PLMA Packaging conference

Packaging is an essential aspect in private label product development and marketing and plays a key role in differentiating products, building consumer trust, and driving sales, making it crucial for retailers’ product strategy. Additionally, with the rising awareness of environmental concerns, sustainable packaging is increasingly vital, balancing functionality with eco-friendliness. 

In light of this, PLMA is organizing a one-day Packaging Conference on 30 January 2025 in The Hague. This full-day event will tackle key issues in packaging, providing insights into the challenges and solutions that retailers and manufacturers face today.

In addition, a panel of industry experts will examine the impact of the new EU regulations on the industry and discuss their implications for businesses.
