Editorial

Irrespective of whether manufacturers opt for the conventional styles of packaging, or fancy packaging, it needs to fulfill a functional purpose to the product and maintain customer satisfaction.

 

At the Perfumes, Cosmetics & Design show in Paris, Ciba will demonstrate how to create a visual appeal for their products by using certain special effects such as transparency. They will however maintain content protection by safeguarding their products from the harmful effects of light and oxygen.

 

Dawnfresh Seafoods has developed the UK Seafood Industry's first compostable packaging bio-degradable solution with all the key components, including trays, lids, peach pads, and C-strap labels, made from compostable or bio-degradable materials.

 

Grupo Angel Camacho S.L. has moved out of its traditional glass packaging and replaced it with a plastic jar, for their Spanish olive, pickle and specialty foods processor.
