World Packaging Organisation

A large part of WPO?s mission today is about education. While many of our members are involved in basic packaging education, WPO?s programs tend toward educating a person who has found themselves suddenly working in packaging within their company.

In light of increasing integration along the entire production chain, the EMBALLAGE and MANUTENTION exhibitions have confirmed their complementary nature by becoming ALL4PACK Paris, the global marketplace for Packaging, Processing, Printing & Handling. This marks a strategic move in response to buyers? expectations and reinforces the event?s key position for the EMEA region at an international level. With 13 months to go before ALL4PACK Paris opens, the new setup is attracting attention and registration numbers are rising.

Thinking Outside the Box - The Next Decade of Packaging

Packaging directors should be open minded and literally think outside the box, advises Dr Joseph Hotchkiss, Director, School of Packaging & Director, Center for Packaging Innovation and Sustainability, Michigan State University. ?They should think about packaging in a much broader sense. The most far-reaching ideas will be the winners in the marketplace,? he adds.

Mr. Davide Malki

President

Laem System srl

Laem has been one of the first companies to believe in the turret slitter rewinders, and our experience in custom made solutions (Ex. TR 415 or TR 405), allowed us to create the RB4 series, which today is one of the best machines in the market in terms of price:quality ratio. In the past ten years, I would say every single machine that we have shipped to customers was somewhat different from the previous one. As I mentioned before, this also helped us to grow and improve our technology and the machine?s performance.
