@maddiekbrown12 @ClemsonGC #gcflexo @ClemsonGC These are all incredibly interesting trends that the packaging business seem to be going in. The recycling aspect of it is particularly interesting, as it should really benefit us even more now that COVID-19 raises a higher need to cut back on costs.

This article highlights four packaging trends for 2020 that are going to drive business in the packaging world and take over the industry. These include sustainable packaging, ecommerce packaging, PCR packaging, and supply partners. #gcflexo @clemsongc packagingstrategies.com/blogs/14-packa…

@emilyysquires @ClemsonGC #gcflexo @ClemsonGC I too am interested in how COVID-19 will affect these trends, as it seems to be tanking our economy currently. With the damage done, these trends will more than likely slow down all at once, which brings up the question of if they will continue afterward.

This article, published Jan 30, 2020 suggested 4 trends we may see this year. Using AI is the most interesting to me, but it will be interesting to see how COVID-19 may change these by the end of the year. customerthink.com/printing-indus… #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

#gcflexo @ClemsonGC Medical Design & Outsourcing reports on how 3D printers are being used around the country to print out all kinds of things like ventilators, facemasks, etc to help in the shortages of necessary supplies for fighting COVID-19. bit.ly/2UHufPM

@akillingerGC @ClemsonGC This is great! I can imagine this has been somewhat of a game-changer when it comes to safety, as it opens up so many possibilities in terms of individuality to their customers, ensuring each person gets the right dosage of whatever medication they require. @ClemsonGC #gcflexo

@dannygirl12793 @ClemsonGC It's really interesting to see what the printing process and industry is like in other places around the world that are seemingly so different from our own! I wonder how much collaboration goes on between different countries and provinces with flexography. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@FlexTechAssn has created an incredibly helpful series of guides on how to make the best flexographic plates possible, such as how to distinguish between plate types or the different imaging mask technologies. @ClemsonGC #gcflexo bit.ly/2SPSjPF

@GC_Litchfield @ClemsonGC It really is a good thing that something like this is being made, as it doesn't seem like the importance of cleaning anilox rollers is known well enough. A botched print due to a dirty anilox can cause the printing company and their buyers lots of money. #GCflexo @ClemsonGC

Lack of maintenance/cleaning anilox rollers leads to inconsistent colors + solids in print. Alphasonics has specially formulated cleaning equipment for their flexo machines to ensure environmentally friendly disposal of water based inks + a clean anilox roller @ClemsonGC #gcflexo

@TyeshiaWilliam4 @ClemsonGC This article brings up an interesting point about eco-friendly packaging. When using biodegradable inks for the packaging, you are not only helping the environment, but also showing to the customer that your packaging is safer, which could help in sales. #GCflexo @ClemsonGC

Tony Renzi's article " Four Key Packaging Trends Are Driving Innovation in Inks" puts into perspective why inks need to innovated and how marketing trends are not meeting the needs of consumers. @ClemsonGC, #gcflexo flexpackmag.com/articles/89956…
