Product Details

In North America alone, the pouch segment is experiencing an annual growth rate of 7.5 percent, and consumers in 2015 used 19.8 billion stand-up pouches, according to Schönwald Consulting.

The attendees at Global Pouch West 2017 in Anaheim CA learned about this explosive growth in pouches and why food, beverage, and household product manufacturers are making the switch from rigid to flexible packaging.

Global Pouch West is an event that features 1 ½ days of educational sessions, an exhibition reception, and numerous networking opportunities. It is where packaged goods manufacturers and suppliers meet to network and discover the latest trends, markets, and challenges in the flexible packaging market.
