We're taking the value of 3-A certification directly to buyers at PACK EXPO, September 29 to October 1 in Las Vegas. Whether they’re attending our session or roaming the exhibit hall, we want to give attendees concrete reasons to choose equipment bearing the 3-A Symbol.
Our session, “Before You Buy: What Specs Really Matter?”, is meant to give equipment buyers insight and practical advice that can inform their on-site conversations with vendors.
Our PACK EXPO session, “Before You Buy: What Specs Really Matter?,” is Monday, September 29, the first day of the event, at 2:30 PM on the Industry Speaks Stage (W-4324). RSVP for the session.
We’ll walk session participants through critical questions to separate meaningful specifications from marketing hype, explaining why each question matters and providing live demonstrations. The session will highlight the value of purchasing equipment with the 3-A Symbol and replacement parts marks and will feature more than 50 of our Symbol holders.
Participants will leave the session with greater confidence in their ability to root out equipment that doesn’t meet their needs, avoiding costly mistakes.

The PACK EXPO exhibit hall will be dotted with signs identifying 3-A Symbol and Certificate holders. Our team will hand deliver signs to Symbol-holders’ booths on Monday morning, before the exhibit hall opens.
In our booth, W-123, attendees can connect with 3-A SSI staff to ask technical questions and learn more about the ROI and business case for 3-A Sanitary Standards. We’ll also talk with attendees about workgroup and committee participation, 3-A’s self-directed e-learning opportunities, the annual 3-A conference, and more.
We’re looking for the under-40 disruptors, problem-solvers, and visionaries who look at a production line and ask, "How can we make this safer, smarter, and faster to clean?" The 3-A SSI HyGEN Excellence Awards aren't just another award. They are a career-defining launchpad. We’re building a movement to spotlight rising stars under 40 who are rewriting the rulebook.
