Pack Expo Sign

This year’s PACK EXPO International was held at the expansive McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, from October 14th - 17th. Our team was at booth #9129 in the Lower Lakeside Center. This year, over 50,000 packaging industry professionals attended; our own Kate and Lisa, Label Solution Specialists, Ashley, Marketing Manager, and Randy, General Manager, were among this number, proudly exhibiting for Dion Label Printing at PACK EXPO for the first time!

OTC pharmaceutical, supplement, personal care, specialty food, beverage, and industrial are just some of the numerous industries that were represented at PACK EXPO this year. We saw many of our old friends while we were there and made even more new ones! Our print partners at HP were in attendance, as well as our partners at CTM Labeling systems. 

You could find everything imaginable to do with packaging at this show, from label applicators to machinery to design companies. We talked with attendees about our offerings and we were pleasantly surprised to find how many people were interested in specialty applications. A few of the many specialty application items we offer at Dion include shrink sleeves, single-serve packets, and extended content labels. 

We’re looking forward to returning to The McCormick Center in Chicago in 2020 for the next PACK EXPO International. If you weren’t able to make it out to see us in Chicago but want to know more about what we can do for your brand, feel free to get in touch with one of our Label Specialists today!

Designing a label can be an involved process; logos, fonts, layout, material, and finish all must be taken into account. Then there’s the product-specific copy and information to include. It’s easy to get hung up on any or all of these things, but don’t forget to consider the importance of color selection While you may be choosing your colors based on your product or on your own color preference, you always want to make sure your colors are communicating the right thing to potential customers.

As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
