Prepare your meetings
Bring container format, product, required throughput and space constraints. Request a trial for your application and record changeovers, waste, utilities and service. Obtain exhibitor permission for photos; recording is not allowed in educational sessions.
Three questions to take to the stand
- Which product and format were used to demonstrate this speed?
- Which changeovers, utilities and space does the line require?
- Who handles installation, spare parts and service in my market?
