In Chicago the networking event organized by UCIMA and ITA-Agency

Last October 14 a roundtable discussion organised by Ucima and ITA entitled “E-commerce in Packaging: new challenges for the US and Italian packaging industries” took place at Eataly in Chicago, in occasion of the Pack Expo International exhibition being held in this days. During the event, Italian and US packaging professionals discussed the impact of e-commerce in every stage of the consumer supply chain, from production to product shipment.

The explosion in online purchases in recent years has created new challenges for packaging industry companies, who must now redesign packaging in accordance with the new needs of sustainability, innovation, low environmental impact, minimal wastage of resources and an increasing degree of customization.

The roundtable discussion was followed by a networking dinner between Italian companies, their North American customers and the trade press.
