Packaging distributor reviewing profit charts for stand-up pouches alongside traditional boxes and tape.

Use the fictitious company Mind+Body as the brand and label the products with real products that would be packaged in the pouches. Do not use Lorem Ipsum copy in the graphic.

The Opportunity: High-Margin Flexible Packaging
