Evergreen Resources at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025

This year at PACK EXPO, Evergreen Resources is spotlighting the developments reshaping packaging today – from sustainable materials and advanced decoration to the strategies brands are using to navigate tariffs, supply chain complexity, and shifting market demands.

1. Navigating Tariff Complexity

Tariff changes are raising packaging costs globally – and the complexity isn’t limited to overseas sourcing. Domestic and international manufacturers alike are feeling the impact, often in different ways. In this environment, working with partners who understand trade regulations is essential. Evergreen’s dedicated tariff research and customs clearance team helps customers stay ahead of shifting classifications, avoid compliance issues, and keep cross-border shipments moving smoothly.

2. Dual Sourcing as a Supply Chain Standard

Single-source dependencies have become riskier in an era of shifting trade policy, freight volatility, and regional disruptions. More brands are treating dual sourcing not as a contingency, but as standard practice. Evergreen supports this shift by qualifying multiple manufacturing sites for key programs – giving customers backup options, more flexibility, and better control over costs.

3. Rethinking Lead Time: Predictability Over Proximity

Domestic manufacturing capacity has become highly constrained, with many suppliers facing long – and often unpredictable – lead times and delays. In contrast, mature overseas supply chains can offer greater production scale and consistency. At Evergreen, standard overseas lead times run 30 days for production plus 30–45 days for transit. While that may seem long at first glance, the reliability and lack of variation help brands plan with confidence.

4. The Shift to 100% Recyclable Mono-Materials

As recyclability standards tighten and retailers push for clearer sustainability metrics, mono-material packaging is gaining traction across formats – from tubes to sprayers. These single-substrate solutions simplify end-of-life sorting and support circularity goals without compromising functionality. At Evergreen, we’ve invested in APR-certified specs across key dispensing and packaging formats to help brands align with both performance and sustainability benchmarks.

5. Advanced Decorations for Brand Differentiation

In crowded categories, visual impact isn’t a nice-to-have – it’s how brands earn attention and build connection. Techniques like silkscreen printing, soft-touch finishes, and custom tooling give packaging a tactile, elevated feel that stands out on shelf. We work closely with customers to bring these details to life in ways that feel premium, stay functional, and hold up in production. Learn more about our advanced decoration options here.

Packaging priorities can vary widely by industry – and so do the pressures brands face. In this section, we break down the trends shaping three key sectors – Personal Care, Food & Beverage, and Industrial Chemicals – along with the Evergreen packaging solutions we’ll be highlighting at PACK EXPO for each.

Personal Care

In personal care, packaging plays an outsized role in both brand perception and environmental impact. As consumers demand more sustainable options – and as retailers raise the bar on recyclability and material transparency – brands are rethinking everything from resin selection to decoration techniques.

Evergreen partners with personal care brands to meet this moment with packaging that’s equal parts sustainable and elevated. From APR-certified pumps and sprayers to fully recyclable tubes made with bio-resins, our components are designed to perform across the supply chain while signaling a cleaner, more premium future. We will be showcasing the following products for personal care at PACK EXPO:

• APR-certified 100% recyclable pumps and sprayers
• Bio-resin and mono-material tubes
• Advanced decoration techniques, including embossing, silkscreen, hot stamping, electroplating, heat transfer, and water transfer
• A wide range of new sustainable personal care components

Whether you're launching a refillable skincare line or updating your hero product’s packaging for next-gen compliance, Evergreen delivers components that align with both brand values and consumer expectations.

Food & Beverage

In food and beverage, trusted packaging formats like glass jars and metal closures remain the gold standard – valued for their durability, shelf presence, and consumer familiarity. These formats consistently perform across demanding applications, including hot-fill, pasteurization, and e-commerce distribution, making them a reliable choice for both legacy and emerging brands.

Evergreen partners with food and beverage companies to deliver high-quality, regulation-ready packaging backed by in-house FDA compliance testing. Whether you're launching a new SKU or refining an established line, we offer the technical support and manufacturing flexibility to keep you moving with confidence. We will be showcasing the following products for food and beverage at PACK EXPO:

• A wide range of stock and custom glass bottles and jars
• Cost-effective custom tooling, including logo embossing and proprietary designs
• Metal closures, including industry-standard continuous thread (CT) and lug caps for airtight, tamper-evident sealing
• K-cups for single-serve beverage applications

From premium shelf presence to reliable line performance, Evergreen’s food and beverage packaging solutions are built to meet today’s operational demands – without compromising quality or compliance.

Industrial Chemicals

In industrial chemicals, aerosol and chemical cans remain the gold standard for safe, durable packaging – especially for formulations that demand pressure resistance, leak prevention, and regulatory compliance. As global transportation and labeling regulations evolve, packaging is increasingly expected to do more than contain – it must comply, protect, and perform across borders.

At Evergreen, we support chemical brands with metal packaging formats engineered to meet stringent international standards, including DOT and UN performance requirements. Our solutions are designed to comply with global transportation and safety regulations, helping reduce risk and ensure hazardous materials move efficiently through complex supply chains. We will be showcasing the following products for industrial chemicals at PACK EXPO:

• Aluminum aerosol cans
• Steel aerosol cans
• F-style / oblong chemical cans
• Cone top and pour top chemical cans
• Paint cans

Whether you’re shipping flammable aerosols, corrosive liquids, or regulated pastes, Evergreen’s chemical packaging solutions are built for both safety and scale.

• Six specialized pavilions, including the Containers & Materials Pavilion, Reusable Packaging Pavilion, and Healthcare Packaging Pavilion – each designed to give attendees a focused, in-depth view of solutions relevant to their market.
• 100+ free educational sessions hosted on the Innovation Stage, Processing Innovation Stage, Sustainability Central, and Industry Speaks platforms, covering everything from automation breakthroughs and sustainable design to the latest regulatory and compliance updates.
• Targeted networking opportunities such as the Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network Breakfast, where attendees can engage in meaningful conversations with peers and industry leaders, and PACK gives BACK™, a charity event featuring a special Cirque du Soleil Mystère performance to support PMMI Foundation scholarships.
