As of Jan. 1, Kyocera has changed the global packaging for its Gen and Shin Black series knives. The packaging is designed so that shoppers can see its color and grasp the knife handle through a slot in the packaging material. The inner part of the new packaging also has a recycled cardboard inlay (the old packaging material included a plastic blister).

To combat myths about deforestation and reduce consumption guilt, the new sustainability campaign emphasizes how our industry protects wildlife and habitats; creates innovative, renewable products; and supports the health of our planet through recycling and sustainability efforts.

The annual TLMI Label Awards Competition of the U.S. Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI) is focused on innovations and special technical achievements.

The new TrayPAKer – the result of three years of extensive research and development – solves many of the food industry’s most pressing concerns.

First it helps companies keep pace with the rapidity of modern supermarket supply chains. Second, its flexibility, speed and throughput deliver higher performance than the increasingly scarce manual labour it is designed to replace. Third, its modular design and small footprint makes it adaptable to even the most restrictive real-estate. And finally, it can readily adapt and transition from plastic to cardboard punnet packaging.

The jars also feature new graphics and a jar design with a new lid closure, the latter of which was made at Barilla’s manufacturing plants in Italy. Barilla also recently debuted a new pasta box without the plastic window to contribute to sustainability initiatives. The brand has expressed appreciation to Eviosys for its involvement in creating the new packaging design, contributing to the pesto range’s evolution.
