The company partners with CCL for its first Sleeve project for Finlandia Vodka. They unveiled a new package design for the premium vodka brand, known for its pristine and smooth taste and innovative bottle design.

The new edition is dressed from head to toe in a premium PET Shrink Sleeve from CCL Label printed in Offset Gravure combination. The trendy design, combined with pearlescent varnish and special metallic elements will surely attract additional attention to the product.

The machine on which we most often integrate robotic technology is our Prima K7 automatic thermoforming machine , an excellent solution used for the production of PET, PVC and polystyrene trays for the packaging of syringes, vials and bottles. In a recent application we have integrated about ten robots. But Prima K7 is a transversal machine that is also used in other industries, such as food where it is widely used for the packaging of single-dose food.

But how to choose the robot?

Huhtamaki, a key global provider of sustainable packaging solutions, today announces a first-to-market sustainable innovation for the global pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.

The Leeds-based thermoformer will exclusively produce GravityTray – a plastic tray that uses gravity rather than absorbent soaker pads to remove liquids from packs of meat and fish. At present these pads render such trays unrecyclable, a problem further exacerbated by the fact that trays are currently produced from a variety of different materials, meaning recycling even without the pads is extremely unlikely.

Alto Packaging’s plant in Albany, New Zealand, now processes 100 percent washed postconsumer flakes into 100 percent food-contact grade monolayer thermoforming sheet.

According to a news release from Amut Ecotech, Alto, which is a division of Pact Group, invested in the new food-grade PET sheet extrusion line as a part of Pact Group’s vision to lead a circular economy through packaging in Australia and New Zealand.

Finnish pulp and paper manufacturer Stora Enso has added a sustainable packaging solution to its Trayforma range for ready meals.

Named Trayforma PET34, the packaging includes less than 10% polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic content.

It is suitable for conventionally heated food packaging applications as it can withstand temperatures of up to 220°C.

In addition, the solution can be processed in fibre-based packaging recycling streams due to its considerably reduced use of fossil-based barrier materials.

In conjunction with America Recycles Day, Amcor Rigid Packaging (ARP) is announcing a technological advancement that makes it possible for billions* of small bottles to be recycled. ARP, known for its designed-to-be-recycled packaging, is always looking for ways to increase the amount of material that makes it to – and through – the recycling process.
