Next IoPP webinar focused on packaging labeling and artwork capabilities
Packaging labeling and artwork often don’t get the attention they deserve—at the time when they can be most effective—within many consumer product companies. This is especially true in the healthcare industry, where many products are rapidly going off patent, yet there aren’t enough new products coming on board to fill in gaps and keep revenue streams growing. One answer to these challenges is to make the most of current assets. These include labels and other artwork on packaging. Andrew Love and Stephen McIndoe will address these issues and opportunities in the IoPP webinar “Developing and Sustaining Excellent Packaging Labeling and Artwork Capabilities," taking place online April 24, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. CST.
