Sappi blue couch industry talk

For the ninth time, industry experts will discuss current industry trends and challenges at the Sappi Blue Couch. The topic "Label papers between growth and sustainability" is multi-faceted. Where is the label market headed? How can everyday products be labelled in a way that is resource-saving and environmentally friendly? These are the issues that Robert Gabriel-Jürgens, Head of Sales Label Papers at Sappi Europe, and Corey Michael Reardon, President and CEO of AWA Alexander Watson Associates, will be discussing in the new episode of the Sappi Blue Couch series.

What are the prerequisites of good packaging? In addition to providing product protection, barrier properties and storage, loading and transport functions, the service and advertising function also play a key role in the era of sustainability. Why is packaging so important for brand communication? How does it influence consumers’ feelings and reactions during the purchase decision process? Olaf Hartmann, Managing Partner of the German Multisense Institute, and Lars Scheidweiler, Head of Packaging Solutions at Sappi, address these and other questions in Episode 8 of the Blue Couch series: “Packvertising and the power of the brand at POS”.

In the latest part of the now established industry talk, episode 5, René Köhler from Sappi and a partner company present their strategic collaboration for the joint development of sustainable packaging solutions, which has been in place since 2018 - with great success. The guests on the Blue Couch show how the switch from plastic to paper-based solutions can be realised effectively and reliably at www.sappi-bluecoach.com.
