The Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association has made it easy for attendees to plan their visit to this year’s AUSPACK, with the Exhibitor Directory now live on the event’s website.

Scheduled for 17-20 May at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, AUSPACK 2022 will treat visitors to the latest technology to help make their business more efficient, as well as have the chance to seek out innovative companies that can provide sustainable packaging options and otherproduct advances.

This year, more than 250 suppliers representing hundreds of global brands will be on the show floor, offering visitors solutions that address a range of industry trends and themes, as well as see first-hand products that offer enhanced safety, security, automation and cost-saving benefits.

The exhibition floor will also feature an array of new zones: IT & Services, Processing Equipment, Packaging and Packaging Materials, and Packaging Machinery. 

Easy to navigate, the directory allows visitors to find exactly what they're looking for with its brand-new filters, which covers a variety of categories, from bottle sleeves to cobots. 

It also comes with a wishlist feature, which allows users to create a personal list of exhibitors and products they would like to see at the event by simply clicking on the heart icon next to it. Users can access, email or download their wishlist at any time.

Tickets to the exhibition and Solutions Theatre are free and now available, simply registe here. Tickets to attend the AUSPACK Leaders Forum and APPMA Awards of Excellence Gala night will be available in the coming weeks direct from the AUSPACK website.
