Printing United Expo Power Hour: Packaging
from Podcasts From The Printerverse
The PRINTING United Expo Power Hour turns its focus to packaging, with a conversation about convergence, flexible packaging, digital printing, new applications, education, and opportunities for printers and converters to expand their capabilities and enter growing markets. Deborah Corn and co-host Ashley Roberts are joined by Cory Francer to discuss how commercial printers are moving into packaging, how digital printing technologies are lowering barriers to entry, and why labels, flexible packaging, corrugated, and displays are creating opportunities for printers and brands. Mark Pomerantz brings his sales and industry perspective to the conversation, discussing the growth of flexible packaging, what it takes to enter the market successfully, opportunities to cross over into branded merchandise, and why PRINTING United Expo attendees should focus on conversations and connections as much as technology. Denise Gustavson shares how PRINTING United Expo education can help attendees evaluate new markets, technologies, and business opportunities. She also highlights packaging-focused sessions covering convergence, brand owner dynamics, print and packaging buyers, sustainability, and industry trends. Joshua Carruth, EVP, Expositions at PRINTING United Alliance, closes out the Power Hour with a look at packaging at PRINTING United Expo and opportunities to explore technology, applications, education, and connections across the show floor.
