News Flash Exhibitors Beware of Unofficial Vendors and Scams Year after year, PACK EXPO exhibitors have reported receiving solicitations from vendors NOT affiliated with PMMI, PACK EXPO, and Healthcare Packaging EXPO. We urge all exhibitors to be especially diligent when assessing the claims of any vendor who is not an official contractor of PACK EXPO or Healthcare Packaging EXPO. In some cases, these outside groups are making misleading and sometimes fraudulent claims about their product or service. Recently, a company by the name of Events Carpet and Flooring sent out an email to exhibitors claiming that they can offer special, discounted carpet pricing. This company is not an official contractor of PACK EXPO.
