Form, Function, Design: The Future of Flexible Packaging
The meeting place for the flexible packaging value chain
Flexible Packaging Innovation and Recycling was the fresh new evolution of our 15th annual Multilayer Flexible Packaging conference – now broader, sharper, and more future focused. This revamped edition reflected the full spectrum of innovation across the flexible packaging markets of the Americas, from next-gen materials and performance design to processing technology and end-of-life strategies.
