Why JLS shows up to PACK EXPO.

PACK EXPO International draws 48,000+ attendees from across the food manufacturing world — plant managers, packaging engineers, operations directors, food-safety leads. It's the shortest path to evaluating a JLS line short of touring our facility in York, PA.

If you've been comparing JLS to other robotic packaging vendors, this is the show where you can see our equipment running live, talk to the JLS team behind it, and decide whether to invite us to your plant for a deeper conversation.

What you'll see at the JLS booth.

Live demos run continuously across all four show days. Talk to the engineer who built the system.

Cartoning & case packing

PEREGRINE® IS with HAWK™ integrated line

The vision-guided Peregrine IS monoblock forms, loads, and closes cartons inline, then feeds finished cartons directly to Hawk for robotic case packing — one coordinated line, one control platform. Up to 120 cartons per minute, depending on configuration.

Case packing

OSPREY® BP brick-pack case packing

Robotic case packing of soft, deformable brick packs and flat pouches, with cleanable, washdown-capable construction. Watch the vacuum tooling handle packages that can deform under pressure while running at production speed.

Vision

JLS AI vision demonstration

AI-assisted vision guides robotic picking and product refeed as presentation varies — see how the system locates product, corrects flow, and keeps it moving through the line.

Collation

KESTREL™ collate-and-load

High-speed centrifugal feeding singulates and collates cylindrical food products — snack sticks, breakfast links, and sausages — for gentle, accurate robotic loading at rate.

Plan your visit.

Booth meetings fill quickly during PACK EXPO week. Reserve a 30-minute window with a JLS application engineer in advance to walk through your specific line, products, and packaging challenge.

  • Get a private booth meeting — reserve a time slot with engineering before the show
  • Send product samples in advance — we'll have them ready for hands-on conversation at the booth
  • Schedule a Flight Lab test — pair your booth visit with a stop at the JLS Flight Lab in York, PA the week before or after
