The data transmitted via SOMIC Connect enables rapid problem-solving and greater production efficiency.
SOMIC Packaging, Inc. will showcase innovative machine series across multiple performance ranges at PACK EXPO International 2026, taking place October 18–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Headquartered in Minnesota, SOMIC is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of end-of-line packaging machines. At the show, the company will showcase the SOMIC 434, the new SOMIC 202, and its Digital Services SOMIC Eagle and SOMIC Connect.
Since its debut three years ago, the SOMIC 434 machine series has set new standards in end-of-line packaging, offering speeds of up to 32 cycles per minute, a virtually unlimited variety of formats, and flexible configurations as tray, wraparound or tray/cover packers. Optionally, both one-piece and multi-piece carton packages can be produced on a single machine. Extensive automatic format adjustments minimise changeover times while increasing production availability and efficiency.
With the SOMIC 202, SOMIC is introducing a compact cartoning machine for standard packaging tasks to the US market for the first time. The machine is also suitable as an entry-level solution for automated end-of-line packaging.
The SOMIC 202 processes Regular Slotted Cartons (RSC) or flat, one-piece tray or wraparound blanks at a rate of up to 20 cartons per minute, while offering SOMIC quality in a compact footprint.
Both machines will be demonstrated live at the booth.
In addition, SOMIC will showcase its new Digital Services, SOMIC Eagle and SOMIC Connect. SOMIC Eagle is a multi-camera system with time-stamped video clips designed to clearly identify causes and simplify troubleshooting. SOMIC Connect supplements this with additional diagnostic data and makes the collected information available via a secure email server, enabling faster problem-solving and higher system availability.
Demonstrations by SOMIC technicians will be available at any time at Booth N-4740.
