6 JUNE, 2022First impressions are vital, and packaging is the first aspect of a product that creates lasting impressions on customers. As manufacturers don't have the time or resources to invest in expensive equipment needed for packaging, they are increasingly relying on contract packagers to streamline their packaging operation. To address this burgeoning demand, emerging contract packaging companies and contract packaging service companies are embracing leading-edge technologies today to control costs, monitor production flow, prepare competitive quotes, and perform other essential tasks. Nanotechnology, especially, is seeing the most substantial growth, with anti-fingerprint nano coating at the top of the list of manufacturing companies. Notably, the technology has immense scope in the sustainability movement, with bio-nano composites having the potential to replace non-biodegradable, petroleum-based plastic. Besides, it can also be used in hygienic and antibacterial packaging, particularly for medical, pharmaceutical, and food products. But it is just the tip of the iceberg with nanotechnology, and we can expect a wave of more innovations in the near future.Similarly, augmented reality (AR) is another technology poised to disrupt the sector. With AR, manufacturers will enable their consumers to virtually test products, examine packaging options, and interact with game elements, which will provide a more personalized experience for each consumer. It will make future product launches and marketing efforts more relevant and targeted. In this edition of Manufacturing Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the emerging contract packaging companies and contract packaging service companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients. This edition also offers a combination of thought leadership articles from subject matter experts and exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the contract packaging solutions and services that fit your business requirements.Let us know your thoughts!Martin Thomas Managing Editoreditor@themanufacturingoutlook.comUnboxing Future-Proof Packaging Technologies Copyright © 2022 ValleyMedia Inc.
