and can handle the rapid changing of SKUs within a sin- gle shift. Manufacturers are also turning to EoL equipment that integrates several different functions into a single ma- chine. These improvements are ultimately rooted in an on- going need to expand the level of automation and ease of integration in the EoL space. One sweeping factor directly impacting EoL packaging operations is the ongoing labor shortage pervading CPG manufacturing industries. From large operations to SMEs, manufacturers in the CPG space have reported struggling with a general lack of available labor. OEMs can help by identifying areas of EoL operations to deploy automation to reduce a need for unskilled labor. EoL technology and machinery solutions have evolved in the last two years and the next opportunity to see the latest end-of-line solutions on the East Coast is at PACK EXPO East (March 21-23, 2022; Pennsylvania Convention Center). This show will bring together 400 exhibitors show- casing solutions over 100,000 net square feet of exhibit space, with 7,000 attendees from 40+ vertical markets. Produced by PMMI, PACK EXPO East provides a con- venient and rewarding opportunity for professionals from East Coast CPGs and life sciences companies to explore the latest packaging and processing technology and ma- terials in-person, connect with suppliers and find the solu- tions needed to adapt and compete in a changing market- place. Free educational opportunities provide important, timely and useful content as well as valuable opportunities to collaborate with peers on tough topics such as improv- ing operations, responding/adapting to trends and incor- porating new technology.

INFOFLEX 2022 is the Association’s first full-size, live exhibition in three years and the first of 2022. Package printers will see the latest technologies and solutions to improve their print quality and increase efficiency in every part of the production workflow. Exhibitors will capitalize on the pent-up demand and excitement of an audience that includes decision-makers and end users representing every packaging segment. And an entire industry will final- ly be able to reconnect, face-to-face, live and in person.
