Packaging Suppliers Global | Issue Five 2026

Welcome to our final edition of what has been a busy year for the industry. This time, the focus turns to food and beverage packaging, a sector navigating evolving regulations and increasing production complexity.

In this issue, our guest writer Ton explores the challenges of managing complexity in a changing food and beverage packaging market, while we also examine the decisions facing businesses as the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) brings new considerations to the forefront. Together, these features highlight some of the key pressures and priorities shaping the sector.

We also turn our attention to two major industry events: UKPackaging Expo, as it enters a new chapter, and Gulfood Manufacturing, which brings together the latest developments in food and beverage production and packaging. As we round off the year, we look forward to another busy year ahead.
