FlexPack Conference Brand Panel Unwraps Opportunities in Sustainable Flexible Packaging

See Why San Diego is the PLACE to be April 14-17

TAPPI’s 2024 FlexPack PLACE, April 14-17, 2024 in San Diego, CA, is chock full of the flexible packaging industry’s hottest topics, including sustainability priorities, and next-level networking opportunities.

Over the course of four days, you’ll have opportunities to learn about oriented films, extrusion coating, high barrier sustainable package designs, incorporating recycling protocols into the design phase, as well as two sessions dedicated to additives.

During the panel discussion, “Brand Owner Sustainability Challenges,” you’ll hear about various aspects of flexible packaging conversion, including the differences and opportunities that can help achieve a more eco-friendly packaging landscape. The panel, featuring brand owners and researchers from Hallmark, Tillamook, Mars and Estée Lauder, will share their insights and experiences on overcoming these obstacles, providing a valuable exchange of knowledge to help propel the industry forward.

Networking will be in high gear throughout the event, including the Sunday Welcome Reception, Monday Newcomers’ Lunch and Tabletop Reception, and Tuesday evening’s fun-filled dinner at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.  Looking to amplify your brand? Take advantage of the Tabletop Exhibit and sponsorship opportunities outlined in the Prospectus posted to the website at events.tappiflexible.org.
