JoAnn,
You said “Simply put, no packaging is an impossibility unless you want to regress your lifestyle about 100 years.” That is absolutely true. Packaging is essential to our way of life, and you will find much backlash from consumers if product appears to be unclean or damaged due to the elimination of packaging. Can we get smarter about the way we package? Absolutely! It’s happening right now – more innovative packaging is being produced daily.

Thank you for encouraging us to rethink “the packaging paradigm”.

I totally agree, JoAnn! Yes, excess packaging is a problem. What these anti-packagists (is that a word?) forget is that the first and primary purpose of packaging is protection, both during transport and from liability. What if we had to all dip our own containers into a common vat of ketchup at the grocery store? A mess for sure and the possibility for contamination is unthinkable.

There is no doubt that the packaging industry is evolving into its ecofriendly self. Thanks for being on the vanguard of it!

Hi JoAnn, Thank you for taking a courageous stand on this issue. To be sure, the media loves to sensationalize any story in their quest for ratings, subscriptions, and clicks. The real surprise would be if packaging were treated any differently.

For most of the time I’ve been in the industry, people by and large took packaging for granted. Even today, if people stopped to think what would happen if packaging ceased to exist, they would think twice about blanket criticisms of the industry. Environmental awareness put packaging in the spotlight, seemingly overnight. Perhaps packaging manufacturers, unaccustomed to being in the spotlight, have been slow in getting their stories out.

As a social media marketer, I continually encourage packaging companies to engage consumers openly, honestly, and proactively. You have certainly done that, and I think it helps enormously. I hope that others in the industry follow your example and my advice, and start connecting! The industry has great stories to share, stories that need to be shared.

I am with Applied DNA Sciences we have developed a state of the art DNA marking system which has been widely accepted to authenticate a variety of products to include textiles, inks, coatings, CViT (cash in transit), aerospace, pharmaceuticals, military application, homeland security, fine wine & art, intellectual properties, etc. DNA is a trusted form of forensic evidence and cannot be copied or compromised. Successful marking programs can be used for brand, product and supply chain verification. It’s affordable and green. Our marking services have been used in the packaing industry in an effort to validate the shipped product. For additional information, please refer to our web site: http://www.adnas.com. Please fell free to come back to me with any questions and/or applications. Thank you – Tom

If you want that increase your product’s sale, it is most important that you should attend the great quality products and packaging. If your packaging is not sophisticated so I think it is hard that you have achieved the goal.
