The latest product handling equipment—cartoners, case erectors and packers, loaders and palletizers—are designed to meet the needs of bakery and snack producers as well as consumers in a fast-changing marketplace. These flexible systems can run a large array of SKUs and they feature quick-change capabilities.
As the consumer experience becomes more complex, bakery and snack producers are reimagining secondary packaging beyond the plain corrugated box, according to a recently released “Secondary Packaging Trends” white paper from PMMI, Herndon, VA. “The consumer packaged goods industry has recognized the need to evolve new methods and strategies for secondary packaging to compete in a more dynamic market space,” says Sean Riley, senior director, media and industry communications.
