OMAC's evolution punctuated by small revolutions

摘要

OMAC is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and according to approximations listed in the recollections that follow, its 20th year in the packaging space. With that in mind, Packaging World spoke to some of the pioneers who were on the front lines from the beginning, shepherding the industry toward OMAC's Packaging Work Group and PackML. The road toward adoption hasn't always been easy, and some grey areas naturally persist, but the general trend seems to be toward greater participation according to OMAC officials and PackML adherents. What follows is a series of recollections—25 years' worth, so forgive any minor inaccuracies—that chronicle the shifting tides of the packaging industry's attitude toward OMAC.
