PACK EXPO International 2004 is a truly global event.
Several thousand international attendees traveled from 92 countries to attend PACK EXPO International 2002.
Don’t miss out on this year’s premier international showcase for Packaging and Processing machinery.
Once again PACK EXPO International 2004 has been selected by the U.S.

of their
experience at PACK EXPO International 2004.
Important Visa Information

changes have been made to this process. For complete up-to-date information
