As we head into another new year the above quote is more relevant than ever, especially coming together and keeping together in our new normal. It has challenged companies more than ever and required unprecedented leadership. Joe Angel, President/Publisher, Packaging World MagazineJoe Angel, President/Publisher, Packaging World Magazine

Welcome to Packaging World’s 2022 Leaders in Packaging (LIP) program. This is our thirteenth year of formally recognizing the many innovative companies that supply packaging machinery, materials, and services for successful packaging operations and initiatives. Check out this link to our Leaders in Packaging Page, which lists leading suppliers that have elected to participate in this program. While not a comprehensive list of all packaging suppliers, they represent a diverse range, and this is one of the largest LIP “classes” since introducing this unique program in 2010.

Notably, you will find a prominent LIP area prominent on our homepage at www.packworld.com with a listing of the 200 participating companies by product category. As you click on any category, the participating suppliers will appear, and you can link to their special online profile page, complete with additional company information, videos, and content. The participating LIP companies’ profiles will also land in Google searches for enhanced SEO functionality. What’s more, there is a prominent link to each supplier’s website to make it easier to connect. And new in 2022 will be a LIP mini directory monthly in PW and PDF available with LIP participants by category.

Our annual Leaders in Packaging program also is helping to build tomorrow’s packaging leaders. Like in previous years, each participating supplier in our LIP program is a named packaging education supporter of the “Future Leaders in Packaging” (FLIP) scholarship from Packaging World and the PMMI Foundation, which will be awarded in 2022. This scholarship is for students pursuing degrees that will prepare them for a career in packaging.
