Features Explainer
Cover feature
A major new format for 2013, each month’s cover feature will be an in-depth examination across at least four pages of the packaging trends, innovations and challenges in a particular end-user market.
With a focus on the demands from brand owners and retailers in each market, each feature will look at the materials, formats and graphics trends shaping packaging for the market; as well as consumer trends, supply chain issues and the opportunities and challenges for suppliers to that market.
Equipment Buyers’ Guide
The flagship feature of our monthly Equipment section looks at developments in a particular sector of the machinery market and includes case studies, star products and news on the latest trends and issues in that sector.
Design case study
Each month, we look in-depth at an innovative new pack design and tell the story behind the project from the brand owner and designer’s point of view.
Profile
Every month we interview an industry personality making waves in the packaging sector.
General feature
Most months, Packaging News runs a feature analyzing a particular trend in the packaging supply chain; this is selected close to the time of publication and can cover anything from business issues such as M&A trends to the latest in smartphone technology for packaging.
Project Profile
Part of the Equipment section, Project Profile examines a packaging equipment investment and explains the background to the project, how it was implemented and the results.
Supplements and special reports
Throughout the year, Packaging News produces guides and previews to the industry’s trade shows as well as in-depth reports on specific areas of interest.
