Contract packaging will be the focus of a special presentation at Pack Expo Las Vegas in September.

The Contract Packaging Association (CPA) will highlight the benefits of contract packagers in a 30-minute session at the Innovation Stage.

Presented by CPA's Nicole Johnson, the talk will focus on the capabilities and value of contract packagers and contract manufacturers for brand owners. It will be held on 29 September at 3pm.

The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies (PMMI) CEO Charles D. Yuska said contract packagers provided a strong value proposition for many consumers.

“We’re also happy to have them as part of the Pack Expo Partner program,” he said.

Pack Expo is co-located with Pharma Expo, and between the two shows they expect to attract 30,000 packaging and processing professionals as visitors, and more than 2000 exhibiting companies.

The event will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Centre from 28 to 30 September.
