Real Conversations. Real Automation. Real Momentum.
Pack Expo East 2026 in Philadelphia delivered exactly what we come to these shows for: meaningful conversations with manufacturers who are serious about improving throughput, reducing labor strain, and building packaging lines that scale.
From the moment the doors opened, our booth stayed active with operators, engineers, managers, and leadership teams looking for practical automation solutions, not buzzwords. The common thread across nearly every discussion was clear: production demands are rising, labor is tight, and consistency is non-negotiable. The good news? The right equipment choices and line layouts can make a measurable impact fast.
Across food, snack, bakery, nutraceutical, and general CPG applications, manufacturers shared similar pain points:
Our team spent the show doing what we love: breaking down these challenges and mapping out the most efficient automation path, whether that means starting with a single packaging station or building toward a complete end-to-end line.
This year, we brought a full range of packaging and automation systems so attendees could see how the pieces fit together in a real production environment.
Automation at the end of the line was one of the biggest topics of the show. Many teams are ready to reduce repetitive manual tasks and improve consistency, especially in case handling and palletizing conversations. Our Cobot System and RoboPacker sparked strong interest as flexible, scalable options for operations looking to take the next step.
Bagging and portion packaging were constant conversation drivers, especially for operations balancing speed with accuracy. Systems like the RotoBagger, EcoBagger + Auger Filler, and 2 Lane Stick Pack were central to discussions around efficiency, dosing accuracy, and clean, repeatable packaging results.
When accuracy and consistency matter, weighing systems become the heartbeat of a packaging line. We spent a lot of time talking through product behavior, ideal hopper sizes, and how the right scale configuration impacts speed and cost control. The 14 Head Scale and EliteWeigh Weigher 24H 0.5L generated strong interest for teams wanting dependable performance across different product types.
For teams focused on throughput and uptime, our VFFS and packaging platforms were a key draw. The MarsRapid VFFS, ComboPack Case Former & Bag Inserter, and Pack500 flow wrapper drove great conversations around film handling, seal integrity, changeover simplicity, and building a platform that supports growth.
To everyone who visited our booth, thank you. If we didn’t get enough time together on the show floor, we’d love to continue the conversation with a quick line review call. Whether you’re upgrading a single component or planning a full automation roadmap, our team can help you:

Royal Food Products, a third-generation family business based in Edmonton, has grown into one of Canada’s leading manufacturers of frozen savory pastries, producing more than three million kilograms annually. With demand for their signature sausage rolls continuing to surge, the company turned to automation to increase throughput while maintaining the quality their customers expect.
To support this growth, Royal Food Products partnered with PLAN IT Packaging Systems to modernize their packaging operations. Their most recent investment, a MarsCompak vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) line with an integrated ELITEWEIGH multihead scale, replaced a labor-intensive manual process and delivered immediate results.
“The equipment we recently purchased has significantly increased our throughput and is helping us maintain our profit margins,” says Paul Meyer, President of Royal Food Products. “It also allows us to reinvest in our employees and future equipment.”
Since startup, the new system has delivered major productivity gains.
“The day we turned it on, we saw a 24% increase in productivity,” Meyer shares. “Depending on the product, we’ve seen a 56–80% increase in output. It’s surpassed our expectations—an amazing asset.”
Beyond performance improvements, the automated solution also enhanced accuracy and reduced waste.
“Since implementing the new machine, we have better finished weights, less waste, more accurate counts, and easier labor requirements,” Meyer explains.
PLAN IT’s team provided hands-on training and ongoing support throughout the project.
“PLAN IT has been excellent to work with from start to finish,” Meyer adds. “They have a responsive support network, and I’d be happy to work with them again.”
This partnership has helped Royal Food Products remove production bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and unlock new growth opportunities demonstrating the real-world impact of smart, scalable automation.
