This is really positive. There are a lot of products that are packaged in pouches. I was in Asia and EVERYTHING is packaged in pouches! If it can be recycled then it’s a good thing.

Large companies never do anything out of the goodness of their souls. They are likely doing it because they get a tax break or because they can pay these people less.

This a double positive: first it keeps jobs in America and second it helps people who need help and want to contribute.

For contract packaging in Chicago there is the Aaron Thomas Company. But if you need sauces, we are only aware of Bell Foods International, (previously known as EOLA) in Oregon. Our readers may have more referrals.

I have been in the restaurant business since the 70′, I like to take my whole line of Asian sauces from the kitchen to retail. Can you give me some names of the contract packaging company in Illinois? Companies that will work with a start-up company. Also some names of the distributor in Illinois or specialty stores that would sell my all natural, no preservatives products.

Seriously? 150 attendees? They should host a webinar and save on jet fuel if they care so strongly about sustainability.

This is a packaging machinery show. It’s a smaller version of the one they host in Chicago. Mostly American and European machines. You should go to China if you want better pricing. I think this show is just an excuse to go to Las Vegas.
