Increasingly, package production is being integrated with packaging in operations such as beverage lines where bottles and closures are molded and fed into the filling, capping, labeling and end-of-line processes.

Sometimes the systems are housed in separate plants and at other times they are integrated into packaging lines.
Whatever the scenario, it will pay to keep up with the latest innovations in converting and printing.
