Episode #59 - Did 2020 Change Packaging Forever?

May 12, 2021

Guest: Matt Reynolds, Editor, Packaging World

On this episode of UnPACKed with Packaging WorldPW  Editor Matt Reynolds takes a step back from reporting on and analyzing the details of the latest packaging trends and provides a more holistic view focused on the year 2020. After a time unlike any other, Reynolds discusses the two biggest influencers on consumer behavior — COVID-19 and societal values — and how these two drivers changed the way consumers purchase and experience packaged goods. In turn, Reynolds reinforced his belief that packaging reflects society at large.
