Neste Wants to Showcase More Sustainable Solutions

Apart from injection molding and in-mold labeling (IML) additional automation steps are necessary to make the entire process for producing container packaging as efficient as possible. For this purpose, Beck Automation offers customer-specific solutions for the downstream handling of such packaging.

Film manufacturers who are producing 3-layer film on older lines have noticed that they can no longer compete with new, high-performance BOPP lines. A qualified line modification to 5- or 7-layer technology provides for the possibility of producing new products and entering new highmargin markets with a reasonably modest investment.

Refining the Details 

The goal of the European Union (EU) to recycle all plastic packaging in Europe in an economically viable manner by 2030 is exerting enormous pressure on the packaging industry. It is very common that packaging films are made of different materials, and this causes challenges since they are often not easy to recycle.

For these stand-up pouches, counter-printed stiff PE carrier films were laminated with sealing films with low temperature sealants

Launch of the German Packaging Award 2021

Companies, organisations and individuals have until 15 May to submit their innovations and best solutions the prestigious European showcase for packaging.

Companies, organisations and individuals have until 15 May to submit their innovations and best solutions the prestigious European showcase for packaging. The competition, organised by the German Packaging Institute (dvi), covers ten categories and is held under the patronage of the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy. It covers all industries and materials, and is open to submissions from Germany and abroad.

“I am confident that our independent jury will once again find themselves evaluating a large number of outstanding, creative and smart solutions this year, ranging from goods presentation to new materials, digitalisation and sustainability to software and machine solutions. Whether the solutions present the seemingly small detail or a fundamental innovation: what really counts is their innovative power. I can’t wait for the awards ceremony and the announcement of the Gold Awards on 28 September 2021 at the Fachpack trade fair.”

Participants can choose to submit their products or prototypes in any of 10 categories. They can even submit a product in several categories at the same time. Packaging awards will be decided for each category. The jury is made up of a broad-based panel of experts from business, research, education and the media. They will examine and judge all the entries against fixed, category-specific criteria at a two-day meeting at our premium partner Igepa group’s premises. As well as the Packaging Award, the jury is also able to honour outstanding innovations with the particularly exclusive Gold Awards.

Powerful Arguments for Sales and Marketing

“Winning the Packaging Award – or the even more exclusive Gold Award – will put winners’ outstanding innovative power on permanent record. It makes a powerful statement when communicating with customers, consumers, partners, future employees, as well as your own team,” says Dr. Horenburg emphatically. “If you want to put your achievements on the big stage, send your innovation to the major competitive showcase, the German Packaging Award.”

Special Awards for Newcomers and Reusable Crates

“Thanks to our premium partner Fachpack, we are awarding a special award within our young talent category this year. There will also be another special “reusable crate” award, made possible by another of our premium partners, Coca-Cola Deutschland GmbH. The commitment our supporters, including PEFC Germany, adds even greater value to the German Packaging Award,” says Dr. Horenburg with pride.
