Shedding Some Light on the Show

January 23, 2008

EmailEmailPrintPrintReprintsReprintsshareShare



From personal care to food and specialty items, this year’s PLMA Trade Show features a wide range of items.

Thanks to the growing interest in private label, store brand programs at supermarkets, drug stores and mass merchandisers, as well as other segments selling home/office products, household goods and do-it-yourself products, the demand for these products continues to grow, and retailers need to find strong, reliable supplier partners.

The Private Label Manufacturers Association’s annual private label trade show puts the world of store brands under one roof, hosting more than 5,000 visitors and 2,000 buyers — all focused on the tens of thousands of products on display. The show features foods in the fresh, frozen, refrigerated, snacks, beverages, ethnic specialties and gourmet segments; and non-food segments including paper, plastics, wraps, foils, kitchen and household products, health and beauty care, do-it-yourself goods and general merchandise.

To help you navigate the offerings and get an up-close look at what’s available at this year’s show, PL Buyer has showcased some of the best items for you to preview.

Have a great show!

Stand-up bags for baking nuts

New from Azar Nut are stand-up bags for the baking nut section. Currently, baking nuts are sold in standard pillow packs/laydown bags — but these are not consumer friendly as it is very difficult to read the product description. Theses types of bags also are hard to merchandise as they don’t stack well and may require special shelving. The new stand-up bags from Azar solve both of those issues. They are easy to merchandise as they do not require any special shelving and stand up on their own. Because they are standing up, the front panel is clearly and completely visible to the consumer, making it easy to shop the section.
