COMPANY MERGER TO SET THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY ON FIRE

BOSTON SEAFOOD EXPO & PROPAK SOUTH AFRICA - MARCH 2016

BOSTON SEAFOOD EXPO & PROPAK SOUTH AFRICA - MARCH 2016

What a whirlwind these last 2 weeks has been!

BOSTON: 6TH - 8TH MARCH 2016

Joe Foster represented Foster Packaging Boston Seafood Fisheries and Seafood Processing Show from the 6th to the 8th of March. Once again we were co-exhibiting with long time partner, OK Corp (Specialists in  integrated Packaging Automation Systems).

There was great interest generated in our flat bottom bags as well as our increasingly popular short run digital options. We were hoping for a great turnout this year and we weren't disappointed and had lots of samples to give away showing our new technology.

Being regulars at the show, Joe caught up with some familiar faces and met many more.

With over 450 suppliers of packaging, labelling, food processing and plastics, Foster Packaging stood out with it’s new look and the "men in black"!

The team was filled with information on our pouch shop for ‘ready to label’ pouches, our digital printing for short runs, our gravure printing for long runs and wasted no time in sharing the information with visitors to the show.


This year we were joined by long time partner, Rex Pierik from Schutte bag closures.

 

The tradeshows are done and dusted and it is back to work, following up on leads from both shows!
