FPA forecasts steady growth for U.S. flexible packaging

摘要

The total flexible packaging industry is estimated to be about $27.2 billion in annual sales for 2013. This includes packaging for retail and institutional food and non-food (including medical and pharmaceutical), industrial materials, shrink and stretch films, retail shopping bags, and consumer storage bags, as well as wraps and trash bags. That's according to the Flexible Packaging Assn.'s "2014 State of the Flexible Packaging Industry Report," (pwgo. to/1071), which provides industry converters, suppliers, investors, and analysts with insight into the performance (growth, revenue/volume expectations, profitability, capital spending) of the U.S. flexible packaging industry over the past year.
