The staff of IMT wishes all of our readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It’s been our pleasure bringing you the trends that are changing the way the world does business, and solutions to help keep up. As we continue the climb back from the downturn, we look forward to delivering the information you need to succeed in 2011. Until then…

As 2010 winds down and the holidays render the workplace quieter, revisit recent IMT coverage for trends in product packaging (to think about when you unwrap any geeky gifts you may receive), insights from The Packaging Diva, opportunities for distribution growth and 2011 policy issues in occupational safety. Find out about the state of the holiday office party, and discover some surprising facts on the business side and creative side of Christmas.

Industry Market Trends will return with daily updates on Jan. 3, and our first biweekly e-newsletter of the new year will be published on Jan. 5. Until then, we would like to wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011!

Cheers,

IMT Staff
