Discover What’s Possible with BPA at PACK EXPO 2026

BPA will be back in Chicago for PACK EXPO International next month, October 18–21, at McCormick Place. This year’s theme is “Endless Possibilities Await,” which is especially fitting for the machines we’ll be demonstrating at Booth N-5316. Each system highlights BPA’s flexibility across a wide range of secondary packaging requirements, with room to adapt as production needs change.

We don’t want you to miss out on the fun. With nearly 50,000 professionals and more than 2,600 exhibitors together in one place, the trade show floor can get very busy fast. You can confirm your spot for free by registering today using BPA code 67D38.

If you’re starting to fill out your itinerary now, here’s a closer look at the three secondary packaging systems we’ll be demonstrating live and additional innovations you can explore at the BPA booth:

Spider 300 Wraparound Case Packer

The Spider 300 Wraparound combines high-speed robotic loading with wraparound case packing in one integrated system. It delivers greater operational flexibility for retail-ready packaging, with vision technologies like BlueSight helping expand how the system can recognize and handle products.

Key capabilities include:

• Direct horizontal and vertical loading into the case
• Handles standard wraparound cases, display cases, and the EasyD case
• Automatically adjusts case positioning for different pack orientations
• Expandable with multiple Spider robots to meet higher production rates

At PACK EXPO, we’ll demonstrate the Spider 300 Wraparound loading pouches into EasyD shelf-ready and standard RSC cases.

Gantry 300 Swing Case Packer

The Gantry 300 Swing has always been one of BPA’s most proven case packing systems. We’ve refined its core design over decades to deliver long-term reliability while adapting to changing packaging formats, production requirements, and customer needs. That flexibility also makes it a great solution for co-packers managing a wide range of products and packaging configurations.

Key capabilities include:

• Horizontal and vertical pack patterns on the same system, including three-sided club store trays
• Handles multiple product sizes, SKUs, and case formats
• Quick changeovers between recipes and configurations

You can check out the Gantry 300 Swing top loading pet food bags into cases and large coffee pouches into a three-sided club-store tray when you visit the BPA booth at PACK EXPO.

Spider 100v With Bulk Feeding

This Spider 100v solution uses integrated bulk feeding to take loose products straight from totes or boxes, singulate them, and load them directly into cartons.

Key capabilities include:

• High-speed vision-guided delta robotics
• Bulk and WIP product feeding
• Supports carton loading, stacking, and other automated loading applications

At PACK EXPO, see how personal care sachets move from bulk feeding through product singulation and into cartons with the Spider 100v.

More to explore at Booth N-5316

The possibilities at our booth go beyond the three machines running live. We’ll also have a display featuring different products and secondary packaging formats BPA equipment can handle, giving visitors a chance to compare what they see with their own packaging needs.

We’re also excited to talk about how software is expanding what packaging equipment can do. Innovations like BlueSight and BluePerformance show how smarter vision and performance insights can extend the capabilities of BPA machines and open up new possibilities for customers.

And if you want to spend a little more time at the BPA booth, we’ll have an espresso bar open throughout the day, plus a beer and wine bar after 4 p.m. Stop by to watch the equipment run, explore the packaging displays, and consult the BPA team.

Wrapping up

PACK EXPO is the perfect opportunity to compare different approaches and see what could work best for your next secondary packaging project. If your packaging needs are changing, stop by Booth N-5316 to talk with us about your products, formats, speeds, and future plans. We’ll help you explore the options that make the most sense for your operation.
