The corrugated and folding carton industry benefits from the booming online trade, and the trend towards recyclable and sustainable packaging is boosting significant growth in the corrugated and folding carton industry. ‘The economic situation of the industry is thoroughly positive, but it is important to catch up with the latest trends, such as the customers’ demand for individualisation and the new opportunities that digitalisation offers’, explains Liljana Goszdziewski, Exhibition Director of CCE International, on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions. ‘CCE International indicates future trends to the corrugated and folding carton industry and remains the most important meeting point for industry experts’, says Liljana Goszdziewski.
