Flexible packs finish first
22.05.12
Last year may have been rocky as far as the global economy was concerned. Some businesses are still shaky. But innovation in flexible packaging was steady and strong. Here's proof: A whopping 26 packages have earned recognition in the 2012 Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards from the Flexible Packaging Assn.
These outstanding packages won 32 Achievement Awards within one or more categories including: Packaging Excellence; Printing Achievement; Technical Innovation; and Environmental & Sustainability Achievement.
Judges of this year's competition were Michael Richmond, PhD, co-founder, Packaging & Technology Integrated Solutions (PTIS); Larry Ahleman, master faculty specialist, Western Michigan University; and yours truly. I don't know that I've ever seen a group of flexible packages function as well as this year's winners. They not only looked good, they opened and poured and sat up and resealed with ease.
