covers every part of the converting industry!
PFFC is a monthly magazine in which recognized experts and experienced staff assist converters around the world to become more efficient and profitable in their manufacturing and business practices through newsworthy information on technology; marketing and management trends; and products and services.
In 2008 PFFC celebrated its 80th year in the converting industry, having an earlier title at its inception in 1927 of The Envelope Industry. It bore five additional titles through its evolutionary history before arriving at its present name. The magazine was responsible for helping to define the fledgling converting industry during World War II when materials were being developed in support of the war effort. Later these materials found application in the consumer and commercial markets, leading to the present day title of Paper, Film & Foil CONVERTER (PFFC).
PFFC is the best-read, authoritative source for converting and package-printing professionals. Since 1927, readers have turned to PFFC for an unbiased perspective on the business trends and technical innovations shaping the converting industry.
