FPA To Hold CMM Conference on "Extending Shelf Life Through Advances in Flexible Packaging"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Linthicum, MD, November 15, 2002 - The Flexible Packaging Association will host a seminar titled "Extending Shelf Life Through Advances in Flexible Packaging" at CMM International in Chicago's McCormick Place on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon.

Featuring six presenters and a panel discussion, the seminar will address the technological innovations incorporated in flexible packaging materials which have made it possible to extend shelf life while retaining product nutrients, flavor, freshness and safety.

Specifically, the session will examine the film, adhesive, coating, resin and ink technologies as well as the package constructions that are being developed to enhance flexible packaging's effectiveness, regulatory acceptance and cost benefits. Flexible Packaging magazine's editor-in-chief Andrew Mykytiuk will moderate the session.

This session will benefit those involved in the specification or purchase of equipment, materials, or supplies. Listed as Session Number T1 in CMM's Conference Program Guide, FPA's session is free to all CMM exhibitors and attendees.

The Flexible Packaging Association has served as the voice of the flexible packaging industry since the Association was established in 1950. Its members convert or supply the raw materials used to produce bags, pouches, labels, liners, wraps, rollstock, and other flexible products. Produced from paper, plastic film, aluminum foil, or any combination of those materials, flexible packaging is now the second largest segment of the U.S. packaging market. The $20 billion industry serves a multitude of end use markets including food, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, household goods, personal care products, pet food, lawn and garden supplies, and industrial applications.
