All members of the drupa touchpoint packaging 2020 project, printing and converting industry manufacturers and international brand owners will closely work with packaging designers and students bringing to life the latest possibilities in packaging.
The objective of the committee is to understand how the mega trends shaping our society will influence packaging production, from new substrates, customisation, reduced environmental impact, connected packaging and more. The intent is not to focus on what is already being done but to showcase inspiring new cases addressing brands’ challenges and pointing out meaningful directions where packaging can go.
