No better (or more festive 🎄) time than now to look ahead to what's coming next! For our next issue of LabelTalk (yes, this is an unapologetic teaser to the magazine launch in January), our marketing team spoke with Tim Sykes about sustainable packaging trends. One trend stood out to me, not just because it will (continue to) impact the industry but because I see it mirrored in our own organization as well: 🌏 Global collaboration & harmonization as a means to source ideas and leverage expertise. 💡 Over the past 2 years we experienced this firsthand, with MCC Verstraete, MCC Korsini and MCC Karydakis joining forces. By harmonizing standards and learning from one another, we made meaningful progress - and there's still more to achieve. Our new plant in Brazil will only reinforce this. No doubt global collaboration will push innovation and advancements in the industry in the years to come. Join me in forecasting! 🔮 What trends do you think will shape our industry in 2025? PS. Stay tuned for the launch of LabelTalk magazine, packed with insights and trends to kickstart the new year!
