Teaching Packaging in China
I quickly turned to the Packaging Machine Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) for information to supplement my knowledge of the packaging industry and it generously provided me with current statistics concerning the strength of the industry, particularly its growth in the developing countries.
There’s no question that packaging is a growth industry around the world but it is growing at break-neck speed in China. In many cases in the past, a product was produced in China and shipped to customers in North America that performed the final packaging and shipped the product to distributors or the ultimate end user. Today, products are produced and packaged in China ready for store display. Improved printing technologies have helped to make this possible.
