Your go-to hub for insightful articles, comprehensive industry reports, and over 130+ hours of engaging webinar content.
In this webinar, you'll learn from Packnomics LLC Consultant Kevin Howard the best ways to minimize product landed costs. Kevin will explain the silo effect, a product of poor communication of goals between departments, and why packaging engineers are uniquely positioned to contribute to these discussions.
FoodChain ID sustainability experts chart the course of global packaging regulations driven by sustainability. Prepare to get insights on:
In an effort to streamline costs and meet sustainability targets, the consumer products industry has been using pooled pallets. Historically, the pallets were made from a wood construction. In the last 10 years, plastic pallets have become more common and there is a growing movement in the market to shift to plastic pallets. Both pallet types have their own benefits and features, and our panelists will discuss how to choose the right pallet type and successfully implement the pallets into your packaging systems.
Packaging sustainability is full of big promises and even bigger challenges. This webinar takes a practical look at the “supply paradox,” food-grade PCR requirements, and the real costs behind sustainable polymers. You’ll also get an inside look at the current state of compostable films, from supply chain hurdles to what’s actually working in the field. The session wraps up with the tough conversations many are avoiding, including EPR realities, cost vs. performance tradeoffs, greenwashing concerns, and what the future may truly hold for sustainable packaging.
Gain valuable insight into the major trends directing the course of the pharmaceutical industry. From the growth of fully automated processes to the continued digital integration of operations, pharmaceutical manufacturers are seeking strategies that improve throughout to accommodate increased product customization and changing dosage formats. This webinar explores the most significant challenges facing pharmaceutical manufacturers, touching on the efforts to meet serialization deadlines and the ongoing supply chain issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This webinar looks at how AI is already changing packaging at Newell Brands, moving from early exploration to practical, day-to-day use.
Kevin Brong, Newell Brands' VP of Packaging Engineering, covers how his team uses AI as a development and validation partner, and how it's bringing design, cost, supply chain, and consumer inputs together sooner, allowing teams to evaluate trade-offs before they become costly.
Hear how he's scaling this approach into a more connected, end-to-end workflow, where AI supports faster, more informed packaging decisions across the organization.

What's next for chemicals of concern in packaging? You’ve heard the legal updates—now let’s talk action. This webinar builds on recent regulatory discussions and offers practical guidance you can apply right away. Led by one of the country’s top food science and packaging experts, Dr. Claire Sand, this live session will share smart strategies and real-world examples, including:
This presentation explores the difference between waterfall and agile, two commonly used project management methodologies, why it is important for your projects and incorporating a hybrid approach for tackling your project launches.
This presentation looks at the stages of package testing. With the critical roll-out of vaccines, it is inevitable that society will look for newer, better and more efficient ways to distribute doses. That requires new package designs. New designs require initial package validation (Helium), ongoing package testing during stability (requires non-destructive testing) and then production. Different technologies and solutions are targeted for specific stages of pharmaceuticals development. This presentation outlines container closure integrity solutions based on this approach.
E-commerce continues to grow rapidly. While it provides a safe and convenient option for businesses and consumers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, evolving needs are driving the need for massive innovation to meet new challenges. One area where this is occurring is cold chain packaging, and the need for sustainable insulation, among other things, for perishable e-commerce shipments. This presentation examines e-commerce and the cold chain packaging landscape and options, and more.
Generative AI is rapidly reshaping the packaging industry, moving from experimentation to real-world implementation. Today, more than 80% of organizations are actively pursuing Gen AI initiatives to drive innovation, automate complex tasks, improve decision-making, and increase operational efficiency. In this presentation, McKinsey experts will examine how packaging companies are putting Gen AI to work across their organizations and the impact it is having on business performance. They'll also discuss common implementation challenges and share strategies for building a successful Gen AI roadmap through targeted pilot programs, workforce development, and cross-functional adoption.
