Campbell's Move to Flexible and Rigid Plastic Packaging
Campbell's Move to Flexible and Rigid Plastic Packaging
Campbell slowly moves products into new, flexible plastic PET based packaging
Campbell is known for its iconic metal soup can, but now things are changing for this giant corporation. While it is a big change, there is a lot of potential in cost savings with PET flexible plastic packaging. Not to mention, the sustainability and recycling implications are fantastic! Once this brand moves from metal to flexible plastic, entirely new markets can open up and cost efficiencies can be achieved. These new packages can also respond to demand shifts easier. Hopefully they make the full move soon!
