FMCG Packaging

From the joint venture between Koenig & Bauer and Durst, operational since 1 August 2019 in Würzburg, Bavaria , there are important upgrades and innovations dedicated to Delta SPC 130 Flexline Automatic , the printing system for the paper converting sector that ensures industrial performance for large runs .

Also, total sales of certain veterinary antimicrobial agents belonging to antibiotic classes that are considered critically important in human medicine noticeably decreased between 2011 and 2018. These classes include antibiotics used to treat serious infections in humans caused by bacteria resistant to most other antibiotic treatments. Sales of third- and fourth- generation cephalosporins dropped by 24%, polymyxins dropped by 70%, fluoroquinolones decreased by 4% and sales of other quinolones dropped by 74%.

With the problem of plastic waste receiving significant attention, demand for more eco-friendly packaging continues to increase, and companies around the world are taking various measures focused on targets for better circulation of plastic resources used for packaging and containers. Unilever has announced global commitments for a waste-free world, aiming to halve its use of virgin plastic; help collect and process more plastic than it sells; and ensure that 100% of plastic packaging is designed to be fully reusable, recyclable or compostable.

The emergence of Digitally Native Vertical Brands (DNVBs)

The first Digitally Native Vertical Brands (DNVBs) appeared in 2007-2008, when the second generation of e-commerce sites emerged. From 2008 to 2012, social media began to take hold and brands began to appeal to consumers by creating “digital tribes” based on their products. This was a true revolution on the fashion and cosmetics markets, which had begun to struggle.

From the beginning of 2021 ADMV will again be run as a separate sub-brand within FlexLink. This serves the sustainable diversification in the product range and a clear positioning of the solution offer. It is also intended to strengthen customer relationships and simplify communication in the market. In the future, ADMV will act as an expert brand with a focus on beginning-of-line and in-line applications.
Extensive industry knowledge and high modularity

Here are some things to look for:

1. Different laws and requirements are defined in the market of each country, exactly what should be included in your product (it also depends on the industry). For example, in the cosmetics industry, ingredients, manufacturer information, and many other mandatory frills don’t even fit in a tiny bottle or jar of a few milliliters, so we’ll definitely need some extra surface to meet all the requirements. For example, a practical box is perfect for this, but it also increases the cost of our product.

The first partnership, with strategic packaging supplier, Albea, which is one of the world’s largest tube manufacturers, will see GSKCH switch its toothpaste tubes from aluminium barrier laminates to the patented Greenleaf laminate. The switch-over will begin with Sensodyne Pronamel tubes, which will be available in fully recyclable alternatives in Europe this July. This will be bolstered by a second partnership with EPL Global to produce tubes in Platina laminate.

EPL’s Platina Tube with HDPE closure, is the world’s first fully sustainable and completely recyclable tube accredited by APR. This partnership will help Unilever's oral care brands like Signal, Pepsodent and Closeup to be 100% recyclable by 2025.
