Mondi to invest in Szczecin plant in Poland to expand and broaden e-commerce portfolio

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has successfully completed the installation of major new equipment at its corrugated box production plant in Szczecin, Poland to meet growing e-commerce demand. The installation of the new machinery also marks further progress in Mondi’s ambition to further digitalise its business by using more advanced analytics and automation to better serve its customers with innovative and sustainable packaging and paper solutions.

The new equipment includes a five-colour Bobst Masterline 2.1 HD and a Robot MUK, which will produce sustainable packaging solutions for the growing e-commerce market in north-eastern Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Poland. Both machines will be equipped with automatic palletisers, run at faster speeds to increase production capacity and ensure high quality printing. Mondi’s award winning 100% recyclable SizeMeMailer and Envelope Mailer alongside other packaging solutions will be produced from this site.

Mondi’s expanded range of e-commerce packaging solutions follows the ‘3-e approach’ of being more efficient, economic and easy. Not only do they maximise convenience and the customer experience, they can also reduce the costs of logistics and contribute to greater sustainability by reducing product and material waste.

SizeMeMailer: ScanStar 2019 award winner for reducing environmental footprint for online shopping
*100% recyclable made from sustainably-sourced corrugated material
*Less raw materials used to make the product
*More cost effective for e-retailers with lower overall packaging costs
*Adjusts to three different height levels depending on the product to be inserted in the packaging
*E-retailers spend less on transport/ shipping costs as it takes up less spaceTamper resistant due to its integrated side walls so e-retailers spend less on damage/ potential theft

EnvelopeMailer: The unique rigid construction of the corrugated board EnvelopeMailer is made entirely from renewable resources. A hybrid between a standard mailer and a box, it can be shipped flat, elevated or box-shaped and snugly holds products up to 7cm tall in place for extra protection. As it adjusts to the product, without the use of size adjusting via crease lines, it also reduces the number of different packaging types in the fulfilment process. It further eliminates the need for polyethylene bubble wrap and fillers used to cushion small and mid-sized, lightweight, pressure and shock sensitive items during transportation, especially of smaller consumer electronics.
*Recyclable and biodegradable – made 100% from renewable resources
*Reduces unnecessary transport volumes to lower transport emission impact
*Saves packaging filler and cushioning material with increased product protection

California state lawmakers vote to ban all plastic bags (chainstoreage.com)

California seems poised to join the list of states that no longer allow grocery stores to offer the option of plastic bags at the checkout. On Aug. 29, lawmakers in both branches of California state government approved two companion bills that would eliminate all plastic bags from the point of sale. The legislation is focused on checkout bags as opposed to bags used to hold produce or wrap food that could cause contamination. Customers would be encouraged to bring their own bags or purchase recycled paper bags at checkout for a nominal fee.

Smurfit Kappa adds the missing ingredient to sustainable recipe box

Smurfit Kappa has collaborated with a leading UK recipe box company, Mindful Chef, to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by making their packaging more sustainable. Mindful Chef experienced a huge increase in demand for its home-delivered recipe kits during the pandemic. The company, which has been climate neutral since 2020, is committed to making every aspect of its business as sustainable as possible. Its previous recipe box consisted of insulation pouches combined with gel ice packs which, whilst effective at keeping the contents cool, were not easily recycled.

New York student won BillerudKorsnäs’ packaging design competition PIDA

Emily Frieden from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York triumphed in USA Packaging Design Impact Award (PIDA) and earned this year’s Gold Award. Her entry “Lavash” impressed the jury most with its “attention to detail in every aspect of the brand, design, and execution.” Lavash is a volcano-shaped package for a shower set. The design features all stages of volcanic activity – dormant, active, and extinct. Even the typography mimics volcanic eruptions. “When I was researching different elements of nature I was really inspired by the juxtaposition of the restorative parts of volcanoes,” says Emily Frieden. “It’ s just cool, fun, nature. I thought there’ s a lot I can do there, how I can bring that experience to packaging. It was a lot of fun.” At PIDA, design students from universities and colleges from seven countries compete with their creative packaging designs. The competition is organized as five separate events: the USA, Sweden, France/Belgium, the UK, China*, and Germany/Austria. The winners of the Gold Award at each event will meet in a Grand Finale at Luxe Pack Monaco in October.
