SuperCorrExpo Features 200 Entries For Box Manufacturing ‘Olympics’ A major highlight of TAPPI/AICC’s SuperCorrExpo 2021, August 8-12, in Orlando, Florida, is the premier of the Box Manufacturing Olympics (BMO) on the trade show floor. BMO, an elite corrugated competition, combines TAP- PI’s biennial CorrPak and AICC’s Packaging Design event for the very first time. For years, these two competitions have showcased talent across the industry and around the world ranging from simple sophistication to comprehen- sively creative – designed and produced by both integrat- ed and independent box plant employees. With four years of innovation and technological ad- vancements since SCE 2016, and another year of pent-up creativity ready to burst onto the scene, participating com- panies have captured the excitement and fervor of SCE 2021 with nearly 200 unique and exceptional entries. A team of independent judges will critique each entry and award “Best of Industry” honors, among others, to the win- ners in each category. Attendees will also have the oppor- tunity to participate by voting for the “Attendees’ Choice” winner. “After a year of forced lockdowns coupled with an in- credible increase in demand for corrugated production, it’s no wonder this competition has garnered a record-shatter- ing amount of entries,” noted BMO Chair Cordes Porcher.
“We are so excited to showcase this amazing breadth of worldwide talent within our industry.” In addition to the BMO entries being showcased on the SCE show floor, there are also eight special relation- ship-building events, along with more than 240 exhibitors, many with working equipment and live demonstrations.
