Uflex has developed a new spouted profile standup pouch with a side handle carry for Rasna International’s fruit powder concentrate.

From the opening keynote to a special panel discussion on materials for standup pouches, sustainability and the future of flexible packaging recyclability were two topics discussed to at least some extent in nearly every presentation at the recent Global Pouch West.

Flexible Packaging recently caught up with Scott Fuller, CMD’s intermittent-motion product line manager, for an update on converter points of pain, optimizing pouch production and what the company has in store for 2018.

Here’s a closer look at some of these products and innovations. Think of it as a little sneak peek of what to expect at the Forum this June.

TC Transcontinental Packaging took home one gold and two silver awards from the Packaging Association of Canada (PAC) Canadian Leadership Awards.

Now celebrating its 20th year, the Global Pouch Forum will be held June 14-16 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami, Florida. Known for its strong educational agenda, excellent networking opportunities and extensive flexible packaging exhibition space, the forum attracts a large attendance each year.

Packaging Strategies’ third annual event targeted to packaging professionals located west of the Mississippi River will take place from December 7-8 at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in the foothills of Las Vegas.
