Great Connections. Smarter Packaging. PACK EXPO 2026 Recap
Highlights from PACK EXPO International 2026
PACK EXPO International 2026 was a great opportunity to reconnect with customers, meet new faces, and exchange ideas about the packaging challenges manufacturers face every day.
At the Allen Field booth, we showcased packaging components designed to make packaging easier to assemble, safer to handle, more secure, and more efficient.
Plastic handles, hooks, hangers, and kraft components
Solutions That Sparked Conversations
From carrying handles and box fastening solutions to reusable packaging components and retail display aids, our booth featured practical solutions for common packaging challenges.
Visitors explored ways to:
- Improve handling with comfortable, reliable carrying handles.
- Simplify assembly with fastening solutions that reduce reliance on straps, staples, and tape.
- Support reusability with components that make packages easier to open, close, and reuse.
- Enhance retail presentation with display hooks and merchandising components designed for faster setup and better product organization.
The Best Part? The Conversations.
One takeaway stood out: Almost everyone we spoke with had a packaging problem they’ve learned to live with.
Boxes arriving damaged. Packaging processes slowed by straps, staples, or tape. Packaging discarded when it could have been reused.
These conversations reminded us why the right packaging component matters. Sometimes, a small change can make a meaningful difference in how a package is assembled, handled, shipped, or reused.
Our high-capacity, compact machine can apply up to *11,000 units per hour accurately and consistently.
