Graphic Packaging to feature winning packaging solutions at PMMI Expo

The combination of Altivity Packaging and Graphic Packaging solutions will be featured at the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute Pack Expo.

Graphic Packaging International, Inc., a subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE:GPK), announces that it will be an exhibitor at the Pack Expo tradeshow, sponsored by PMMI (Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute), and held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, in November.

Effective this year, the company’s expanded range of packaging products, gained as a result of the combination of Altivity Packaging, LLC and Graphic Packaging Corporation, will be featured in the Graphic Packaging booth (S-1244) located in the South Hall of McCormick Place at PMMI’s Pack Expo.

Visitors to the booth will view displays and demonstrations of award-winning carton, label, and bag packaging solutions for food, beverage and consumer products -- including innovative and sustainable solutions in microwave susceptor packaging, retail ready packaging, disappearing pallets and strength packaging, as well as new technologies for mobile packaging promotion and durable heat transfer labels.

More specifically, Graphic Packaging will feature its newly-engineered Quik-Flex* G3 fully enclosed cartoner designed to raise packaging performance to new levels for optimum high speed in-line packing of beverage, food, and consumer products. In-booth demonstrations of the new Quik-Flex G3 machine’s flexibility and efficiency will show the new generation of innovation added to the portfolio of integrated packaging systems solutions that Graphic Packaging provides.

The Graphic Packaging exhibit will also feature Dinacal* labeling technology, as well as selected packaging machinery developed and marketed under Graphic Packaging’s highly respected Minnesota Automation* brand name. The full Minnesota Automation product line includes:

• Complete line of placers for inserting and/or positioning coupons, literature, and CD/DVD’s
• Onserters and outserters
• Collators
• Cake and pie doming
• Labeling systems
• Tray denesters
• Cartoners
• Sleevers
• Special assembly machinery

Based in Crosby, Minn., Minnesota Automation Products has designed and manufactured packaging machinery since 1978, and has been a member of PMMI since 1986. Riverwood International Corporation acquired Minnesota Automation in 1991, and it became part of Graphic Packaging’s machinery portfolio in 2003, when Riverwood and Graphic Packaging merged. Minnesota Automation is now a brand of machinery products, listed under Graphic Packaging International, Inc. in trade publications, directory listings, and at trade shows like Pack Expo.

Recently the company launched an easy to understand Paperboard Packaging website to educate both customers and consumers about the environmental value inherent in paperboard packaging.
