With unparalleled concern surrounding packaging and its role in the global waste crisis, it’s no surprise that 2019 is shaping up to be a crucial one for our industry.Consumers are growing increasingly mindful of how sustainability relates not only to packaging but products across the entire supply chain, right down to the sourcing of raw ingredients. Generations X and Y, in particular, are heavily influenced and driven by environmental issues as well as the over-arching concept of

responsibility and accountability. As a society, we have clearly turned a corner. And as a sector, we are proudly leading the way. The packaging industry has become a breeding ground for innovation as suppliers and brands seek out new solutions to meet growing environmental, economic and social demands – particularly across the food and beverage industry. Nowhere was this more evident than at Packaging Innovations in February where we joined as a community to showcase industry advancement while brainstorming how we might push boundaries even further. It’s this sort of unity and communication that’s required to achieve society’s wider sustainability goals. DEFRA’s Resources and Waste Strategy is a prime example. There’s no denying the fact: It’s an ambitious policy. As consultations continue over the coming months, stakeholders from across the spectrum will be assessing the financial implications and pulling in different directions. The strategy, however, can succeed if everyday people, the business community, resource sector and various tiers of government all work as one. As an industry, we will continue to set an example - and break new ground. Here’s to another outstanding year ahead.

We hope you enjoy this year’s book.

FOREWORD

2018 began with a bang, not only for packaging but for me personally! It was in January last year that I took over as Chair of The Packaging Society. Talk about ‘in at the deep end’! No sooner had I sat down, the BBC’s Blue Planet II programme was broadcast, focussing on plastic waste in our oceans. This was the start of a veritable tsunami of reaction from the media and public alike.We resisted the temptation to give a quick, knee-jerk response. Instead, we listened, debated and discussed the central issues that, in our opinion, needed addressing.This resulted in The Packaging Society identifying the top five issues we believe are key to at least starting to improve the packaging waste situation that exists across the world.This exercise was an enlightening journey. One of those top concerns surrounds education. We find ourselves with second generation litter bugs, people who discard used packaging without thinking about the consequences. Only this

morning, the news carried a story about a farmer whose two cows had choked to death because they’d ingested litter thrown on the ground. Better education is needed across the whole spectrum; in schools, colleges, universities and in the home. So, what do we mean by education about packaging? I believe it was a professor of Polymer Chemistry from Exeter who told the media ‘Plastic is not the problem, the problem is how the public disposes of it after use’…or words to that effect. Perhaps this isn’t the total solution, but it’s a good starting point to make people stop and think.All packaging waste has a value, either as a material that can be re-used, recycled, composted or incinerated. Value can be material value, financial value or calorific value, for example.Another crucial issue: returnable deposit schemes. As youngsters in the early 1960’s, much of our pocket money came from taking glass ‘pop’ bottles back to the shop where you could claim back the deposit paid when the original

purchase was made. At the age of 5 or 6 years old, I’m sure the seeds were sown for my entrepreneurial and business spirit to develop! Near my home, a new housing estate was being built. Very quickly my friend, Ant, and I found that the builders would bring bottles of ‘pop’ to work and leave the empties behind. After school, we’d go round with our cart collecting up all the bottles, wash them out and return them to the shop at the end of the week! Bingo, money!Until recently I had a home on Vancouver Island, Canada, where my step daughter, Katelyn, collects empty bottles, cans and liquid packaging as they do have a deposit scheme. Just before Christmas I took Katelyn with sacks full of the above items to the recycling depot. After putting everything into the correct crates she walked away with the Canadian equivalent of £50. Her Christmas pocket money!There are similar schemes operating across Europe, youngsters have an inherent sense of value and, as a result, the

amount of packaging litter is minimal. Unfortunately, our current culture is that we do not recognise the value of recyclable or re-useable cans and bottles. Many children have come to rely on the ‘Bank of Mum or Dad’ when they could easily be earning their pocket money while helping to keep their community cleaner. It’s pleasing to see that initiatives are starting to emerge to adopt deposit schemes. We believe there’s a big opportunity for the supermarkets. If they install re-vending machines in store, then shoppers can bring their empty cans and bottles - and the deposits can be issued as points on their loyalty cards. The supermarkets would find themselves in a win-win situation!One of the biggest challenges is the variation in what can go into the recycling bins for kerbside collections. After conducting research, we found council collection schemes vary in quality and content. This can be very confusing for the householder trying to ‘do their bit’.We believe a National Strategy is needed so every council has the same collection criteria. We asked, why is there so much variation? The answer: there are a number of different major sorting depots around the UK and they all have their own specifications which differ from one to another. A unified, consistent specification would make recycling more straightforward, more responsible, more profitable and reduce landfill.However, one thing should be made absolutely clear: there is a need for the use of plastics in packaging. For example, the barrier properties of plastic films

are excellent. There is much debate regarding food waste. Without packaging films and modified atmosphere packaging, many products, such as salads, would be impractical to supply as the spoilage would be catastrophic. There are many other examples - stop and think and you’ll realise how much we take for granted.We need to examine our packaging materials in a holistic approach. Is it fit for purpose, is it over-packaged, could we do better with less? Are all the packaging components easily recycled or re-usable? There is hope: the marketing departments are realising that there is a tide of change within the packaging sector. Recently, Heinz have been running an advert for their Cream of Tomato Soup, a family favourite for as long as I can remember. At the end of the advert they say the tin is the only thing protecting it, subtly saying that there’s only one layer of packaging there. When a major brand owner like Heinz takes the initiative, others will soon follow.There are an increasing number of new polymer materials emerging with various environmental claims, such as bio-plastics and bio-based polymers. We believe a better classification/specification of these materials is needed, to include standardised recyclability or compostability conditions and outcomes. At the same time, much more thought needs to be given as to how these products will be handled at end of life without either further confusing the consumer or creating new problems for the collectors and reprocessors. Once established,

suppliers and buyers will have unambiguous specifications for their packaging materials and consumers will know what to do with them.Against this backdrop, 2018 has provided some of the greatest opportunities for packaging materials research and development. There have been a number of seminars and conferences held by The Packaging Society – and other packaging related organisations. These events have helped to raise the awareness of emerging technologies and novel materials for packaging.As we move into 2019, we can see many of the ideas, products and strategies identified above coming to fruition. Notwithstanding any effects that Brexit might eventually have, the year ahead should see many changes. Better understanding of the importance of packaging and its role in reducing food waste. Better understanding of the value of packaging waste. Better packaging materials wherever possible to ensure they can be more easily recycled, reclaimed and reused.In addition to all these developments, The Packaging Society and IOM3 have a new champion. Dr Colin Church has taken over as CEO. His previous role was that of CEO of CIWM, the professional body for resource and waste managers, so we are well placed to face the challenges ahead.We, as a packaging industry, have one of the greatest opportunities ever to make a major contribution to improving the world that our children will be living in.


FOREWORD

April 2018Aldi joins WRAP’s plastic initiativeAldi threw its weight behind a national deposit return scheme (DRS) for plastic bottles and said it would assess the feasibility of how such a scheme could be implemented. The WRAP initiative aligns with Aldi’s own packaging reduction strategy; it will ensure all packaging on its own-label products will be recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2022. Aldi also announced plans to scrap 5p carrier bags as part of its drive to cut the amount of packaging and plastic used by both its business and customers. The supermarket instead offered bags for life as well as reusable 9p bags made from back-of-store plastic waste. Aldi has charged for single-use bags since

opening its first UK store in 1990, and has used plastic recycled from its back-of-store waste to make its reusable carrier bags since 2017. Bain Capital Private Equity acquires World Wide PackagingBain Capital Private Equity announced the acquisition of World Wide Packaging LLC. Simultaneously, it agreed to purchase a Chinese cosmetics packaging manufacturer with plans to merge both into a fully integrated solutions provider. Bringing together World Wide Packaging’s strong design capabilities, rich library and fast turnaround times with reliable manufacturing capabilities in China, it said the combined entity would be well-placed to provide

innovative solutions to beauty brands in the US and beyond.

Nestlé announces 100 per cent recyclable or re-usable plansNestlé declared its intention to make 100 percent of its packaging either recyclable or re-usable by 2025 with the aim that none, including plastics, ends up in landfill or as litter. Nestlé CEO Mark Schneider said: “Plastic waste is one of the biggest sustainability issues the world is facing today. Tackling it requires a collective approach. We are committed to finding improved solutions.”The company will focus on three core areas: eliminate non-recyclable plastics; encourage the use of plastics that allow better recycling rates; and eliminate or

It only requires a quick glance at the past year’s industry news to appreciate what a significant - and memorable - year it has been. More than a decade after the last national waste scheme, the Government unveiled its long awaited Resources and Waste Strategy - a bold blueprint which in Michael Gove’s own words, sets out “how we will go further and faster, to reduce, reuse, and recycle.” As an industry, we are already boldly going where no one has gone before. Nowhere is that more evident than at events like Packaging Innovations and PPMA where new, pioneering concepts are showcased for the first time. We can feel justifiably proud of the progress we are making as a sector. We are building a brighter future for packaging. Our Year in the News section provides an opportunity to reflect on those developments.

change complex combinations of packaging materials. May 2018Industry urged to take advantage of renewables insightsAwareness of ongoing research into packaging made from natural renewable resources needs to be raised according to The Packaging Society and Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3). Barrier-treated cartonboards, cellulose films and moulded pulp products have long had to compete against alternative laminates, and not provided a viable economic alternative. The Packaging Society’s new Chairman, Ian Davis, urged packaging specifiers, technologists, producers and retailers, especially those in the food and beverage sectors, to take advantage of new insights being provided into applications, performance and suitability for recycling, composting and sustainability.

Plain packaging is failingA year after its controversial introduction, plain packaging is failing in the UK, claims The Tobacco Manufacturers’ Association (TMA). Reducing smoking levels was a key objective behind the introduction of plain packaging since its inception in

May 2017. But findings from The Smoking Toolkit Study (STS), a national programme run by University College London and endorsed by the Department of Health which has tracked key indicators around smoking in England since 2006, reveal an upturn in smoking levels. Fake plain packaged cigarettes have been found across the UK whilst new polling shows that plain packaging is encouraging millions of smokers to buy from the black market. The Smoking Toolkit Study found that on a three-month rolling average, from December 2017 to March 2018, smoking rates in England were higher than for the same time last year before plain packaging was fully introduced. TMA also carried out an anti-illicit trade poll of 4,480 smokers in April and May 2018 which revealed that 27 percent agreed that plain packs made them more likely to buy untaxed tobacco and 34 percent agreed that minimum pack sizes made them more likely to buy untaxed tobacco.

June 2018FMCG manufacturers and packers hit by CO2 crisisAn ongoing shortage of CO2,

believed to be caused by a longer-than-usual break in ammonia production in Europe, is threatening to have a drastic impact on the FMCG industry and its packaging suppliers during the current hot climate, with food, carbonated drinks and medical suppliers all affected by the shortage. The gas is used to carbonate drinks, preserve fresh foods such as poultry and meat in sealed packages, as well as for some medical procedures. CO2 helps to protect meat and poultry from germs when it is packaged for sale. It is unknown how long the shortage will continue, but at least five Co2 producers in Northern Europe are affected, with UK producers also closing for seasonal maintenance. A shortage of meats, salads and carbonated drinks is foreseen as supplies run low during the current hot weather. The FSA, along with trade bodies such as The British Poultry Council and BMPA (the British Meat Processors Association) have called for the

Government to take action to help the industry. There has been interruption in the supply of fizzy drinks, beer and a wide range of foods that are kept fresh during storage and transit using CO2. The British Retail Consortium has written to retailers informing them that drinks and meat supplies could be affected. Pro Carton announces new presidentPro Carton, the European Association of Carton and Cartonboard manufacturers, has announced Horst Bittermann, Head of Marketing at Mayr-Melnhof Karton (MM Karton), as its new president, taking over from WEIG-Karton’s Roland Rex.The announcement was made at Pro Carton’s recent AGM, where Rex formally stood down, having held the position for the past eight years. An experienced sales and marketing professional of 25 years, Bittermann has worked in a variety of senior roles in private banking,

retailing and now packaging. Joining MM Karton in 2008, he currently heads up the marketing department of one of the world’s leading manufacturers of coated, recycled cartonboard with an increasingly strong position in the production of recycled liner and virgin fibre cartonboard.

July 2018Millennials’ healthy eating focus fuels free-from segmentNew research into UK shoppers’ attitudes towards free-from food and drink has revealed that younger consumers choose it as part of a healthy lifestyle choice, rather than because they have allergies or intolerances. The study, conducted by research agency Future Thinking, questioned 2,000 Brits and found that almost half (43 percent) of 16 to 34-year olds consider free-from foods to be healthier options. By comparison, only a fifth (22 percent) of 55 to 64-year olds share this opinion. When questioned on why they buy free-from products, perceived health benefits were cited as the greatest sales drivers. Notably, more than half (52 percent) feel wheat/gluten-free is better for digestion, while a quarter (24 percent) believe it offers better absorption of nutrients. Moreover, 36 percent suggested dairy-free foods are healthier alternatives, a fifth (21 percent) feel they are better for the skin than products containing dairy. The free-from sector has grown exponentially, increasing 40 percent in 2017 (£230m) alone. However, Future Thinking’s research suggests there’s still a lot more the sector needs to do to maintain this level of success. The research offers some points for consideration here: 36 percent of Brits believe the pricing of free-from alternatives needs to be brought into line with regular counterparts; a quarter (24 percent) are looking for a wider variety of choice and 22 percent feel manufacturers need to improve the taste so consumers don’t feel like they’re missing out when choosing free-from options.

Food and drink sector lags on sustainability targetsThe UK food and drink industry continues to suffer from excessive levels of waste, low use of renewable energies and a generally poor attitude towards sustainability investment according to a new report. Food Fw, which compiled the report, has warned that the UK food and drink sector is in danger of failing to keep up with targets set by initiatives such as the Courtauld 2025 agreement, which aims to cut waste and greenhouse gas emissions by at least one-fifth per person by 2025. Food Fw analysed publicly available information from 178 companies within the Food and Drink Federation in H1 2018 to better understand the position of the sector. The firm evaluated the level of progress towards sustainability, including environmental practices, sourcing, staff engagement, and relationships with key bodies such as WRAP and The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.

August 2018Call for UK food and drink supportThe Food and Drink Federation (FDF) is calling on Government to provide greater support for UK food and drink manufacturers to compete with European rivals following the announcement of strong export growth figures in the first half of 2018.The call to action follows the recent publication of the Government’s Export Strategy. The Food and Drink Federation’s (FDF) latest export statistics show that in the first half of 2018, UK exports of all food and drink hit £10.68bn, up 5.1 percent on the same period in 2017, led by growth to the EU27. Exports to EU countries (+7.3 percent) grew at a faster rate than those to non-EU countries (+1.6 percent). However, UK export growth to Japan and

the US is being outpaced by both Spain and Ireland, and more support is needed. FDF has submitted a detailed sector deal proposal for the food and drink industry which includes plans to boost specialist export support, including increased access to market research, in-market specialists, and the development of an online food and drink export portal. The proposals were submitted in response to the publication of the Government’s Industrial Strategy white paper last year.

September 2018UK parliament to dramatically reduce plasticThe UK Parliament has announced that it intends to lead by example and replace existing single-use plastic items in the House of Commons and the House of Lords with a new range of compostable products. The plant-based products include certified compostable single-use cutlery, coffee cups and lids, soup containers, takeaway food containers, salad boxes, and drinking straws. New waste bins will be introduced to capture used compostable items, which will then be sent to a specialist waste facility. An in-vessel composting method will use a combination of heat and microbes to turn the waste into compost fit for any garden. Food waste is already captured separately and sent to an anaerobic digestion facility to produce biofertilizer and methane gas for energy generation. ESA outlines how to meet recycling targetsThe Environmental Services Association (ESA), the voice for the UK’s resource and waste management industry, has launched the second of two new reports looking at what it will take to meet the (weight-based)

A YEAR IN THE NEWS


recycling targets proposed by the EU Circular Economy Package. The report, ‘Smarter Measures for the Circular Economy’ highlights how we measure the recycling rate and why weight is not the best way of measuring what is actually remanufactured into new products. It details why we should measure more than just the recycling rate, and contains proposals for how to measure things differently to help the move to a more circular economy.The report stresses that increasing domestic reprocessing capacity should be a priority, with UK manufacturing industry demanding recycled content. Instead of an absolute target for recycling, individual material streams should each have their own target, linked to the best environmental option for that particular material, states the report, while changes need to be made in the way products are produced, consumed, and how they are treated when they are discarded. It recommends products containing “hard to recycle” materials should attract a cost of recovery charge which could drive investment into product redesign

and methods to recover and reuse key components.

Businesses take the lead to drive down food wasteNinety of the UK’s largest retailers, food producers, manufacturers, and hospitality and foodservice companies have committed to targets laid out in a new industry Food Waste Reduction Roadmap. The roadmap has been developed by IGD, the education and training charity for the food and grocery industry, and WRAP, to further reduce the UK’s £20 billion food waste problem. It encompasses the entire supply chain from field to fork, and shows what large businesses will do to address food waste within their own operations by supporting their suppliers. It also sets out how these businesses can engage with consumers to help reduce their food waste. The roadmap has the support of the UK’s largest food trade bodies, businesses across the supply chain and Defra, Welsh and Scottish Governments. By September 2019 (the first major milestone on the Roadmap), the aim is to have 50 percent of the UK’s largest 250 food businesses measuring,

reporting and acting on food waste, with all 250 companies doing so by 2026.

October 2018Steel recycling at all time highRecycling of steel packaging in Europe has reached a new high of 79.5 percent and is well on track to reach the industry’s self-imposed target of 80 percent by 2020, according to figures issued by APEAL, the Association of European Producers of Steel for Packaging. The data from 2016, means that for every 10 items of steel packaging put on the European market, close to eight have been collected, recycled and made available for manufacture of new products.

considerable shift in attitudes across the generations. Eighty percent of Generation Z ranked tackling single use plastics as important or very important for employers, ahead of reducing electricity and water consumption and reducing greenhouse gases. A further 37 percent consider a potential employer’s environmental responsibility when looking for a job: 43 percent of these said they would be shocked if their employer kept using single use plastics.

OBP market riseA recent survey predicts that the global market for oxo-biodegradable plastic packaging is set to rise by 5.4 percent per annum. The report by Persistence Market Research says the OBP market is being driven by the need for more environment-friendly packaging solutions and government regulations.

November 2018Walkers teams up with TerraCycleWalkers is to launch a new recycling scheme for crisps packets, developed in partnership with the recycling company TerraCycle. Crisp packets are technically recyclable, the issue until now has been that they weren’t being separated or collected for recycling. Consumers will be encouraged to either drop off their packets at one of the hundreds of public access collection points that will be developed across the country or alternatively post them for free in a box or envelope directly to TerraCycle for recycling. The packets will be cleaned, shredded and turned into small plastic pellets which will then be converted into plastic items such as benches and fence posts.

Tesco urges consistent approach to recyclingTesco has urged the government to

introduce a “consistent nationwide approach to recycling” as it trials in–store recycling and reusable packaging initiatives. Reverse vending machines will be installed in stores across the company and will pay shoppers 10p for every plastic bottle returned. Consumers will be able to reuse multi-use plastic containers to buy meat, cheese or fish from deli and fish counters in UK stores. Products will be weighed and wrapped in paper before being placed into the customer’s container. Tesco Chief Executive Jason Tarry said: “We are already committed to eliminating single use plastic wherever we can and make recycling simpler for customers. However, we know that it’s going to take retailers, manufacturers and the government to work together to make progress.”

Lidl removes non-recyclable black plasticLidl announces it’s removing black plastic packaging from its entire range across all 195 Ireland and Northern Ireland stores by Christmas. The packaging will be scrapped from fresh fish products by February 2019, followed by fresh meat, poultry and cured meat ranges before August. Black plastic packaging is not currently recycled in Ireland or the UK because recycling sorting systems cannot detect the carbon black pigment. As a result of this move by Lidl, over 65 tonnes of black plastic waste will be avoided annually from fruit and vegetables alone.

Blow molded container market to surpass $185 billion in 2018The broader trends impacting the packaging industry are influencing the dynamics in the blow molded containers market. Global demand for blow molded containers is likely to reach nearly 33,000 kilo tons by 2018, equalling a market value of over $185 billion. These insights flowed from a market research study by Fact.MR. Demand for blow molded containers continues to be influenced by their resistance to abrasion and high recyclability. Growing popularity of single-serve beverages and convenience foods is also likely to create sustained opportunities for blow molded containers. The blow molded PET containers continue to be the top-selling product type in the market.

January 2019Morrisons trials paper bagsMorrisons announces it’s going to adopt American style paper bags and charge consumers 20p per unit. The move will initially be trialled at eight of its stores. To encourage customers to buy the paper bags, Morrisons has increased its cheapest standard plastic bag price to 15p. Andy Atkinson, Morrisons’ Group Customer and Marketing Director, said: “These new paper bags do

exactly the same job as standard plastic carrier bags. They are tough, reusable and can help keep a large amount of plastic out of the environment.”

First 100 percent recycled ocean plastic bottleSC Johnson has announced it will launch the industry’s first bottle made of 100 percent recycled plastic from the ocean, for Windex. The product, Windex Vinegar Ocean Plastic bottles, will be available from North American retail giants such as Walmart and Target. With 8 million units hitting shelves this spring it is an historic milestone for the industry, tackling both packaging and pollution. The plastic has been sourced from Plastic Banks across the globe such

as Haiti, Philippines and Indonesia. Not only will the packaging have a positive impact on the environment – removing plastic from the ocean and being made of recycled plastic itself – it will also benefit contributing communities, most of which live below the poverty line.

SIG launches paper strawSIG has created a paper straw to replace the plastic version on aseptic cartons. The packaging giant has worked closely with its partners to design a product that is strong enough to pierce the closed straw film on the cartons. The plastic wrapper for the straw has also been redesigned to remain attached to the carton, so it is recycled along with the juice box. Nestle are the first company to trial the straw in the Dominique Republic, while SIG continues to

investigate other products on which plastic straws can be replaced with paper ones.

March 2019Record-breaking year for Packaging Innovations 2019 Almost 7000 visitors attended the annual Packaging Innovations show at Birmingham’s NEC. With renowned speakers, 300 industry suppliers and talks led by industry giants such as Coca-Cola, Iceland and Marks & Spencer, it was another successful year. The headline seminar was the Big Plastic Debate. Barry Turner, Director at the British Plastic Federation, said: “The real issue is how we behave with plastic. Consistent collection and an aided circular economy will ensure that we are using this resource responsibly. We have to cherish plastic and put it back to work.” Conversely, Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet, said: “91 percent of plastic ever made has never been recycled. All the noise and concern over recycling has made no difference to the acceleration of plastic production. When our children have children, they will be dealing with triple the amount of plastic on the planet. Something needs to change.”

4.3 billion litres of bottled water soldSales of bottled water skyrocketed by 7.9 percent after the heatwave in 2018, to 4.3 billion litres, generating retail sales of approximately £3.3 billion. With the warmest summer on record in 2018, the figures aren’t surprising, but it has placed pressure on producers to improve their environmental profile. Zenith Global’s report outlines that manufacturers will have to address recycling and deposit return schemes if, as they predict, sales continue to increase by between 3-5 percent a year.

Industry InsightsThe year ahead signals a major crossroads for our industry. Society is looking for us to create, develop and implement a circular economy for all types of packaging. It’s a long-term strategy that is now well underway: we are perpetually evolving through new laws and tighter legislation designed to improve resource efficiency and minimise waste. As the industry experts in the following section demonstrate, we are on the right path - but there’s so much more to be done. Leaders in their respective fields, they share here their insights on the progress achieved these past 12 months – and the advancements required to stay on track.

The annual Yearbook seems to be an appropriate place to ask; who will be your flexible supplier five years from now? Will it be an Australian, American, Austrian, Spanish, South African or Indian company? At the present rate of mergers and acquisition activity, it’s very unlikely it will be a UK company. Does this really matter? I suggest it matters a great deal, for as these overseas monoliths acquire a greater share of the UK flexibles market, the landscape changes forever;Firstly, they consolidate production - closing sites in the process. As a consequence, they reduce the levels of supplier choice for customers. They then proceed to optimise production efficiency at the expense of sales and service. For those who consider I may be overstating the case, do you remember packaging companies

With over 25 years’ experience in the packaging industry, Barry Twigg is Chairman of Bradford based National Flexible. Since he took over in 1998, the company has re-focused on the conversion and sale of flexible films, supported by a strong technical bias and supplier partnerships in all types of flexible film printing, laminating and coating. It is now the UK’s largest plain film slitting and printed film distributor.

Flexibles The consolidation trend By Barry TwiggChairman, National Flexibles

BARRY TWIGG


FLEXIBLES

such as Alcan, Arrow, Arteb, ASP, Bridge, Brittons, Cannings, Contemporary, Crest, Cropac, Danisco, EBR, EPL, Excelsior, Falcon, Flexible Vision, Flexiprint and Grahams? How about Lawson Marden, Learoyd, Malpack, Orion Flexo, PP Global, Paragon, Primopost, QC, Roloflex, Romney, Scandiflex, Tullis Neal, Venus, Wheatley and others. Virtually all these companies have either closed or more usually been acquired by multinational packaging organisations from overseas. In some cases, the original sites may still operate within their parent groups’ corporate framework. However, not only has there been a marked reduction in the customer’s choice of supplier, but also a series of plant closures as rationalisation and plant optimisation became the priority for their new owners. The Amcor acquisition of Bemis and the Berry Global acquisition of RPC suggests this trend will continue. Remarkably, this transformation of the flexible packaging supply chain has virtually all happened since Amcor acquired Alcan’s packaging business in 2010. From

that point onwards it seems the rest of the world’s top flexible groups decided the UK was the place to be and entered the market. Interestingly, prior to the Alcan acquisition, only Pulse, which was then Printpack (USA), had sales above £40 million in the UK. The demise of Pulse took out another major player, whilst Excelsior and Paragon were the next largest, both of which have since been acquired.There are practically half a dozen large companies left, the majority of which remain family owned. The question, is how long can this ‘consolidation’ continue without totally distorting the market for flexibles? For the large end users of flexibles there’s still lots of choice, as they have the buying power and in some cases the geographic spread to benefit from cross border negotiations. However, for those companies spending say £15/20k to £100/150k on a range of products requiring shorter runs and fast turnaround times, the trend to consolidation of investment on larger sites to maximise production efficiencies, is not a great idea. Whilst quality

is without doubt our industry’s prime consideration - whoever the supplier, we believe the key criteria for keeping contented customers is flexibility in delivery and service. In essence, giving the customer what they want when they want it, without having to build up internal stocks or worry about ‘supply lead times’.Organising the supply chain to minimise the cost and optimise manufacturing efficiencies is, in my opinion, counterproductive to the average food manufacturer, as it requires long print runs and minimal colour changes. Over the long term, the loss of so many independent printer converters cannot be good for the industry. However, there’s no doubt it will continue, as the financial cost of starting up a film printing business and/or investing in the latest print technology is a barrier to entry and is simply too high to encourage new entrants at current print margins. Indeed for some, prices will need to continue to increase, simply to enable them to invest and survive.

As a nation, we’ve never been more ready to embrace recycling. If only we knew how.According to research from the Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association (MPMA), almost 70 percent of consumers believe retailers aren’t doing enough to present the recycling attributes of the products they sell.

The vast majority, 83 percent, say retailers should make it clearer whether packaging can actually be recycled or not. This confusion must be addressed as the DEFRA Resources and Waste Strategy moves forward, because communication and working together needs to be at the heart of any plans if it’s to succeed. For a resource collection service to be

sustainable it must meet three criteria; collectability, sortability and commerciality. How these three factors work together explains the current level of recycling and waste management in the world: Less than 10 percent of plastic is recycled - compared to ninety percent of steel. Resource management companies like ours are on the frontline of recycling and reprocessing. We can categorically say the single most important way in which people can help us to increase recycling rates and reduce waste - and help apply those levers, is to ensure materials are clean and well segregated when discarded. Food must be removed from other waste streams to improve the quality and commerciality of all recyclate, an agreed aim in the DEFRA Resources and Waste Strategy. This is why on-pack labelling and communication is so crucial - to improve recycling and drive the circular economy. We need speed and clarity of messaging but how can we agree what’s clear and genuine in terms of resource management and waste? And how then do we enforce that messaging? An example of this confusion - and perhaps even mischief-making, exists in the pet food market. A brand of dog food, sold in carton board, advertises itself as offering “80 percent less global warming potential than a can.” This may or may not be true. The point is, it’s barking up the wrong tree. In 2017, sales of pet food in cans decreased by 6.9 percent, while sales of pouches increased by 22.9 percent. More than ten billion plastic-aluminium pouches of food are sold annually. Of every ten billion food cans sold each year in the UK, 7,260,000 are

recycled. The equivalent figure for pouches: 500,000.Consumers aren’t being given the appropriate information to make an informed decision at any stage in the cycle: not at the point of purchase, at the point of disposal, or in marketing material. So, might an on-pack traffic light recycling scheme work? Such a scheme could include the number of materials the packaging is made from, the overall proportion of packaging material that is recycled and most importantly, if the packaging should be composted, recycled, used for fuel - or written off as waste which, in this context, means it will hereafter be lost to the earth. Compostables also need to be urgently addressed. It’s brilliant that we’ve created compostable alternatives to some very environmentally damaging packaging. However, from a waste collection perspective, compostables should never be mixed with any other waste streams, including either food or

cartonboard - because they contaminate if they appear in any quantity. Compostables therefore need their own specific infrastructure and compost solution, a fact which needs to be clearly conveyed to the general population and manufacturing market as it’s an obvious area for designers to explore. Our industry can cope if the material is disposed of correctly, which again comes back to clear, unequivocal communication of facts on packaging. There’s no getting away from the fact: it’s a minefield. However, if we can successfully adopt a cross-party approach in the months ahead, it will give us a fighting chance of success not just for the good of the UK or Europe, but for the entire earth.

It’s an unfortunate fact but a staggering amount of people across the UK do not take their medicine correctly, costing the NHS around £500 million every year.Imagine, however, if a packet of antibiotics could tell a patient whether it had been opened and which pill had been taken and at what time. Then, imagine if things could be taken a step further and the medication could alert patients when it was time to take the next one, then feed this information back to their doctor as part of a healthcare management system. The pharmaceutical industry isn’t far off this point, and improving patient compliance is just one of many benefits that smart packaging will be able to offer.

PHARMACEUTICAL SMART PACKAGING

Setting a reminderBy implementing a radio-frequency identification (RFID) that communicates with Wi-Fi enabled devices, packaging could remind patients when to take their medication and supply a dosage schedule to help them get the most out of it.This data could then be transmitted to the patient’s GP or pharmacist, enabling them to monitor treatment plans without frequent face-to-face follow ups. The ability to provide patients with the information they require to safely take their medication could decrease unnecessary appointments, providing some breathing space for already overburdened health service practitioners. Data also has the potential to re-define the supply chain. Tapping into digitalisation could allow pharmacists to better track the medication that’s been dispensed, and when it’s time to re-order. This would mean that healthcare facilities are only supplied with medication that’s needed, which would be particularly beneficial in terms of seasonality, such as hay fever or flu medication.

The fight against fraudThere are known problems with drugs being tampered with, swapped for cheaper, less effective alternatives, and subjected to non-compliant storage and handling. Sensors could provide the possibility to mitigate against counterfeit drugs and prevent medication tampering. For instance, by changing colour if medication has been opened or if temperatures suddenly change, sensors on smart packaging can help indicate whether its contents has been spoiled, switched or replaced with an unwanted counterfeit. The Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) came into place in February 2019,

meaning all new packs of prescription medicines in Europe must now include two new safety features: an anti-tampering device and a unique identifier in the form of a barcode. The directive demands that there are unique identifiers (UI) to track medication from manufacture to sales together with tamper proof features to ensure safety of medicines are incorporated into pharmaceutical packaging to help reduce the amount of fraudulent medication that can make it to market. Unique identifiers that must be incorporated include product codes, which allow the identification of criteria including the name of the medicine, the pharmaceutical form, the strength and pack size. Additional UIs include serial numbers, batch numbers, and expiry dates which must be printed on the pack in a 2D code that’s visible to the human eye. Smart packaging with scannable features holds the potential to make this process run smoothly for pharmacists, while ensuring medicine safety.Using smart packaging would also allow pharmaceutical companies to monitor environmental conditions during transit, storage

and delivery including temperature, humidity and damage, to ensure that medicines are still effective and safe for consumption by the time they reach the patient.

The benefits of bespokeFor these innovations to take place, current packaging needs to adapt. Digital additions to packaging seem to be the way forward, but at the same time they can’t simply be placed over important info already featured on a box or label. A bespoke packaging design, for example, would allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to reap the benefits of smart packaging while the medicine’s original information isn’t interfered with. As digital developments become integrated into the market, pharmaceutical packaging will mean more than just boxes and bags. Smart packaging will not only optimise production on a manufacturing level, but with the introduction of sensors and digital add-ons, packaging will also help to ensure that patients get the most out of their medicine.

Did you know that over 80 percent of visual activity in the purchase process is attributed to processing packaging? In fact, the point of purchase could be the first time your consumers see your packaging. This is why there is so much pressure within marketing teams for timely, scalable, quantifiable design data to support the creative process. It is, however, more important than ever that we constantly remind ourselves not to overlook the personal, tactile experience an individual has when they touch the real thing for the first time. In the shopper insight work we do with clients we are constantly reminded of this while watching, listening to and learning from customers as they reach for and interact with new products in

TACTILE PACKAGING

store. We all know the pack is a fundamental storyteller that must signal what’s important to say about a brand, but the ‘right’ pack will also teach us what to feel about a brand or product. In our ever more competitive world it’s critically important to recognise pack design needs to consider more than structure, font, size, symmetry and originality. Humans are highly tactile creatures. We use touch to build our relationships and adjust our perceptions of the world around us. In fact, touch is often a sensory shortcut to decision-making. It allows us to quickly evaluate an item and build that all important 3D connection with it – even with products you may not consider as tactile at all. In a recent project, we witnessed DIY paint shoppers routinely stroking the colour chips they were most drawn to – not because they wanted to feel the texture of the paint but because this textural proximity brought them emotionally closer to the colour in question. And the muesli lovers amongst us will know that a reassuringly expensive muesli needs to be reassuringly heavy to pick up - confirming it’s generously packed full of nuts, seeds and dried fruits. Increasingly we see tactile branding as a combination of marketing, psychology and cognitive neuro-science which helps brands put touch at the heart of their strategy. There’s even a term for it: ‘affective ventriloquism’ which simply means that a good tactile pack experience may in fact bias us to over-estimate the quality and desirable values of its contents. For example, cookies may taste crunchier when taken from a rough bowl than a smooth bowl and coffee may taste more intense from an angular cup versus a more rounded shape. This isn’t to

say that more top of mind factors such as flavour, price points and pack size aren’t influential, but perhaps a product that feels great has the power to improve all the perceived product features – and makes us feel better about parting with our hard-earned cash too? What’s more, thinking about packs through a more tactile lens can help break packaging paradigms. Admittedly, Nike is never short on new ideas, but their secondary packaging for Nike Air is so simple yet embraces everything about the shoe’s promise, experience and technology into one eye-catching visual and tactile moment. But what about online shopping? How do you consider touch and texture when your medium is pixels not pallets? Part of the answer lies in looking at the wider pathway to purchase. Now, we’re not advocates of packaging for packaging’s sake, but there is a very important moment in an online purchase …. that ‘ta-dah’

moment when a product arrives and is opened for the first time. This is the moment of truth when the product is held for the first time for all to marvel at its perfection. Online brands that deliver a deeper connection on arrival through a textural surprise, or unexpected finish or detail, can also deepen the brand relationship going forward. We would argue that the most successful pack innovation programmes incorporate all the senses, and feature ‘touch’ signals early in the development cycle, whether that be weight, texture, material, or form. There is no replacement for good old fashioned in-hand product experience to help (literally) shape the product’s pack as the king of future touchpoints.

With increasing scrutiny on packaging and waste in food production and consumption, it’s important we start providing purposeful solutions to meaningfully tackle food waste. We are a nation of fresh fruit lovers and we love being able to buy our favourite fresh produce all year round. This creates huge challenges for reducing food waste for farmers, importers and supermarkets, so it’s essential we work on ways to keep produce fresh from field to fork. With the latest in sea container developments and technology, we can replace air freight with sea freight. On a mission to reduce unnecessary packaging waste, consumer pressure is forcing businesses to look for alternatives to standardised packaging to

create longer lasting alternatives. Recent years have seen the return of the neighbourhood milkman as the demand for milk in glass bottles increases, with consumers appearing to boycott the plastic alternatives which took over the market in the 1990s. Searches for reusable ‘metal straws’ have skyrocketed by more than 200% on Etsy - as sellers cash in with colourful eco-friendly alternatives. Refill stations are also on the rise with big brands such as Ecover now listing local refill stores on their website.Packaging alternatives are a great way to reduce waste, and help reduce much of the carbon footprint of our consumer goods. However, the fresh produce industry presents other challenges for packaging: sensitive and perishable food now often travels for several weeks before it reaches our shelves.Shipments of blueberries from Chile, for example, can be in transit for 3-4 weeks, and require careful grading once they arrive in the UK to ensure strict quality standards. This inevitably leads to waste. This type of wastage, where fresh produce is graded out or spoilt, is a key cause of food waste. Without a mechanism to control deterioration, much of the fruit & veg we consume will be picked, packed, shipped, stored, merchandised and wasted before we have time to eat it. We must also not forget that wasting food wastes everything…water, labour, time and money. While some companies might argue this is just the cost of doing business, we believe the industry must do more to protect our precious resources. This calls for effective packaging to slow down the ripening process of fresh produce. Currently, existing packaging technology can help extend this shelf life by creating a protective barrier

around the product, stopping it being crushed or bruised and this is sometimes where temperature control can work, a Modified Atmosphere to further extend shelf life. These are the only main options currently available. Fruit and vegetables ripen due to the

natural hormone, ethylene. Once ethylene is released, it stimulates other fresh produce nearby to ripen as well, starting a chain reaction which causes large quantities of fruit and vegetables to prematurely spoil before they can be sold on - hence the


expression, “one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch”. For the past three years, we’ve been working on a new purposeful packaging technology, Infinite™, which absorbs ethylene, thereby protecting the other fruit from spoiling. The key differentiator with Infinite™ is that the active ingredient can be printed onto a retailer’s packaging of choice. This means that as the packaging industry develops and adapts its chosen materials, Infinite™ can easily be added to other substrates like carton, paper, board and many other plastic substitutes - we do not rely on plastic packaging as the only delivery method – the technology is flexible enough to deliver what is required. It will soon appear in

leading supermarkets. The solution is non-invasive and can be used in packs of naked (untreated or uncoated) fruit. In fact, it’s set new industry benchmarks for reducing waste in food production and consumption. It’s improved the freshness of strawberries in France by 50 percent. During blueberry trials in Poland, we found that blueberries stored with the tech over a six week period delivered 40 percent less waste than those without. In Greece, cherries were given three days extra life and the lives of bananas from Australia were boosted by 2-3 days – massively improving freshness and quality on import and increasing their chance of survival during domestic transit

distances. We’re delighted with the trials - and outcomes. The results clearly show how purposeful packaging is an important step in reducing food waste. It’s clear the carbon footprint of Britain’s fresh fruit and veg consumption must be addressed. To do that, we must ensure that far more fresh produce makes it to shelves - and our homes - for us all to enjoy more often.

Demand for corrugated has been experiencing something of a resurgence in recent years but the question is, will it continue?According to a new report - the Strategic European Corrugated Report, compiled by our paper packaging sector research experts at NOA, the demand bubble has been fuelled by two factors.On the one hand, the traditional market of bricks and mortar (B&M) stores has been extremely buoyant for corrugated (if not for retailers). Larger supermarkets, such as Asda and Sainsbury’s, have been fighting back against the tide of the limited list discounters, like Aldi and Lidl. For both ends of this B&M market, corrugated provides an ideal way to display

and promote products. At the same time, it will come as no surprise that ecommerce has had an effect, since some 20 percent of shopping is now done online. So there’s high demand for ‘white’ corrugated from B&M stores, while ecommerce favours ‘brown’ for delivery packaging. A win-win situation for corrugated demand, which has been buoyant for the last two to three years.However, our research suggests this is not set to continue – are we seeing corrugated’s swansong?Our Strategic European Corrugated Report is based on extensive research and interviews with key brand owners and retailers, analysing each retail channel and looking at 40 sub markets, among them a high proportion of FMCGs, such as chilled ready meals, confectionary and drinks.Our prediction is that while corrugated production will continue growing well for the next five years at more than 2.6 percent per annum, it is likely to start reducing to around 1.3 percent for the following five years to 2028 (with as much as 1 percent of this growth down to modest single use plastic substitution).This reduction in demand, we predict, will be due to market share being lost by the big B&M stores to ecommerce. At the same time, and in response to consumer pressure, right-sizing of packaging, pack rationalisation and packaging waste reduction will impact on demand for corrugated.In other words, our research shows that corrugated growth will flatten off and corrugated converters, with their 24-7 operations and fast turnaround times, may need to scale back production unless they take steps to move into new markets. Not a

swansong then, but a likely dip that will need addressing.Corrugated as an alternative to single-use plastic (SUP) has seen some success, for example corrugated discs for chilled pizzas. However, opportunities for corrugated to substitute SUP will only happen if corrugated can overcome the significant technical hurdles to truly challenge plastics. The technology isn’t there yet for the widespread substitution of SUP for corrugated. For example, in the case of ready meals current SUP is flexible, hygienic and light and there is no obvious corrugated alternative to the plastic tray that doesn’t require some form of plastic liner. Even when a viable corrugated alternative can be found, corrugated converters can’t switch overnight. Investment is required, and the investment cycle is at least two to three years.But there are opportunities out there, and brand owners should

know that corrugated converters are eager to collaborate and find solutions. We’ve analysed the FMCG market past and present, we have confident future predictions, and we’ve looked at the specific opportunities in the SUP market too. The pizza bases was one – there are more to be had and we know what they are. The savvy corrugated converters, who concentrate their resources, will certainly find them.

As the modern logistics world comes under pressure to deliver more, faster, it’s important for warehouse and logistics managers to leverage any opportunity to streamline efficiencies and improve the customer experience. Not to be overlooked, bespoke packaging has a major role to play – whether it’s a design specifically created to be ‘returns ready’ or offers superb durability. The seismic shift towards e-commerce continues to gather pace and from a consumer perspective, our expectations have changed. The shopping culture for Brits today is all about ease and wanting our purchase delivered the instant we’ve clicked “buy now.” We want the correct item to arrive as ordered, usually at the most attractive price, and we want it to be delivered in

BESPOKE PACKAGING

perfect condition. Anything less and brand loyalty is in jeopardy, if not in tatters as we’ll just as easily purchase from an online competitor next time. It’s therefore imperative for businesses to seek out the right supply partners who can work collaboratively to help them optimise and streamline their packaging operations, all without demeaning their brand. And it’s here that bespoke packaging has a major role to play. For me, there are three levels of bespoke packaging which deliver increasing degrees of customer experience via the package’s creative design and branding:-

• Your basic brown box which carries some kind of printed reference or company name/logo and is fit-for-purpose

• A branded package using digital or litho print, for added visual impact

• A package with wow factor, cleverly designed to fit and display the product, opening and closing in a unique way

Each level of bespoke packaging carries a good deal of aesthetic appeal for the customer when compared to a generic box. And with the right design, they can be utilised within the warehouse more efficiently than standard, off-the-shelf items. One might think that anything that is bespoke carries a higher price tag and businesses may be reluctant to move to bespoke packaging for this very reason. For us, armed with a deep understanding of packaging’s power, it is a no-brainer to switch to a more streamlined system which enables more goods out the door per hour and a better cost base. But for those immersed in the daily grind, perhaps blinkered by the way things have always been, we regularly experience resistance

to adopting new methods and materials. I’ve seen many an example of ‘logistics suicide’; businesses clutching on to manual processes, duplication of effort around picking and packing, a lack of care and attention at the point of goods-in, or an excessive headcount – all to the detriment of their bottom line, just because that’s the way it’s always been. For me personally, I think the challenge is to create bespoke packaging that is multi-purpose, i.e. it can be re-used within the home. Apple has dominated here. Show me someone who puts their Apple packaging in the recycling. It doesn’t happen; because the packaging plays a pivotal role in the customer’s user experience. Another example is My 1st Years. They send each personalised baby item out in a luxury gift box which I know people have repurposed as toy boxes or

memory chests, depending on the size.Businesses who adopt this level of bespoke packaging, in tandem with stringently reviewing their picking, packing and returns process, will experience a wealth of benefits: they allow for a greater throughput; they reduce overheads; they are greener; they generate less rubbish for the customer to dispose of; they create that all-important brand touchpoint within the home; and, hopefully, they win brand loyalty and repeat purchases. What can be more valuable than that?

Environmental sustainability and business don’t always go hand in hand, especially when it comes to food product packaging. In the past, packaging developments were focused on getting consumer attention whereas today the growing influence of integrity seeking consumers is a major factor for food providers during the packaging decision making process. While packaging is an indispensable element for the food industry, demand has grown over time for eco-friendlier alternatives. Today, you can find a myriad of sustainable packaging materials on the market, often with conflicting claims. So how can we be sustainable, reinforce our

SUSTAINABLE FOOD PACKAGING

brand values and have that recognised by a consumer, who is constantly bombarded by contradictory messages?Sustainability cannot easily be communicated to consumers. Certification schemes can help, but consumers look well beyond the print and packaging to brand behaviour and their supply chains. Sustainable food packaging is extremely complex and attempting to woo environmentally-minded consumers can be a double-edged sword. To fully comprehend sustainability, you need professional expertise. While many big brands have departments dedicated to the field, many don’t. This is why any food packaging supplier worth their salt should be supporting their customers with the facts.The ‘recyclable or compostable?’ question is one which is frequently asked by food service operators. Recent advice from the FPA to remove the use of misused terms such as

biodegradable helps to make things clear for the industry, but it may not find its way to the consumer. Who of us saw biodegradable as an invitation to litter for excuse hungry consumers? While recyclability and composting have their own environmental merits, it is important to set these in the context of how and where they are going to be used and packaging disposed of. The solution begins with the end in mind. Equally, we need to remember that packaging drives the revenues which pay for more environmentally sustainable packs. With over a third of customers gauging the freshness of a product from its appearance, packaging, particularly in the ‘food to go’ arena has visibility as a key factor for the choice of solution. However, that’s difficult to achieve within a plastic free agenda. A paperboard base and cellulose based film is the ideal combination to give customers

the fresh visibility they crave whilst providing space for the all-important messaging and branding. Perhaps as importantly, it also means there’s more chance of the pack being properly disposed of. This combination can be recycled with board or it can be industrially composted – if the local waste and infrastructure provision allows. With so much of the sustainability agenda demanding much of consumers, building in simplicity will help. Let’s hope that’s reflected in the new legislation.While consumer tastes will always evolve, sustainable packaging is here to stay. But relying on a good food packaging supplier, who has the most up-to-date sustainable materials and information at their fingertips, will enable food producers and manufacturers to stay in step with the pace of change.

There are trillions of packaged products circulating in the world today. These packages surround us in our everyday lives: they’re on our kitchen tables, our desks at work, they’re inside our bags. Until now, however, they’ve sat there silently. With AR and the power of the smartphone, brands can unlock their own media and turn their products into interactive digital media portals - and use this to drive sales, loyalty and collect data. Consumers now spend, on average, over five hours on their smartphones daily. Research shows that increasingly, they’re expecting an extra layer of digital content to help them learn more about a product and engage with the brands they love. There is also a rise in tech giants, such as Amazon, Facebook, Snap and

AUGMENTED REALITY

Google teaching us to recognise codes and scan the world around us. Both consumer expectation and a push from tech giants to scan is resulting in a growing consumer appetite for extra information and content. One of the biggest drivers for connected pack is that brands actually know very little about the end consumer and historically, have only been able to talk to them via expensive paid for adverts on TV, radio, online etc. Now with the connected pack, the game has changed and brands have a direct communication channel to people holding their products - and you can’t get more targeted than that. We’re moving towards a world where everything is “smart” – internet-connected, trackable and linked to everything else. Within the packaging industry, a simple AR code (which can be printed at scale and at speed) is helping brands to harness a whole range of benefits. We’ve seen an uprising in brand provenance – companies telling their story, via apps, and earning consumer trust through transparency, whether that be the origins of their ingredients or their environmental footprint. Then there’s recycling - teaching and inspiring users how and where to recycle. AR is also driving consumption through recipes, how to tutorials and advice. It’s driving social by encouraging users to share positive experiences. It’s revolutionised cross-selling - promoting other products in a particular range. It’s also creating and empowering communities of customers with shared interests and passions. In our 2018 report, Layered, in partnership with Mindshare UK, we created a neuroscience experiment that monitored subconscious brain responses to different media (print, online, traditional app and AR). The incredible results

showed attention, engagement, emotional intensity and memory encoding were significantly higher when using AR. This supports what we see on a daily basis when this technology helps brands to educate and influence behavioural change of their current customers. Nestle, PEZ, PepsiCo, Fanta, Bacardi, Kellogg’s are all using these platforms to connect and engage with their customers to deepen interaction and add an emotional experience to consumption which was not

previously possible. From an implementation point of view, it’s an easy and cost effective solution to adopt at scale. All the tech lives in the user’s device so there’s no need for expensive electronics to be embedded into the packaging fabric, which is also good news for recycling.

We have just witnessed a truly exceptional year for the aerosol industry: 1.566 billion cans were filled in 2018, increasing the record-breaking production of 2017. It’s an outstanding result, especially when placed in the context of challenging market conditions, including one of the most difficult festive trading periods for retailers, in the last decade. Aerosols continue to provide a convenient solution for billions of consumers’ daily routines, and it comes as no surprise that the personal care sector continues to account for the largest volume of products, with anti-perspirants still the biggest seller in this sector, and across the industry overall. The filling figures show that 478m anti-perspirants were manufactured in 2018,

AEROSOLS

increasing the 2017 production by 8 million units, but we have seen impressive growth in a number of sectors, including medical and household. Industrial, technical and veterinary products also saw significant growth, together with more niche household products, such as shoe care products and oven cleaners. The global aerosol market is predicted to experience continuing growth over the coming years, and ongoing innovation in the industry will be a driving force behind this. The latest developments are showcased at our annual Innovation Day, held in April, which attracts some of the best minds, influential thinkers and innovative manufacturers in the aerosol industry. The 2019 event saw a wide range of speakers from a host of international companies: the presentations included new aerosol filling systems, on-line inspection equipment, labelling, 3D and digital printing, valve and spray technology and more. Thanks to previous innovations, we now see air used as a propellant, products compressed into cans half the size that last just as long, and packaging that is thinner and lighter. As we move ever closer to a circular economy, the environmental benefits of aerosols as a packaging format are not only more widely recognised, but highly valued by both manufacturers and consumers. Most aerosol containers are made from steel or aluminium, permanent materials, which means they can be recycled over and over again with minimal loss of quality. Their inherent properties do not change regardless of how many times they have been recycled. Beside ease of recycling, the aerosol format can facilitate reduction of both packaging and product waste. There have been many examples, in recent years, of products marketed in a compressed format,

particularly deodorants, putting the same amount into a smaller container which lasts just as long, but reduces the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and transportation. In terms of product waste, aerosol dispensers control particle size, spray pattern, volume dispensed and concentration of spray. This helps in minimising product waste, and it can even deliver precise single doses. This is particularly important in medical products such as traditional aerosol inhalers, and the strong increase in production of veterinary spray products could be due to such benefits. There has also been rapid growth in spray versions of many consumer healthcare products such as antifungal, pain relief and antiseptic sprays as well as spray-on plasters. But the application of aerosols in the healthcare sector is not restricted

to topical medicines; ocular applications, proctofoams and oral foams/sprays are also increasing in popularity. Despite market challenges and an increasingly uncertain political landscape, technological innovations are enabling this versatile packaging format to be applied to an increasingly diverse range of products and applications. Whatever changes are ahead, there is no doubt the aerosol sector will continue to play a significant role in UK and global manufacturing.

At no stage in the last two decades has the issue of sustainability in packaging been so prevalent in either the public or political arena. Businesses from all sectors have set ambitious but vitally important targets to cut waste, and steel packaging is poised to play a key role in cutting both packaging and food waste, helping brands to achieve their sustainability objectives. Additionally, as a tried and tested means of preservation, steel packaging also provides consumers with the confidence that choosing products packaged in steel is a safe and environmentally positive choice. During my term as APEAL President, we’ll see the implementation of the EU’s Circular Economy Package, and

Tony Waite is the new President of APEAL, the Association of European Producers of Steel for Packaging. He’s been Sales Director for Tata Steel Europe’s Packaging sector since January 2015 and is celebrating his 20th year in the company. He has held a number of commercial roles within the organisation looking after Original Equipment Manufacturers from Industrial Packaging, Radiators, Domestic Appliances and Automotive tiers. Tony was elected unanimously as new APEAL President by its Board and General Assembly and he’ll serve a biennial term.

Steel Strong, versatile, sustainable By Tony WaitePresident, APEAL

STEEL

no material meets the demands of a circular economy as effectively as steel. It’s the most recycled material in the world and the latest recycling rate for steel packaging in Europe is 79.5 percent. This is in part thanks to magnetic properties which make it easy and economical to separate and recover from any waste stream. More importantly though, steel is a permanent material – its inherent chemical and physical properties do not change, regardless of how many times it’s recycled, so it does not deteriorate in quality. In fact, steel produced as far back as 150 years can still be used today in the manufacture of new products - a bridge, car or even another can.Not only is steel scrap essential in the production of new steel - which ensures a ready market for all scrap collected - but by using secondary steel rather than raw materials, the steel industry can reduce its energy consumption by up to 70 percent.

For these reasons APEAL continues to focus on increasing consumer awareness of the importance of recycling, as well as sharing good practices from across Europe on effective collection, quality sorting and real recycling.As well as steel’s ability to be endlessly recycled, it is also a valuable tool in the fight against food waste. An estimated 88 million tonnes of food is wasted every year in the EU, yet the need to preserve food will become more important than ever in the next decade.Steel’s strength and 100 percent barrier against light, water and air make it one of the best ways to ensure food is preserved rather than disposed of. The portion-sized packaging of steel cans also allows consumers to buy in more precise quantities, minimising waste by consumers for not only food, but other products too.Steel cans are the perfect choice for beverage containers; they’re easy to cool, keep contents fresh, reducing waste and preventing

breakages when on the go. Because steel is strong it’s also increasingly in demand for the packaging of household items, such as paint cans and aerosols as well as a wide range of speciality and even luxury tins. Indeed, steel is a formable and incredibly versatile material, for which a wealth of innovative printing, finishing and shaping techniques have been developed. As such, steel gives brands endless possibilities for on-shelf impact without sacrificing sustainability concerns. In all its forms steel packaging is well positioned to help us move from a linear to a more circular economy. One where we rely less on materials such as plastics and cartons that downcycle to become waste, and more on permanent materials that can be kept in the loop as the valuable assets they are.

Sustainability is of the upmost importance to ACTEGA DS. It’s at the forefront of everything they do and consistently drives the development of standout new products and processes such as the PVC-free P/T sealing material PROVALIN®.

PROVALIN® is a sealing material for glass jars. It’s a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which doesn’t require any plasticisers and therefore displays extremely low-migration characteristics. Long-term tests have shown that PROVALIN® is safe and complies with new EU and FDA regulations.The product has been recognised as a game-changer in the highly-sensitive area of baby food, winning the Canmaker Gold Award for the PVC-free Press-on Twist-off®/P/T seal for baby food.For PROVALIN®, the sky is now the limit. This key innovation dispenses entirely with PVC and all plasticisers classified as either harmful

or insufficiently tested. Unlike PVC, which can contain up to 45 percent fat-soluble plasticisers capable of migration on contact – especially with fatty foods – this seal solution is based on thermoplastic elastomers and has extremely low-migration properties. It means there is no negative impact on food whatsoever. Food manufacturers, retailers and consumers who have long been on the lookout for PVC-free and sustainable alternatives can now rely on extensive expertise in the development of PVC-free solutions for metal seals, alongside food in glass jars. PROVALIN® was developed, as a concept, some ten years ago. Since then, it has been tested, refined and gradually made ready for the market, beginning in 2010. Due to corresponding EU regulations (including EU 10/2011 and PIM), merchandiser demand for solutions without PVC and plasticizers - and consumer demand for sustainable packaging materials, the PROVALIN® family has since grown to include several variants tailored to

specific contents and thermal curing. With more than one billion twist-off lids per year in the European market, there is no alternative to this PVC-free solution. With PROVALIN® 1771 and 1741, the gap is now closed for the highly-sensitive area of baby food. The sealing solutions can be used for all contents that are heat-treated, particularly sensitive contents.Extensive tests, covering processing, storage, vacuum retention, opening properties and migration, have all returned outstanding results. With this P/T seal solution, ACTEGA DS is now able to offer all companies who are fully focused on consumers - in this case, the welfare of young children in particular - a legally-conformant and convincing alternative.

Ishida’s IX-GN 4043 x-ray inspection system delivers the highest levels of sensitivity and accuracy to meet the stringent quality standards of leading fresh prepared potato processor Swancote Foods.

The firm is part of the Produce Investments group and a sister company to Greenvale AP, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of fresh potatoes. Swancote Foods is a specialist business that converts fresh potatoes into high quality prepared potato ingredients for other food manufacturing companies. The Ishida IX-GN has been installed for its versatility and ability to spot the smallest contaminants as well as build-up of scale that occurs during the cooking process itself. The x-ray system incorporates Ishida’s unique Genetic Algorithm (GA) technology that enables the machine to be trained to more easily detect specific contaminants. In addition, the IX-GN is able to handle different sizes of diced potato including potatoes with skins on, with individual detection parameters pre-programmed into the machine for easy changeovers. While it is primarily used to monitor diced potatoes, the machine is also capable of handling alternative sizes if required.Prior to the installation of the Ishida IX-GN, Swancote Foods had used a metal detector for its quality inspection procedures, but this new installation provides a further enhanced level of food safety.“Spotting small foreign bodies in bulk continuous product is very difficult for metal detectors,” said Swancote Foods’ Engineering Manager Andrew Baxter.“The Ishida IX-GN is one of the few x-ray models capable of consistently meeting our

requirements and we have been very impressed with its performance, as well as the support we have received from Ishida.”Another important benefit of the Ishida x-ray system is its robust washdown design and easy-to-remove conveyor, which enables the machine to cope with the regular daily cleaning that is part of Swancote Foods’ rigorous hygiene regime. The IX-GN is in operation 16 hours a day, five days per week, handling up to four tonnes of product per hour.In order to incorporate the x-ray and new linear weigher into the existing high care area of the factory, Swancote Foods created a raised platform on which the machines sit. Despite the challenges, installation took place successfully over a weekend with Ishida engineers on site to commission the IX-GN. Ishida also provided full training for operators.“The Ishida x-ray is an incredibly advanced machine and a really good piece of kit,” said Andrew

Baxter. “It has given us a level of inspection sensitivity that could not be achieved with a metal detector. This demonstrates to our customers our commitment to quality and how we will not compromise on product safety, and we believe we are the only diced potato supplier in the country with this high degree of product inspection.”

Advanced quality x-rayWhen one of the UK’s leading suppliers of fresh potatoes decided to enhance its quality inspection procedures, it turned to Ishida. The results have been outstanding

After a couple of years of exceptional growth, 2018 should have been a year to consolidate on their success. However that was not to be. One of their biggest achievements this year must be the Queen’s Award for Innovation that was awarded to the Sheffield Branch in honour of the Samson Nano.

Andrew Grant and Julia Allen were invited to Buckingham Palace to a reception hosted by HRH Prince Charles, and in October they welcomed the Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, Rt Hon. Andrew Coombe, to the official presentation held in Sheffield. They were joined by local representatives including the Sheffield MP and the local Chamber of Commerce, as well as friends, family, clients, suppliers, and staff. The award has fueled an increased interest in the Samson Nano, for which business has continued to grow.In November Andrew and Matthew Grant headed to Germany to sign along the dotted line and join Packsynergy, a collaborative network of likeminded innovative European

packaging experts. This is a huge move for Samuel Grant, as it mitigates against potential Brexit pitfalls, as well as broadens the distribution channels for the Group across Europe. The company look forward to swapping best practice with their European counterparts and being the UK arm of Packsynergy.Earlier in the year Samuel Grant were delighted to include EPD into the Group, increasing their headcount by six, and incorporating £2 million worth of sales into their current trading area. Both customers of EPD and Paul Sykes and his team have settled in nicely. They maintained their ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditations, and improved their rating of BRC storage and distribution at both Sheffield and the North East to double AA.Andrew Grant, Joint Managing Director, said: “In the packaging world 2018 will go down as the year of Planet Earth 2 and the great plastics debate. This adds extra complexity to our role as packaging merchants as environmental impact must be considered on top of price and performance. As merchants we are best positioned to advise on all products

because we can source our materials from any technology of manufacture. Paper and compostable must be considered but sometimes plastic remains the most environmentally friendly product. We must not let the fight against plastic pollution negate the bigger fight against co2 emissions. With the environment in mind we are constantly developing new product ranges, and 2018 saw us launch the AirShield range, to challenge the use of expanded polystyrene. The incredible depth of knowledge and skills across all our businesses means that we are ready for anything 2019 can throw at us. We are the best people in packaging providing the best packaging experience for our customers in the UK.”

COMPANY PROFILE

Driven by the need to improve efficiency, add value and remain competitive, a growing number of companies are embracing end-of-line automation.

For those packaging liquid products, it can be difficult to single-source and integrate the right equipment - but West Yorkshire’s Karmelle Ltd offers a solution. Suitable for a range of sectors, its turnkey filling, capping and labelling systems are designed to bridge the gap between raw product and bottled, market ready goods.Established in 1985, Karmelle quickly gained a reputation for high-quality liquid filling equipment. When industry experts Brian Dickinson and Peter Krawczuk took to the helm in 2002, the company expanded its range to include capping machines and automatic labellers – all of which are designed and built in its well-equipped Huddersfield workshop. This UK-manufacturing base sets Karmelle apart from the competition, enabling it to produce spare parts onsite, respond to service requests quickly, and keep machine down-time to a minimum. Managing Director Peter Krawczuk said: “We pride ourselves on our customer service, overseeing projects from concept to completion, and providing maintenance packages and dedicated aftercare.”Karmelle’s engineers work closely with clients from the chemical, cosmetics, personal care, oil, pharmaceutical and food and drink industries, designing equipment to suit their unique production needs. Companies can choose from a standard product range that includes entry-level Bench Top filling machines, semi-automatic and automatic fillers, cappers and

state-of-the-art labellers - as well as high-speed, multi-head rotary filling and capping machines, ideal for larger operations. For those looking to scale-up production or fully automate their processes, there’s a turnkey solution. Karmelle specialises in complete bottling lines, comprising integrated filling, capping and labelling equipment. Each machine is selected from the Karmelle range, and manufactured in its workshop - eliminating the need to involve multiple suppliers. And, if a client approaches the team with specialist requirements, they will develop the right equipment - whether it’s a labelling system designed to ensure that stickers on a bespoke bottle are perfectly aligned, a capper capable of handling ‘T’ Corks, or an Atex-rated filling line, suitable for flammable products. If space is at a premium, meanwhile, the Karmelle ‘Mini Monoblock’ offers a compact solution. This system’s uniquely small footprint and integrated

volumetric filler, capper and labeller make it ideal for smaller production spaces. Now capable of handling a range of different bottles and caps, it is particularly well-suited to pharmaceuticals and spirits. Indeed, whether you are looking to improve accuracy, increase efficiency or make much-needed cost savings, automating your packaging process could make all the difference.

There are two key facets to DMD (2000) Ltd’s operational success that have been integral to the company’s development: Commitment to continuous product range improvement and focus on customer service.

This approach is clearly evident with the launch of a number of new products which have strengthened DMD’s position as a leading manufacturer and supplier of thermoformed products within the UK, Ireland and beyond.Managing Director Fred McKechnie said: “We have a comprehensive range of trays to attract and satisfy the needs of our current and new customers. However we are constantly looking at ways to add to the portfolio of products currently available through speaking to customers and reacting to their needs and requirements.”Fred said DMD (2000) Ltd continually explores the market for development ideas and responds

positively. “We currently have over 200 different trays available for the bakery and food manufacturing industry, most of which are available for next day delivery,” he said. “In the current economic climate, this level of availability is increasingly important to our customers, ranging from corner shop bakeries through to multinational organisations. We listen to our customers and look to see how we can develop the products to suit their needs, and this approach gives us an advantage over our competitors.”Fred McKechnie started in the bakery trade in 1973 when he left school to work at Food Ingredients supplier Fleming Howden. In 1989 he was manufacturing for DMD (Thermoforming) Ltd, and in the year 2000 conducted a management buyout and DMD 2000 Ltd was born. Eighteen years later, he continues to develop the business. “We are committed to offering the best service, thus enabling us to enhance our reputation as a leading

BRC/IOP accredited manufacturer of thermoformed plastic trays,” he said. “With 45 years of experience supplying the bakery and food industry, my customers know that they can pick up the phone to us any time they have a query.”‘The company’s BRC certificate is AA certification.

COMPANY PROFILE

Since 1991, PakTech has sought to create packaging solutions manufacturers can get behind - packaging handles that are at once aesthetically pleasing and that have minimal impact on the environment, as well as automated application equipment that is efficient, reliable and easy to use.

After extensive testing, PakTech opted for a product made entirely from rHDPE (or #2) plastic, a material that is universally recyclable and that is itself comprised of 100 percent recycled plastic. rHDPE is the company’s material of choice because it is strong, flexible and easy to use with automated handle application equipment that’s the right choice for the environment.As a result of PakTech’s commitment to sustainability, in

2018 alone, more than 103 million milk jugs were kept out of landfills and repurposed into PakTech handles. The PCR production process is designed to minimise natural resource depletion using 100 percent less petroleum, 90 percent less energy, and emitting 78 percent less greenhouse gas in comparison to the production of virgin plastic. Since 2012, they have repurposed 338 million recycled milk jugs. This has kept 46 million pounds of plastic out of the landfills and oceans and saved 18 acres of land from being used as landfills waste.Second life PakTech handles are also 100 percent recyclable. When PakTech handles are recycled, they often see a third life as composite lumber, flower pots, park benches, new PakTech handles and more!In addition, PakTech offers application solutions. PakTech applicators are highly efficient, cost

effective, and proven to run 24-7. PakTech handles are designed to put the spotlight on the product. With 31 standard colors and custom color match, you’ll find a match that will perfectly complement your product. PakTech handles eliminate the need for secondary packaging and print.From design to final handle application, PakTech’s responsiveness, rapid turn-around time and product offerings add tremendous value and efficiency. In a world in which waste is increasing, the PakTech handle solution is one that matters.

COMPANY PROFILE

Humidity Solutions is the UK’s only independent specialist in humidity control, with access to humidifiers and dehumidifiers from some of the world’s leading manufacturers.

Print and packaging companies invest thousands of pounds in their printing and finishing equipment as well as paper stock - so it makes sense to invest a little more to ensure optimum performance and long life for that equipment - whether it be digital, litho or web.Without some sort of humidity control, machines and paper stock are exposed to uncontrolled environments where climatic conditions may be changing on an hourly basis. Low humidity, for example, can draw moisture from the paper, potentially causing curling, tight edges due to shrinkage and build-up of electrostatic charge.Inevitably, this has a deleterious impact on the print process, reducing machine speeds and increasing the risk of paper jams, or affecting the gluing and sealing of materials. It may also affect the quality of the final product, harming the company’s reputation with customers. Similarly, high humidity will affect the performance of both paper and machines.Stable humidity reduces static and improves the dimensional stability of the paper, thereby avoiding these issues. This requirement is reinforced by press manufacturers, which require effective humidity control to maintain effective performance of their equipment. For instance, all digital print machine manufacturers have an environmental Quality Zone detailed in their operating manual – generally 18 -25°C and 40-60% relative humidity. Within these conditions the machines will give their best performance, but

such conditions will not occur naturally for much of the year.The important thing is that each project requires a solution that is tailored to the particular conditions of the building and the types of machinery being used – which requires specialist knowledge of both humidity control and the challenges faced by printing and packaging companies.Humidity Solutions’ philosophy is that there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. Each project is evaluated against a number of key criteria so that the best solution is identified. The fact that we are independent and not tied to any particular manufacturer means we are able to tailor each project using the best and most appropriate solutions on the market.Humidity Solutions delivers a comprehensive, turnkey service

from initial site survey to assess the environment and calculate loads, design and installation of the system through to ongoing service and maintenance, giving you peace of mind throughout the life of your equipment.

Humidity SolutionsHumidity control can make or break print and packaging companies - which is why each Humidity Solutions project is tailored to each unique set of conditions

While Brexit continues to dominate the political landscape, it’s business as usual for the processing and packaging industry as this year’s PPMA Total Show again bucks the trend to signal new-found prosperity.

Following the success of the 2018 PPMA Show, Total returns to the NEC, Birmingham, on 1-3 October for the second time since the EU referendum in 2016.In the three years since Total last came to fore, PPMA Group of Associations continues to experience an upward trend in the number of events it runs, the training courses it provides, coupled with a 15 per cent increase in membership; and all at a time when economic forecasters were expecting a market slowdown.Now in its thirty-second year, PPMA is still actively helping its members to sell more products and services to ensure that they continue to thrive in an increasingly competitive market place.Over the past three decades, the association has grown exponentially from eight founding companies in 1987, namely: Sussex & Berkshire Machinery Company, Soteco (now IMA UK), Ultrapac, Robert Bosch

(now Bosch Packaging), ACM Machinery, Englemann & Buckham, Jenton International and Rockwell Packaging, to over 560 members and affiliate members to date.Visitors to this year’s Total Show will get the lowdown on the latest trends within the processing and packaging machinery industry and learn more about some of the changes and new concepts within robotics and automation, as well as industrial vision.Such has been the demand for exhibitor space, 90 per cent of the allotted floor space in Hall 5 (largest single hall area) at the NEC has already been secured, meaning that October’s three-day event has already outsold last year’s esteemed PPMA Show.This year’s FREE-to-attend show is expected to house over 400 exhibitors; comprising more than 1,600 brands, from the UK and across Europe. Owned and organised by PPMA, the voice of the processing and packaging industry, Total will again incorporate the major exhibition brands, Pakex and Interphex.As the name suggests, Total is in a league of its own; widely accepted as being the most important and influential industry event in the UK

calendar for key decision-makers and purchasers from the food, beverage, household chemicals, building materials and suppliers, pet care, micro-breweries and distilleries, and pharmaceutical sectors - to name a few. This year’s Total Show will house a combined Enterprise Zone and seminar area, which will again include two prominent keynote speakers. PPMA has also confirmed that British supersonic land vehicle, Bloodhound, will feature at this year’s event, which will help to formulate activities, along with talks on the ergonomics and engineering of the vehicle for guest students on day three at the show.

COMPANY PROFILE

Colour management solutions from GMG include separation technology, extended colour gamut/fixed palette solutions, and the GMG/Epson SC-S80600 prototype/mock-up solution.

GMG’s patented technology, GMG OpenColor, is the only software on the market to provide accurate proof simulations of the overprinting effects of spot colours, through the use of spectral data calculations. By using spectral information (rather than LAB) to create each profile, it takes the mechanics out of profile building, reducing finger printing to save you hours in operator time, and thousands of pounds in printing costs. With GMG OpenColor installed, you can build a reliable proofing profile with as few as 36 CMYK patches, making it possible to print live work at the same time as profiling the press. That data can be used repeatedly, adapted for different substrates, print sequences, dot gains and finishing, so you can predict how artwork will behave on the presses, long before it gets there. This is the closest ‘press simulation’ tool available on the market. GMG OpenColor has a separation module which calculates best match and spot colour reproduction. It has the ability to build multi-channel profiles for use in extended gamut printing and can be utilised directly inside Hybrid Packz to convert artwork into any combination of multi-channel from four colours up to 15 colours. With the ability to import CXF spectral data, OpenColor also gives you many quick wins when connecting to ink formulation systems (IFS). It has the ability to produce digital ink drawdowns, whilst also using the CXF when proofing artwork. This means you are setting the correct expectations for both CMYK and also spot colours at the initial proofing stage. When combining GMG

OpenColor with an Epson SC P-80600, packaging professionals have the ability to output colour accurate and reproducible mock-ups and prototypes. Thanks to reliable calibration and profiling, users can easily create specific media profiles for any media used with the printer, including film, foils and folding carton. Customers can create mock-ups for use cases including flexible packaging, corrugated board, folding carton/beverage cartons, labels and special applications (cups, tubes, cans). Packaging professionals also turn to GMG ColorProof to proof even challenging colour and material combinations. Using GMG’s unique MX device link profile to calibrate inkjet printers, ColorProof ensures that any inkjet

printer, anywhere worldwide with a GMG system, will deliver the colour output you’re expecting. A new feature of GMG ColorProof is the paper feed adjustment, which reduces paper wastage and ensures accuracy across one Epson or a fleet of Epsons. Plus, adding the GMG ProofControl module provides verification that a proof is 100% authentic, for both CMYK and spot colour elements.

GMG ColorFrom senior packaging professionals to the leaders of large publishing houses, they all trust and rely on the innovative, award-winning GMG Color

Customised printing solutions for individual requirements

Medium-sized businesses, organisations and big companies have very particular demands on printing solutions. The right answers are often just around the corner.

Established in 1986 and based in Wiesbaden (Germany), DTM Print today has more than 40 employees who work with more than 150 regional partners and whose services reach way beyond the European boarders.

DTM Print, an abbreviation for Data Technology Management, represented the US company Primera Technology, Inc. under the name Primera Technology Europe in EMEA for many years. Beside its own products, the company works closely with well-known manufacturers to provide the best possible printing solution.

Mainzer Str. 131, 65187 Wiesbaden, GermanyT: +49 611 92777-0 | E: [email protected] | W: dtm-print.eu

“With our passion for custom-made solutions we have firmly established ourselves in the market as a specialist

for niche products in the printing sector,“ explains Andreas Hoffmann, Managing Director Operations at DTM

Print.

“True, we do have a wide variety of printing solutions on offer. This, however, does not mean that we give our

clients only ready-made solutions. We aim at composing an ideal combination of (print) hardware and software that perfectly matches our clients’ requirements. All in all, we can look back on more than 32 years working experience

in developing individual printing solutions. We and our partners therefore have the know-how needed to reach

our self-set goal, i.e. to offer precisely those solutions that match individual demands,“ stresses Hoffmann.

The people at DTM Print think further: “We are looking forward to the future!“ says Hoffmann. “We plan to expand our product portfolio by new printers like the DTM FX510e Foil Imprinter with which you can add

brilliant shiny metallic or laminated highlights both to blank or already pre-printed labels. Furthermore, we constantly develop our point-of-sale solutions to help end customers to personalise their products on a much

larger scale than is currently possible. We also want to expand our volume of projects and help even more enterprises to integrate individual printing systems into their production and selling processes.“

With passion into the future - never did a slogan fit more than it fits the team from DTM Print.
