FMCG Packaging

As decentralization becomes the name of the game, businesses are looking at greater efficiency, security, transparency and a lot of reduced paperwork. Any business dealing with packaging and shipping should be eyeing this new technology intently (it’s not a fad when Walmart’s invested).

Let’s walk through the technology together in plain English. We’ll explore its application to supply chain and the packaging industry. We’ll also look at how current printing technologies, paired with the blockchain, offer businesses like yours a new approach to building brand trust.

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has asked Mondelez International India, which makes health drink Bournvita, to review and withdraw all misleading advertisements, packaging and labels related to the milk supplement citing non-adherence to mandatory disclosure of its sugar content.

This novel palletiser demonstrates its superiority when dealing with unstable products and partially filled bags. The accuracy, the precise control of the bag overlap and the ability to compact the layers confers great stability on the stack, improving warehouse operations and load security during subsequent supply chain logistics. The exceptional aesthetics of the pallet is particularly pleasing.  

1. Automatic labeling offers higher clock rates

Have you ever tried to peel off a label and stick it on as accurately as possible? Then you know: A human cannot label as quickly and accurately as a machine.

A high-speed label applicator such as the Legi-Air 6000 prints up to 2,250 labels per hour and applies them to continuous cartons. A high-speed label applicator that only applies pre-printed labels even manages cycle rates of up to 120,000 labels per hour!

P&G Beauty unveiled the latest in packaging innovation across hair care brands like Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Herbal Essences and Aussie in Europe, set to change the way consumers buy, use and dispose of their shampoo bottles. 

Products like Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Herbal Essences and Aussie will enable the 200 million European households to recycle, reduce and reuse the packaging. The leading beauty brands will launch a refill system for their shampoo, thanks to a new reusable 100% aluminum bottle and recyclable refill pouch, made using 60% less plastic.

According to tests, the new revamped version will be easier to handle while offering a premium feel in the hands.

What is it?
A Blockchain is a database of records, here called blocks. What makes the database special is that these records are interlinked, or chained, using a hidden code. This is useful in a supply chain involving transport and transactions that can be recorded as blocks. Each block contains a cryptographic link to the previous block plus information on when a transaction occurred, who was involved and much more.
