Every three years, PACK EXPO International brings together the companies shaping the future of packaging, processing, automation, and labeling. With only two months remaining until PACK EXPO International 2026, manufacturers are finalizing travel plans, scheduling meetings, and deciding which technologies deserve a closer look.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract packaging organizations (CPOs), medical device companies, and production engineers, the exhibition is more than just another trade show. It is an opportunity to compare equipment side by side, discuss production challenges with equipment specialists, and evaluate automation solutions before making major capital investments.
If you’re attending this October, planning ahead can make the difference between simply walking the exhibition floor and returning with practical solutions that improve your production line.
What Is PACK EXPO International?
PACK EXPO International is one of the largest packaging and processing exhibitions in North America. Thousands of professionals attend to explore new technologies, compare equipment, and meet directly with manufacturers across industries such as:
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Biotechnology
- Medical devices
- Food and beverage
- Personal care
- Consumer packaged goods
- Industrial manufacturing
Instead of relying on brochures or online videos, visitors can see equipment operating live, ask technical questions, and discuss real production challenges with engineers who design and support the systems.
Why PACK EXPO 2026 Is Worth Attending
Manufacturing continues to evolve rapidly. Companies are under pressure to increase throughput while maintaining product quality, meeting regulatory requirements, and reducing operating costs.
At this year’s exhibition, visitors can expect to see advances in:
- Packaging automation
- Variable data printing
- Vision inspection systems
- Pharmaceutical labeling
- Serialization and traceability
- Smart manufacturing technologies
- Production line integration
Seeing these technologies in person makes it easier to evaluate how they could fit into an existing production process.
Plan Before You Arrive
PACK EXPO covers a vast exhibition space, and it’s impossible to explore every booth in a single day.
A few simple steps can help you make the most of your visit:
- Review the exhibitor list before travelling.
- Schedule meetings with companies you want to visit.
- Prepare a list of production challenges or upcoming projects.
- Bring sample containers, labels, or application details if you need technical advice.
- Leave time to discover new technologies you weren’t originally planning to see.
Visitors who arrive with a clear plan often leave with more valuable contacts and better solutions.
Visit Newman Labelling Ltd at Booth W-19030
One of the highlights for pharmaceutical manufacturers this year will be the opportunity to see the Newman NVS2 Syringe Labeler operating live.
Rather than displaying equipment statically, the Newman team will demonstrate a complete working system throughout the exhibition.
Visitors can meet the engineering team, discuss application requirements, and see how labeling, printing, and inspection work together in real time.
Live Demonstration: Newman NVS2 Syringe Labeler
The demonstration system combines three proven technologies into one integrated solution:
- Newman NVS2 Syringe Labeler
- Videojet Variable Data Printing
- Keyence Vision Inspection
Seeing the system in operation allows visitors to understand how each stage of the process works together to improve labeling accuracy, product identification, and inspection performance.
Demonstration Features
The NVS2 system supports:
- Glass and plastic syringes
- Cylindrical containers from 8–30 mm
- Production speeds up to 120 containers per minute
- Label sizes from 10 × 20 mm through 120 × 100 mm
- Stainless-steel cGMP-oriented construction
- Positive syringe handling with an indexing starwheel
- Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC controls
- Quick-release change parts for faster product changeovers
- Videojet variable-data printing
- Keyence vision inspection
- Optional OCR, OCV, barcode verification, missing-label detection, and reject verification
Instead of reading specifications in a catalog, visitors will have the opportunity to see the complete process running live and discuss how it could be adapted to their own production requirements.
Bring Your Application Questions
Every production environment is different.
Whether you’re introducing a new product, expanding capacity, or replacing older equipment, the Newman team welcomes visitors to discuss:
- Sample containers
- Label materials
- Production speeds
- Compliance requirements
- Existing labeling challenges
- Future automation projects
These conversations often provide practical ideas that go beyond standard product demonstrations.
Who Should Visit Booth W-19030?
The Newman demonstration will be particularly valuable for:
- Pharmaceutical manufacturers
- Contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs)
- Contract packaging organizations (CPOs)
- Medical device manufacturers
- Biotechnology companies
- Packaging engineers
- Production managers
- Validation specialists
- Quality assurance professionals
If your operation involves precise labeling of syringes or other cylindrical containers, the demonstration offers an opportunity to evaluate equipment in a real-world setting.
