Future of packaging to be discussed at Brussels event

Joanna Stephenson

THE European Flexographic Industry Association (EFIA) has announced that its marketing director Joanna Stephenson will present an insight into future packaging industry trends at the Shaping the Future of Print: Packaging Conference 2019, which will be held in Brussels next month.

Hosted by IntegrafFTA Europe and Smithers Pira, the conference will focus on the European printed packaging sector, with speakers addressing the likes of different technologies, materials and industry challenges.

Joanna said, “Never has it been more important for businesses to be aware of wider industry and sector activity. In such a competitive landscape, being able to acknowledge and respond to market trends as they happen, or even before, is critical to success. Following key market and customer trends allow a business to tailor its operations to best suit the current market situation and prepare for any upcoming fluctuations. As we are likely to see further volatility in 2019, analysing future trends are a crucial tool in leveraging success within today’s fast-paced print and packaging markets.”

Speakers from Smithers Pira and Pack4Food, along with EFIA member Parkside Flexibles and SunBranding Solutions will also present at the event, which takes place on February 21 at the Hotel Metropole.
