As consumers and legislators demand more environmentally friendly packaging, and e-commerce continues to drive new and innovative packaging designs that may require new machinery to implement, the packaging market must be ready to pivot quickly.

A report from PMMI Business Intelligence based on conversations between CPGs and OEMs at PACK EXPO’s Top to Top said, “Given the amount of ongoing change, machine flexibility is key, with rapid changeover times and machines that are future-proofed to handle new materials an absolute must.”

Top to Top Summit is an annual three-day networking event of high-level executives in the packaging and processing industry, who meet to discuss industry problems and solutions with the aim of improving industry outcome. Sponsored by PMMI, this year’s meeting (the 15th annual) was held in conjunction with PACK EXPO Las Vegas.

End users who participated in the discussion plan to work more closely with all suppliers (including OEMs) to better understand the supply chain, as well as with their regulatory teams to better understand new legislation around sustainable materials. End users also reported that they look for OEMs to offer new ideas, and new technologies with creative solutions to problems.
