PACK EXPO International and Healthcare Packaging EXPO 2018 wrapped as largest yet
October 31, 2018
Closing out another year of record-breaking events for the PACK EXPO Portfolio of Trade Shows, the largest ever PACK EXPO International and co-located Healthcare Packaging EXPO 2018 convened nearly 45,000 attendees with 2,500 exhibitors over 1.25 million net square feet at McCormick Place in Chicago.
PACK EXPO International 2018 will take place October 14–17 at McCormick Place in Chicago. PACK EXPO International annually showcases a wide range of packaging materials, containers and equipment.
Several of my BNP Media colleagues and I attended PACK EXPO, staged by PMMI at the Las Vegas Convention Center last week. More than 2,000 exhibitors displayed their processing and packaging capabilities and equipment for thousands of attendees from across the globe — attendees who undoubtedly hit the Strip to blow off steam after long days at the show.
The event boasts 30,000 attendees, including 5,000 international visitors from more than 125 coutnries, combined with 2,000-plus exhibiting companies spanning 800,000 sq. ft.
Registration is now open for the largest-ever PACK EXPO Las Vegas, co-located with the Healthcare Packaging EXPO, taking place September 25–27 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
At this year’s PACK EXPO International, Printpack will debut an easy tear polyethylene pouch featuring customizable moisture barrier, oxygen barrier and closures options.
