Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) are products that enjoy fast turnover at relatively low cost. Importantly, FMCGs have to be suitably and economically packaged, yet in an eye-catching way for maximum impact on retail shelves. Clearly this a major market for the packaging industry; and the relationship between processing and packaging is closely intertwined.
So, each month FMCG-PACK will bring readers news of processing and packaging developments in the food and beverage industries, the pharma and cosmetics industries, and other FMCG categories.
