Glimpsing the Future, Consumer Food Trends and Packaging Solutions

The Cryovac® Ready Meals Forum, “Glimpsing the Future, Consumer Food Trends and Packaging Solutions,” was held October 7 and 8 - the first of many customer seminars planned for Packforum® Americas, Sealed Air’s new innovation-and-learning center for the food packaging industry.

This forum allowed our customers to see the latest innovations in food packaging and hear experts discuss industry trends. Participants examined packaging solutions that should be explored to meet food manufacturers’ needs today and tomorrow and shared research outlining consumers’ packaging attitudes and needs.

During the two-day forum, attendees had the opportunity to browse Packforum® Americas’ retail supermarket cases that were stocked with a full range of ready meal options. Participants also took part in breakout sessions on topics such as ethnographic influences on package design and consumer market segmentation; microwave heating and cooking; and extended shelf life through high-pressure ultra-pasteurization.
