Rankings of format and materials<\/h2>\n

The increase was also seen in the packaging supply chains, which saw a growth in production compared to the previous year. With the best results in the ranking, we find glass<\/strong> (+4.8%), flexible converter packaging<\/strong> (+3.1%) and plastics<\/strong> (+2.6%).<\/p>\n

Followed by paper and board packaging (+1%), steel (+0.3%), and wood (+0.1%). Rigid composite-material containers are stable. On the other hand, aluminium production volumes decreased (-5.5%) compared to the previous year. Turnover from the various supply chains also increased, with particularly positive results for glass (+8%) and aluminium (+6%).<\/p>\n

Etipack solutions supporting the trend<\/h2>\n

The first supply chain in the ranking is also the one that most involves Etipack: glass<\/strong> is in fact the leading player in most of the products labelled and processed by our customers thanks to our solutions. In fact, the products mainly made of glass, plastic and flexible,<\/strong> are pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food and beverage<\/strong>, which also are the supply chains that we serve with several labelling and product handling systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n
