We look forward to strengthening this relationship and supporting AFGC Members to be upskilled in all areas of technical packaging, sustainable packaging design, designing to be recycle ready, save food packaging and more. We are here to help any AFGC Member that needs knowledge gaps filled within the packaging side of their business.” she said.
