墨西哥国际包装及技术展览会（PACK EXPO Mexico）是墨西哥及拉丁美洲区域最专业的包装材料及技术展之一，由美国包装机械制造协会（PMMI）主办，一年一届，在墨西哥城与瓜达拉哈拉轮流举办，是品牌展PACK EXPO分展。PACK EXPO从1995年在美国第一届成功举办至今，PACK EXPO已经发展成为北美地区最大的包装展，该品牌展有芝加哥国际包装展及美国东部包装展，是国际包装展中最有影响的专业性展会之一。
PACK EXPO México参展商将展示几乎所有零售商和消费品包装垂直市场的最新解决方案，包括：食品与饮料：烘焙和零食，饮料，谷物、早餐食品，糖果/糖果，乳制品，水果/蔬菜，谷物、种子、豆、面粉、坚果，肉类/家禽/海鲜，准备食物，生产/新鲜，葡萄酒/啤酒/烈酒；医药/医疗产品：生物/生物制药，医疗/牙科仪器或用品，医疗设备/诊断仪器，营养保健品、维生素、膳食补充剂，制药；其他包装商品：汽车，建筑/建筑/家居改造产品，化学，化妆品/洗浴用品，电子产品，家具/固定装置，硬件/工具，金属，纸张/打印，宠物食品，肥皂/家用化学品，纺织/服装，烟草，玩具/运动/工艺品，其他。
美国最大的贸易伙伴是加拿大，中国，墨西哥，日本紧随其后，每天大约有价值高达11亿美元的产品，美国经济高度发达，全球多个国家的货币与美元挂钩。目前包装设备生产增长最快的是在发展中的国家和地区，发达国家将从刺激国内需求中获利，并在发展中国家寻找当地合适的生产厂家，特别是在食品加工厂进行投资，提供包装机械设备。如果说在贴标机和装箱机等设备上，中国制造的机械还无法同德、意、日产品竞争，那么在一些技术含量较低的产品上已经可以满足美国市场的要求，并最有可能在短期内获得突破性进展。特别是一些通用型的包装设备，如热收缩包装机、裹包机等，中国制造的产品成本不到美国产品的一半，具有非常强的竞争力,低廉的价格是中国包装机械进入美国市场最好的敲门砖。事实上，目前已经有一些美国公司在中国进行贴牌生产，生产出来的部分产品出口美国市场。

Returning after four years as the largest show in its history, EXPO PACK Guadalajara showcased the latest innovations, technologies, and solutions in the packaging and processing sectors.
"EXPO PACK Guadalajara 2023 surpassed our expectations in terms of innovation, industry engagement, and global representation," says Celia Navarrete, EXPO PACK director.

Exhibitors showcased groundbreaking packaging solutions that address sustainability, efficiency, and consumer convenience. From eco-friendly materials and biodegradable packaging to smart and interactive packaging technologies, attendees witnessed the future of packaging innovation.
Many of these innovative solutions were showcased at the standing-room-only Innovation Stage sessions. Attendees learned about the latest technologies and ground-breaking solutions from exhibitors at 15 Innovation Stage sessions. These 30-minute, free, on-floor presentations featured experts describing new technology, innovative applications, case studies, and best practices. Recorded sessions are available on-demand for registered attendees.
In addition to the Innovation Stage, EXPO PACK Guadalajara in conjunction with Mundo PMMI offered keynote presentations featuring leading companies such as Walmart, Kraft Heinz Mexico, and Casa Herradura (Brown-Forman). Each morning, more than 200 professionals packed these informative sessions. Additionally, the Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network (PPWLN) held its first keynote address in Guadalajara, sponsored by Polypack, Inc., to discuss timely issues facing women in the industry.
