Massachusetts-based, online B2B directory-driven marketplace platform 'JAZD Markets' has announced the addition of Chicago-based Packaging World, as the exclusive packaging marketplace partner.

The Packaging World Marketplace will provide brand owners and packaging industry professionals with an in-depth buyers guide and vendor directory as an optimum resource for conducting due diligence when making investments in packaging equipment, materials, technology and related services.

Summit Publishing and Publisher of Packaging World VP Joe Angel said that they aim to create a customized online packaging vendor directory that will deliver great value to buyers and sellers alike. This is a natural extension to the Packaging World brand and will provide the audience with a powerful venue for research and information.

Packaging World Marketplace will deliver supplier and product information, comparisons, reviews, videos, downloadable research and the ability to network with peers. Debuting in Fall 2010, an unlimited universe of packaging professionals will be able to utilize this decision making tool to source their next packaging supplier.
