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. 

Show producer PMMI, The Association 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 square feet, 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,” said Jim Pittas, president and CEO, PMMI. “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. For example:

• The growing demand for logistics solutions, driven by the surge in e-commerce and supply chain complexities, led to the introduction of the Logistics Pavilion in 2023.
• The Processing Zone, featuring front-of-the-line solutions, and the Processing Innovation Stage, were added to provide everything food and beverage manufacturers need to improve production, all in one place.
• Sustainability Central debuted in 2023 and has evolved into a must-visit show floor destination with educational sessions covering sustainability, one of the most multifaceted challenges the packaging and processing industry faces today. Expert-led sessions will help attendees navigate the complexities of this issue and what it means for their brands.

Also, in 2025, two new guided show floor 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.

Beyond the exhibits, PACK EXPO Las Vegas offers more than 100 free educational sessions on the show floor and eight specialty pavilions covering healthcare, confectionery, containers and materials, processing, logistics, education and workforce development, industry association partners, and reusable packaging.

Attendee registration for PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025 is open.
