Plant engineers can compare a production line with its inspection, labeling, handling and material requirements as parts of a connected project. The mix spans food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care and other consumer industries, with purchasing, operations, R&D and brand teams alongside equipment specialists.

PMMI's biennial Las Vegas show has grown beyond a packaging-machine exhibition. More than 2,300 exhibitors took part in 2025, when the floor reached one million net square feet. Dedicated areas for processing, logistics, reusable packaging and printed packaging give different disciplines a place within the broader show. Floor-stage education connects the equipment demonstrations with questions about automation, recyclability and regulation. For a manufacturer considering a substantial production change, the draw is the ability to examine the machine, the pack and the upstream process together.

How it compares

  1. PACK EXPO SoutheastAtlanta, every two years
  2. This show: PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027every two years
  3. PACK EXPO InternationalChicago, every two years

PACK EXPO International in Chicago is the closest comparison. Both are broad PMMI shows built around packaging and processing suppliers, but they occupy alternating years in the national calendar. Chicago suits a team whose investment cycle aligns with that show; Las Vegas provides the next national opportunity to compare suppliers without waiting for another Chicago cycle. The practical choice starts with when a line project needs vendor evaluation, then with which suppliers will demonstrate the relevant equipment.

PACK EXPO Southeast takes that supplier model closer to manufacturing teams around Atlanta and the southeastern United States. It is a useful regional option when a plant wants a more local visit across several packaging and processing needs. Las Vegas earns a longer trip when the team needs a broader comparison of machines, materials and process technologies across consumer sectors. Its Food & Beverage Processing area and reusable-packaging program are especially relevant when changing the process or transport system as well as the final pack.

PACK EXPO Las Vegas suits manufacturing teams comparing an entire packaging operation, from upstream processing to the finished pack and its handling.

Who exhibits

BluePrint Automation, Marchesini Group USA and Lantech show the machinery side of the exhibitor mix, while SIG adds packaging systems and Eriez brings separation and inspection expertise. Their presence makes the floor useful to teams tracing a problem across several parts of a line. Food-processing suppliers share the event with packaging, labeling and material specialists, so a visitor can compare process requirements with the equipment and packaging choices that follow them.

PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027

The Digital Transformation Pavilion debuts at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027, bringing software for consumer-goods manufacturers into the same setting as production equipment. Food & Beverage Processing, Logistics, Reusable Packaging and PACKage Printing remain part of the floor mix. PMMI expects 2,300 exhibitors and more than 30,000 industry professionals. The education program spans new equipment, processing, sustainability, industry case studies and reusable-packaging systems, giving teams a way to connect individual demonstrations with wider operational questions.

  • Pair visits to the Food & Beverage Processing area with packaging-machine demonstrations when a change in product preparation could affect filling or wrapping.
  • Use the Reusable Packaging Learning Center to test the return logistics and operating requirements behind a proposed reusable-packaging system.
  • Compare Digital Transformation Pavilion software with the production equipment it would monitor or coordinate; the new pavilion brings both sides of that discussion onto the same show floor.

Exhibiting

PACK EXPO Las Vegas suits suppliers able to demonstrate machinery or explain a material's role in a production line. Booth allocation uses separate Las Vegas priority standings, with PMMI members selecting before nonmembers. Membership class affects space rates, and the included drayage benefit depends on meeting the assigned freight check-in condition. A contracted booth also includes a basic directory listing; optional visibility packages and Sales Accelerator are separate choices.
