About Packaging News Net

Packaging News Net is an independent editorial platform covering the issues, trends, and technologies shaping the packaging industry. The focus is on substance over spin — analysis and commentary aimed at professionals who work in, around, or alongside packaging every day.

Coverage spans industrial, retail, and food packaging, with regular features on sustainability and regulation (including Extended Producer Responsibility and Deposit Return Schemes), logistics and fulfilment, brand and structural design, export packaging, and the ongoing challenge of reducing food waste through smarter pack design. If it matters to the packaging sector, it tends to end up here.

About David Holliday

I started out as an engineering apprentice. From there, the career went through R&D, field service, area and export sales, product management, and eventually running my own business before moving into marketing. That’s a long way of saying I’ve worked packaging from the shop floor up — and I’ve sat on pretty much every side of the table.

Packaging News Net grew out of a fairly simple idea: that there’s real value in commentary from someone who’s actually spent decades in the industry, rather than observing it from the outside. I write about what interests me, what concerns me, and what I think deserves more attention than it gets.

If you’d like to get in touch — whether to discuss featuring your company, share a story idea, or just talk packaging — you can reach me at david@packagingnews.net
