Fresh blood in the industry can be a good thing, at least that’s what PMMI hopes to prove at PACK EXPO East next week when packaging and engineering students will display and demonstrate their achievements. Hosted by PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, PACK EXPO East will take place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, February 16-18. The event will be the first processing and packaging trade show specifically for Northeastern manufacturers.
At booth #1067, students in Rutgers University’s elite packaging engineering program will present The Packaging Design Studio to demonstrate the latest student-developed packaging equipment. The new technologies on display will include automated systems for loading and unloading, custom-order snack mix production machines and innovative packaging prototypes, according to PMMI.
