By Troy Carroll
The 20th century began with mass production that gave way to customized products and much more consumer choice. Likewise, the 21st century began with mass retailing that is already giving way to offerings more tailored to an individual’s tastes.

By Troy Carroll
Until recently, product packaging has been pretty much up to the task of delivering all that is asked of it.
