- Published: May 03, 2002, By PRESS RELEASE
WEST CHESTER, PA, USA—If you're interested in emerging pouch packaging technologies and the overall state of the pouch market, then Stand-Up Pouches 2002 is an event you'll want to attend next month. Slated for June 10-11, 2002, at the Renaissance Orlando Resort, Orlando, FL, the event will feature an expanded pouch technology exhibition as well as a new pouch matchmaker program, says event organizer, Packaging Strategies.
Stand-Up 2002 attendees, reports Packaging Strategies, will: gain insight on global thrusts in technologies and applications that reflect end-user, merchandiser, and consumer desires for innovation, shelf appeal, and convenience. In addition, attendees will discover why retort, particularly for food service, is the new "hot growth" pouch segment; learn the "real deal" behind the promise of true high-speed production and filling; find out how pouch production economics compare against carton applications, bag-in-box, plastic bottles, and the drivers behind narrowing the cost gap; and have the opportunity to hear from industry experts offering perspectives on which pouch format poses the greatest threat to Doyen's dominance.
