Smurfit Kappa’s eye-catching drinks packaging stands out at the FlexoTech awards

The striking pre-print liner, which was designed for leading beer brand Beck’s, took the honour in the ‘Sacks and Corrugated Pre-Print Liner’ category.

The complex liner required a high concentration of ink coverage to meet the customer’s brief of realistic, stand-out print. In order to achieve the attention-grabbing finish, composite colours were used to build the brand’s vivid green shade and put the bottle in the spotlight.

With up to 82% of purchase decisions being made in-store, there is increasing pressure on brands to create a dramatic on-shelf presence and the beautiful Beck’s packaging more than delivers on the brief.

Chris Shaw, General Manager of Smurfit Kappa CRP Pre-Print,  commented: “I am delighted for Smurfit Kappa to have been recognised as a winner in this area. For designs requiring a photo-realistic finish and high-volume production, pre-print is a valued option so we are seeing many customers choosing this for their products.

“This achievement is thanks to the dedication and hard work of our experienced printers and graphics teams.”

The 2017 FlexoTech awards were announced at a gala event in London. Smurfit Kappa’s ShelfSmart service uses industry insights and eye-tracking technology to determine the best ways to market products on the shelf.

That’s a wrap! Mondi’s new Advantage StretchWrap paper offers a more sustainable choice for pallet wrapping

Mondi collaborated with the Italian machine producer ACMI to create a new wrapping system for pallets that uses paper instead of plastic. By transforming the way pallets are wrapped, Advantage StretchWrap reduces the supply chain’s reliance on plastic, moving to a renewable and fully recyclable material. Advantage StretchWrap (patent-pending) is a brand new lightweight paper grade from Mondi made specially for wrapping pallets. It is able to stretch and resist punctures, providing robust protection for goods during transit. The current industry standard for pallet wrapping is a multi-layer plastic material with low recycling rates. The Advantage StretchWrap paper, along with ACMI’s Rocket E-500 wrapping system, makes it possible to switch to a fully recyclable pallet wrapping solution. The paper’s impressive stretchability and high-tensile strength makes it a reliable alternative for transport. Acceleration tests to simulate transportation with ESTL equipment (performed according to EUMOS 40509(1)) and real life transportation trials confirmed that pallets wrapped with Advantage StretchWrap are safe.
