Based on extensive surveys conducted last year by the University of North Carolina that included FPA member participation, the study reports that flexible packaging businesses use Web technology mainly to broadcast information internally. However, the survey suggests, “the flexible packaging industry does not use technology to integrate external transactions, information, and knowledge throughout the supply chain.” For more information, call FPA at 410/694-0800, or visit [email protected]
