Buyers are invited to visit the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo 2014 New Packaging Showcase to see the latest, eco-friendly, innovative and easy-to-merchandise packaging designs designed to help them sell more products.

The New Packaging Showcase will be located in Hall D+. In addition to being displayed in the onsite showcase, entries will be included on the AAPEX 2014 Mobile App.
