We talk about being a material-inclusive association for all packaging – but what does that mean? Just like you wouldn’t remodel your kitchen with a chainsaw or cut down a tree with a table saw, in packaging you have to use the right tool for the job. No substrate is inherently “better” than another, and often they work best when used in tandem for creative solutions.
