Take Time to Explore PROCESS EXPO, International Dairy Show 
and InterBev Process

With many print service providers looking to tap into the lucrative sector of packaging, a new opportunity is now in play at GRAPH EXPO 15. Featuring trending industry issues and innovations related to food packaging, beverage processing and packing, PROCESS EXPO, International Dairy Show
and InterBev Process Shows, is running Sept. 15-18 in the North and East Halls of McCormick Place.

GRAPH EXPO attendees are able to take advantage of the two-day overlap, with full access admission to the exhibit halls for both events. PROCESS EXPO (implemented with support from its show partner, interpack), delivers a unique opportunity for printers, packagers, processors, and converters to network and explore the global scope of the packaging/processing industries, specifically as it relates to beverage, dairy and food packaging.

According to Smithers Pira’s The Future of Global Packaging to 2018, medium-term forecasts for food packaging demand indicate a potential growth rate of 3.4% on average to 2018, by which stage it will be valued at about $284 billion. Consumption of drinks packaging over the period is projected to increase at a rate of 3.3% on average per year until 2018, reaching a value of $102 billion.

PROCESS EXPO features exhibitors displaying the latest technology in food and beverage processing and packaging, highlighting packaging innovations for these industries.

For GRAPH EXPO attendees, PROCESS EXPO offers an opportunity to network with, and learn from, professionals in the global food and beverage industry. For GRAPH EXPO exhibitors, it offers the opportunity to showcase the latest technologies in graphic communications to attendees not traditionally found at a graphics exposition.
