PACK EXPO Las Vegas, one of North America’s most comprehensive packaging and processing events is celebrating a milestone: 2025 marks 30 years since the show’s debut. Today, PACK EXPO Las Vegas continues to be a global hub for industry innovation and collaboration. The three-day event will be held Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at the Convention Ctr. in Las Vegas, NV.
Show producer PMMI, the Assn. for Packaging and Processing Technologies, has elevated PACK EXPO Las Vegas from a regional trade show to a global industry force—expanding its scale, influence, and relevance across international markets. This year, the show will span over 1 million net sq feet of display space, feature 2,300 exhibitors, and expects to attract 35,000 attendees from more than 40 vertical markets.
“PACK EXPO Las Vegas has always been more than a trade show—it’s where the future of packaging and processing takes shape,” says Jim Pittas, PMMI President/CEO. “For 30 years, we’ve been proud to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and spotlight the technologies shaping tomorrow’s supply chains. As we look ahead, we remain focused on the forces transforming our industry: automation, AI, sustainability, and workforce development. ”Since its launch in 1995, each show edition has introduced cutting-edge technologies, from the earliest automation solutions to today’s advances in AI, robotics, and sustainable packaging solutions. PACK EXPO Las Vegas has been at the forefront of innovations over the past 30 years and continues to evolve like the industry it serves.”
This year, two new guided showfloor tours will offer attendees curated experiences. The PACK EXPO Discovery Tours, sponsored by Formic, are ideal for first-time buyers and senior-level decision-makers looking for automation solutions to streamline and optimize various stages of packaging and processing. The PACK EXPO Sustainability Tour, sponsored by Anchor Packaging, is tailored for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand owners seeking eco-conscious solutions.
PMMI will proudly honor the PMMI Member Companies that were part of the inaugural 1995 show and continue to exhibit today by highlighting each company with a special PMMI legacy member exhibitor placard in their booths. Their support has helped shape the legacy of innovation and excellence that defines this industry and the continued growth of PACK EXPO Las Vegas.
Beyond the exhibits, PACK EXPO Las Vegas offers more than 100 free educational sessions on the showfloor and eight specialty pavilions covering healthcare, confectionery, containers and materials, processing, logistics, education and workforce development, industry association partners, and reusable packaging. Converting Quarterly will exhibit with its parent, the Association for Roll-to-Roll Converters (ARC), in Booth W-124.
“As the industry accelerates toward smarter, more sustainable operations, PACK EXPO Las Vegas remains the one place where it all comes together—technology, insight, and community. This year’s show reflects the momentum we’re seeing across the market, with record participation and unmatched opportunities to learn, connect, and grow,” adds Laura Thompson, vp-trade shows, PMMI.
