CPP EXPO Announces 2006 Dates in Chicago

PARAMUS, N.J.—Organizers of CPP EXPO have announced that the show will expand its reach and size with confirmed dates and location for 2006. The event will co-locate with PACK EXPO International and Food Processing Machinery EXPO in Chicago's McCormick Place over the dates of October 29-November 2, 2006. This cooperative initiative is an unprecedented demonstration of the supply chain from package design and conception to product placement on the shelf.

Leo Nadolske, president of CPP EXPO, comments, "It is just a natural fit for converting and packaging to be together. Positive results have been generated by our 2005 cooperative marketing effort with PMMI, and we anticipate significant growth of the CPP EXPO brand as we move forward. Our goal for 2006 and beyond is to match or exceed the number of industry associations partnering with us while ensuring that all aspects of the diverse converting process are addressed at a gathering of this magnitude."

Bringing CPP EXPO together with PACK EXPO allows for expansion into all sectors of the converting/package printing industry with the ability to offer converters one-stop-shopping from materials to printing supplies to adhesives and coatings to slitting, rewinding and finishing equipment. From pre-press to labeling, from flexo printing on film, folding carton or corrugated, the goal is to have all solutions available while maintaining an interactive environment for converters, packagers and CPGs to make decisions in concert thus saving valuable time and money.

"We are looking forward to working with CPP Expo and the co-location in 2006," added Charles D. Yuska, president of PMMI. "It is critical that we continue to offer a full range of packaging solutions to our attendees to ensure they remain competitive and successful in today's challenging business environment."
