FORDS Packaging Systems is heading to Chicago this October for PACK EXPO International 2026 - with the team, the technology and a new way to experience our machinery.
From October 18–21, you’ll find us at McCormick Place in the North Building, Booth N-6014.
PACK EXPO is one of the biggest dates on the packaging calendar, and we’re making the most of it.
Whether you’re planning a new packaging format, looking to get more from an existing line or exploring your next capping and sealing system, come talk to us.
Talk Packaging. Try the Technology.
At FORDS, the conversation rarely starts and ends with a machine.
Our team will be on hand throughout the show to discuss foil capping, induction and conduction sealing, all-in-one systems, lab and pilot equipment, and packaging development. Our wider capabilities span everything from closure technology and precision capping through to packaging trials, sustainability, seal integrity and ROI.
Visitors will be able to see FORDS technology at the booth, speak directly with our commercial and technical teams, and discuss the particular requirements of their own packs and production environments.
Whether the challenge is improving output, introducing a new format, simplifying a process or developing a packaging concept for commercialization, we want Booth N-6014 to be a place for useful conversations about what comes next.
See Our Machines Like Never Before
This year, we’re bringing our machines to you – virtually.
Our new interactive VR experience will allow visitors to step inside the FORDS range and explore a selection of our machines in a completely different way. The experience forms a key part of our PACK EXPO presence this year and complements the technology visitors will see on the booth itself.
Rather than viewing a machine through a brochure or screen, visitors will be able to put on the headset, look around the equipment and get a much better sense of its layout, scale and design.
For anyone assessing future equipment or simply wanting to understand more about the breadth of the FORDS range, it should be well worth a try.
Meet The FORDS Team in Chicago
We’re bringing expertise from right across the business to Chicago.
That means you can talk to us about far more than machine specifications.
New packaging. New equipment. Existing production challenges. Project delivery. Technical support. The future of packaging.
Whatever stage you’re at, there’ll be someone on the booth who can get into the detail with you.
