Packaging

You only get one chance to make a first impression. And that impression starts with the packaging. Packaging comes in all shapes and sizes. At Empack, we largely distinguish between two packaging universes. On the one hand, consumer packaging is the typical branded packaging you find in supermarkets. Boxes, bottles, trays, tubes, bags, tubs, cans, sachets, aerosols, etc. But before these products reach the store shelves, they are packaged in industrial packaging, either in corrugated cardboard boxes, wrapped on pallets, or as bulk products in crates, bags, or drums.

If there is one industry that is constantly challenged, it is the packaging industry. Trends follow each other in rapid succession. Due to changing regulations, new technologies, fierce competition on the shelves, and increasingly critical consumers, developments are happening at lightning speed. Issues we will be addressing during Empack include:
