Planning Your PACK EXPO Visit
PMMI frames 2025 as a milestone year: three days, one campus, and a deep bench of solutions serving 40+ vertical markets. For teams driving reuse, asset visibility, and line efficiency, the scale lets you validate claims side-by-side and move faster from concept to pilot.
Anchor your map around these zones:
Reusable Packaging Pavilion (sponsored by the Reusable Packaging Association): platforms, components, and case studies that reduce waste, cut costs, and improve turns. Most RTP labeling, washing, and program-ops conversations start here.
Logistics Pavilion: warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution solutions, DC automation, and last-mile efficiency.
Sustainability Central: expert-led sessions translating climate and circularity targets into practical design, sourcing, reporting, and compliance decisions.
Containers and Materials Pavilion: fast comparisons across paperboard, glass, metal, plastics, and flexibles if you’re balancing reuse and recyclable one-way formats.
Healthcare Packaging Pavilion: regulated-environment handling and cold-chain visibility.
Innovation Stage / Processing Innovation Stage: 30-minute supplier and SME talks—good for quick briefings before a deeper booth visit.
Use My Show Planner
Use My Show Planner to build a must-see route and sync it to the PACK EXPO Mobile App (sponsored by ProMach) for turn-by-turn navigation, demo alerts, and easy calendar adds. PMMI will also beta-test AI Category Search and I Search Pilot at the PMMI Booth; worth a stop if you’re triangulating multiple technologies and don’t want to miss adjacent offerings. The Attendee Solutions Center and Ask the Experts can help you finalize itineraries and troubleshoot technical questions on site.
Several events provide strong networking opportunities:
PACK gives BACK™ (sponsored by Rockwell Automation): private performance of Mystère by Cirque du Soleil®, Sunday, Sept. 28; proceeds support the PMMI Foundation.
Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network Breakfast, Tuesday, Sept. 30: leadership expert and organizational psychologist Alison Fragale on power, influence, and career growth.
Young Professionals Networking Reception, Monday, Sept. 29, 7:00–9:00 p.m., The Cove Bar & Arcade at Treasure Island (sponsored by Beckhoff Automation).
Vision 2030: invite-only forums for PMMI members and CPG operations leaders to pressure-test strategy on the sector’s biggest challenges.
Students and Early-Career Talent
The Future Innovators Robotics Showcase puts high school teams on the floor, while the Amazing Packaging Race (Wednesday, Oct. 1, sponsored by Emerson) sends university teams problem-solving booth to booth—both solid stops if you’re scouting interns or new grads who already speak automation.
In conclusion, wrap up your plan, start with our supporters (ILS SL-11028, ORBIS SU-34002, Polyfuze SU-36017), and use My Show Planner plus the mobile app to stay on schedule. Focus day one on the Reusable Packaging Pavilion, and then explore the rest of the show!
