• Amcor: Global flexible packaging giant serving healthcare, food, beverage, and personal care. Overlaps on flexible packaging pouches, rollstock, and medical device packaging, though at much larger scale and broader product scope.
• Toppan (Packaging Solutions): Diversified packaging and labels provider with healthcare and consumer exposure. Overlaps on pressure-sensitive labels, flexible packaging, and barrier film technology, particularly relevant for the medical device packaging vertical.
