PACK EXPO 2026 has officially come to a close, but the excitement surrounding the live demonstrations from HSAUSA and HSA Systems continues! From October 18–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Booth S-4044 brought together innovative printing, coding, marking, and automation solutions for packaging professionals looking to improve their operations. Alongside our partners from Denmark, we showcased equipment in action, connected with industry professionals, and demonstrated how our technology handles real-world packaging challenges.
One of the highlights came when a visitor brought actual product samples to our booth, giving us the opportunity to put our EdgeFeed™ automated feeding system to the test right on the show floor. Here’s a closer look at the demonstrations and the story behind that unexpected opportunity.

EdgeFeed™ Put to the Test with Real Customer Samples
One of our most memorable PACK EXPO demonstrations wasn’t planned. It started when a distributor arrived at our booth with approximately 50 tea pouches from a prospective customer, giving us the opportunity to put the EdgeFeed™ VFS-1000 Vertical Feeding System to the test.
Our team demonstrated how EdgeFeed automatically feeds and positions flexible pouches for accurate inkjet printing, using the customer’s actual packaging rather than standard demonstration materials.
During the live test, Ken walked viewers through the printing process:
“Here we are live at PACK EXPO, running samples for a customer, printing with an HP Premium printer at 300 by 300 DPI onto this pouch. So we’ll show you what the print looks like.”
The successful demonstration produced printed samples and video footage that the distributor could share directly with their customer, providing tangible results rather than simply describing what the system could accomplish.
What began as an unexpected request became an opportunity to demonstrate how automated pouch feeding and high-resolution inkjet printing work together to streamline handling and deliver consistent printing results..
HSA Systems Printing Technology Makes Its U.S. Debut
PACK EXPO 2026 also marked an exciting milestone for our partnership with HSA Systems, as visitors experienced live U.S. demonstrations of the company’s HSAJET® industrial inkjet printing technology for the first time.
Joining us from Denmark, the HSA Systems team brought decades of engineering expertise directly to Booth S-4044, giving visitors an opportunity to explore the equipment, ask questions, and learn about the technology from the people behind it.
With more than 30 years of experience developing industrial inkjet printing solutions, HSA Systems continues to advance high-resolution printing, coding, and marking technology. Together with HSAUSA, that expertise helps bring innovative solutions to manufacturers throughout the American market.
Throughout the show, we captured footage featuring the HSAJET® Infinity MKII, MCI, MCX, and Premium printers, along with the HFS-2000, VCT-3000, and MFS-4000 systems. These demonstrations highlighted how industrial inkjet printing technology and automated product handling solutions can work together to support efficient coding and marking across a variety of packaging applications.
Our extended demonstration video features Yann Chardigny Graindorge, Director of International Sales at HSA Systems, providing a closer look at the printers, their capabilities, and the equipment showcased at our booth.
For those unable to attend, the footage offers an opportunity to experience these demonstrations beyond the exhibition floor. For those who joined us, it’s another chance to revisit the technology and explore what these systems could bring to their operations.
