PACK EXPO Las Vegas is a major packaging and processing technology show. Exhibitors run machinery for filling, sealing, labeling and automation, and attendees are plant managers, engineers and operations leaders.
What drives the cost at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027
- Running machinery is heavy and often needs forklifts, special handling and rigging, which are billed on top of standard drayage.
- Live equipment demos need higher-amp electrical and sometimes compressed air. These are separate orders.
- Machinery booths take more install and dismantle hours, so labor is a bigger share of the budget than at a typical show.
Dates and travel
- Discount deadlines. Most exhibitor kits close the lower prices for labor, electrical and advance-warehouse freight three to four weeks before move-in. For PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027 that means around August 30, 2027 to September 6, 2027. Your kit has the exact dates.
- Hotel nights. 3 exhibit days plus a day each for move-in and move-out is about 5 nights per person. The estimate budgets $1,500–$3,000 per traveler.
- Also in Las Vegas around the same dates: PRINTING United Expo (Sep 14–16, 2027), Cloudflare Connect (Oct 11–14, 2027). Book hotels early when large events overlap.
