PMMI Announces Finalist Packages For Inaugural 'Pack Expo Selects'
The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) has chosen 15 new and innovative commercial packaging projects as finalists in its inaugural Pack Expo Selects program. This new, interactive feature of the Pack Expo International show will run the length of the expo, from Sunday, October 29 to Thursday, November 2, 2006 at Chicago's McCormick Place. The Pack Expo Selects program is a featured display and electronic voting program that will allow packaging professionals attending Pack Expo to recognize innovative packaging designs, structures, and processes by voting for their favorite Pack Expo Selects packaging project. All packages in the Pack Expo Selects program were developed, produced, or executed by exhibitors at Pack Expo International. 
Results of the packaging professionals' preferences will be released each day in the Show Daily, with a final tally announced shortly after the conclusion of the show. The Pack Expo Selects awards program is the newest addition to The Showcase of Packaging Innovations™, a popular Pack Expo show pavilion, and is sponsored by The Dow Chemical Company. Attendees will be able to cast votes via their My Pack Expo portal, which will be accessible from Product Locator Kiosks located throughout the convention center. "This is the only industry awards program that recognizes the contributions made by packaging materials, machinery, and service providers," says Charles D. Yuska, president of PMMI. "It presents an ideal opportunity for peer recognition while also recognizing the key role partnerships play in seeing a package concept through to fruition." Each nominated package has been developed, designed, converted, or produced by one or more Pack Expo International 2006 exhibitors. In the Pack Expo Selects display, each package will have an adjacent placard recognizing all participating companies and providing a brief description of the packaging project.
