We're dedicated to reinvesting in our business and expanding our services to meet demand," said Adam Gittlin, president of JKG Group. "This investment dramatically extends our product packaging capabilities, enabling our clients to enjoy the competitive advantages of single-source packaging services under one roof."

Many product formulators and manufacturers are transitioning to smarter packaging. Offering soft-sided pouch packs to replace rigid plastic packaging is increasingly popular, says Gittlin, observing that pouch packs use less packaging material, create less solid waste, require less shelf space, and cost less to ship.
