@AnnaWalkerGC @ClemsonGC #gcflexo I loved reading this article! I found it interesting that bold colors and effects in packaging is one of the main trends right now. I think I am definitely drawn to more bright packaging, so I think this definitely enhances a product's appeal.

In this article, the author sites 8 different predicted trends in packaging and explains them in more detail! The majority of the trends he explains have to do with digital, sustainable, and bold/cleaner packaging designs. outlookgroup.com/og-news/2018/0… #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@margaretgcu20 @ClemsonGC #gcflexo This was such an interesting article and an efficient way to reduce the use of plastics. It was shocking to read that only 9% of the 9 billion tons of plastic produced has been recycled!

99designs.com/blog/trends/pa… This article was so interesting in that it discussed the latest top 10 packaging trends. Doodles and simplicity are among the top trends, and I think this is evident in today's high quality packaging! @ClemsonGC #gcflexo

@AmeliaLittlejo1 @ClemsonGC This article was so interesting! It is intriguing that high security documents often use moire printing and contain visible fibers. The fibers appear randomly on the paper, which makes it difficult for counterfeiters to simulate this random effect. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

gemalto.com/govt/travel/se… For governments all over the fight to protect passports from fraud is growing, and this is when security printing comes in. There is a security printing technique known as Intaglio printing that provides a powerful security tool. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@aparke8tiger @ClemsonGC This is so interesting! Since Albertsons Companies is one of the largest food and drug retailers, it is great that they are making this change to use 100% recyclable packaging. This will reduce their carbon footprint significantly!! #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

flexotechmag.com/key-articles/2… I found this article interesting as it analyzed reasons that flexo proofing presses can identify faults that digital proofing cannot. Flexo proofing presses are able to achieve a match of nearly 98% of the production result! #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@elizabethwassy @ClemsonGC I found it interesting that Asia is now the most dominant market in packaging markets! Since some traditional flexographic markets are in decline, like newspapers and envelopes in the US, it makes sense as to why Asia is now in the lead. #gcflexo

This interesting article highlights 6 different areas to be aware of in the flexographic print market, a market which is growing at 2.3% annually! @ClemsonGC #gcflexo bit.ly/2R2zDYL

@AnissaMGC @ClemsonGC This was such an interesting article! I agree that printing will move towards an all digital phase in the next few years. I don't think flexo presses will disappear completely in the next 5 years, but I bet they will begin to phase out. #gcflexo

The future of flexo depends on how it adapts to other print technologies. Digital hybrid presses offer long runs, short turnaround and cost effective solutions. @ClemsonGC #GCflexo blog.focuslabel.com/what-is-the-ou…
