“Elder Boomers” in packaging surveyed
In February 2015, Packaging Digest magazine conducted a survey under US “Elder Boomers” in the field of packaging: professionals aged 60 and more. Most (56%) work in either the food or beverage packaging markets.
The vast majority have been working in packaging for 25+ years (87%). Nearly 60% work for either a brand owner or packaging vendor. Four out of five (81%) report that their colleagues view them mainly as an asset, while a minority, 17%, reports that they are viewed as both an asset and an obstacle. Asked how their company views them, 70% feel that their experience is seen as an advantage, while 28% feel their experience is viewed as a mixed bag of positives and negatives.

On 23 April 2015 the 1st European Conference on the Future of Business Education in Packaging will take place. This conference is organised by NVC.
