Packaging Industry Defined

• $415 billion plus global market– includes components, machinery, services.

• Generally grows at GDP– some sectors growing/declining at multiples of

• Virtually everything is packaged!– Exceptions: aircraft, ships and locomotives.

• Consumer Packaging: 70% of output. Industrial: 30% of output.

Page 7: International Metal Decorators Association 2004 Annual Convention May 20th, 2004 Holiday Inn Conference Center Willowbrook, IL.

Packaging Industry Defined

• Plastics is growing share as a material class• Composite structures are back in vogue• Flexibles are the rage in terms of structure• Systems sales approach is gaining favor:

– container, closure, label & filling system.

• Outsourcing of historically “critical” activities: R&D, packaging, logistics, warehousing, distribution and fulfillment.

What is Innovation in Packaging?

Page 49: International Metal Decorators Association 2004 Annual Convention May 20th, 2004 Holiday Inn Conference Center Willowbrook, IL.

• Market & Customer Selection!!!!

• The commodity fallacy:making $ in the down & dirty markets

• The proprietary fallacy:losing your shirt making unique product!

• Being a low-cost producer is not enough!

• “Toll Booths”Trade secrets, “IP,” Product Branding.NPD Skills, Bundler, Controlled Distribution

Keys to Value Creation

Page 50: International Metal Decorators Association 2004 Annual Convention May 20th, 2004 Holiday Inn Conference Center Willowbrook, IL.

•Size & scale is not the primary requirement for success– Aptargroup– Winpak– Multi-Color– Pechiney Plastic Bottles

Keys to Value Creation

Page 51: International Metal Decorators Association 2004 Annual Convention May 20th, 2004 Holiday Inn Conference Center Willowbrook, IL.

• What are the Critical Parameters for Success in R&D? “The capability to build in new layers of value for our customer’s products!”

Market Background

Comments Label Making Technologies

Primary Labeling Technologies

• Global labeling and product identification has estimated revenues of approximately $30bn and average growth rate of 4–6%

• Self-adhesive labels have been historic growth vehicle in market

– growth for PS lables declining to a more modest 4–6% recently

– future growth expected due to new substrates, printing schemes and technical features (i.e.–tamper evidence, RFID)

• Label continues to be primary and inexpensive marketing tool for food, beverage, personal care and media customers

• Industry returns/margins continue to deteriorate due to:

– low barriers of entry

– constant investment necessary to maintain leading edge technologies

– consolidated/large customers and suppliers squeezing converters

Key TrendsPlastic, currently 20–25% of volume, continues to take market share from paper as primary material for labels and product ID

Change ofBottle Form

Plastic growth is expected to accelerate as thinner, more cost effective substrates evolve

Multi-Process

Plastic BottlesGrowth in the use of plastic bottles over the last 10 years has increased use of plastic

labels use of plastic substrates highly correlated to plastic container growth

Performance Features

Plastic products provide increased performance benefits paper is not capable of• water resistant, tougher, tamper banding, UV protection, graphic capabilities

Clear on ClearNeed for transparent labels on clear bottles provides avenue for plastic substitutes

• Strong demand for “No-Label Look” labels 13

Key Drivers Comments

New Markets

Entry of labels into new markets as self-adhesive applications take hold• wine, beer• telecommunications• tires

Changes in bottle form–convex or concave–demanding sleeving technologies• especially full-body sleeves

Emergence of one-pass, multi-process label application equipment• wet glue applied, PS label and sleeving all in one pass

The Big Picture:“An Over-the-Horizon View”

• The world is shifting from West to East• Developing Countries will become world leaders in raw

materials: China, Russia, Taiwan• Purchasing/RD&E/NPD to stay local• “Ship to points:” i.e. converting & assembly assets will

become increasingly mobile!• NA Packagers should gear their portfolio around high

value exports and defensive domestic products• Japanese Trading Company Model could be template for

success!

Too Much of the “ Charlie Hustle” Model

• Doing the same old things faster & faster– Capital Investment– New Equipment– New Capability– Lower Pricing– New Business

• COMPETITION DOES THE SAME!!!

How Do You Define High Technology in Packaging (Today)

• Plants of “outrageous” proportion!– Volume of raw materials procured– “Filled to the gills” for maximum utilization– Shipping & warehousing costs associated with

“Mega Site” are absorbed like candy• Subsidized by:

– Lower fixed and variable costs

How Do You Define High Technology in Packaging (Tomorrow)

• Micro-factories

• Located in the market of consumption

• Despite Size differential, production costs are not at a premium to the current scale model!!!!!

Resolutions• Do not take business on price alone!

– Especially without supported cost / productivity/design benefits

• Don’t do business with customers/vendors who don’t appreciate:– Your company, your right to a reasonable

ROIC and you as a person.

• Just say no to reverse auctions!

Focus on the Win, Win, Win!

• Win # 2: Sharing a portion of this cost savings / technical gain with your first customer

• Win # 3: Providing cost savings to the merchandising chain and final customer!
