In the beverage industry, packaging talks. Inks and coatings suppliers are highlighting the technology that makes a brand unique and enhances its individuality.
In the world of inks and coatings, topics that were front of mind pre-pandemic ― sustainability, consumer engagement, etc. ― are finding themselves back on the main stage.
