As well asoffering producers and suppliers the chance toshowcase their wares to retailers, this sectionwill aim to focus on what factors are having themost impact on the food and drink sectorcurrently, what impacts have been feltnationally and internationally over the past sixmonths, and where producers should bepositioning themselves in the coming year.Advertising deadline: January 26th

Editorial deadline: February 2nd

APRIL-MAYStorage & WarehousingWarehouses play a central part in the FMCGsupply chain. They are used by manufacturers,importers, exporters, wholesalers, transportbusinesses, customs, and more. Storagerequirements obviously vary from product toproduct, be it perishable goods, luxury itemsthat can be easily damaged, large scale objectsthat require additional square footage andweighty items that pose more of a challenge to

lifting equipment and operators. Locationalconsiderations are also a key consideration formanufacturers looking to store items prior tosending to retail or direct to consumer. So whatcurrent factors and trends are most impactingon this industry? What, if any, legislation, iscreating a headache for storage suppliers? How are state-of-the-nation developments are affecting the services warehouse ownersand operators provide to their clients? Advertising deadline: March 30th

Editorial deadline: April 6th

Bottles, Caps & ClosuresHow does glass fare in today's market - how does it perform in comparison to othermaterials in terms of its production andsustainability? What can it offer compared to its PET rivals? Are glass bottles now justreserved for premium spirits and perfumes? Is glass making a comeback or has it nevergone out of fashion with FMCG manufacturers?Similarly, what are plastic bottles now offeringthat they weren't a year ago - are moreindustries 'making the switch' because ofthings like improved environmental credentialsor is this a two-way route? What are thechallenges for the bottle-making industrynowadays and are new products coming tomarket that are impacting on this?

Editorial deadline: April 6th

JUNE-JULYLogistics & Supply ChainOrganisations like the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport and The BritishInternational Freight Association (BIFA)champion the cause of all UK companiesinvolved in the transport of goods with goodreason. Ensuring FMCG items reach theirdestination safely, in the same condition they left a warehouse, and within a timespan

allocated, is a huge responsibility. In the past,we've heard how marketing activity like Black Friday and New Year sales have putpressure on the industry and created demands that can't always be met. So how is the industry rising to the occasion? Whatnational events are taking their toll? Whatdevelopments have been made to improvetransportation in different areas? How is theindustry filling skills gaps and responding to increasing consumer demands?Advertising deadline: May 25th

Editorial deadline: June 1st

coding considerations, product descriptionsand ingredient listings to be considered, then the actual format of the label itself, its application, durability and ease of removal when applied to a removable container.We want to hear from industry specialists aboutcurrent factors and issues affecting labelling -new trends and applications finding favour andwhere new legislation is providing furtherchallenge.Advertising deadline: August 3rd

MONTHLY FEATURES LIST

Recycling, Energy & The EnvironmentThe circular economy, as an alternative to the traditional linear economy where itemsare produced, used, and disposed of, is here to stay. Some countries are performing betterthan others in this arena, and both productand packaging manufacturers are vying tocome up with better environmentalcredentials and innovations. The challengehas been set for resources to be used for aslong as possible, with maximum valueextracted from them whilst in use, then seeing materials regenerated at the end ofeach service life. From energy used duringproduction, to the recycling of packaging and end products, we want to hear how theFMCG industry is fitting in to the circulareconomy, how it's responding to the latestlegislation challenges, and what areas aregoing to need careful consideration in the coming year.Advertising deadline: August 3rd

Editorial deadline: August 10th

OCTOBER-NOVEMBERShrink, Stretch & WrapHighly stretchable plastic films that arewrapped around items, keep items tightlybound, whilst in contrast, shrink wrap isapplied loosely around an item and shrinkstightly with heat. Used to bind together pallet loads as well as bundle smaller items,these films protect and secure products from tampering or theft. What currentchallenges are there in ensuring the product packaging is stabilised andmaintained before and during the wrappingprocess? What new types of stretch film arecoming to market and what qualities are being enhanced? How are themethods ofproducing stretch wrap evolving and how arethe current costs of production comparing toprevious years? What new challenges arethere regarding break strength, cling, clarity, tear resistance, static discharge, from customers and how is the industryresponding? SImilarly, how do manualwrappers compare to automatic wrappers?Advertising deadline: September 28th

Editorial deadline: October 5th

Refrigeration & CoolingIt's estimated that 30-40% of all foodproduced in the developed world is thrownaway, with rising populations and climatechange being major contributors to this.Refrigeration and cooling measures obviouslyplay a major part in reducing this wastage, but food and drink manufacturers need toensure they adhere to the latest legislationregarding production quotas for HFC gases(now widely used as replacement gases forCFCs and HCFCs). It's a careful balancing act - so what have been the chief challengesto the food and drink industry over the pastyear and what actions do they need to betaking over the coming 12 months? How widespread a problem is the over-stocking of chilled and frozen products?Are enough workstations providing completesolutions for the storage, production, dressing and plating of food products in retail and catering?How has the chilled snacking market evolvedover the past year, and what new challengesdoes this present to supermarkets,convenience retailers and forecourt outlets as well as to the manufacturers themselves?What problems do they face from faulty orunder-performing equipment and issues like 'cold leakage' within retailers'refrigeration aisles and how can these beovercome, with minimum loss?We're interested to hear insights on any or all of the above issues.Advertising deadline: September 28th
