We are in a very exciting period ofgrowth with our events in the UK at the moment, with ourBirmingham event having developed into the main industry show foranything packaging related, and our London show being a hub forthe luxury and design sectors. What recent innovations in the sector have youbeen most impressed by?There are always new innovations and new technologies drivingthe packaging industry; it is difficult to name just one. This is whatmakes it such an exciting sector and why there is always somethingnew to see at the shows. What is particularly interesting at the moment is seeing the vital roledevelopments in printing are making, with digital printing, augmented reality, and active andintelligent packaging technologies having a real impact on packaging design and concepts.How has the industry changed over your career?When I first started working on the show, sustainability was topping the agenda. It’s stillimportant, but a key driver behind innovation in the last year has been pack differentiation. Shelfstand-out has always been paramount, but increasingly brands are looking at how to engage withtheir customers beyond the shelf, which has led to an increase in companies creating anexperience around their product through their packaging, and linking closely with their socialmedia and marketing strategies. As a result, packaging innovation to some extent is being drivenby consumers who directly interact with brands to influence their decisions. In general, brandstoday are listening and initiatives like personalised packaging are booming. If we were going out to dinner – what would you order?A good bottle of white wine. Probably followed by some food.Stay in touch with Food& Drink InternationalFor more up to the minute information from thefood and drink industry, visit Food & DrinkInternational online.
