions. It’s clear that innovation is no longer just about consumer gadgets; it’s rapidly scaling into robust infrastructure that solves real business problems.
We also saw a massive presence of Health & Wellness technology, further proving that these “landed” products are ready to play a proactive role in our daily lives
The Energy of Innovation
Eureka Park remains the show’s heartbeat. The energy there is unmatched, and we were particularly impressed by the sheer scale and diversity of the Korean pavilion this year—arguably one of the most vibrant sections of the entire expo.
Celebrating a Decade of Zenpack
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we hosted “ZENPACK: Pack & Pour” at the Skyfall Lounge in the W Hotel. With stunning views of Las Vegas, we brought together long-time clients and some of the most exciting new startups we discovered on the show floor.
It was an evening of great food, drinks, and even better conversations. We didn’t just discuss business; we shared our outlooks for the year and explored how we can support these emerging technologies through smarter packaging design.
Thank You!
A huge thank you to our partners who joined us and have supported us over the years. We look forward to building on these connections throughout the year. Here is to a 2026 full of meaningful collaborations and new possibilities!
