Sustainability in packaging survey

I thought I would pass this along in my blog in case you would like to participate:

Greetings from RIT.

RIT is conducting a survey on gravure sustainability in packaging printing. The goal is to capture the general view of all stakeholders regarding sustainability in the packaging gravure industry. We also welcome input from associations, universities, and research institutes who care about the graphic arts industry.

Please take the next 8-10 minutes to access the survey on-line at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=zS6q6TfgHGp5esCKC5JaUw_3d_3d

The survey will end by Fri., April 10th. To those who complete the survey, there is an opportunity to win a free iPod!

Thank you for your participation. We also appreciate that you forward the survey to interested parties.
