Is your packaging team struggling to meet your cost-savings targets? If so, this webinar will help your packaging team hit those targets effectively.
Curious if your packaging can withstand a new supply chain or survive extreme value engineering and cost-cutting? In this session, Rob Kaszubowski, Principal & Practice Leader, Packaging Optimization, from NTT Data Supply Chain Consulting, will unpack the essential steps for aligning packaging with real-world distribution challenges. He'll cover proven strategies, actionable testing methods, and provide collaboration tips to reduce risk, control costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
Supply chain optimization know-how is critical for those who have responsibility for maximizing the value of packaging in the supply chain, as well as for anyone who qualifies, uses or manages contract packaging services.
When facing global supply chain challenges, consumer demands, and ever-growing initiatives such as sustainability, companies are struggling to keep up and remain competitive. At the core of many challenges is a data problem. Siloed data sources, outdated information, and miscommunication are challenges preventing innovation and growth. Companies need a strong data foundation to tackle concerns, including compliance regulatory pressures and sustainability while optimizing costs. That starts with specification data. In this case study presentation, Matthew Wright, Founder & CEO of Specright, shares how a spec-first approach to your master data strategy can enable your teams to tackle packaging challenges while addressing cost-optimization initiatives. Todd Farwell, Global Packaging Director at Cummins, shares the company’s specification management journey and how Cummins can tackle compliance and grow the bottom line.
AI is rapidly changing how packaging gets made, especially in high-mix, high-SKU environments. In this session, Josh Gruenstein, CEO of Tutor Intelligence, explains how AI-driven robotics is making automation more flexible, adaptable, and accessible. Traditional robots have long been too rigid and costly for many operations. New AI approaches allow robots to learn on the job, reducing the need for custom engineering and making automation viable across a wider range of packaging lines. A key focus is case packing and the impact of growing SKU complexity. AI-enabled robots can handle variation and short runs with far greater ease, raising important questions for packaging teams. If automation can keep up with constant change, how does that influence product variety, limited runs, and marketing strategies? You'll learn:
This webinar focuses on the intricate relationship between USP 1207 and Annex 1 in the context of sterile medical product packaging. Published in 2017, USP 1207 revolutionized container closure integrity testing with its focus on deterministic methods. Fast forward to August 2023, and Annex 1 has become a pivotal regulatory mandate in sterile manufacturing, with specific implications for packaging professionals.
Get ready for a forward-looking conversation with packaging leaders who have shaped the past three decades and are actively influencing what comes next. This panel dives into the realities of hitting sustainability goals, tackling e-commerce demands, and using new tools that can transform development from concept through commercialization. You will hear practical perspectives from experts across industry segments who know what it takes to execute big ideas. Expect insights you can apply to your own work as the packaging landscape continues to shift.
This presentation will cover background of the absolute humidity approach & field related recalls due to hydrolysis, a summary of testing & moisture absorption in polymers, and highlight some of the key revisions to the guidance in ASTM F1980.
Take your packaging game to the next level with this exclusive webinar that dives deep into the world of ASTM standards and bio-based packaging materials. Savvy packaging professionals remain aware of bio-based packaging materials standards, especially around European testing not used in the U.S. Is your company using the right one? Find out what you need to know to stay ahead of the game and ensure your bio-based packaging materials meet the highest industry standards.
Microparticles and sustainability claims are under increasing scrutiny. Yet much of the data driving public conversation remains incomplete. In fact, up to 90% of microparticles cannot currently be identified using available analytical methods. In this webinar, Kelvin Okamoto, president of Green Bottom Line and chair of ASTM D20.96, shares updates on ASTM's work in two critical areas: microparticle standards and sustainability terminology. You'll get insight into:
Extended Producer Responsibility is evolving quickly, and keeping up takes time, precision, and the right tools. This webinar will introduce our new IoPP member benefit, designed to accelerate EPR research and decision-making through AI.
You’ll see how IoPP EPR.AI gives packaging professionals a single, trusted system for accurate, verified EPR guidance across jurisdictions.
If EPR impacts your packaging decisions, this session will show how IoPP is helping members stay informed, efficient, and prepared with practical, real-world tools built for packaging professionals.
