Connect with Douglas at PACK EXPO

As a recognized leader in the packaging industry, Douglas attends PACK EXPO annually. During PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Douglas unveiled a new booth. As an employee owned, customer driven company, we want our booth to speak directly to our customers. We achieved this by displaying finished product packages in 22 display cubes and playing solution-driven videos and simulations throughout our booth to provide clarity of product and purpose. Our innovative CpONE Intermittent Motion Wraparound Case packer, TriVex SL Top Loader, Spectrum Multipacker and Contour M-60 Multiwrapper were on display. Douglas also launched our new Prisma Variety Pack Systems during the Main Event.

We look forward to exhibiting at PACK EXPO International 2020 in Chicago on November 8-11. We would be honored to partner with you. Contact Douglas for complimentary access to the show. We hope to see you there!
