PACK EXPO International will also be co-located with PROCESS EXPO, formerly the Food Processing Machinery EXPO, which will feature the newest developments in processing technology. CPP EXPO highlights all sectors of the diverse For example, the Converting and Package Printing Expo (CPP EXPO) will co-locate with PACK EXPO International for the first time. Several new features are also being planned for this year's event, exemplifying PMMI's commitment for the show to evolve with the industry. "The exhibits as well as the Conference at PACK EXPO sessions in 2006 will provide a diverse and fascinating preview of the many ways packaging will evolve in the years ahead." "In response to market demands, the future is likely to see the emergence of a strong third-party professional packaging sector in which packaging machinery manufacturers independently, and in alliances with others, offer an expanded range of customer operations management services including assessing needs, developing solutions and optimizing the production-to-consumption supply chain." Packaging professionals will have an opportunity to explore these trends- and many others-firsthand at PACKĮXPO International 2006 this fall. "We are entering a period in which packaging will become an increasingly automated process driven by developments in mechatronics, laser scanning, radio frequency transmissions, nano technology and system simplification," continues Miyares. So what will the next 50 years bring? Continued advances in automating not only the coding, filling, labeling, closing and case packing of packages, but the actual production of packages at the point of filling. That was the world into which PACK EXPO was born. The easy-opening can had not yet been invented and the concept of forming, filling and sealing packages in house was still a pretty novel idea." "Beer and soft drinks were packed in three-piece tinplate cans and packaging machinery was largely dedicated to running (coding, filling, labeling, capping, case packing) containers that were produced at distant locations. "When PACK EXPO first opened its doors in 1956, glass was still the dominant primary container packaging material for food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and toiletries and household chemicals," says Ben Miyares, vice president of Industry Relations for PMMI. ![]() More than 50,000 attendees are expected, including over 6,000 international visitors from more than 75 countries.

The industry knows PACK EXPO is a show that highlights innovation across all aspects of packaging. "The show's longevity can be attributed to its consistent future focus. Yuska, president of PMMI, sponsor and producer of the PACK EXPO shows. "The 50th anniversary of PACK EXPO is a great milestone," says Charles D. Originating in October 1956, PACK EXPO has evolved into the preeminent industry event drawing an international audience of 50,000 packaging professionals to review a diverse range of advanced, high performance materials and equipment. ARLINGTON, Va.-The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) announced today that PACK EXPO will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2006.
