Overview

Packaging can be difficult to manage. You need it, but you put off making a change because it’s complex. You might not have experienced packaging resources in-house. Between the cultural issues of producing packaging in other countries, cost inefficiencies, transport, sustainability regulations and managing dozens or hundreds of SKUs, it can be daunting.

In the past, staying with the status quo and relying on your product factories to supply packaging was acceptable. In today’s unpredictable environment, you need to wring the most value out of your packaging program and produce in a more sustainable way. You need transparency into what you pay for packaging and understand the cost to use the packaging throughout your supply chain.

Feeling overwhelmed? We’ve got you covered!

If packaging is a priority and you are ready to act, you’ll want to attend.

Please join us for an informative and interactive evening where we’ll cover a broad range of packaging topics including: benefits of packaging optimization, cost-effective strategies, and information about sustainable practices to keep you compliant with laws and regulations.
