Every year since 1971, a select number of career packaging professionals have been inducted into the Packaging Hall of Fame™ in recognition of significant contributions made to both the industry and to packaging education efforts. Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI, www.pmmi.org) serves as the coordinating organization for this tradition of honoring packaging leadership. Once nominations are received, members of the Packaging Hall of Fame Commission, a group representative of various sectors of the packaging community, formed by PMMI, will select the inductees.

The Class of 2008 Packaging Hall of Fame™ inductees will be recognized during a fund-raising awards reception at the Hyatt McCormick Hotel on Tuesday, Nov. 11 during PACK EXPO Intl. 2008. The show runs from Sunday, Nov. 9 until Thursday, Nov. 12 at McCormick Place, Chicago.
