Beyond Packaging with Laura Foti & Matthew Wright · 2026-04-28 · 23 min
In this episode of Beyond Packaging, Laura Foti and Matthew Wright sit down with Greg Batt, Director of Clemson University's Packaging Science Program, to explore how the next generation of packaging professionals are reshaping the industry. Greg shares how his students are already using AI tools like ChatGPT to accelerate design and prototyping - turning what used to be napkin sketches into polished concepts in a fraction of the time. They talk about why thinking outside the box is no longer optional, how global events and geopolitical shifts are redefining materials, supply chains, and innovation, and how Specright is there to support these change makers and innovators. Plus, Matt Dingee takes us back to 1981 with a foil-stamped Prell concentrated shampoo tube and its very fancy snap cap. Listen now! Beyond Packaging is presented by Specright , the leader in Specification Management. Feel free to
