Episode Details

Pharma packaging works under stricter rules than almost anything else on the show floor. So why does so much of what’s built for it end up in food and beverage?

Editor-in-chief Liz Cuneo and Packaging World's Matt Reynolds report from day four of PACK EXPO International on AI inspection systems that learn to spot defects no one programmed them to find, closures that combine child resistance, tamper evidence and desiccant in a single cap, and cold chain shippers designed for the direct-to-consumer GLP-1 boom.

They also cover why pharma’s sustainability gains are coming in secondary and tertiary packaging rather than primary.
