Lightweight PET juice package design taps lemon’s shape, texture and natural origins to heighten shelf appeal and reduce costs It’s called “Lemon Top” and for good reason. Customers of Cliffstar Corporation , the USA’s leading private label juice provider, will soon roll out the unique package into retail food outlets nationwide. The 32-ounce PET bottle from Amcor PET Packaging looks and feels the part with its lemon-peel texturing on its lemon-shaped top. Embossed leaves further communicate the natural goodness inside, and in keeping with tradition over many years, the deep ‘Cliffstar green’ color is synonymous with its lemon juice packaging. “This is an updated design with far more brand appeal for our customers. It looks great and is beyond anything else on the market, which will draw interest from more consumers and help drive sales in various departments throughout a store” said Jason Krause, Cliffstar’s Director of Marketing. “In the past, most private label and store brands ha...

Perfect label positioning is crucial to the quality of product packaging. The label inspection unit provided by the Checkmat EM from Krones AG, Neutraubling, Germany, uses a total of four cameras to inspect the height, the rotational alignment and the precise position of the labels in relation to each other. The system reliably handles a huge diversity of labels. It should be emphasised that container orientation in terms of mutual alignment of the label and an embossed glass feature can be verified. Further details are possible after prior checking. The Checkmat label inspection unit monitors the labels on the containers and can be relied upon to detect any irregularities. The CCD camera system provides users with a multiplicity of options for image processing: for instance, the labels are recognised by means of a wide-area pattern comparison, and inspected for position, alignment and quality; the error-tolerance is user-settable. The camera system’s image evaluation unit is linked t...

DFC Shrink Sleeves have launched their new image through their new website, specialising in the manufacture of quality Gravure Shrink Sleeves. DFC Shrink Sleeves have been in operation for nearly ten years and have traded under the banner of DFC Packaging Group of Companies . According to DFC Shrink Sleeves General Manager Ian Mackie, the time is now right for DFC Shrink Sleeves to become recognisable within the growing Shrink Sleeve market.

The new Sleevematic M sleeve labeller is the versatile solution from Krones AG for a wide range of dress variants, whether it’s full-length sleeves, part-sleeves or tamper-evident sealing. As a modularized machine, the second generation exhibits even more compact dimensions. It can be put together from a choice of different reel holders and alternative shrinkage variants. Accessibility to the station has been improved, the functional dependability upgraded, and change-over of all handling parts has been simplified for concomitant gains in speediness. With just a single height-adjustable station, it reaches an output of 27,000 containers an hours with a sleeve length of 200 mm. For high-speed applications, machines with two sleeving stations are used in tandem mode. This means the machine can be run with a lower sleeve speed at the station, with concomitant gains in terms of trouble-free sleeve handling. For placing part-sleeves, using a height-adjustable belt station is one option – e...

Yet another accolade for the “PET lite 6.6” 500-ml bottle developed using Krones ’ “NitroPouch” process: to coincide with the opening of the BRAU Beviale in Nuremberg on 12 November 2008, the German Packaging Institute has now singled out the concept for the German Packaging Prize. The innovative “NitroPouch” process had already won the 2008 Water Innovation Award in Gold in the “Best Packaging Innovation” category, and also the WorldStar from the World Packaging Organisation.

With a mere 6.6 grams of PET, 500 millilitres of still water can be “packaged”. The innovative features here include firstly dividing the bottle into different functional sections. Secondly, nitrogen is used to build up a defined pressure...

Larger print width and top printing quality for shrink sleeves and self-adhesive labels GIDUE latest combined offset/flexo press Xpannd 450, will be presented during the next GIDUE Open House on the 27th and 28th of November.

Gidue’s latest combined offset/flexo press, the Xpannd 450, will be launched during an open house at the company’s Turate, Italy, facility on November 27-28. The wider width of the press, 450mm, allows it to print shrink sleeves as well as self-adhesive labels, and therefore brings Gidue’s offset and flexo combination machine to a new range of customers. The flexible, modular machine, which can print of a variety of substrates and can also include silkscreen, gravure and hot stamping units, has met with SID certification from the BVDM (German Association for Printing). The press contains a patent-pending multi-process organizer, which allows handling and storage of offset cassettes and multi-process heads, thus reducing load handling by the operator. ‘Despite the present recession, Gidue has decided to “re-launch” itself in a series of new R&D projects. I believe that the label industry is suffering a general crisis due to production over-capacity and lack of differentiation withi...

Pemara Labels of Melbourne, Australia recently purchased equipment from Martin Automatic. As with most printers, they are constantly being pressured to reduce prices, while maintaining or improving their quality, and they found one key to their improvement with an MBSF automatic butt splicer and an LRD automatic rewind from Martin Automatic. The challenge for Pemara was that they have a very diversified operation and their customers require a variety of printing methods including screen, off-set and digital. They needed versatile equipment that could be a work horse and found their answer in the Martin equipment. The splicer/rewinder combination will be placed on a Gallus press. "Given Australia is a long way from America, we needed to make sure we have equipment that we can rely on. There are only a few suppliers that manufacture products that suit our presses and Martin Automatic is a recognized and reputable supplier" reports Andrew McNamara of Pemara Labels.

Via FINAT we find an interesting prediction of the PS labelling situation in Europe. I enclose copy of the original PDF Label industry stable in spite of world’s woes With Europe’s economy in a state of flux, demand for self-adhesive labels will, at best, remain stable during 2008, helped by strong demand for filmic roll products, Jules Lejeune, managing director of FINAT, the medium’s global trade association, has forecast. Presenting his state of the self-adhesive label industry report to FINAT’s 50th anniversary congress in Paris, Mr Lejeune said: “It should come asno surprise that the economy is in a state of flux. It is clear that the credit crunch, the situation in energy, raw materials and food markets continue to undermine business confidence, although the over-valued Euro has managed to dampen the effect of the oil and raw materials price increases.” The self-adhesive industry saw total demand rise to just over 5.5-billion square metres throughout Europe in 2007 –a 4.3 per c...
