Editor's letter

Dear Readers,

As 2024 draws to a close, we’re thrilled to bring you this special year-end edition of Inside Packaging. It’s been a year of tremendous change and innovation across the packaging sector, and this issue captures the key developments shaping our industry. 

In the Briefing Section, we review the crucial data, news, deals, and projects that defined 2024. In our In-Depth Section, we explore the trends that have left a lasting impact—from flexible packaging and shrink wrapping to intelligent packaging enhancing product safety. We also examine how circularity is redefining design and the rise of packaging converting for customised solutions. 

Sustainability continues to drive progress, and we end with insights on the future of eco-friendly packaging. 

Here’s to an exciting and innovative year ahead! 
Warm regards, 

Mohamed Dabo, editor
