Editorial

This week’s innovations in the packaging industry kick starts with the advent of the NCI packaging shop at Northcote, Australia.

It is truly a boon to the packaging sector, that for the first time it offers its customers the convenience of purchasing packaging materials as per their requirements.

BASF continues to contribute to the growth of the plastic packaging industry. The company will produce plastic packaging, incorporating an antimicrobial agent to protect the food quality. Though this venture is restricted to the European markets at the moment, the company definitely has a global plan.
