TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS POWER POUCH DEMAND

Demand for all types of pouches will continue to be bolstered by faster line speeds that have reduced costs and led to increased interest in pouches as a packaging option.

This is one of the trends reported in Pouches, a new study from The Freedonia Group. Freedonia projects pouch demand in the United States to climb 7% annually through 2008 to $5.2 billion, with healthy gains in both stand-up and flat-pouch versions. The 261-page study is available for $4겨. Call Corinne Gangloff at 440/684-9600, or visit http://www.freedoniagroup.com.
