When the first edition of the Guide to Packaging Law came out in 1996, it was the first of its kind, a reference volume for packaging professionals and others who had to understand legal concepts in their work but who had no easy way to learn about them.
“In that sense, the book is an outgrowth of my magazine columns,” says Greenberg, whose monthly The Legal Side columns in PW are specifically designed to explain developments in packaging law and regulation to non-attorneys. “There are plenty of legal materials written for legal professionals. This book is instead designed for the packaging professionals, quality assurance professionals, and other managers, directors, and corporate officers whose job responsibilities require a working knowledge of legal concepts, but who often find it difficult to quickly acquire that knowledge.”
