Crown Invests In Capabilities Of Its Bevcan Graphics Studio, Delivering A 26 Percent Increase In Activity

To support the delivery of beverage packaging innovations that increase shelf appeal, convenience and sustainability and continue providing world-class customer service, Crown Europe has made major investments in its Bevcan Graphics Studio. The facility, based in Leicester, U.K. features new computer-to-plate (CTP) imaging technology, a new 8-colour proofing machine to complement the existing upgraded version and additional enhancements to its flat digital proofing capabilities.

“Crown recognizes that packaging is an essential element of brand identity, which is built on consistency, quality, innovation and graphical excellence,” said Ian Gannicott, General Manager Graphics at Crown Bevcan Europe and Middle East. “Our investments in the Graphics Studio were made with the customer front of mind, and from the results we have seen so far, we are confident that we focused efforts in the right places.  In 2017, activity levels soared by 26 percent on top of an already busy visit schedule, which demonstrates the quality, dedication and commitment our team delivers every single day.”

The studio features a new exhibition area that provides in-depth information about sustainability and the benefits of metal packaging, decoration as well as guidance for designing artwork for beverage cans. It also offers a detailed overview of the can and end making processes. An Innovation Bar has also been added, covering everything from can shaping to end differentiation and also offers insight into Crown’s new “Colourful World” decorative finishes range.

“Without exception, customers using the Graphics Studio facilities have commented on how productive the experience is and how valuable it has been to work through processes and project details in an engaging and educational manner,” said Gannicott. “Each studio professional is highly trained in their respective fields, from proofing and reprographics to design and production. Customer service is a core focus across the board, ensuring customers’ needs are taken care of from the conception of a design through to completion.”

Neenah Brings Paper-Based, Radiation-Resistant Medical Packaging to Market

Neenah, Inc. announced a versatile paper-based medical packaging capable of withstanding all three widely used sterilization processes, including radiation, autoclave, and ethylene oxide. This innovative product allows customers to serve multiple markets and explore new opportunities by providing a unique alternative to polymer-based or kraft medical packaging traditionally used for nasal swabs, syringes, bandages, and other single-use applications. "By adding a radiation-resistant product to our medical packaging lineup, Neenah continues to lead the industry in offering the most advanced paper-based options available. We are thrilled to introduce a versatile paper-based medical packaging that is durable, dependable, and value-driven," says Valerie Henderson, Medical Packaging Product Marketing Manager, Neenah Industrial Solutions. Single-use medical devices are gaining popularity as they help lower costs, increase efficiency, and reduce the spread of infection. Gamma radiation is becoming a more commonly used form of sterilization technology for these devices as it quickly kills germs that can cause disease and neutralizes other harmful organisms. It is essential to the radiation sterilization process that the packaging has breathable barrier properties, excellent conformability, printability, and the ability to withstand radiation exposure to prevent risks to patients.
