“Think before you Shrink” is the name of a free seminar on shrink sleeves to be held March 29-31 at Clemson University’s Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics. The event will feature presentations by experts in the business, as well as demonstrations of the full shrink-film production process by Omet, EskoArtwork, Anderson & Vreeland, Harper, Karlville Development, Flint Group, and others.
Featured speakers include Ron Ryback, president of Ryback & Ryback Consulting Inc., who has more than five decades of flexible packaging experience; and Will Schretzman, director of packaging and technical sales at Verst Logistics Group, who has worked in the printing and converting industry for over 25 years.
