Pack Expo Intl. 2008 coverage

Check out our videos and podcasts from Pack Expo Intl. 2008.

Dec 3, 2008

Our crew of five full-time Packaging World staffers was joined by the packaging experts from Packaging and Technology Integrated Solutions (PTIS, packagingvalue.org) and automation expert Keith Campbell of www.ontheedgeblog.com. We mobilized to cover the show like never before, and perhaps like no other publication has done before.

Collectively, we scoured all of the McCormick Place halls over the show's five-day run to uncover the latest and most notable machinery, components, services, containers, materials, and announcements. We also attended the conference sessions, filing reports on topics from aseptic packaging to PackML.

You can see and hear our coverage in an exclusive archive of more than 50 reports, including numerous videos and Podcasts that can only be experienced online.
