Hello and welcome to the March-April, and my first ever, issue of Packaging Gazette. I'm very much looking forward to my time as Acting Editor with Packaging Gazette, and I hope
you readers enjoy it also.
It's been a busy time in the packaging world recently, with the very successful Packaging Innovations show having just taken place, and IFE and Pro2Pac only around the corner as this issue goes to press. We will be taking a closer look at the goings on at Packaging Innovations this issue with our review of the show. We also look forward to the Total Processing and Packaging

ANTI DESIGN 21
We look at how supposed ‘plain’ packaging found its way into a major design award show
Exhibition, an event that Packaging Gazette is very proud to be involved with this year. Elsewhere we also have our
Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare special feature where Nick Burgoyne of White Communications looks at the rise of own brand packaging in the sector. We also include some of the latest news from Mettler Toledo and M&H Plastics. Our Question Time feature this issue will look at what responsibility manufacturers and distributors should take in reclaiming their wastage, and if schemes similar to the "take-back" ones in place in Germany, could be implemented here in the UK.
This issue's Design Gallery is, as always, filled with some of the most exciting new packs around, and we look at some of the nominations for this years WorldStar Awards. I also speak to curator Pete Collard on the inclusion of the Australian "plain" cigarette pack's in the Design of the Year Awards nominations, and discuss the wider implications this has on our ideas of design.
