Flexible packaging offers a win-win value proposition for a wide range of product categories. For consumer products, flexible packaging provides the sustainable, convenient, and ergonomic product experience they demand. Flexible packaging offers a lean and agile solution to increasing demand complexity. Our expert panel will provide a total value chain perspective of flexible packaging—raw materials suppliers, converters, and end-users will discuss the latest technological innovations and provide you with strategic insight on the economics of flexible packaging implementation.

We’ll cover:

  • How flexible packaging’s role is evolving in the COVID-19 landscape and in healthcare packaging in general
  • Flexible packaging’s potential to make our healthcare workers on the frontline more effective and efficient, and make our products safer to use
  • The consumer and macro-economic trends driving growth in the flexible packaging market today, for both consumer package goods (CPGs) and healthcare products
  • How novel packaging formats such as inverted pouches, vertical/horizontal form-fill-seal, premade pouch solutions, and novel materials are being leveraged in healthcare and other settings
  • How end-users are combining flexible packaging, automation solutions, and consumer data to become more agile, more sustainable, and more profitable
