PACK EXPO International brings the packaging and processing industry to McCormick Place. We build exhibits that display running packaging machinery and convert demos into orders.
PACK EXPO International turns McCormick Place into the global crossroads of packaging and processing every November of even-numbered years, drawing buyers from food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, and consumer goods who come specifically to see machinery run. Exhibiting effectively at PACK EXPO means showing motion, because a packaging or processing line that is actually operating stops aisle traffic in a way that static displays never will. We build PACK EXPO exhibit rentals around that principle. For machinery builders, we engineer reinforced platforms sized to your equipment, route the power that running lines require, and design safe, clear circulation around moving machinery so crowds can watch closely without risk, all coordinated with McCormick Place rigging and electrical jurisdiction. To concentrate attention, we frequently build a demo theater or presentation moment so you can run scheduled demonstrations to a gathered crowd rather than relying only on passers-by, with an LED wall and audio that explain the line as it runs. For material, component, and ingredient suppliers whose product is not a full machine, we design merchandising and sampling environments that make the product tangible and pair them with strong data visualization for the performance claims that drive packaging decisions. Behind the demonstration zones we build meeting space where your engineers and sales team can talk throughput, integration, validation, and pricing with serious buyers, and at island sizes we provide multiple rooms and hospitality so qualified prospects have a reason to stay. A structural hanging sign carries your brand across the enormous hall, and every graphic is produced in-house with silicone edge fabric and dye-sublimation so technical imagery, product photography, and brand color stay sharp under hall lighting and in the content your team will reuse. Because PACK EXPO is large and rental inventory for machinery-grade structures is finite, we recommend reserving design and hardware well ahead of the November move-in, and we manage the detailed power, rigging, and freight planning that a running-machinery stand demands. Sizing ranges from focused 10x20 stands for suppliers to 20x30 and 30x40 islands for machinery builders with running lines, theaters, and meeting rooms, all inside the published price bands. We deliver the program full-service, from a free 48-hour 3D rendering through install and dismantle, so you can show your lines in motion without buying or storing a major capital asset. Request your rendering and we will design a PACK EXPO stand built around your equipment in operation.
PACK EXPO International is held at McCormick Place in Chicago in November of even-numbered years, alternating with the Las Vegas edition. It is one of the largest packaging and processing shows in the world, drawing buyers across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods.
Yes. PACK EXPO exhibits center on live machinery, so we engineer reinforced platforms, route power for running lines, ensure safe circulation around moving equipment, and coordinate rigging and electrical with McCormick Place. We also build demo theaters to draw crowds to scheduled runs.
