Signode To Demonstrate Integrated Solutions At PACK EXPO 2026 Tampa, Florida based Signode, a global provider of tran- sit packaging equipment, automation, materials, and af- termarket support solutions, will demonstrate integrated technologies for case handling, palletizing, strapping, load containment, and material handling at PACK EXPO Inter- national 2026, taking place October 18–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. At Booth S-3100, Signode will present equipment and automation solutions that support packaging operations from case preparation and strapping solutions through pallet handling and warehouse automation. The exhibit will show how individual technologies can be configured as part of a broader end-of-line and distribution process to help manufacturers improve consistency, throughput, reli- ability, and long-term operational performance. Live demonstrations will feature the Octopus® Prestige™ automatic stretch wrapping machine integrated with the TP-12 strapping machines. An Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) forklift will be demonstrating how automated pallet movement can be coordinated to reduce manual touch- points and support flow through storage and distribution.
