The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) looks forward to seeing you at Pack Expo Las Vegas, October 13-15, 2003, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Since its debut in 1995, Pack Expo Las Vegas has continued to evolve in both size and scope. As one of the Western Hemisphere's leading industry showcases, Pack Expo Las Vegas 2003 will feature a wide array of proven solutions and educational opportunities designed to help you solve even the most challenging packaging problems.

We're especially excited at some of new features of Pack Expo Las Vegas, including our move to the Las Vegas Convention Center and a special Containers & Materials Pavilion.

The inaugural Containers & Materials Pavilion was designed with you, the package designer and brand marketer, in mind. More than 50,000 square feet of floor space will be dedicated to cost-effective structures that help enhance branding efforts without sacrificing barrier properties, machine capability, or versatility, including advancements in plastics, resins, films, paper, glass, metal, additives, coatings/treatments, rubber, textiles, and woven materials.

While we strive to add more value to each Pack Expo Las Vegas, we also recognize the importance of keeping its central benefits intact. You can still expect to see the latest advancements in packaging and converting machinery, materials, packages and containers, and components. And, as always, exhibitors will offer floor demonstrations and access to their top technical experts, allowing you to learn first-hand about the newest techniques and machinery from the people who design, build, and maintain these systems.
