VIDEO: Flexible packaging, traceability, coding trends from Pack Expo
Jorge Izquierdo, VP of Market Development at PMMI, discusses the emerging trends in flexible package as well as how traceability, coding and labeling is even more important considering Food Safety Modernization Act and legislation like it. Finally, editor-in-chief Andy Hanacek asks Izquierdo about the current state of sustainability efforts.
Andy Hanacek: Hi everyone, this is Andy Hanacek with The National Provisioner, and I’m here with my good friend Jorge from PMMI. Thank you again for joining me here at Pack Expo. We’re in Chicago this year, and it’s been a good show so far for us. I wanted to get some thoughts from you on some of the trends driving the packaging industry. Thanks for your time, and I’ll jump right in. Flexible Packaging [is] kind of a fast riser. A lot of the things I’ve seen in terms of trends and growth talks about flexible packaging as a fast riser among packaging types. Do you still see that to be the case, and if so, what are some of the things driving flexible packaging?
