Despite the fact that the U.S. and the rest of the world has been dealing with the impact of coronavirus since March 2020, food safety and cleanliness in packaging must still be upheld.

Packaging is a primary focus for the growing cannabis-infused food and beverage industry, including products infused with health-focused non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD) — which have global appeal — and those infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which compete with beer, wine and spirits in the 11 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia, which have all rescinded cannabis prohibition for adults.

Global Pouch Forum, the longest-running flexible packaging conference, has the reputation of being the best event for flexible packaging, the fastest-growing packaging segment. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, drupa 2021, the world's largest industry trade fair in Düsseldorf for print media, has been postponed until next year, and Windmöller & Hölscher will exhibit at the trade fair.
