PMG Labels Named Finalist for 2026 PACK EXPO Technology Excellence Awards
PMG Labels LP is proud to announce that the PMG RFID FlagTag has been selected as an official finalist for the prestigious 2026 Technology Excellence Awards at PACK EXPO International.
Recognized in the General Packaging & Processing category, the PMG RFID FlagTag is one of just nine breakthrough innovations chosen by PMMI (The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies) to compete for top honors at this year’s show, taking place October 18–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Solving Complex RFID Tracking Challenges
Traditional RFID tags often struggle with signal interference when applied directly to metal containers, dense liquid packaging, or high-density warehouse environments. The revolutionary design of the PMG RFID FlagTag lifts the antenna off the surface, eliminating signal interference and enabling flawless bulk reading, 100% real-time supply chain visibility, and reliable performance across extreme temperature ranges (-40°F to 185°F).
"The Technology Excellence Awards recognize the technologies making a meaningful impact on packaging and processing operations," says Laura Thompson, vice president, trade shows, PMMI. "These finalists demonstrate the creativity and ingenuity suppliers are bringing to the industry."
