BNP Media

feb. 5, 2026

Every two years, PACK EXPO East transforms Philadelphia into a hub of packaging and processing innovation, delivering a showcase of cutting-edge technologies directly to the doorstep of local companies, enabling them to find what they need to evolve and grow, says PMMI (the show organizer).

Just ask the team at Just Born Quality Confections. The century-old, family-owned, Bethlehem-based institution behind classic candies like Mike and Ike, Hot Tamales, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, and Peeps have sent teams to PACK EXPO events in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Las Vegas.

To learn more, we touched base with Charlotte Ashcraft,senior manager of packaging and graphic development, Just Born, and RebeccaMarquez, director of custom research, PMMI.
