Packaging and Converting Intelligence
PCI Autumn 2005
In this edition we focus on brand security and counterfeiting. Timothy Trainer of the Global Property Strategy Center reviews the battle with counterfeit goods in the packaging market and Lukas Grunwald of DN Systems addresses RFID and the possibility that it not be the risk free answer to supply-chain optimisation.
Also, Philippe Roulet, Head of Global Packaging Material and Training at Nestle looks at the risk behind adopting new packaging innovations. We have a regional overview of the developing packaging market in Latin America courtesy of Peta Conn from Euromonitor and a forward look to the packaged consumer goods market of 2009 from Freedonia Group.
