Spotlight on Packaging Trends: Thinking Outside the Box

Both wide and narrow web converters have found opportunities within the pouch market. The majority of pouches are printed on wide web presses. For applications such as lawn care, where a large pouch is needed, wide web presses are the only choice. Narrow web converters are limited to small pouches that are less than half the size of the web (assuming they also need two or three inches for a gusset). The wide web market also captures long-run jobs and is generally more adept at handling custom jobs.
