BOHEMIA, NY—January 16, 2015—Flexographic Technical Association’s (FTA) 2015 Annual Forum, themed “Hitting the Perfect Harmony,” aims to do just that in myriad ways over the course of four days, May 3-6, in Nashville, TN.

One session in particular, "Upside Down or Inside Out: What’s Next in Packaging?" will focus on overall packaging trends that are being driven by changing population demographics, including printed electronics and brand protection.
