The Biennial event, a launch pad for packaging and processing breakthroughs, has experienced significant expansion and impact.
HEARNDON, VA – July 21, 2025 – One of North America’s most comprehensive packaging and processing events, Pack Expo Las Vegas celebrates the 2025 milestone 30 years after the show’s debut. Today, Pack Expo Las Vegas continues to be a global hub of industrial innovation and collaboration.
Show producer PMMI, the Packaging and Processing Technology Association, has taken Pack Expo Las Vegas from a regional trade fair to a global industrial force. This year, the show will feature over 1 million square feet, featuring 2,300 exhibitors and hopes to attract 35,000 participants from over 40 vertical markets.
“We are pleased to announce that Jim Pittas, PMMI’s president and CEO, said: “For 30 years, we have been proud to promote innovation, promote collaboration and spotlight the technologies that will shape tomorrow’s supply chain. Looking ahead, we continue to focus on the power to transform the industry, automation, AI, sustainability and workforce development.”
Since its launch in 1995, each Show Edition has introduced cutting-edge technology, ranging from early automation solutions to current advances in AI, robotics and sustainable packaging solutions. Pack Expo Las Vegas has been at the forefront of innovation for the past 30 years and continues to evolve like the industry it serves. for example:
In 2015, Shaw brought a new focus on pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing, eventually growing into today’s healthcare packaging pavilion, highlighting the diversification of the show’s specialization. The growing demand for logistics solutions driven by a surge in e-commerce and supply chain complexity led to the introduction of logistics pavilions in 2023. Processing zones featuring frontline solutions, and stages of processing innovation have been added to provide all the places that all food and drink manufacturers need to improve their production. Las Vegas has become a destination for the entire industry converging thanks to the added learning phase. Thought leaders of the Pack Expo Las Vegas Partner Program provide valuable insights and resources to their peers. Sustainability Central debuted in 2023 and has evolved into a must-see show floor destination with educational sessions covering sustainability. Expert-led sessions help participants navigate the complexity of this issue and what it means for the brand. In 2025, participants will also be offering a curated experience with two new guided show floor tours. The Formic-sponsored Pack Expo Discovery tour is perfect for first-time buyers and senior-level decision makers. The Pack Expo Sustainability Tour, hosted by Anchor Package, is tailored for consumer packaged product (CPG) brand owners who are looking for an eco-friendly solution.
PMMI will continue to showcase today by proudly celebrating the PMMI member companies that were part of their first show in 1995, and highlighting each company with a special PMMI Legacy Member exhibitor Placard in its booth. The complete list of these members can be found here. Their support helped shape the industry’s heritage of innovation and excellence and the continued growth of Pack Expo Las Vegas.
Beyond the exhibition, Pack Expo Las Vegas offers over 100 free educational sessions on the show floor and eight specialist pavilions covering healthcare, confectionery, materials, materials, processing, logistics, education and workforce development, industry association partners, and reusable packaging.
“As the industry accelerates towards smarter, more sustainable businesses, Pack Expo Las Vegas is one place where it all comes together: technology, insights, and community. This year’s show reflects the momentum seen across the market, reflecting record-breaking participation and unconnected opportunities.
