Fresh from Pack Expo Las Vegas 2023, the team at Portco Packaging is abuzz with enthusiasm and appreciation for the pivotal industry event. With a rich collection of innovation, sustainability, and futuristic solutions, Pack Expo provided a platform for profound interactions, insightful learnings, and growing collaborations.
A Beacon of Sustainability and Innovation
Rochelle Bonebrake, Senior Account Manager at Portco Packaging, reflected on the transformative conversations that underscored the importance of sustainable practices: “The questions from customers regarding sustainability were not just about the need to make this change but also about what is the best approach for this change. They were asking tough questions about whether it can really be recycled and where are the recyclers?”
The prominence of sustainability in flexible packaging was evident, and for Portco Packaging, a pioneering force in offering sustainable flexible packaging solutions through their EarthGuard line, this proved instrumental. The EarthGuard line epitomizes Portco’s commitment to the environment, offering compostable alternatives and post-consumer recyclable choices addressing diverse sustainability objectives.
Amy Curry, Senior Manager of New Business Development at Portco Packaging, encapsulating the essence of Pack Expo 2023, commented, “The packaging industry has evolved and is embracing sustainable options to keep up with EPR requirements and to fight climate change. The opportunity to network with professionals in our target markets was great this year, with common objectives to reduce carbon footprint, protect package contents, and achieve spending goals.”
Catalyzing Connections and Spotlighting Capabilities
Brad Godsil, Director of Sales & Service at Portco Packaging, illuminated the intrinsic value of Pack Expo as a confluence of customers, prospects, and vendors. “What is most valuable about Pack Expo is the opportunity to connect with our Customers, Prospects, and Vendors, all in one location,” he shared. By exhibiting at the expo, Portco Packaging was able to gain name recognition in the marketplace and showcase its versatile capabilities encapsulated in both its signature Portco line and the innovative EarthGuard solutions.
