Retail Channels Packaging

PTIS brings together the retail perspective with proprietary packaging development to offer comprehensive services for retail channel packaging development through our Virtual Packaging Department™ (VPD).

Explosive growth in new channels, category concepts, specialty formats and premium store brands are supported by packaging designed to reach preferred shoppers. The increasing popularity of Private Label continues at the expense of national brands. New consumer attitudes about convenience, health, well being, and quality of life are driving major changes to retail businesses. Retail Packaging knowledge and expertise is needed across the value chain and PTIS is here to help.
