Pregis to Highlight EPR Expertise, Sustainable Packaging Solutions and Live Automation Demonstrations at Pack Expo International 2026

CHICAGO - EntSun -- Pregis^®, a global supplier of protective packaging, flexible packaging and mailing and bagging solutions, will exhibit at Booth S-3874 at Pack Expo International 2026, held October 18–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Attendees can explore the breadth of Pregis solutions, consult with on-floor engineering experts and see live automation demonstrations illustrating how equipment design and material selection work together to improve protection, productivity and cost efficiency while enhancing customer experience. Pregis experts will also help visitors identify packaging options that address regulatory compliance, operational complexity, rising freight costs and sustainability goals while lowering total cost of ownership.

"The Pregis Pack Expo exhibit is designed to help organizations and our channel partners turn today's packaging challenges into an advantage. By bringing together regulatory expertise, material and equipment innovations, a consultative approach and purpose-driven solutions such as our Inspyre™ packaging line, we can help companies identify strategies that deliver measurable business value, improve the customer experience and create meaningful social impact," said Daché Davidson, Chief Marketing Officer for Pregis.

Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance

With extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation now in effect in multiple U.S. states and Europe's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) creating new compliance requirements for global operations, Pregis will use Pack Expo 2026 to help organizations assess their exposure before fee obligations scale and identify practical paths forward.

At the Pregis IQ Expert Bar, sustainability experts and packaging engineers can help companies evaluate how material selection and rightsizing affect producer fee calculations and identify opportunities to optimize total cost of ownership through package design.
