“Creating Value Through Packaging: Unlocking a New Business and Management Strategy”

Beyond the traditional function of purely protecting the product, packaging continues to climb the ladder of importance in organizations globally, and is one of the top “solution providers” for fast-moving consumer goods companies. Big “P” packaging, as it’s referred to in the book, helps improve product success rates, speeds time to market, and enables both operations and marketing functions to stay true strategically as they proactively adjust to thrive in a world which is always changing.

“Packaging is dynamic,” states co-author Jim Peters. “We wanted a book that crystallizes its new directions and gives professionals a benchmark they can refer to ongoing. Our contributors and colleagues added peer-to-peer insights that expand knowledge with real-world experience.” Through a series of chapters topically organized, the book takes an in-depth look at the modern era of packaging to understand the challenges and opportunities inherent in the field.
