In this edition of Packaging Technology Today, interviewer Vicki Kastory speaks with Carlo Bergonzi, G. Mondini Tray Seal Product Manager at Harpak-ULMA, about how consumer trends are reshaping snacks, ready-to-eat meals, and case-ready meats. Bergonzi explains that convenient, protein-forward, single-serve formats are rising, while retailers prioritize shelf-ready packaging and longer shelf life. He recommends film-seal and modified atmosphere packaging to reduce shrink, cut plastic use, and boost shelf appeal, supported by automation, smart conveyance, and vision-based compliance.
