10x20 Packaging Machinery Exhibit — Built for Automation Demonstrations
OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
PACK EXPO Las Vegas is a major North American trade show for packaging and processing technology, where exhibitors run machinery live—from filling and capping systems to labeling, coding/marking, inspection vision, case packing, palletizing, and end-of-line automation. Buyers often evaluate real production workflows on the show floor, so booth performance depends on whether your demo stations run reliably, visitors can clearly see changeovers and line flow, and your team can hold technical conversations without blocking access paths.
At the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), packaging exhibitors frequently ship crated equipment and palletized components, which makes drayage timing, forklift staging, and install sequencing part of the booth design—not an afterthought. If your display includes conveyors, robotics cells, cartoners, inspection cameras, or integrated end-of-line systems, you’ll need safe demo boundaries, serviceable cable routing, and clean visibility for operators and attendees. For local execution planning around union labor, material handling, and LVCC move-in logistics, start with our Las Vegas trade show booth builder guide.
For machinery-forward exhibitors, a 30x40 trade show booth footprint is often the best fit when you need multiple live demo zones plus a control/monitoring station, storage for spares, and a small meeting area—while still preserving service access and queue flow. To reduce onsite rework, our Logistics & Pre-Show Coordination workflow aligns freight labeling, crate order, labor calls, and demo bring-up timing so equipment can be positioned, powered, and tested before the show opens.

Challenges 1
Utility Planning for Live Equipment
Utility Planning for Live Equipment
Packaging machinery demos often need reliable power drops, network readiness, and sometimes compressed air—utility planning must be locked early to avoid rework on show site.

Crated equipment and pallets must arrive in an install-ready order; if the wrong crate opens first, labor time and forklift calls can spike quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What booth size works best for packaging machinery demos at PACK EXPO Las Vegas?

For a single machinery demo (e.g., labeling machine, inspection station, or compact conveyor cell), many exhibitors start at 20x20; if you need multiple demo stations plus meeting space, a 20x30 layout usually handles equipment access paths, demo buffers, and visitor flow more comfortably.
How early should we start planning for PACK EXPO Las Vegas if we’re shipping equipment?

If you’re exhibiting with crated packaging equipment or palletized components, plan 4–6 months ahead to lock utilities needs, finalize crating order, and align drayage timing—so your cartoner, case packer, robotics cell, or inspection demo can be powered and tested before doors open.
What are common execution risks for live processing equipment booths at LVCC?

The biggest risks are utility mismatches (power/network), poor crate sequencing for heavy machinery, and insufficient demo safety spacing—especially when running conveyors, robotic pick-and-place, or inspection vision systems that need clean cable routing and controlled access.
