Happy New Year everyone! It is 2015 now and that means forward thinking for the months ahead. This also means keeping in mind all of the things we learned in 2014 and implementing these new trends and best practices for the future. For example, last November we attended the annual PackEx conference, Montreal’s leading resource for networking and knowledge about the latest equipment, newest technologies and best new materials and processes in the packaging industry.
Attending events such as this one not only gave us access to this new information, it also really helped to reinforce and cement the knowledge that the methods and practices PTI employs on a regular basis are here to stay. We are always focused on staying ahead of the curve to give you the best possible end result.
Here are some of the things we took home from such events:
Cutting Edge Technology: Flexoprint pre-print is not new in the packaging industry, but when it comes to custom product packaging it is the best. It creates high quality print graphics at a cost effective price point – demonstrating the quality of your product before a consumer even opens the box. The use of high quality inks and our advanced colour management system means that we can print up to 150 line screen graphics on a variety of liner boards.
Sustainability: A focus on the manufacturing process and how it impacts the environment has long been a concern for the entire PTI team. And for us sustainability isn’t just about the end product, it is about the entire process. From a design that maximizes structural support and minimizes material, to the reuse of all unnecessary materials when the process is complete, we ensure a much smaller carbon footprint.
Newest trends: staying current sometimes means change, and coming into this year the biggest trends are with design and structure. Things like colour psychology, or the choice of colour and how it impacts a consumer’s emotions has become a major factor. Simplicity and function are also major players – encompassing not only the look of your packaging but also the package itself. The newest and most efficient materials are helping to reduce costs at both the manufacturing stage and the shipping stage.
At Packaging Technologies Inc., we are committed to providing you with the most innovative, creative and sustainable product packaging designs out there. We’ve taken what works best from 2014 and applied it to our 2015 strategies – meaning you get only the best. Call us today for more info at 1-800-303-5883.
