Roundtable presentation/discussion q&a the future of food packaging, Corrugating International, October 2003 (96KB)
Retailers and product suppliers discussed the role of corrugated transport containers in future marketing and merchandising schemes at TAPPI’s October 2002 Conference. The lively discussions evolved around opportunities for corrugated boxplants to partner with customers to serve the grower/ shipper/manufacturer and the retailer. Retailers expressed interest in produce containers that are displayable, easy to merchandize, provide a written message, include radio frequency identification (RFID), and tame security and traceability of product issues.
