The Sourcing Center is a place where brand owners interested in contract packaging and manufacturing services can learn about CPA members and how to source these service providers. Visitors will experience real examples of contract packaged and manufactured goods from CPA members and have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with industry experts. The Sourcing Center is also a place for contract packagers and manufacturers to learn about CPA and the benefits of membership.

“Associations participating in the PACK EXPO Las Vegas, and co-located Healthcare Packaging EXPO, Partner Programs understand the significance of supporting North America’s largest packaging event in 2017, for their members and the packaging industry as a whole. Partner associations are an important link between attendees and exhibitors before, during and after the show,” said Jim Pittas, chief operating officer, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
