Whitebird Returns to ADM Toronto 2025

We’re heading to ADM Toronto 2025, and here’s why you should be excited. At Whitebird, we don’t just show up to trade shows—we stop people in their tracks. We’re all about creating memorable experiences, and this year is no different. We’re bringing another fresh and creative booth to the show floor this year, so if you want to make a strong impression on your customers, it starts with visiting us at ADM Toronto.

What is ADM, you ask? We’ll unpack it for you. Formerly known as PackEx Toronto, the Advanced Design & Manufacturing Expo is Canada’s largest packaging event for both suppliers and buyers, bringing together six advanced manufacturing areas: packaging, design, automation, plastics, processing, and EV technology. You’ll see the latest and greatest from over 350 exhibitors, including over 50+ hours of demos, product showcases and expert talks. No matter what industry you’re in, you’ll be in the know about what’s moving Canada’s manufacturing industry forward. This year’s show runs from October 21-23 at the Toronto Congress Centre, so be sure to register for your pass today.

Looking Back: PackEx 2023

The Cabin That Stole the Show

In 2023, we made a real splash at PackEx Toronto. It was our first time exhibiting, so we wanted to do something special that wouldn’t just stand out, but would also draw people in. Something that would show attendees who we are and what we’re made of—literally. So, our team put together a unique trade show booth design, which was made entirely of corrugated cardboard.

Our cozy corrugated cabin was a cut above the rest. Designed and produced with the help of our sister company Moyy, it featured a faux fire and a wood beam wall that was decorated with photos of our team and logos of the brands we distribute. What it didn’t have was the typical product display. Why? Because we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to spark real conversations. You can browse products anywhere (psst… whitebird.ca), but getting to connect with future customers? That’s where the excitement lies.

The Cabin Experience on the Floor

Our marketing team and logistics teams came together in a symphony of collaboration to execute this unforgettable experience. After all, shipping an entire corrugated cabin isn’t something we do every day. But what really brought the event to life were our “boots on the ground”, aka our blue plaid-clad sales team. They welcomed every attendee into the cabin and spent time getting to know their businesses, their needs, and their goals. Aside from a unique presence at the show, our team was able to turn visitors into business contacts, helping us build relationships and generate real business.

Oh, and the best part? Our booth was designed to be 100% recyclable. We know the importance of sustainability in our industry, so we incorporated that into the very fabric of the event. After the show, we were able to tear down and recycle our eco-friendly trade show display on-site to eliminate any return shipping. Why? That’s just the kind of forward thinking Whitebird brings to the table.

Looking Ahead: ADM Toronto 2025 – What’s Next

We set a high bar at the 2023 show, but this year we’ll be raising that bar even further. Topping the success of our corrugated cabin might seem like an impossible task, but don’t worry. Our team has a few tricks up our plaid sleeves. If you haven’t already registered for the show, let this be your sign to do so. Make sure you get your pass today because this year is sure to be the most exciting show yet.

Oh, and once you’ve registered, the next thing you’ll need is a map. Save this image below so you can sprint to our booth as quickly as possible.
