CONTAGEM
REGRESSIVA...
P
ara o ponto de encontro
da indstria de alimentos
e bebidas, a 30 edio
da Fispal Tecnologia,
...
que acontecer de 3 a
6 de junho, no Pavilho
do Anhembi, em So
Paulo, reunindo mais
de duas mil marcas que apresentaro as tendncias
do mercado para cerca de 60 mil profissionais. Res-
ponsvel por apresentar a evoluo tecnolgica em
embalagens, mquinas, equipamentos, processos
e logstica para atender a indstria de alimentos e
bebidas, que movimentou R$ 431,9 bilhes em 2012,
segundo dados da Associao Brasileira da Indstria
de Alimentos (ABIA), a feira representa segmentos
que tm demonstrado crescimento forte, como vidro,
com 9,31%, e metlicas, com 7,57%.
Para 2014, empresas de massas e biscoitos projetam
expanso no faturamento na faixa de 3 a 7%, em re-
lao ao ano passado, segundo a Associao Brasileira
das Indstrias de Massas Alimentcias e Po e Bolo
Industrializados (Abima). A Associao Brasileira do
Papelo Ondulado, ABPO, divulgou bons nmeros
para 2014. Fabricantes j mantinham, em 2013,
perspectivas de aumento de 4% nos despachos de
chapas, placas e acessrios, acima dos 2,5 a 3% esti-
mados para o ano anterior. J o mercado de garrafas
de vidro, somente em 2013 j previa crescimento
de 20%, segundo notcias do Instituto Brasileiro do
Vinho (Ibravin).
O Estudo Brasil Pack Trends 2020, do Instituto de
Tecnologia de Alimentos (ITAL) revela que o Brasil
destaca-se na reciclagem de embalagens de alumnio,
com ndice acima de 97%, em comparao com Japo,
EUA, Europa e Argentina. Em relao reciclagem de
PET, fica abaixo somente do Japo. E na reciclagem
de papelo, o Brasil est acima de Europa e Argentina.
200_Carta ao Leitor.indd 4

O Brasil tambm o principal mercado para produ-
tos longa vida na Amrica do Sul e o segundo maior
no mundo, atrs apenas da China. Dados do The
Canadian Institute Business Information in a Global
Context atestam que, em 2013, foram comerciali-
zadas mais de 14 bilhes de unidades de embalagens
longa vida no Brasil. Para a gerente de Marketing da
Sig Combibloc para Amrica do Sul, Luciana Galvo,
a expectativa que, em 2018, estes nmeros supe-
rem 20 bilhes o que representa um crescimento
de cerca de 7% ao ano em unidades.
Outro ponto que merece destaque nesta edio que
a necessidade de reduzir custo e otimizar o tempo
de entrega com maior disponibilidade de produtos
far com que as empresas invistam cada vez mais no
sistema logstico. De acordo com o vice-presidente
de Comercializao e de Marketing da Associao
Brasileira de Logstica (Abralog), Edson Carrilo Jr,
estas atividades tm influncia direta no resultado
da empresa, pois compem uma parcela importante
das despesas (de 8 a 12% do faturamento), ainda
no que se refere ao nvel de servio ao cliente, como
disponibilidade e prazo de entrega. Os custos ainda
so altos. Gastamos aproximadamente 11,5% do Pro-
duto Interno Bruto (PIB) brasileiro com logstica, o
que retira competitividade das empresas brasileiras,
deveramos gastar algo como 8,5%, aponta.
E para fechar os pontos altos desta edio, entre-
vistamos Daniel di Santi Corra, Group Leader na
Mondelez Brasil, que nos revelou a relao da empresa
com o nosso assunto-chave: a embalagem.
Boa leitura!

 POR THAIS MARTINS

C
om formao em engenharia mecnica, Daniel
di Santi Corra, Group Leader na Mondelz
Brasil, entrou na rea de embalagens por acaso.
Um amigo o convidou para trabalhar na Dixie
Toga e, a partir da, passou a se interessar pelo mercado.
Todo mundo dizia que quem entra nesse setor, se apaixona.
Comigo no foi diferente, afirma.
Corra teve algumas oportunidades interessantes dentro da
Dixie Toga, podendo acompanhar o surgimento de novas
tecnologias, que trouxeram para o executivo conhecimento
na parte de converso, estruturas, barreiras e funcionali-
dades das embalagens. Aps 10 anos de casa, passou a integrar
o time da Amcor Flexibles, trabalhando com embalagens fle-
xveis focadas na rea mdico-hospitalar (chamada de emba-
lagem para esterilizao); depois atuou na parte de usurio
final na Cadbury e, em seguida, aps fuso da empresa com a
Kraft, assumiu o cargo de Group Leader na Mondelz Brasil.
A meta , cada vez mais, fazer a embalagem ser percebida
como valor dentro dos negcios da companhia.

e, ele mesmo, nos d as respostas.
Como o caso do Trident, sua emba-

embalagem pode ser refechada. Isso
um atributo valiosssimo, voc pode

der se esquecer disso. No adianta
ficar inventando o que j funciona,
simples e funcional. E este atributo
no veio por acaso, fruto de uma
srie de pesquisas. Hoje, a Mondelz
realiza muitas pesquisas para produ-
tos. No Brasil, temos poucas pesqui-

este um trabalho que estamos come-

de ter uma relao muito forte com
marketing, fbrica e o departamento

ser bacana, mas tambm tem que
atender aos requisitos das linhas.

investimento, diversificao e o suporte dos prprios fornecedores
de matrias-primas, convertedores, pois no temos acesso a tudo. A
Mondelz, em termos de embalagem, est se estruturando ainda mais.
Temos um laboratrio bastante completo e estamos ampliando-o,
trazendo mais equipamentos e ferramentas para que possamos ser o
mais autnomo possvel no desenvolvimento. Por outro lado, existem
processos que ainda no temos domnio e precisamos do suporte da
cadeia para chegar ao resultado final.
PACK: Algum case inovador que se destaque?
Corra: O Sonho de Valsa um case bastante interessante. Temos
dados que o produto mantido crocante por mais tempo, considerado
mais higinico, sem perder a identidade que tinha no comeo. O twist
e a cor trouxeram uma inovao, mas no descaracterizou o produto,
o que muito importante.
J na linha de tabletes temos os sistemas de abre e fecha, tambm
percebidos pelo consumidor. O Halls XS vem em uma caixinha que
foi lanada h trs anos e ainda um produto de muito sucesso. No
Trident, temos o Global Connections, uma carteirinha em embalagem
carto que contm 7 ou 14 gomas e traz o apelo de sofisticao. Temos
vrias histrias interessantes.
PACK: A empresa destina uma verba especfica para o
desenvolvimento de suas embalagens?
Corra: O departamento de embalagem tem um oramento prprio.

Hoje, a tecnologia est muito dispo-

preciso compartilhar essas deman-

Brasil que, eventualmente, possa ser
aplicado para aquele tipo de produto

PACK: Dentro da sua categoria,
qual o carro-chefe?
Corra: O Trident. Na empresa
como um todo chocolates tem o
maior volume.
PACK: Qual a percepo dos
consumidores em relao aos
seus produtos?
Corra: A categoria de balas e gomas

pouco do que tentamos levar para a

Chiclets para uma faixa etria mais

PACK: E o que se destaca em

Corra: O Tang a marca que tem a
bandeira de sustentabilidade aqui no
Brasil. A companhia tem dentro de
suas metas um tpico especfico para
este assunto e o Tang quem puxa as
atividades. Apesar de ser uma tema
muito complexo, uma bandeira muito
importante para a companhia. Logo,
na medida do possvel, tentamos atuar
em todos os sentidos: consumindo me-

Temos atuao no Brasil inteiro. No

Thalls: tampas metlicas

agregam valor ao produto

D
e acordo com o diretor industrial da Thalls
Indstria Metalrgica Tampas de Alumnio,
Gilberto dos Santos Rodrigues, a tampa de
alumnio sempre teve como maior finalidade ser
um sistema de fechamento, vedao e proteo dos
produtos, mas, alm de vedar frascos, a tampa tambm
tem um importante papel na esttica do item final,
agregando valor e maior sofisticao aos produtos.
Presente no mercado h 10 anos, a Thalls tem como seu
principal alvo o segmento de cosmticos, tornando-se
especialista e apresentando tendncias. A empresa
emprega em seus trabalhos materiais nacionais e
importados de primeira qualidade no que se refere
aos mais variados tipos de tampas de alumnio, com
destaque para o sistema Pilfer Proof e os lacres com e
sem rosca. Para a diretora comercial, Maria Rosa Rossi,
as tampas de alumnio sero tendncias por serem
derivadas de um minrio de fonte esgotvel (bauxita).
Por ser um produto biodegradvel, o alumnio est
plenamente de acordo com as necessidades de
sustentabilidade que temos pela frente, aponta.
Entre as dificuldades apontadas pela empresa neste
setor, ressaltam-se os impostos altos, matria-prima
dolarizada e a falta de padronizao nos dimetros
dos frascos em geral.

Novidades em embalagens
refletem mercado crescente
no Brasil, e surpreendem com
inovao e sustentabilidade. O
potencial deste mercado pode
ser mensurado pelo aumento
da produo e do consumo,
alm de investimentos em
solues que ofeream segu-
rana alimentar e menor im-
pacto ambiental. O Estudo
Brasil Pack Trends 2020, do
Instituto de Tecnologia de
Alimentos (ITAL) e Centro
de Tecnologia de Embalagem
(CETEA), revelam que o setor
de embalagens emprega mais
de 220 mil pessoas no Brasil,
com a maior parcela ocupada
nos segmentos de plstico,
papel e papelo. Outros mate-
riais tambm tm nmeros lde-
res para o setor. O Brasil destaca-

Os nmeros positivos so
acompanhados por novas tec-
nologias da indstria de em-
balagem nacional, que esti-
mulam maneiras de consumir

Um dos exemplos o papel

Esta uma questo que pre-

tanto, h um fator favorvel
s embalagens: seu uso reduz
o desperdcio de alimentos de
maneira geral. A Masipack,
por exemplo, investiu em
tecnologias de verificao e
controle que oferecem maior
produtividade, com o menor
ndice de desperdcio de pro-
dutos durante o processo de
embalagem. Kim Iegoroff, do
departamento de Marketing
da companhia, cita o novo
modelo da Focus, com esteiras
de alinhamento e acionadores

da embalagem reduzir custo unitrio, preservar o produto na

Recentemente, a empresa desenvolveu uma forma de recolher
as aparas na produo que beneficia tanto na parte que se
refere ao meio ambiente e sustentabilidade, quanto sade
do colaborador e s necessidades da logstica. O mecanismo
de forma segura, sem o contato do colaborador, faz com que
as aparas caiam em uma valeta, protegida por grades, e sejam
levadas, como uma esteira rolante, at uma mquina que as
suga e as transporta at uma rea externa onde caem direto na
prensa. O processo mais rpido porque no precisa parar a
produo para recolher o excesso de aparas, d mais segurana ao
colaborador que no precisa fazer o manuseio, nem fazer movi-
mentos que prejudiquem sua sade e, ainda, garante que 100%

Para garantir a qualidade dos produtos
aos seus clientes, a grande experincia
da Limer-cart, que atua no segmento
de distribuio de filmes flexveis, a fez
desenvolver um controle que possui o

Assim, o sistema armazena os dados do

Reciclagem de PVC rende R$ 146,8 milhes

A
indstria de reciclagem de PVC no Brasil faturou R$ 146,8
milhes. Pesquisa da Maxiquim e do Instituto do PVC
mostra que as 84 recicladoras do material no Pas faturaram
juntas R$ 146,8 milhes em 2012, o que representa um cres-
cimento de 6% em relao ao observado no ano anterior (R$
138 milhes). Os dados apontam que o aumento do faturamento das
recicladoras resultado da comercializao de produtos reciclados com
maior valor agregado. A pesquisa afirma tambm que essas empresas,
que somam uma capacidade instalada de 82 mil toneladas, empregaram

um recorde desde que o Instituto
do PVC comeou a monitorar a
indstria de reciclagem em 2005.
Os recicladores de PVC no Brasil
localizam-se, principalmente,
nos estados das regies Sudeste
e Sul, com destaque para So
Paulo. Por ser um dos principais
na indstria de transformao de
plstico no Brasil e com grande
poder de consumo da populao,
o Estado de So Paulo possui a

A produo total de PVC reci-
clado no Brasil (considerando-se
resduos industriais e ps-consu-
mo) aumentou nos ltimos oito
anos. A variao, considerando
2012/2011, foi de 21%. Quando
se analisou apenas os resduos de
PVC ps-consumo, a pesquisa
mostrou que, em 2012, foram
recicladas 22.463 toneladas de
PVC, o que corresponde a um
ndice de reciclagem de 16,3%.
O ndice ficou acima da mdia
histrica que de 16% entre 2005
e 2012. A exceo foi em 2011,
um ano recorde em termos de
reciclagem do PVC.

Direto da Cave! Assunta Napolitano Camilo*

O brasileiro est descobrindo o prazer de um bom vinho e,

mais do que nunca, preciso acompanhar essa tendncia.
O Direto da Gndola deste ms foi at uma cave verificar
como esto as embalagens dos bons vinhos...

U
m dos pases mais tradicionais no cultivo vinicultura , sem dvida,
o Chile. O pas hermano investe nas suas plantaes de uvas e em
tecnologia para ter um produto com qualidade reconhecida mundi-
almente. As embalagens devem sempre ser a alma, a identidade do
produto. Dessa forma, devem estar alinhadas ao conceito entregue.
Tambm precisam ser decisivas no momento da verdade, ou seja, quando o
consumidor escolhe literalmente pela compra para participar do momento
mgico do consumo, em especial da degustao de um vinho charmoso.
A Bodega y Viedos Korta Bucarey, do Vale de Curic, no Chile, apresenta seu
vinho Marques del Nevado de uma gran reserva de 2011, com a devida classe
que merece. A garrafa fosqueada para dar um toque de sofisticao no sentido
ttil e visual. O rtulo autoadesivo em papel verg com a ilustrao da Cordilheira
dos Andes ao fundo desenhado em tons de cinza que definem bem a origem
do vinhedo. O contrarrtulo acompanha a mesma linha de apresentao.
Cada detalhe da embalagem foi estudado, dando uma bela demonstrao de
que devemos e podemos usar todos os recursos e espaos disponveis na criao.
O destaque vai para a cpsula de alumnio que, normalmente, negligenciada
pelos designers.
Alm da marca da empresa estampada no topo da cpsula, houve o cuidado
de decor-la com filetes dourados numa sequncia nica. Cinco filetes juntos
na parte superior e trs separados na parte inferior conferem um ar de nobreza
e distino ao produto.
Os filetes so repetidos no rtulo emoldurando o quadro da ilustrao atravs
do processo de hot stamping, que contemplou tambm a marca do vinho no
canto direito inferior como uma chancela. A cor ouro aplicada discretamente
na marca entra como uma sombra no nome Marques del Nevado e em gran
reserva, em meio a muito charme e elegncia, levando-me a afirmar que no
se trata apenas de uma embalagem, e sim de uma obra de arte, como um bom
vinho merece.
Alis, como diz um grande amigo: A vida curta para beber vinho ruim.
Curta a vida e beba vinho bom!. Preferencialmente numa bela embalagem,
pois tudo comea com ela.

Embalagem melhor promove um mundo melhor e mais gostoso!

Sustainable packaging Insights

Sustainable packaging is the development and use of packaging which results in improved
sustainability. This involves increased use of life cycle inventory (LCI) and life cycle assessment
(LCA) to help guide the use of packaging which reduces the environmental impact and
ecological footprint. It includes a look at the whole of the supply chain: from basic function, to
marketing, and then through to end of life (LCA) and rebirth.[4] Additionally, an eco-cost to value
ratio can be useful[5]

The goals are to improve the long term viability and quality of life for humans and the longevity
of natural ecosystems. Sustainable packaging must meet the functional and economic needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainability is not necessarily an end state but is a continuing process of improvement.

Sustainable packaging is a relatively new addition to the environmental considerations for

packaging (see Packaging and labeling). It requires more analysis and documentation to look at
the package design, choice of materials, processing, and life-cycle. This is not just the vague
"green movement" that many businesses and companies have been trying to include over the
past years.

Companies implementing these eco-friendly actions are reducing their carbon footprint, using
more recycled materials and reusing more package components.[8] They often encourage
suppliers, contract packagers, and distributors to do likewise.
For example, researchers at the Agricultural Research Service are looking into using
dairy-based films as an alternative to petroleum-based packaging. [1] Instead of being made of
synthetic polymers, these dairy-based films would be composed of proteins such as casein and
whey, which are found in milk. The films would be biodegradable and offer better oxygen
barriers than synthetic, chemical-based films. More research must be done to improve the water
barrier quality of the dairy-based film, but advances in sustainable packaging are actively being
pursued.

Environmental marketing claims on packages need to be made (and read) with caution.
Ambiguous greenwashing titles such as green packaging and environmentally friendly can be
confusing without specific definition. Some regulators, such as the US Federal Trade
Commission, are providing guidance to packagers.
Companies have long been reusing and recycling packaging when economically viable. Using
minimal packaging has also been a common goal to help reduce costs. Recent years have
accelerated these efforts based on social movements, consumer pressure, and regulation. All
phases of packaging, distribution, and logistics are included

Sustainable packaging is no longer focused on just recycling. Just as packaging is not the only
eco target, although it is still top of mind for many.

Right or wrong, packaging is frequently scrutinized and used as the measure of a company's
overall sustainability, even though it may contribute only a small percentage to the total eco
impact compared to other things, such as transportation, and water and energy use.

 For Pmmi, New Media Group Is About More Than Publications

PMMI beefed up its digital offerings with the purchase of Summit Media Group last fall. Since then, the
groups have been busy integrating, and just last week announced the launch of PMMI Media Groupa
new media company that will offer members and the industry a suite of communication tools and
resources.
At a joint committee meeting last week, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing
Technologies, pulled back the veilon the newly branded PMMI Media Group (PMG), a
business-to-business media company with print and digital offerings that the association says will provide
new ways to distribute content and interactive communication tools to members and the industry.
The creation of PMG comes just three months after PMMIannounced it had purchased Summit Media
Group, a well-known publications and event producer in the packaging and industrial automation industry.
We looked at our digital footprint and what it would take to really develop a robust digital platform like
theirs, with content marketing, video, everything else, and it was a pretty daunting task, said PMMI
President and CEO Charles D. Yuska. It turned out, when we approached Summit Media Group about a
possible acquisition, it turned out to be the right time for them and the right time for us to get together.
The decision to bring the media outfit into the PMMI fold adds a number of industry-specific publications
to the mix, but, according to Yuska and PMG President Joe Angel, it was about far more than just a
couple of magazines.
When PMMI acquired us, they acquired all of our technology, Angel said. Our portfolio of exclusive
tools includes world-class events, business intelligence, education, and workforce development
resources, and will help companies in the processing and packaging supply chain discover best practices
and grow their business.
It also gave PMG access to a trove of industry data that will be used to advance the associations position
as a thought leader. And PMG will play a big role in continuing to engage members and customers
throughout the year, beyond the organizations popular tradeshows like PMMIs Pack Expo.
We havent even begun to scratch the surface in terms of what well be doing with content marketing
throughout the year, said Angel. Traditionally, PMMI tradeshow websites would peak about a month
before the show and right after the show, and then all of a sudden it would fall off. PMGs reach is
substantial globally, so well be using that digital platform year round to communicate with all of the
customers and prospects of the PMMI members, and the packaging community as a whole to keep those
conversations going.
For Yuska, the PMGs success hinges on PMMIs ability to simply stay out of the way.
[Summit was] a very successful business, which is why we bought them, he said. From that standpoint,
Ive been really trying to tell my leadership, Listen, were not going to go in there and tell them how to run
their business. Theyre good at what they do. We just want to make sure that they continue to be
successful while giving them the tools that they need to do their job.

PMMI Announces Purchase of Summit Media Group, Inc.

PMMI Annual Meeting; Rosemont, Illinois; Sept. 16, 2014 - PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, has entered
into an agreement to purchase Summit Media Group, Inc., publisher of Packaging World, Automation
World, Healthcare Packaging and Contract Packaging. The sale is expected to conclude in late October,
according to PMMI Chairman Bill Crist, CEO, Kliklok-Woodman, who delivered the announcement at
PMMI's Annual Meeting today.

"Summit is a well-known, highly-respected publisher, with print publications and a significant digital
presence that truly complements PMMI's strategic plan. They bring to the table a fully developed platform,
an established audience and a high level of brand recognition - all within a proven business model," Crist
says.

"PMMI's strategic vision is to create opportunities where businesses and people along the packaging and
processing supply chain can convene to network, problem solve and do business," Crist adds. "The
robust platform Summit brings to the table will enhance our ability to do that."

"I think it's more than fair to say, PMMI's greatest competitive advantage lies in the strength of our trade
shows, programs and services," says PMMI President & CEO Charles D. Yuska, noting that the
multi-media platform will strengthen PMMI's position. "This platform will help connect our PACK EXPO
exhibitors with the trade show attendees year-round and will support the expanding group of expositions."

Summit President and CEO Joe Angel shares his enthusiasm. "The synergy between our two
organizations is one that will enable us both to move to the next level in terms of what we can offer our
subscribers, customers, PMMI members and the packaging and processing community as a whole. We're
very excited to become part of PMMI, with whom we've had a strong relationship for so many years, and
look forward to the new opportunities this strategic acquisition will make possible."

Under the agreement, the Summit Media Group staff will join the PMMI staff, with Summit offices
remaining in the Chicago area.

PMMI Buys Summit Media

Publisher-association relationships arent foreign to the B2B world, but they rarely go this far.
PMMI, a trade group for packaging and processing technologies, has agreed to purchase
Summit Media Group, a publisher with five titles in the same space.
Terms werent disclosed, though the deal is expected to close next month. Summit staff and
leadership will become employees of the association, with operations remaining headquartered
in Chicago.
The deal immediately gives PMMI, producer of five trade shows, an established year-round,
multi-platform connection to its audiencesomething the company had been exploring on its
own for the last 18 months, says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI.
A robust publishing and multimedia presence will be the foundation of our efforts to build a
year-round audience for our tradeshows and other products, he says. Building a platform
would take several years and a significant financial investment with no guarantee of success.
On the other hand, purchasing an existing, successful entity would mean much greater speed to
market and a faster return on our financial investment.
While integration on the marketing front is a central part of the deal, show sales will continue on
separately from media sales for now, Yuska says, though cross-platform buys will be available.
The merger makes PMMIs own magazine, PMT, redundant however. Itll be absorbed into
Summits title, Packaging World.

WITH PUBLISHING GROUP PURCHASE, PMMI EXPANDS MEMBER

BENEFITS
Build it or buy it? Thats the question PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies,
faced when it decided to expand its digital presence. The answer hinged on the groups ability to find a
complementary partner.

There was no doubt that PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, would
expand its digital offerings for membersthat was determined during a strategic planning session last
spring. How it would implement the digital strategy was a different question.
As we considered how to build a digital platform, it became clear there were two paths to choose from:
build it or buy it, PMMI President and CEO Charles D. Yuska said in an email exchange with
Associations Now. Building a platform would be a significant undertaking, requiring considerable staff
time and financial resources. On the other hand, purchasing a proven platform gives us significantly
greater speed to market and a faster potential return on our financial investment.
While exploring its options, PMMI identified Summit Media Group, a well-known publications and events
producer in the packaging and industrial automation industry, as a model of what it hoped to accomplish.
It rose to the top as an example of a successful digital enterprise, Yuska said. Our executive committee
realized our two organizations strongly complement each other, and Summits partners agreed.
At its annual meeting earlier this month, PMMI announced it had entered into an agreement to purchase
Summit Media Group, Inc. The sale, expected to close in late October, will bring Summits staff into the
fold, along with its many publications. PMMIs editorial staffwhich produces PMT magazinewill be
integrated into Summits titles, according to Yuska.
Summit is a well-known, highly respected publisher, with print publications and a significant digital
presence that truly complements PMMIs strategic plan, PMMI Chairman Bill Crist said in a statement.
[Our] vision is to create opportunities where businesses and people along the packaging and processing
supply chain can convene to network, problem-solve, and do business. The robust platform Summit
brings to the table will enhance our ability to do that.
The goals for the new platform are threefold: increase attendance at PMMI tradeshows, increase and
diversify revenue, and enhance the organizations status as an authority and thought leader in the
industry.
Our focus is always on finding solutions that will support all of our key audiences, Yuska said. We didnt
go into the process thinking about acquiring a publishing house. We went in thinking about supporting our
strategic plan, our members, their customers, and our industry. We had to ask ourselves: Who are we
serving, what do they need, and how can PMMI best serve them?

Packaging World to present packaging buying cycle research

Summit Media Groups VP Digital & Custom Media Dave Newcorn will present on the topic of the
packaging buying cycle at The Packaging Conference 2014, February 3-5 in Orlando, FL.

The preponderance of product information now available online has transformed how todays B2B
companies make purchase decisions. Sales representatives are often contacted long after their
customers have fully researched their products, services and competition. AtThe Packaging Conference,
February 3-5 in Orlando, Summit Media Groups VP Digital & Custom Media, Dave Newcorn, will look at
how the Internet-enabled buyer has changed the traditional buying cycle for packaging equipment,
containers, materials and services.
In his presentation Mastering the Packaging Buying Cycle for Fun and Profit, Newcorn will present
proprietary research from Packaging World. Study results will shed light on both packager and supplier
behavior, and offer insights on how buyers and sellers can position themselves to best leverage the new
paradigm.
Packaging World is the exclusive media partner for this years event. The Packaging Conference will be
held at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, FL. More information on the conference is available at
www.thepackagingconference.com.

Packages that need a makeover

Some packages have been annoying for so long that it seems as if manufacturers are teasing us all. Why,
in 2013, must consumers open a box of farina pretty much as they have for decades, by pushing in a
cutout on the side of the box? How many times have you opened a bag of chips only to have it split and
spill the contents?
Patrick Reynolds, editor of the trade publication Packaging World, blames economics. These are mostly
low-margin, commodity products that yield small profits, he says. There isnt a lot of motivation for
companies to rip out equipment in their plants thats bought and paid for and invest in new machinery, no
matter how horrible the packaging. Frito-Lay, for instance, abandoned an experiment to outfit snack bags
with a resealable zippered closure because of cost, says Joe Angel, publisher of Packaging World, and
besides, they want people to eat all the chips all at once.
Weve rounded up some familiar culprits and contacted companies to find out why they couldnt do better.

Kettle chip bag

The issue. You need a strong but delicate touch to pull the bag open without causing it to split apart and
spill chips.
The companys response. Its always great to hear from a fan. We want you to know that we are always
looking to improve based on feedback from our consumers. Then the company offered us coupons.

Comet Cleanser
The issue. The cardboard container and metal top deteriorate in moisture, and powder kicks up through
holes in the nonclosable lid when you set it down.
The companys response. The limitations of the container are by design, to make it recyclable.

Cream of Wheat
The issue. The paperboard box has a spout you create by poking a finger through a precut template.
When you pour, cereal tends to get stuck inside the box, and you cant reseal the carton.
The companys response. We are sure your suggestion for a metal pour spout for the Cream of Wheat
cereals would be a great success. In fact, many of our consumers have requested this. Unfortunately we
currently do not have the machinery to apply this type of packaging.

Gold Medal Flour

The issue. The flour is tightly packed into a delicate paper sack thats tricky to handle without tearing or
making a mess.
The companys response. Its very classic and the way its always been, a customer-service rep said.
And flour is an openly traded commodity. We dont make much money on it.

Summit Media Group Names New CEO

Summit Media Group has named Joseph Angel its president and CEO. He takes over for co-founder
Lloyd Ferguson who will remain as a consultant after heading the company for 20 years.
Angel (pictured) has been with the b-to-b publisher, events producer and custom media provider since its
opening in 1993, and continues as publisher of Packaging World and Contract Packaging. Packaging
World is the largest of the companys five publications with a monthly circulation of more than 65,000 and
about 74,000 monthly unique website visits, per BPA.
"Were going to keep on the course were on," Angel says. "We will continue to adapt and continue to
invest in our digital media properties, as well as sustain our print, but we dont see any big changes."
Angel cites the companys recent Playbook projects as an element of the business that hed like to
continue to develop moving forward.
The initiative, started two years ago, serves exclusive how-to content on a specific project or topic to
readers. Readers must fill out an in-depth questionnaire about their own project needs-things like goals,
budgets and timelines-to get access to the content. That detailed breakdown of each consumers needs
gets forwarded to sponsors of the Playbook.
"Its been an incredible product for us," he says. "The sponsors get these intelligence reports that show
them someone is actively pursuing a project."
Aside from focusing on Playbook production, Angel says the company would like to increase its emphasis
on video, rolling out series across each of its five brands.

EXPO Internationals Pharmaceutical Pavilion

Summit Media Sees Bright Future in Lead-Gen Tech, Custom Content

Summit Media Groups trajectory in b2b media since launching its flagship title Packaging World in 1993
is not uncommon at first glanceit went from print to print/Web/event hybrid. Look a little deeper, though,
and you see a company that has been remarkably nimble at growing its business in a challenging
economy. When print advertising got shaken by the double-whammy of the Web explosion and worldwide
recession, Summit Media invested in lead-generation technology and in expanding its Packworld.com
user base, and these gambles are paying off.

The company is now being asked by other publishers to license its lead-gen technology, and
Packworld.com, its main site serving the packaging industry, now has more than 100,000 registered
users, according to Joe Angel, vice president/publisher of Summit Media Group Inc.

Angel started Summit Media with partner Lloyd Ferguson in 1993, and the 1990s were good years for the
monthly Packaging World, as they were for many b2b publications. In 2003 Summit Media
launchedAutomation World, also a monthly, which covers plant operation and related IT software and
processes. The growth continued with the launch of Healthcare Packaging, a bimonthly serving the
pharma and medical device packaging industry, and Contract Packaging, which is published three times a
year and is the official publication of the Contract Packaging Association. Summit also publishes the
PACK EXPO Showcase issue for the annual PACK EXPO show, sponsored by the Packaging Machinery
Manufacturers Institute.

The companys newest brands are Shelf Impact, a custom e-newsletter that covers brand strategies and
packaging design, and Greener Package, an online-only play that serves as a knowledge exchange for
companies investing in sustainable packaging. On the events side, Summit held its Sustainable
Packaging Symposium in Chicago on March 16-18, and coming up in April is its Packaging Automation
Forum, with the Healthcare Packaging Conference and Workshop following in May.

Just this month, Summit Media announced the formation of a custom media division, which is being
headed by longtime Summit executive Dave Newcorn, who is serving as the units VP of digital and
custom media.

In the following Q&A, Jo Angel shares with minonline some of Summit Medias monetization strategies
and details about the companys homegrown lead-gen techology.

minonline: Lets start with your newest brand, Greener Package. Whats the business model?

Joe Angel: The revenue model for the Greener Package Web site comes from three sources: lead-gen
programs, display advertising and a unique supplier membership program. We offer different levels of
membership sponsorships. So a company can come in, take a top-level sponsorship, which is around
15,000, or they can come in and be a lower-level sponsor. We have an email newsletter component with
that as well that we sell sponsorships for. All companies that want to invest in sponsoring on Greener
Package must be accepted by a third-party review for sustainable claims. The GP database is the official
entry point for Walmarts packaging scorecard, a deal announced late in 2009.

minonline: Youre using a similar model for Summit Medias other sites?

Angel: Yes. For Packworld.com, for Automationworld.comfor all of our Web productswe sell
sponsorships, and that is tied in to some of our lead-generation products. We also have pure
branding-only opportunities, but provide metrics via Google.

minonline: Who was the driving force behind Summit Medias lead-gen technology?
Angel: Dave Newcorn. One of his attributes is that he was Packaging Worlds editor, so he knows the
business very well. We actually hired him in 1995 as an editor, but he just loves online stuff, and we made
him our VP of e-media and gave him his own department, including hiring an in-house Web developer,
Tom Wolf, who is a genius. Dave and Tom have been very innovative, and weve organically developed
our own technology for most of our Web products. We have this one-click technology, which we apply to
all of our Web lead-generation products. The technology we use offers full contact reportingpermission
basedand gives an advertiser complete information with name, company, address, email, phone, and
tells you what specific call-to-action item they clicked on and even what time.

minonline: What makes it one click technology?

Angel: We invested a lot of money in our circulation, and what weve done is marry the technology from
the Web with our database on the back end. So when John Smith or Jane Smith from Procter & Gamble
comes in and views a video, if theyre not registered, theyve got to register. And then every subsequent
time they visit our site they dont have to register, because we already have their information. So if they
click on a white paper today and two hours later they go to a video, they wont have to register again, yet
the advertiser will get full contact information. So its a very user-friendly experience, and we clearly put a
disclaimer there that by clicking on this video, youve agreed to release your information to an advertiser.

minonline: And if you choose not to agree to release your information?

Angel: Then you put yourself in a bucket of people whose information we dont release. Its been working
real well. We have 109,000 registered users of our Web products, and weve generated over 600,000
leads for our customers in the last three years. We have about an 80% renewal rate on our Web
products, so weve really grown that portion of our business. We're very proud of this, and it motivates us
to continue innovating. It's the reality of the Web.

minonline: That represents what percentage of Summit Medias revenue?

Angel: We anticipate that the Web will be about 25-30% of our overall revenue in 2011. And a lot of thats
going to come from the custom division that weve launched.

minonline: And where does print fit in?

Angel: Id be lying if I said the decline in print advertising hasnt taken its toll, but 2009 aside, last year we
grew pretty significantly in printwe grew about 20%. We put together an "SMG Network" integrated
package for our customers that incorporates print and any type of online product, and what it has done is
encourage print spending. It calculates a monthly payment, so we dont nickel and dime them with 10
different invoices.

minonline: Where do you see the largest potential for revenue growth looking ahead at the rest of 2011
and into 2012?

Angel: Were going to have a real opportunity with custom content and marketing services. Were going to
be developing custom e-newsletters, e-show dailies, micrositesand I see a really big upswing in our
revenue this year from that. And we'll continue investing in eventsI'm convinced nothing will replace
face-to-face interaction, no matter what technology brings.

PACK EXPO Welcomes the Center for Trends & Technology Back to Las
Vegas
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PACK EXPO Welcomes the Center for Trends & Technology Back to Las Vegas
Popular show floor feature, sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork Program,

Reston, Va.; May 1, 2015 PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Las Vegas Convention
Center; Sept. 2830) welcome back the Center for Trends and Technologies: Improving Production
Through Innovation (CTT) (Booth C-4829), sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork
Program.
Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PACK EXPO owner and producer PMMI, The Association for
Trends and Technologies, notes CTT will be more relevant than ever at this years show, which includes
the Las Vegas debut of Pharma EXPO, produced in partnership by PMMI and the International Society for

industry-leading PACK EXPO trade shows, an expansion that increases the relevance of CTT, Lange
says.
PACK EXPO shows are evolving and growing in parallel with the industry, and as they do, CTTs role at
the show becomes more critical. The technologies and trends Rockwell Automation and its
PartnerNetwork Program showcase at CTT present major implications for production lines and more
efficient operations across all vertical markets, Lange says.
Our shows keep growing, and in 2015, were on track to break the records in place for attendance,
exhibitors and exhibit space. This PACK EXPO event will deliver a wealth of opportunity because of its
size, quality of exhibitors, and features such as CTT. PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015
will be a cant-miss event, Yuska adds.

Personal Care Packaging Market Headed for Growth and Global

Expansion
Follow PMMI on Twitter: @PMMIorg
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Personal Care Packaging Market Headed for Growth and Global Expansion
PMMIs latest study explores personal care packaging trends; PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma
EXPO 2015 deliver solutions.
Reston, Va.; May 6, 2015 A new market assessment report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer of PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO
2015 (Sept. 2830; Las Vegas Convention Center), predicts 5.5 percent annual growth for the global
personal care packaging market through 2019. Personal Care Market Assessment also examines global
trends, drivers and opportunities from the choice of materials to operations.
Growth in formats and materials
Bottles account for 30 percent of the market and are expected to grow an additional 28 percent through
2019, making them the most commonly used container format in this market. Cartons are catching up,
however, showing the greatest growth from 20102014 from 9 to 19 percent of the market. As for
materials, plastic is the most popular for personal care packaging, accounting for 61 percent of materials
used. PMMIs study projects plastic will remain dominant, growing 12 percent by 2019.

Brand owners are seeking out ways to reduce waste by using less packaging overall as consumers
demand for convenience has led to a surge in smaller, more portable packages. Well-developed markets,
including North America and Europe, are expected to see slower growth rates in cosmetics than
developing markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Additional factors driving the personal care
market include an expanding focus on sustainability, evolving consumer demands, innovations in
machinery and materials, flexible equipment and globalization.
See the Change for Yourself
The shifts in consumer audiences and their demands make the need for flexibility even more important to
personal care product packaging. To keep up with audience shifts, trends, technologies and industry
challenges, personal care industry professionals can turn to Pharma EXPO, produced in cooperation by
PMMI and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). Co-located with PACK EXPO
Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center; September 28-30), Pharma EXPOs Las Vegas debut
will present the event's 30,000 attendees with a variety of equipment and material solutions from 2,000
exhibitors across more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. This industry-leading event
provides access to the latest processing and packaging technologies, opportunity for cross-pollinating
ideas across industries, networking with peers and suppliers and insights from a diverse range of
educational programming.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas will showcase ideas and technologies for handling these and other
developments, with The Brand Zone spotlighting containers and materials innovations. To register for
PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO, visitwww.packexpolasvegas.com ($30, increasing to $100 after Sept.

Food Safety Summit Resource Center Returns to PACK EXPO Las Vegas

Reston, Va.; May 11, 2015 The Food Safety Summit Resource Center (Booth S-7632),
organized and brought to you by the Food Safety Summit, will return to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
and Pharma EXPO (Sept. 2830, 2015; Las Vegas Convention Center), according to show
owner and producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and
the Food Safety Summit.
The Food Safety Summit Resource Center, a regular PACK EXPO feature since 2010, brings
together experts in food production and food safety for a series of educational opportunities.
Subject matter experts will provide information focused on best practices and recent advances
on the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) as well
as important topics including HACCP, food fraud, federal and state regulations, environmental
monitoring, allergens and compliance issues.
Since FSMA was announced in 2011, manufacturers have, out of necessity, been
hyper-focused on food safety issues, says Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI. The
Food Safety Summit Resource Center gives PACK EXPO attendees a chance to get the
specific information they need to stay abreast of this important issue.
FSMA rules, which are still in the process of being finalized, attack food safety concerns
proactively, taking a stance that favors prevention over recovery.
Food safety violations and product recalls will cost your company money and devalue your
brand. Thats unacceptable at best. The Food Safety Summit Resource Center is a place where
PACK EXPO attendees address their specific questions with leading experts so they can
return to the office better educated and ready to put plans into motion to avoid violations and
recalls, says Scott Wolters, event director, Food Safety Summit.

OpX Leadership Network Releases Guide to Increased Productivity

Through Workforce Engagement

Reston, Va.; May 15, 2015 The OpX Leadership Networks Workforce Engagement Solutions Group
released its first resource, Workforce Engagement, last week at IndustryWeek Best Plants Conference &
Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Workforce Engagement is a critical issue in American businesses, said Tom Egan, PMMI vice president
of Industry Services. Gallup estimates that the U.S. economy lost between $450 and $550 billion in
productivity in 2013 due to disengaged workers. This document serves as a practical guide to avoiding
that loss from people who are part of solving this problem at their own companies.
Group Chair Greg Flickinger, Ph.D., vice president of Manufacturing and Corporate Engineering,
Snyders-Lance, presented this resource, produced by manufacturing industry thought leaders. The paper
provides an employable strategy for increasing engagement throughout the chain of command, ensuring
staff is invested in a companys success and reaching common goals. This resource guides readers
through a process of empowering a companys workforce to make and own decisions to create an active
team that can take actions that lead to positive results.
"The engagement framework provides a roadmap of universal principles that enable and nurture a culture
of ownership, Flickinger says. Understanding the many contributing factors will help leadership make
improvements in their culture to unlock discretionary effort and commensurate performance. It took over
two years to codify the key elements used by successful leaders to authentically and consistently make
the organizational magic happen."

Complexity of E-Commerce Supply Chain Raises the Stakes for

Manufacturers

Complexity of E-Commerce Supply Chain Raises the Stakes for Manufacturers

PMMI study examines packaging challenges prompted by growing U.S. e-commerce market; PACK
EXPO presents solutions
Reston, Va.; May 26, 2015 With 131,447 U.S. businesses selling their products online, revenues near
$298 billion and an annual growth rate close to 6 percent, the e-commerce supply chains growing volume
is complemented by increased complexity, according to the E-Commerce Market Assessment published
this year by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer
of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows. With jumps in volume and complexity, however, come
challenges manufacturers must address. PMMI also produced an infographic highlighting the studys key
findings, now available at packexpolasvegas.com.
Keep the Product Safe
Replacing a destroyed item can cost up to 17 times as much as shipping, and overcoming negative online
reviews stemming from such an incident can take months. Each step in the delivery chain only increases
the risk of damage to packages and that makes engineering essential. Ultimately, manufacturers must
ensure packaging remains undamaged throughout the delivery process, regardless of the shipping
scenario. Another, related challenge is eased with the effective use of warehouse management systems,
which help make rightsizing feasible.
Constant Communications Count
Strong communication with third-party retailers is another critical factor for manufacturers overcoming the
complications of the e-commerce supply chain. Frequent communication can bridge disconnects that lead
to consumer dissatisfaction. For example, when brand owners plan significant changes to primary
packaging, they should work with their third-party retailers to take current inventory and marketing into
account so the consumer experience is in sync with the marketing.
Secondary Packaging is Prime Marketing Space
Product marketing on packages presents another challenge: Distinct differences of opinion. Marketers
want packaging to reflect their brand and even advertise products; operations and engineering question
the value of branded packaging post-purchase; and logistics professionals face looming concerns of theft.
These disagreements can present significant hurdles, but compromises can be found through tactics such
as discreet branding and product advertisements on secondary packaging.
Professionals across a wide variety of vertical market segments can find the latest information and
technologies to tackle the challenges associated with the growth of e-commerce at PACK EXPO Las
Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center; September 2830, 2015). The shows
first co-location in Las Vegas will draw 30,000 attendees to see 2,000 exhibitors showcase a variety of
equipment and material solutions across more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. This
record-breaking event will offer attendees opportunities to see the latest packaging and processing
technologies, cross-pollinate ideas and innovation across industries, network with peers and suppliers,
and gain insights from a diverse range of educational programming.

Back in the Sponsors Seat

Amazing Packaging Race Returns to Las Vegas with ASCO Numatics Back in the Sponsors Seat
Reston, Va.; June 12, 2015 ASCO Numatics (Booth #C-2051B) will sponsor the Amazing Packaging
Race at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015, reports PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows.
PMMI produces Pharma EXPO, co-located with PACK EXPO Las Vegas, in partnership with the
International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE).
Were grateful to ASCO Numatics for the important role it plays in supporting packaging education, and
for its consistent sponsorship of the Amazing Packaging Race, says Maria Ferrante, vice president,
education and workforce development, PMMI.
The race will take place on Sept. 30, the last day of PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (
Las Vegas Convention Center; Sept. 2830), Racers will wind their way through the exhibit halls,
completing tasks for points at participating booths, and concluding at 1:00 p.m. at the ASCO Numatics
booth. 2015 is the fifth consecutive year ASCO Numatics has sponsored the race.
ASCO Numatics is proud to sponsor the Amazing Packaging Race again, as it allows us to give our
up-and-coming workforce a comprehensive view of how exciting and dynamic a career in packaging can
be, says Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing Americas, ASCO
Numatics.
Ferrante views the race as a fun way to teach students some of the less tangible aspects of a career in
processing and packaging.
ASCOs enthusiasm motivates packaging students to engage in this field, and that benefits the industry
as a whole. Thats one important lesson. Whats just as critical to their ultimate success is how quickly
theyre forced to work together, she says, noting that PMMI intentionally assigns students from a mix of
schools to each team.
The race becomes a series of teachable moments, she adds. Teamwork, hands-on packaging skills
and networking these are decisive factors in how the students will perform in their careers.

team, and present its members with a prize such as the newest tablet computer.

EXPO PACK to Alternate Locations Annually

Reston, Va.; June 16, 2015 The 30th Anniversary edition of EXPO PACK Mxico opened with the
announcement that show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies,
will alternate its two Mexican shows every other year starting in 2017. EXPO PACK Mxico 2016, (Mexico
City, Centro Banamex) will take place May 1720, 2016, while EXPO PACK Guadalajara (Expo
Guadalajara) moves to June 1315, 2017.
"2015 proved EXPO PACK Guadalajara has grown beyond a regional event," says Gerardo Barajas,
director of EXPO PACK. Due to the continuing growth in the packaging and machinery markets in
Western Mexico, it was time to bring the same types of resources offered in Mexico City to Guadalajara.
Long recognized as one of the leading agro-industrial areas in Mexico, additional industrial growth in the
State of Jalisco positions it as the nations second largest manufacturing center. Currently, the regions
diverse offerings make it the number one producer of electronics, telecommunications, confections,
Agave/tequila, leather, jewelry, milk poultry, pork and eggs.
Jalisco is the heart of West Central Mexico, a region that accounts for 20 percent of Mexicos GDP and
includes the states of Aguascalientes, Colima, Guanajuato, Michoacn, Nayarit, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa
and Zacatecas. EXPO PACK Guadalajara will draw attendees from throughout the region looking for the
latest technology to meet their growing demands.
"With so much industry in the region, companies are looking for solutions providers to keep them
competitive in the marketplace," says Barajas. "EXPO PACK Guadalajara plans to bring it to them."
The 2015 success of EXPO PACK Guadalajara proved to PMMI that the market was large enough to
serve more than a regional show. In 2017, its objective will be to more than double the size and scope of
EXPO PACK Guadalajara to over 7,500 sq. meters and 12,000 visitors, with the goal to grow in size and
scope comparable to the Mexico City event.

Pharma EXPO Addresses Regulatory Trends

Reston, Va.; Aug. 11, 2015 In just over two years, pharmaceutical manufacturers must meet the Nov.
27, 2017, deadline of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which requires unique product
identifiers on certain prescription drug packages. This measure is part of 2013s Title II of the Drug Quality
and Security Act (DQSA), a 10-year rollout of steps to prevent the counterfeiting of drugs distributed in the
United States. To help pharmaceutical manufacturers comply with this and other regulations, Pharma
EXPO 2015 (Sept. 2830; Las Vegas Convention Center) will provide access to advanced solutions for
the entire pharmaceutical lifecycle and a wide range of educational opportunities.
Co-produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and the

Las Vegas, Pharma EXPO will provide a forum where manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical,
biopharmaceutical and medical device sectors can learn about the latest regulations, offering clarification
as well as actionable insights and sophisticated technologies. Projections indicate the combined event will
attract 30,000 attendees to see solutions presented by 2,000 suppliers.
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act, along with other pharmaceutical regulations worldwide, places an
increased emphasis on serialization and the interoperability of systems along the supply chain and in the
pharmaceutical production process, says Tom Egan, vice president, Industry Services, PMMI. It is
important for affected pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure they are equipped to meet these new
requirements and protect their supply chains and patients against counterfeiters.
To help attendees keep up with the new provisions and address the challenges they bring forth, Pharma
EXPO will provide excellent educational opportunities, including free 30-minute presentations at the
Innovation Stage (Booth N-559). These sessions, conveniently located on the show floor, will present the
latest information on breakthrough technologies and techniques for the pharmaceutical industry.
In addition, the Pharma EXPO conference program, organized by ISPE, will run daily during the show,
and the designated track for Tuesday, Sept. 29, is Compliance Trends. Tuesdays presentations will delve
into serialization, track-and-trace, risk management, cleaning validation and incident investigation. The
world-class sessions include Serialization and Track & Trace: From Theory to Practical Application
Success Including Global Trends, led by Marcelo De Oliveira of NORDIKA. This presentation will
address the urgent need to develop strategies and implement actions to cover new and future
requirements, comply with laws and receive benefits from regulations.

Group.
TSE also ranked PACK EXPO International as 37th Fastest-Growing Show of 2014 in the Number of
Exhibiting Companies category, and honored the show with its Gold 100 Award for its status as one of
the largest trade shows of 2014 in net square feet of exhibit space.
The growth of PACK EXPO has been notable throughout its 59-year history. Since PMMI introduced
PACK EXPO in 1956, it has evolved from a single show with 136 exhibitors, 5,000 attendees and 43,116
net square feet of exhibit space into a portfolio with more than seven shows in the United States and
Mexico. The first of the trade shows, now known as PACK EXPO International, takes place biennially at
Chicagos McCormick Place, and hosted 48,400 attendees and 2,352 exhibitors in more than 1.2 million
net square feet of exhibit space in 2014.
PMMI has long been considered a maverick in the trade show industry, with bold ideas ranging from its
in-house service contractor to its unique exhibitor package plans. PMMIs strong management team, led
by [President & CEO] Chuck Yuska, keeps PACK EXPO International thriving with its focus on creating
great value for exhibitors and developing programs that make it a must-attend event, Gudea says.
PMMIs next event, PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015, takes place Sept. 2830 at the Las Vegas Convention
Center, and includes the co-located Pharma EXPO. The combined event will welcome more than 2,000
exhibitors and 30,000 attendees in over 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space.

International Powerhouses Announce Launch of ProFood Tech

PMMI, Koelnmesse and IDFA Join Forces to Offer a New North American Food and Beverage
Processing Event at Chicagos McCormick Place in Spring 2017
Reston, Va.; Sept. 14, 2015 Three trade show leaders joined forces today to announce the launch of
ProFood Tech, a new event that will focus on processing technologies serving the food and beverage
industry. ProFood Tech will make its debut April 46, 2017, at McCormick Place, in Chicago, Ill.
The event is powered by three of the worlds trade show leaders PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies; Koelnmesse and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA). PMMI
is the owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows and represents North American
manufacturers of equipment, components and materials for processing and packaging. Koelnmesse
organizes world leading trade shows for food and beverage, such as Anuga and Anuga Food Tec in
Cologne, Germany. IDFA is North Americas largest dairy association, representing more than 85 percent
of all North American manufacturing of dairy products.
In assessing the current trade show landscape, we saw there was a need for a dedicated event that
brings buyers together with leading world-wide manufacturers in the food and beverage industry, says
Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. ProFood Tech provides a venue to share the latest
innovations and crossover technologies from multiple vertical markets within the food and beverage
industry and will be that one-stop-shop featuring exhibits from both large companies that serve several
customer segments and smaller niche companies with focus on more specific needs.
Exponential changes in technology are making it hard for food and beverage companies to keep up.
ProFood Tech will provide a wide perspective on the food and beverage processing industry as a whole
and feature cutting edge solutions to the challenges the industry is facing every day on the plant floor.
More than a trade show, ProFood Tech provides both large and small suppliers the opportunity to build
their businesses by breaking into new food and beverage markets, cementing their status as industry
leaders and reaching a large group of customers at one event.
In a close dialogue with leading technology suppliers from around the globe, we aim to create a market
platform in the United States that is tailored to the requirements of domestic and foreign exhibitors and
visitors, explains Gerald Bse, president and CEO of Koelnmesse. Over a period of decades,
Koelnmesse has established an excellent reputation world-wide as a trade show organizer, especially in
the field of food products and food technology. Examples include the leading international trade fair
Anuga, the worlds biggest and most important trade show for the food industry, as well as related
spin-offs around the world.
ProFood Tech, Bse adds, marks a further logical step in Koelnmesses strategy aimed at offering
expert support to our customers in various target markets in our role as a global service provider.
With an expansive show floor and enhanced educational programming led by IDFA, ProFood Tech will
attract high-level buyers from every food and beverage sector.
The opportunities for new ideas and break-through solutions are amazing when executives from related
businesses come together to discuss, review and experience the innovations, products and services
available today, says Connie Tipton, president and CEO of IDFA. IDFA is proud to partner with these
trade show leaders and to continue our tradition of bringing industry suppliers, processors and
manufacturers together so they can find profitable business solutions, discover new technologies and see
the innovations that are abundant in our industry.
Industry leaders, including Delkor Systems, Inc., and Tetra Pak, are excited about the opportunities that
ProFood Tech will offer.
As a longtime member of both IDFA and PMMI, Delkor is very pleased to see the attention and focus that
ProFood Tech will bring to the North American food and beverage industry, says Dale Andersen,
president and CEO of Delkor Systems, Inc. Koelnmesses outstanding reputation as a trade show
organizer only strengthens this collaboration.
As a world leader in processing and packaging technologies, Tetra Pak is excited about the potential
ProFood Tech holds, says Carla Fantoni, vice president of communications for Tetra Pak U.S. and
Canada. The joint efforts of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA clearly demonstrate a commitment from
these three leading organizations to establish a trusted brand serving all food and beverage categories.
We think this consolidated approach will help suppliers and customers alike make the most of the show.
ProFood Tech is a totally unique endeavor with the collaboration of three of the worlds leading industry
organizations, all with ownership of this initiative. The new show will combine the unrivaled experience
and recognition of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA to create an event that will be unprecedented in its
ability to address all of the issues facing food and beverage processing operations in the North American
marketplace like sustainability, improved operations and food safety.

Opportunities Flow for Beverage Professionals at PACK EXPO Las
Vegas

Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 According to the Beverage Industry Report (Sept. 2014) from PMMI, The
Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, beverage companies want innovations that will
lead to more energy-efficient equipment; more flexible, forgiving and faster equipment; new packaging
materials; and much faster speed to market with packaging designs.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 28-30), owned and produced by
PMMI, will open up a wealth of opportunities for beverage brand owners to meet these needs. The show,

Confectionery Manufacturers Find a Sweet Spot at PACK EXPO Las

Vegas
Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 According to research from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, consumer wellness concerns, food safety and other health and safety
concerns, are among the biggest drivers steering the confectionery industry today (Confectionery Trends
Market Assessment, Sept. 2013).
Confectioners can find a variety of approaches to address these market forces at PACK EXPO Las Vegas
2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 28-30), owned and produced by PMMI. The show, the largest
and most comprehensive of its kind this year, will host 30,000 attendees and over 2,000 exhibitors in
more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space.
In addition to focusing on consumer trends, confectionery professionals need to be up to speed on the

same issues as I and sharing insights to overcome those challenges.
The Candy Bar Lounge (Booth S-7900) will host a reception on Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 3:30 p.m. to 5

Bakers Find New Ways to Respond To Operational Demands &

Consumer Trends at PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 Research published by Mintel this summer described snacking as a
round-the-clock habit for Americans. While at least 94 percent snack at least once a day (up from 64
percent in 2014), Millennials are apparently the grazing generation, reporting at least four snacks a day.
Theyre craving convenience, according to Mintel, in the form of single-serve and reclosable packages.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 28-30), owned and produced by
PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, will open up a wealth of
opportunities for baking-snack brand owners to tackle trends with tools such as automation to improve
productivity, flexibility and efficiency, labeling systems that enhance flexibility and sustainability, and
containers and materials to preserve freshness, reduce waste and enhance branding.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas will host 30,000 attendees and over 2,000 exhibitors in more than 800,000 net
square feet of exhibit space.

The Baking & Snack Break Lounge (Booth S-7427), hosted by the Biscuit & Cracker Manufacturers
Association (B&CMA) is a key on-floor destination for strengthening connections. The beauty of this
central meeting point is that bakers and snack manufacturers can network with experts and peers
addressing similar trends and challenges and find answers, notes Dave Van Laar, president, B&CMA.
PACK EXPO is a vital part of our outreach to bakers and suppliers, says Van Laar. We not only provide
a place for bakers to network, rest and regroup, well also assist many of them in finding solutions to
specific issues.

single unified network architecture known as The Connected Enterprise for greater connectivity and
information sharing. But The Connected Enterprise is only as powerful as the technology on which it is
built. As a result, companies need OEM partners capable of delivering smart machines that accelerate
demand-driven manufacturing within The Connected Enterprise. To this end, CTT will present a rotation

PMMI, The Association for Processing and Packaging Technologies, produces the State of the Industry
Study based on U.S. Census Bureau reports and shipments data provided by association members who
manufacture packaging machinery. The report, which analyzes 27 packaging machinery categories,
describes trends and the outlook for packaging machinery shipments through 2019.
The largest industry sector for packaging machinery is food, but its not the fastest growing, the study
reports. That honor goes to the pharmaceuticals sector, which is forecast to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7 percent to 2019. Behind pharmaceuticals, the forecast for the beverage market
is a 2 percent CAGR.
This years report also addresses the impacts of outside factors, from legislation to retailers to population
growth, on the packaging machinery market, says Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, market development,
PMMI. For example, it points to The Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), which created a national
regulation for pharmaceutical serialization and track and trace, as the source of the growth were seeing
in packaging machinery for the pharmaceutical sector.
Within the United States, the value of shipments of packaging machinery grew from $7.1 billion to $7.5
billion from 2013 to 2014. Growth is expected to continue at a 1.6 percent CAGR, reaching $8.1 billion by
2019.
PMMI, which owns and produces the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, released the results of the
study this morning in a media briefing at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015. With over
2,000 exhibitors in more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the co-located shows are
welcoming 30,000 attendees to the Las Vegas Convention Center this week. To learn more, download

PMMI Report Shows Three Common Threads in Global Packaging
Markets

.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 Consumer trends are impacting packaging markets around
the world, according to "Global Packaging Trends," a new report from PMMI, The Association for
Packaging and Processing Technologies.
The report shows three influencers making a mark in every region: growing awareness of health and
wellness, recycling and environmental issues, and increasing disposable income and purchasing power.
"These trends are affecting packaging because they're driving consumers' purchasing choices," says
Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, Market Development, PMMI. "Recyclability and reusability of packaging
are dominant trends and we're predicting that will continue to be seen as PET and glass bottle usage
increases."
Packaging markets in the Middle East and Africa are anticipating 5.3 percent CAGR growth in volume, but
forecasts for Western Europe and North America land at the other end of the spectrum, with 0.4 percent
and 0.5 percent, respectively.
The expansion in the Middle East and Africa is the result of increasing exposure to modern lifestyles, and
is manifesting in growth opportunities available for packaging of carbonates, biscuits, and yogurt and sour
milk products. In Asia Pacific, forecast for 4.3 percent CAGR increases in volume, the increasing demand
for PET bottles, particularly in the bottled water category, supports health and wellness concerns.
North America, on the other hand, is a mature market, but consumers are developing growing interest in
several categories. These include healthy categories such as bottled water, and areas of innovation, such
as confectionery.
Globally, the report notes flexible plastic remains the dominant pack type, accounting for 29 percent of the
market, while PET bottles (12 percent of the market) will be among the fastest growing, with 4.7 percent
CAGR. Bottled water is expected to add 135 billion units through 2019, accounting for 54 percent of the
absolute volume growth in PET bottle use. While beverage packaging drives growth in PET and glass,
categories such as confectionery and biscuits prop up flexible packaging use.
PMMI, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, released the results of the study
this morning at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015. With over 2,000 exhibitors in more
than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the co-located shows are welcoming 30,000 attendees to
the Las Vegas Convention Center this week. To learn more, download the Executive Summary of this

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PMMI Report Finds Flexible Packaging Market Nearing Maturity

One-third of end users expect to increase their use of flexible packaging over the next five years
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 A new report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, finds that the flexible packaging industry projected to reach $32.7 billion in
2015 is approaching maturity and can expect to see healthy growth and stability.
The 2015 Flexible Packaging Market Assessment Report draws on in-depth interviews with end users,
materials suppliers and other industry experts who weighed in on the future of flexible packaging.
Over two-thirds (68 percent) of end user companies interviewed expect to purchase new equipment,
modify existing equipment or buy used equipment to accommodate flexible packaging.
Thirty-three percent of end users expect to increase their use of flexible packaging (vs. rigid materials)
over the next five years; however, 61 percent expect the ratio of flexible to rigid packaging to remain the
same during that time frame. In this category, 40 percent of the companies use flexible packaging for
upwards of 90 percent of their products.
Food products use the most flexible packaging, leading all vertical industries with 57 percent usage of
flexible packaging compared to rigid, followed by the pharmaceutical industry at 31 percent. The
beverage industry uses 25 percent flexible packaging, while 2 percent of household products are currently
in flexible packaging.
The promise of cost reductions and greater strides in sustainability remain significant incentives for
consumer goods manufacturers to choose flexible packaging. Downgauging to thinner, lighter packaging
reduces the amount of source materials, and flexible packaging's high product-to-package ratio and light
weight offer allow more units to fit into a shipment and require fewer shipments for the same amount of
product. This reduces shipping costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
An infographic illustrating key findings is now available on packexpolasvegas.com. Stop by the PMMI
booth in the Central Lobby for a copy of the executive summary or visit PMMI.org for the full Flexible
Packaging Market Assessment Report ($500 for non-members).

Fast Changing Consumer Preferences Create Opportunities for

Growth and Innovation
on, Va.; Nov. 24, 2015 The impact of changing and diversifying consumer demands were key
takeaways from the 2015 State of the Industry: U.S. Packaging Machinery Report, shared by PMMI, The
Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015. The study
highlighted these shifts toward on-the-go and clean-label products while, more than ever, brand owners
must also tackle the challenges associated with a growing variety of consumer preferences. As these
companies plan ahead for a successful 2016, PMMI provides an unbroken connection among the
processing and packaging communities.

Continuous collaboration between consumer goods manufacturers (CPGs) and technology suppliers is
necessary to speed the implementation of new processing and packaging solutions. The State of the
Industry Report noted that Improved information on nutrition and growing consumer health
consciousness, coupled with increased travel and busy lifestyles, have driven demand for different
products. This has led to the growth of indulgent yet healthy foods, convenience foods, different portion
sizes (e.g. single-serve packaging), different packaging designs and completely new foods. Consumers
demands are pressing the industry for innovative processing and packaging technologies, and they need
them now.

Speed matters, says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. As the pressure mounts for CPGs
to adapt their operations, immediate access to solutions providers is critical to their success. Thats why it
is our number one priority to connect the makers of goods around the world with the suppliers they rely
on.

Evolving consumer demands require faster upgrades in innovation and technology on an industry-wide
level. PMMIs extensive offerings to address these needs fall into three categories: The PACK EXPO
Portfolio of Trade Shows, PMMI Media Group and PMMI Business Drivers, which encompass PMMIs
collection of market research reports, training opportunities and educational and networking programs.
These three pillars bring the continuously changing processing and packaging industries together to
address the most recent challenges.

We started this year on the heels of launching PMMI Media Group and continued to see significant
growth with the first edition of PACK EXPO East, the announcement of ProFood Tech and the debut of
Pharma EXPO in Las Vegas, says Yuska. We continue to create and nurture spaces in which end users
and suppliers can connect, work together in solving tough challenges and keep manufacturing moving
forward.
