2021 marked a renewed interest in sustainability. This month, we explore how active and intelligent packaging plays a role in reaching sustainability goals. In this issue, we also talk to a young scientist/entrepreneur who has developed a new generation of cold chain packaging technology. The December issue also has info on the technology driving case sealing. Plus, a look at how brands use humor to connect with consumers.
On this episode of Packaging Perspectives, we talk to Ben Shore, the Founder and CEO of Minus Works, an American manufacturer of sustainable, high-performance gel packs.
Converting from standard flat tape application to one with a folded edge has the potential to revolutionize case sealing, whether automated or done by hand.
