Ardagh Group has gained a much coveted Alufoil Trophy 2019 for their new seafood can for Orkla Food Norway; a printed, easy open, aluminium lid and container for a traditional fish fillet.

This major project for Orkla’s Staburret mackerel filet, a national dish in Norway, has seen sixty different designs presented on a ‘Hansa’ shaped seafood can. Each design, some of which use cartoons, and all linked by the brand’s recognisable yellow background, represents a different town or place, an aspect of people’s behaviour or way of life in Norway. The attractive can is ultra-thin which provides an even greater sustainability advantage without affecting the can format or high-speed filling performance.

Patrick Savouré, Commercial Director Seafood at Ardagh Group’s metal division, comments, “I am delighted that this lightweight aluminium can with its striking design has been awarded such an important trophy.”

Orkla has specified aluminium for its cans for many years due to its 100% recyclability – endlessly without loss of quality - and excellent functionality.

Ardagh Group has produced the latest evolution of Absolut’s Elyx vodka bottle, which celebrates the role that copper plays in the distillation process of the luxury vodka.

Fredrik Kallqvist, Development Manager of Ardagh Group’s Glass Nordic division explains how the new bottle design has really pushed the boundaries of industrial glass production:

“The bottle’s square cross-section and areas combining heavy patterns with smooth sections meant we had to prepare for different cooling behaviours in different parts of the bottle. Also, the large labels in the new design required the bottle to be produced with demanding geometrical precision to achieve the perfect labelling platform.”

Ardagh Group’s involvement in the project from the very beginning was key to successfully developing the design. The Nordic team at Ardagh Group provided valuable manufacturing expertise when Absolut’s London-based design agency, Stranger & Stranger, presented their initial concepts for the new bottle.

The longstanding partnership between Ardagh Group and The Absolut Company was key to delivering this challenging design in a short timeframe. All sizes have been produced in Limmared, Sweden with excellent results.

Absolut Elyx is Absolut’s luxury, single-estate vodka brand. The new, faceted bottle design pays homage to the hand-operated vintage copper column still from 1921, which plays a vital role in creating Elyx’s smooth finish.

After announcing a partnership with the Research Center for Respiratory Diseases (CEPR) of Inserm/University of Tours in April 2017, Nemera is happy to publish enhanced drug deposition results compared to classic nasal sprays with RetroNose.

What are the proof of concept results? 
First outcomes of this partnership were presented at RDD 2018, to demonstrate the advantages of this technology resulting in an improved particle deposition in an upper airways model for local, vaccine and systemic drugs delivery1. Then, during DDL 2018, we showed that Retronose allows a more homogeneous and reproducible deposition in the different target  regions of the nasal cavity compared to classic nasal spray in three different nasal cast models. This should have a positive impact on clinical outcomes for chronic rhinosinusitis patients.

Furthermore, a recent clinical study has presented data from five cases of asthmatic patients with rhinosinusitis treated with an aerosol therapy exhaled through the nose4 using a similar concept. This study proves that administering corticosteroid in the nasal cavity through the mouth is clinically efficient.

This collaboration combines the specific know-how of CEPR and Nemera: CEPR’s know-how in respiratory pre-clinical and clinical research, as well as Nemera’s experience in development of drug delivery devices. 

Nemera will present this concept at RDD conference, which will take place next week in Lisbon.

With so much negative publicity surrounding plastic packaging in the consumer media – much of which is inaccurate or misinformed – RPC Group has put together a series of short videos that aim to give a succinct and balanced response to some of the frequently asked questions on this issue.

Topics covered in the four 60 second videos are the call to ban plastics altogether, an explanation of the plastics recycling process, the problems of ocean litter, the reasons behind the use of plastic in food packaging, and an understanding of the role of biodegradable plastics.

“We want to provide viewers with short and reasoned explanations of plastics’ role in packaging, including the benefits it brings and how to tackle some of the problems associated with its disposal,” explains RPC Group’s Sustainability Manager Katherine Fleet.

“We hope customers, consumers and all interested parties will find these useful aids in establishing a clearer picture of the ways in which we can continue to enjoy the many benefits of plastics while minimising their impact on the environment.”

The videos can be viewed on the RPC Group website (URL written below)

Oberschleissheim, April 2^nd, 2019 – Electric bicycles are becoming increasingly popular – in Germany, their number has nearly doubled in the last three years, according to the Federal Statistical Office. The importance of developing powerful and robust electric motors and precautions against tampering and pirating has grown accordingly. Schreiner ProTech delivers solutions for protection against weather and mechanical impact, for marking, and for authentication of Brose’s e-bike drive systems.

The demands made on the marking, tamper protection and anti-counterfeiting solutions for Brose’s electric drive system are high. Even after years of exposure to all kinds of weather conditions, reliable adhesion and readability of the labels have to be ensured. “In addition to retaining their visual appeal during their entire life, the labels must be UV- and weather-resistant, and withstand mechanical impacts such as gravel on the road,” says Jens Klüdtke, Key Account Manager at Schreiner ProTech. Specifically for these demands, the experts from Schreiner ProTech developed three different solutions: A label with a protective overlaminate effectively displays the manufacturer’s logo and optimally protects it against external influences. The second label is a nameplate which, in addition to marking the product, enables it to be authenticated by means of a complex, tamper-evident checkerboard film that is difficult to counterfeit.  Furthermore, a housing closure seal with security slits on the e-bike motor reliably indicates potential tampering attempts.

High Quality Standards for the Motor and Label
As the world’s fourth-largest automotive supplier in family ownership, Brose manufactures mechatronic systems for vehicle doors and seats as well as electric motors and electronics for steering systems, brakes, transmissions and engine cooling, etc. The company has transferred this know-how to e-bikes and designed an innovative drive system for electric bicycles. Brose applies the high quality standards of the automotive industry to e-bike drives as well. Systematic laboratory and extensive load tests ensure the quality and durability of the products.

Brose has been producing its e-bike drives in Berlin since 2014. More than 50 employees are engaged in Brose’s E-Bike Competence Center. Brose has become firmly established as a premium manufacturer in the fast-growing e-bike market. Forecasts promise significant growth in 2019.

The environment is sending a wake-up call to the world, governments worldwide finally seem to be willing to hear it. While plastic is ruining nature and ocean life, the best defense is to use less of it and to make sure that it won’t stay the easiest option for everyone.

Ranpak offers producers and suppliers paper alternatives to protect their products in the box, for void filling, cushioning, wrapping and cold chain packaging. With the new campaign ‘The Power of Paper’ Ranpak introduces you to their green DNA and image and shows you how to protect and ship products with a sustainable and cost-effective solution.

Ranpak explains why paper is the sustainable alternative for plastic: it is renewable, biodegradable and recyclable.

West Caldwell (New Jersey) – The Marchesini Group returns to the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York from 2-4^th April for the 40^th edition of Interphex, the premier pharmaceutical, biotechnology and device development and manufacturing event in the U.S.

Marchesini Group USA is expecting high attendance at the booth where, for the first time, a CMP PHAR.MA machine will be on show. CMP specializes in pharmaceutical inspection systems for ampules, vials and syringes. The company was founded in 1982, and was the first in the world to launch an automatic laser inspection machine for vials. CMP has enjoyed consistent growth and now exceeds a turnover of 9 million Euro, with a 35% increase in the last two years alone. 

With the addition of CMP in December, the Marchesini Group reaffirms its position as manufacturer of complete lines for producing and monitoring the pharmaceutical packaging process, from start to finish.

The winners of the World Aluminium Aerosol Can Award 2018 were announced at this year’s General Assembly meeting of the International Organisation of Aluminium Aerosol Container Manufacturers (AEROBAL), which was held in Düsseldorf. The competition organised by AEROBAL is highly regarded worldwide as a yardstick for the sector’s innovativeness and a reliable indicator of new trends and ideas. And once again, there were more than enough of these in this year’s entries. Nine highly regarded journalists from important and influential packaging journals and media around the globe selected the best and most innovative entries in two categories from the cans submitted: cans that are already on the market and prototype cans.

Nivea Body Mousse from Beiersdorf received the most votes for a can that is already on the market. The winning can is produced by German manufacturer Tubex. It impressed the judges in every respect. The mousse was specially developed for use in aerosol cans, so it is extremely smooth and light and easy to dispense. The can’s special shape means it fits neatly in the hand. It exemplifies perfectly an ideal combination of contents, design and print. 

The can’s unusual conical shape was obtained using so-called ‘spline’ technology, a technique that creates particularly fine transitions and avoids shadowing on the tube surface. The can’s stepped shoulder matches the geometry of the spray head precisely, which necessitated forming it in small steps. The quality of the print is also outstanding. The circular-looking brand logo is optically perfect and located in the shaped area of the can. However, a complex process was necessary to first modify the logo and then align it. When the logo is applied to a cylindrical can, it appears totally unregular and pre-distorted. The optical impression of a perfectly round logo is only obtained after the can is shaped horizontally and vertically. The can’s very subtle and transition-free colour gradient from opaque violet at the top to a very elegant pale violet in the lower part is also a masterly achievement. The finely nuanced reproduction of the mousse and the white drops of shea butter complete the perfect printed image. Together with the characteristic shape of the can, this gives the product and the brand a distinctive and impressive overall appearance at the point of sale.

In the Prototypes category, the judges awarded first place to the Eyeris Fox Can from Ball UK. The Eyeris technology opens up completely new opportunities for the graphic design of aluminium aerosol cans, especially as a result of the significantly improved reproduction of photorealistic elements. In previously unimaginable quality it is now possible to reproduce images of faces, human skin and other complex and richly detailed surfaces, like those of plants, fruit, flowers and many other design ideas. And also, of course, animal motifs that could hitherto only be depicted with difficulty and incompletely, like fur with detailed patterns and even the finest hairs – as the winning Fox Can impressively demonstrates. 

The Eyeris technology was originally developed for the company’s Beverage Group but was further developed especially for use with aluminium aerosol cans and now represents a real alternative to digital printing: 360° printing with unprecedented precision and strong, vibrant colours. Eyeris uses a patented process for artwork separation and printing-plate manufacture, which achieves a print quality of 150 to 200 dpi compared with the 133 dpi of conventional printing processes. Eyeris enables up to nine colours to be used without having to make large investments in new printing machinery. 

The latest development of the Eyeris technology has been available worldwide since 2018. The winning prototype is already a striking example of how the lifelike images used to design aluminium cans can be a real eyecatcher on the shelf and offer a brand a distinguishing feature. It is simply persuasive at first glance.

Comexi, global leading supplier of solutions for the flexible packaging printing and converting sector, and Vishal Containers LTD, a packaging solutions company from India, have strengthened their commercial relationship with the acquisition by the Indian company of a Comexi F2 MP, a hybrid flexo machine prepared for the market trend of flexible packaging. This purchase represents a step forward for Comexi in its commitment to consolidate itself as a reference in the flexographic technology market, while for Vishal Containers LTD it represents its first investment in flexographic presses, since until now they were gravure specialists.

The Indian company, which has several gravure machines, has decided to take the step to flexographic technology and has done so by betting for the first time on a hybrid Comexi machine with which they will be able to print with Solvent Base (SB), Water Base (WB) and Electron Beam (EB) technologies. This step allows Vishal Containers LTD to adapt to the new trend of the Indian market, which opts for flexographic technology to the detriment of gravure printing.

"We are proud to be able to install a machine with these characteristics in India", explains Jordi Puig, technical director of the Flexo business unit of Comexi, who adds that Vishal becomes "the first Indian client that has this technology, and the sixth in the world". In this sense, Vishal Patel, Director of Vishal Containers LTD, expresses its satisfaction for being "pioneers in our country and betting on a sustainable technology that will bring added value to our products ".

Fran Perez, India and Middle East area manager, states that “as a leading company of flexible packaging machinery we are really satisfied to offer this disruptive technology which will be a turning point in the area”.

The importance of sustainability for Comexi

The environment is one of the major concerns of the government of India, a country that is committed to eliminating plastics for single use within next years. Comexi is no stranger to this issue and has made sustainability one of its major bets present and future. The company has carried out a pioneering initiative to integrate for the first-time environmental impact studies in its core business with the aim to know and communicate at all times these impacts throughout the value chain of the manufacture of a flexographic printing product. Through the implementation of Eco-design in their products, a circular economy strategy is established to provide its customers with products that are respectful of the environment throughout their life cycle.

The Comexi F2 MP hybrid is a machine fully adapted to print solvent-based, water-based and curable EB inks, a technology in which Comexi is a pioneer. It is prepared for the future following the line of sustainability and circular economy and can be adapted to all possible changes and trends that may exist in the flexible packaging market. Born from the union of the Comexi F2 MP, designed to meet the printing needs of the longer runs of the flexible packaging sector for the retail and wholesale channel, and the Comexi F2 WB, the perfect solution for sustainable printing, of medium and long runs, in water-based inks without sacrificing speed and / or quality.

Vishal Containers LTD is a company with more than 30 years of experience whose main objective is to provide its customers with total packaging solutions under one roof. Located in an industrial area near Ahmedabad, one of its lines of work is the confectionery packaging material, among many others. The acquisition of the Comexi F2 MP hybrid represents for the Indian company its first commitment to a European machine, and they have decided to take the step for the trust generated with the Comexi team, as well as for the security of having the first quality service in flexo technology that Comexi offers in India.
