IACONNECT WITH CUSTOMERS
Every issue of Packaging Machinery Technology (PMT)
magazine reaches over 35,000 packaging professionals ready to explore the ins and outs of packaging and the products they need to achieve their goals.
In 2010, PMT expanded its editorial coverage to provide information on processing solutions. This supports the additional responsibilities many operations personnel have been asked to assume in very lean operations.
PMT continues to provide the lowest CPM for our advertisers, the lowest page rate, plus exclusive circulation to packaging teams and leaders
throughout the halls of PACK EXPO.PMMI member companies receive an exclusive 15% discount on advertisement rates, as well as a 5% discount in the Show Daily.

The PACK EXPO experience continues year-round with packexpo.com. Prospects can visit this website to find and contact their favorite exhibitors.
Because packexpo.com is a top daily packaging news source, there is even more reason packagers visit packexpo.com every day.
