PACK EXPO Las Vegas will mark its 30th anniversary with the 2025 edition, set for Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This year, the show will span over 1 million net sq. ft., feature 2,300 exhibitors and 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, 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.”

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.

PMMI will 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.

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.

Here’s a look at just a few of the equipment solutions exhibitors will introduce or highlight at the show.
