ldquoAs a manufacturer of retail packaging I can understand why a county or town would

think about stopping a recycling program as you

said it isnrsquot economically feasible One of the biggest problems with recycling plastic is that you only accept water bottles and milk jugs What about all the other plastic containers like cake domes and base cookie trays muffi n containers any and all toy or electronic packaging What happens to all that plastic that could be recycled and gain you more revenue T ere is so much plastic that could be recycled that is not due to the fact that smaller communities donrsquot have the funds to properly recycle all the plastic they receive Yet there is just a small portion of plastic that gets accepted into a recycling program We as communities have to look past the bottom line and remember what the right

thing to do means I would ask the city council to adopt and allow all plastic to be recycled T e majority of plastic is PET the most widely used plastic in the world as well as the most recycled material in the world but all plastic is recyclable and some of those plastics are badly needed and will bring more revenue if recycled I ask all communities to please look into all plastics and the revenue they can and will bring into your citiesrdquomdashCheryl Marshall Vancore Plastic Packaging on ldquoRecycling plastic packaging too costly public offi cialrdquo

T e same event will also pay tribute to the winners of the Visionary Awards a new competition from UBM Canonrsquos packaging group which is taking form right now Irsquoll have more on that in a later issue but it will focus on the remarkable people in packaging rather than the packages processes or

also recommend the DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation Now in its 25th year this competition is ldquothe packaging industryrsquos longest running independently judged global awards program honoring packaging materials processes technology and service innovationsrdquo according to DuPont

Mintel Market Snapshot

wwwmintelcomgnpd

Pop star Katy Perry is known for a fun f avourful sense of style After signing onto snack brand Popchips as an investor and

creative partner in July 2012 the singer has worked closely with the company to create a signature snack f avor that ref ected

her sweetsalty style

ldquoWhen she told us she wanted to create her own f avor we couldnrsquot wait to get startedrdquo says Keith Belling co-founder and

CEO of Popchips ldquoKatyrsquos Kettle Corn is a delicious ref ection of her unique personality and continues Popchipsrsquo position as

a leading innovator in the snack aislerdquo

The end result is a popped corn chip with a balance between sweet and salty notes The packaging also ref ects her

personality with pink and purple accents (Perryrsquos favorite colors) a spotlight that evokes the concert stage and a heart

over the ldquoIrdquo in the Popchips logo The back of the pack includes a personal message from Perry and a quick response

(QR) code that directs the consumer to special Katy Perry content online The laminated f lm bags are printed rotogravure

by Innovative Packaging Solutions (wwwipspackcom)

Bags of Katyrsquos Kettle Corn f rst hit retail shelves at Target and other select retailers beginning in mid-February The product also is

available on the Popchips website

Packaging can send a fresh messageIn times of plenty consumers often trade up from

canned and frozen food to chilled despite higher

prices They see fresh foods as the more healthful

option Brand owners sometimes leverage freshness

as a quality that can elevate a product from standard

to premium and this quality can be communicated

through packaging

Freshness however is not a quality associated

only with premium products It also can resonate

with lower-income consumers With an uncertain

economy consumers are watching what they

spend ensuring food is not wasted and they see

value in packaging that keeps food fresh longer to

avoid such waste Longer-life packaging does not

have to present a signif cant change from previous

packaging In the UK Kraft Foods updated the lid

on tubs of Philadelphia soft cheese to create a stay-

fresh pack Keeping the pack type and styling the

same protected the brand recognition and equity

that had been built into the existing pack while the

new closure enabled consumers to keep the product

fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks

Freshness also can be communicated through

resealability which enables consumers to be

conf dent that the packaging keeps preserving

the product after opening This positioning often is

used for processed meats and poultry in f exible

packs and in stand-up pouches with resealable zip

closures and freshness relayed in on-pack claims

Perdue Farms incorporated a resealable zipper on

the recent launch of Perdue Buffalo

Style Chicken Wings in a pouch with

the claim ldquoResealable for Freshnessrdquo

clearly printed on the pack front In

the US in 2012 63 percent of all

new pouch launches in food featured

zip closures and highlighted the

importance of resealability

Another packaging strategy to

provide freshness is individually

packaged portion packs While often

used for portion control freshness is

also a driver Euro-Nat recently launched Le Pain

Des Fleurs 100 Natural Quinoa Crispbread

in two individual ldquostay fresh packsrdquo sold together

in a board carton This positioning could be

strengthened by using packaging that consumers

have come to perceive as having high preservation

properties For example a metallized f lm pack could

be communicated as ldquofoil packed for freshnessrdquo

Another fresh innovation comes from Australia

in the shape of a pouring tub for Danone yogurt

Here freshness is reinforced through packaging

that enables the consumer to see the product Fresh

products are not always as consistent in appearance

as ambient processed foods transparency can be

an important packaging feature that

builds trust in fresh products Here the

window has a double use marked with

graduations to help the consumer see

how much is left with fun and informal

marking such as ldquoPlenty to gordquo and ldquoAdd

to shopping listrdquo

With consumers viewing freshness

as premium any packaging feature that

can suggest that this attribute is being

protected and preserved should be

highlighted clearly to consumers However

the greatest gains may be in persuading those

consumers now counting pennies that they can buy

fresh with conf dence that the product will stay that

way until it has been fully used up

Best Maid Products vp of operations

The company previously used glue-applied paper

labels The team at Avery Dennison Label and

Packaging Materials (wwwaverydennisoncom)

ldquoClear-on-clear self-adhesive labeling helps brands

position themselves as contemporary and allows

additional graphic attributes to be added to the labelrdquo

ldquoPackaging in both online and retail share the need to scan a wide range of products and the need to connect in the blink of the eye remains critical Online shopping has the benefi t of not having cluttered shelves giving each product greater diff erentiation However due to the resolution size online packaging messaging needs to be simpler as much of the mandatory copy is hard to read onlinerdquo

Doyle points out that the practice of shopping online is a diff erent experience than retail browsing for a number of key reasons First he points out consumers typically will connect with a product and brand for a longer span of time when sitting at home in front of a computer than when standing in a store Also brands have the option of leaving off all the legally required messaging that must appear on a pack sold in a store leaving more room and freedom for incorporating graphics and text that further enhance the brand Also brand owners have more leeway to present the package graphically as opposed to how the retailer opts

ldquoT e beauty of the online environment aff ords the opportunity to put the package in context of a visual environment as opposed to a cold dull shelf which helps with visual appealrdquo Doyle says

It is important to grasp that when it comes to understanding the relationship between packaging and online shopping conventional wisdom on consumer behavior can be off the mark In January PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) released ldquoDemystifying the online shopper 10 myths of multichannel retailingrdquo a report that examines common misunderstandings of consumer behaviors and trends According to PwC principal Ron Klein one such misunderstanding is that online sales are sapping retail registers

ldquoT erersquos a sense that online retail is cannibalizing retail salesrdquo Klein says ldquoHowever data shows that customers connect with brands in stores and they are often likely to spend more money with that brand in that storerdquo

SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION OF

PACKAGING for online shopping

Jenni Spinner Senior Editor

T e practice of purchasing products online has aff ected packagingmdashappearance structure messaging and more However research and expert opinion refl ects there still exists a need for packaging companies to understand the diff erencesmdashand those diff erences may not be as broad as one might think

Dale Doyle creative director of branddesign consultancy fi rm Landor Associates says understanding how packaging and online consumer behavior interrelate is key and it presents a number of opportunities for brand owners

ldquoOnline shopping is a huge behavior change for the consumer and I believe wersquore still in the infancy stage of fi guring out how best to communicate the brands we develop to the consumer via the Internetrdquo he says ldquoWe need to work harder to communicate our story not only on-pack but the space around the package on the siterdquo

In November 2011 branddesign consulting firm Shikatani Lacroix released ldquoPackaging in an online worldrdquo a white paper that examined how packaging influences consumer behavior (and vice versa) as it relates to shopping via the web Among the

findings related in the documentbull A number of factors can infl uence whether

or not shoppers seriously consider or purchase a product Among the most important reasons getting a view the actual product packaging knowing the productrsquos packaging will protect it during shipping and knowing the product packaging presented online communicates precisely what theyrsquoll be getting when they open the container at home

bull Receiving the same packaging at home that one would fi nd in a retail store is more important in certain categories than others When asked how important it was to have the product arrive in the customerrsquos home in the same packaging seen in the post purchase the CPG categories that ranked highest were pharmaceuticals (362 percent) and groceries (358 percent)

bull Shoppers often prefer that the packaging of products purchased online be the same as it would be if they purchased the item in the store T e level of their preference varies by category (see chart)

Also according to Jean-Pierre Lacroix president of Shikatani Lacroix purchasing branded packed products indicates strengthened shopper loyalty T e research outlined in ldquoPackaging in an online worldrdquo refl ects that online shoppers are as much as 15 percent more brand loyal than shoppers walking retail aisles

ldquoOnline purchases have become ritualistic as consumers migrate from retail stores to online experiences as they become familiar with brands

making it harder to switch consumers once they have purchased a brand onlinerdquo he says

Getting in line with online shopping

Brand consultants with Landor Associates helped Stride iD Gum a Kraft Foods brand create a strong visual package that presents well online



deeper information about a product price the item and fi nd about off ersmdashall while still in the store

T e 10 myths outlined in the PwC report arebull Social media will become an indispensible

retail channelbull In the future stores will be mere showroomsbull Tablets will overtake PCs as preferred

shopping devicesbull As the world gets smaller global consumers

will become more alikebull China is the future model for online retailbull Domestic retailers will always enjoy a ldquohome

fi eld advantagerdquo over overseas counterpartsbull Global online-only retailers like Amazon will

always have an advantage over domestic online-only companies

bull Online retail is cannibalizing sales in other channels

bull Low price is the main driver of customer spending at their favorite retailers

Lacroix says that despite the changes that online shopping have created in consumer behavior the shift has not motivated CPGs to dramatically change their packaging overall adding that there are opportunites in that arena such fi rms could take advantage of

ldquoCPG companies need to view online retailers such as Amazon as their own class of trade more closely aligned to Cosco or Samrsquos Club where the product formats and basket sizes are largerrdquo he says

ldquoT is provides a great platform to off er multipacks that take customers out of the market longerrdquo

Lacroix points out that Amazon and other online retailers are off ering branded secondaryshipping packaging However Shikatani Lacroix research indicates that the protective function of packaging in the shipping process tends to trump branding or other more conventional package design merchandising principles

As with retail shopping online shopped packages take sustainability into account According to Doyle the environmental friendliness of a product (tempered by cost) is important

ldquoSustainability will continue to be an important aspect of packaging both online and in-store for the near and far futurerdquo he says ldquoCost plays a key role in how much companies are willing to invest and still be profi tablerdquo

Lacroix adds that while packaging companies and brands are seeing slimmed-down packaging including with online products packaging wonrsquot be disappearing completely anytime soon

ldquoWe will always need packaging graphics to eff ectively communicate the products point of diff erencerdquo he says ldquoHowever there will be a shift to the type of packaging structures that consumers will accept once delivered to their homes T is shift will be driven by a familiarity of what to expect once the product is delivered in addition to pressure

In its ldquoPackaging in an online worldrdquo study Shikatani Lacroix found that respondents often prefer that the packaging of the products they purchase off of the Internet match the packaging they would fi nd in a retail environment The chart at left indicates the percentage of respondents that when asked ldquoHow important is it for you that the product that arrives in your home has the same packaging that you would fi nd if you had purchased the product in a storerdquo answered ldquoVery importantrdquo

by municipalities to reduce landfi ll cost Our research has shown that the physical package primary purpose is protection followed by ensuring the product purchased online matches the product delivered T is will drive a rethinking of secondary packagingrdquo

Lacroix says packaging plays a larger role of infl uence in some categories than others For example research indicates that when products are purchased as gifts (such as perfume gourmet chocolates or other items) consumer behavior indicated packaging plays a more functional role

Lauren Licata interactive marketing specialist with branding and design fi rm Kaleidoscope says designing packaging that performs well online requires starting with the right questions ldquoWhen a brand comes to us with a package design project itrsquos always important to understand the environment where the product will be soldrdquo she says ldquoIn a retail environment for example itrsquos crucial that the package graphically communicates lsquoWho am Irsquo and lsquoWhy am I right for yoursquo in order to encourage purchase at shelf T e package structure on the other hand may need to provide protection or even act as a delivery systemrdquo

Doyle says that customized and custom-look packaging can appeal to online shoppers His fi rm recently partnered with Stride a Kraft Foods brand on iD Gum which features strong striking graphics

ldquoT ere are 18 unique illustrations over three diff erent fl avors that will shift as the brand grows keeping the brand engaging and freshrdquo he says Such graphics present strongly online which can help convince Internet shoppers to buy

Licata adds that graphics are important to online shoppers but infl uence on consumer behavior doesnrsquot stop with a pretty package

ldquoMany consumers consider online

reviews product descriptions and product images and may never actually see the package prior to purchaserdquo she says ldquoWhile packaging overall may become less important at purchase in an online shopping environment it can play a crucial role during shipping and consumer delight upon deliveryrdquo

Licata adds that structure of packaging is of high importance in the shipping pointing out that the graphics marketing materials overall presentation and sequence of openingunwrapping packaging upon receipt can play a role in impacting consumer

experience and reaction As Lacroix pointed out some retailers such as handbag manufacturer Coach or clothing purveyor Rue-La-La use the outer shipping carton branded tissue and embossed receipt envelopes to enhance the brand and create a premium experience through packaging

sustainability

When was the last time you heard sustainability referred to as a journey Chances are not too long ago as it is quite a common statement Often we may not give the word journey its due meaning A journey requires some level of commitment and purpose from the sojourner to see it through T e Chinese proverb by Laozi states ldquoa journey of a thousand miles begins with one step denotes that an action and intent is requiredrdquo

Late in 2011 I hit the road on a journey to spread the word about sustainability in packaging through the Sustainable Packaging Coalitionrsquos Essentials of Sustainable Packaging course Now after teaching in six countries Irsquove found that the interpretation and commitment to sustainability practices are quite varied across the globe To an extent I found that these interpretations are devoid of the holistic intent built into the concept of sustainability

In the simplest sense the concept of sustainability asks us to expand our perception of the world to include not just the act of creating value but to also include the oft-unvalued implications associated therein For package and product development this means looking both backwards and forwards at the same time From the point of view of the product looking back reveals all the interconnected steps that came together to bring the packaged product to market and we can look forward to the economic value generated In sustainability terms this could be translated by quantifying as best we can the implications of the product creation journey on the environment and societymdashthe upstream implications Looking forward sustainability asks us to consider our ability to continue to do similar activities into the future with a requisite ask of changing our collective behaviors to keep the whole system functioning into the horizon

Evidence from the Essentials of Sustainable Packaging classroom suggests that we are still quite early on the journey and have a long road ahead T e six countries I traveled

to covered three continents and collectively represent signifi cant global manufacturing and consumptive capacity Each place has a slightly

diff erent take on what industrial sustainability entails and what responsibilities need to be owned up to by each actor to someday arrive at the mythical sustainable destination

What these countries have in common however is that their various interpretations of sustainability run along fairly narrow and predictable paths Most eff orts are focused on the singular activity of placing the packaged good on the

market either domestic or export T e comprehension of the interlinked downstream implications is uncommon Similarly

there is little focus on looking forward to the concept of continuing similar activities in perpetuity What remains is a solitary focus on

producing and selling for today T e holistic vision of sustainability is lost or muddled in the eff ort to understand what makes for ldquogreenrdquo or ldquosustainablerdquo

Regardless of geography evidence in the classroom suggests that people yearn for the answer to the question of which choices are more sustainable For many the answer is innovation and hence the newest solutions are thought to be better and more sustainable For example bio-based materials are often viewed as a clear solution rather than just one piece of the puzzle For others it is a matter of compliance with the preset regulations by onersquos government and going beyond compliance is outside the scope Yet for others the discussion of sustainability is deeply intellectual and wrangling with the complexity of choices and outcomes is generally accepted including the ethical dilemmas

On the whole sustainability is seen as being encompassed by a single indicator or attribute such as carbon impact or recyclability respectively T e result is a narrow understanding of a holistic concept leaving us on the proverbial doorstep with the journey waiting before us Deep sustainabilitymdashthat which induces systemic changemdashis illusory in part due to the nature of our collective approach to the concept Can we break the pattern of stepping in place and instead bound forward with intent and commitment to make headway along the thousand miles journey We can yet it will require a longer-term vision and at times us to abandon the comfort of the status quo to overcome the inertia

T e cleaning products category has refocused its attention recently on cleaning up its relationship with consumers as they express concerns about product and packaging waste and about the safety of chemicals they bring into their homes

Kelly Semrau svp CSO at SC Johnson talks with Packaging Digest about some of the companyrsquos bold steps and its strategy for the future

Q What is the most pressing problem in packaging today and why And how do you think it should be solved

A As an industry we need to make it easier for consumers to make greener choices We know they want to do the right thing when it comes to the environment but itrsquos important to give consumers easy and convenient options

Packaging reduction through the use of concentrates is one small way to reduce waste However one of the biggest challenges is that data suggests that US consumers prefer pre-fi lled productsmdashso many stores wonrsquot stock

concentrates In 2011 SC Johnson took a bold step to help consumers make greener choices by launching the Windex Mini concentrated refi ll pouch available online in SC Johnsonrsquos Green Choices Marketplace Compared to buying a whole new trigger bottle the use of concentrated refi lls requires less packaging decreases shipping impacts and reduces waste

T e response to the Windex Mini concentrated refi ll was tremendous In response we worked to extend the concentrated line to four additional popular cleaning brands Scrubbing Bubbles fantastik Pledge and Shout T e SC Johnson concentrated cleaners off er trusted cleaning products in a concentrated formula while still providing the same powerful results

Q What are some of the most exciting packaging projects yoursquove been involved in

A In addition to launching our concentrated line Irsquom excited to continue adding new product off erings to the Green Choices Marketplace In fact this spring wersquore launching an innovative cleaning tool called the Smart Twist System Smart Twist allows users to clean their entire house with three trusted cleaners in

one device T e product is customizable consumers simply fi ll the unit with water and select their choice of three cartridges from SC Johnsonrsquos most trusted brands Windex fantastik Scrubbing Bubbles Pledge and Shout Carpet In addition to making cleaning faster and easier through product innovation Smart Twist brings environmental benefi ts by helping to reduce landfi ll waste as it contains 64 percent less plastic than a single 26 fl oz bottle

Q Where do you see the industry headed in the next decadecentury

A Marrying sustainable packaging with innovative product development is paramount At SC Johnson we continue to look at ways to expand our overall green product off erings while also working to make more products using renewable energy

Recently we commissioned two new wind turbines at our largest manufacturing facility Waxdale in Mt Pleasant WI in December 2012 The addition of the turbines mean that products made at this facility such as Scrubbing Bubbles and Windex are now made using clean energy

From our manufacturing process to our packaging to how we run our factories SC Johnson is committed to working to do whatrsquos right for people the planet and generations to come and we encourage others to do the same

T e acronym ldquoYESrdquo is shorthand for the pouchrsquos Yield Ease-of-use and Sustainability features With regard to yield Kraft reports users can squeeze up to 99 percent of the dressing out of each pouch which means they get about 2 oz more creamier dressing out of the YES Pack than from a rigid gallon jugmdashand without the mess

Ease of use is a function of the pouchrsquos structural design With dual easy-grip handles (there is a handle at the bottom of the pouch too) the four-corner-sealed pouch is easy to carry A spout fi tment on the top of the pouch together with the handles enables precision pouring

As for sustainability the Kraft YES Pack ldquorequires 50 percent less energy during manufacture of the packaging compared to a rigid jugrdquo says Barbara Pritikin senior manager Kraft Foodservice Integrated Marketing Communications Compared with rigid gallon jugs the emptied pouches take up 50 percent less landfi ll space and transporting the pouch fi lm generates 70 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions

T e Kraft YES Pack also reduces foodservice operatorsrsquo garbage volume and handling because the pouches take up 86 percent less space in garbage cans

3Flexible sheet converts into recyclable medical-device tray

T anks to its innovative design and use of materials the fl exible tray for a heart catheter won two Gold Awardsmdashone for Environmental amp Sustainability Achievement and another for Technical Innovation

T e CardioFocus balloon catheter die-cut tray produced by Beacon Converters Inc is made from a sheet of 100 percent virgin 0035-in thick fl exible HDPE A series of tabs creates the trayrsquos triangular sidewalls which run the length of the package T e tray design includes carabineer hold-downs to secure and protect sensitive parts of the product which is a medical device used in ablation therapy for atrial fi brillation

T e package off ers several environmental benefi ts vs the rigid PETG trays commonly used to package medical devices Beacon reports that the HDPE tray has 32 percent less volume and weighs 50 percent less than comparable PETG trays And less energy is required to manufacture the HDPE trays

In addition ldquoafter use the [CardioFocus] tray can be knocked down into its original fl at format and compactly segregated into the recyclable waste streamrdquo says Alison Tyler technical director at Beacon Converters

T e HDPE trays also provide a benefi t for cardiologists acting as a catheter-prep tabletop and serving ldquoas an organizer in close proximity to the

4Recyclable pouch pioneers new territory for fl exible packaging

Savvy Green Eco-Clean Laundry Detergent packaged in the new Ampac No 2 Pouch won a Gold Award for Environmental amp Sustainability Achievement T is pouch represents a breakthrough in fl exible packaging as it is one of the fi rst primary fl exible packages designed to be recycled

T e pouch is made from a coextruded HDPE blend and can be recycled with post-consumer shopping bags at grocery store drop-off points Conventional pouches are typically made from

laminated fi lms and are not currently recyclableT e Savvy Green LLC stand-up pouch also has

a smaller eco-footprint than conventional pouches because pouch manufacturing is vertically integrated Ampac extrudes and prints the No 2 Pouch fi lm and converts it into pouches at its Seattle plant T e Savvy Green pouch is surface printed in nine colors using solvent-based inks T e high-defi nition fl exography delivers sharp print resolution

A specialized matte varnish is applied over the printing ldquoT e overlacquer provides a much more natural look and feel and also protects the print from the product during fi llingrdquo explains Millie Nuno marketing manager Ampac

By eliminating the lamination step the energy materials and waste associated with laminating also are eliminated Ampac reuses the scrap from pouch production converting the unused material back into resin pellets that are used to manufacture other products

T e pouch complements the brand ownerrsquos

5Motor oil producer turns to fl exible packaging

Two awards went to the Eco-Ultra Motor Oil FlexPak pouch a Gold Award for Environmental amp Sustainability Achievement and a Silver Award for Packaging Achievement

Star Packaging Corp produces the package for brand owner Universal Lubricants LLC at facilities in Tampa FL and Atlanta According to Star the package is the fi rst stand-up pouch used for an automotive lubricant product in the US T e 1-quart pouch is made from a three-ply lamination thatrsquos reverse printed fl exographically in seven colors using digital photopolymer plates

T e pouch provides both environmental and ease-of-use features With regard to sustainability the FlexPak pouch contains more than 70 percent less plastic than a conventional 1-quart HDPE bottle used

to package motor oilT e lighter-weight more-compact

package signifi cantly reduces transportation-related emissions and fuel use because the empty pre-made pouches take up a fraction of the space of empty HDPE bottles on pallets and in

trucks T e empty pouchrsquos smaller size also reduces post-consumer landfi ll waste

Landfi lls also benefi t in another way because 1 percent or less of the oil in the pouch remains in the package when itrsquos thrown in the trash vs up to 3 percent of oil remaining in HDPE bottles

As for consumer benefi ts the spouted pouch makes precise pouring easymdashwithout a funnelmdashand the oil pours more quickly than with a bottle T e pouch also fi ts better than a bottle into tight engine spaces

bulk fl our pouchT e judges awarded the Aashirvaad Select Atta pouch which is both good looking and robust a Gold Award for Printing Achievement Manufactured and printed by Paharpur 3P Ghaziabad India the pouch holds 5kg of premium-quality atta fl our

ldquoOur customer wanted a vintage look on the graphics and a premium look of the package to assure the customers that this was the same age-old trusted brand that carries fl our from the best wheat grains in Indiardquo says Debarshi Ray head of quality assurance and process improvement at Paharpur 3P

But at the same time the pouch had to be strong Ray explains ldquoT e biggest challenge was to give the package a premium look and the ability to withstand rigorous handling in Indian

conditions We were able to achieve this by a matte-gloss combination of inks and we beefed up the structure to cope with the rough transportation and handling issuesrdquo

T e pouch is made from biaxially-oriented nylon (BON) laminated to polyethylene with the polyethylene used as the food-contact surface T e fi lm is reverse-printed in nine colors via rotogravure using a polyurethane-based ink system T e use of polyethylene in the fi lm structure gives the pouch high dart-impact strength

For shelf impact the graphics are rendered in a combination of matte and high-gloss fi nishes To

highlight certain parts of the pouch such as the brand name Paharpur 3P used a spot gloss treatment and softened surrounding graphics using a registered matte coating

Custom Blending Ft Collins CO provides spices fl avors and proprietary blends to foodservice distributors manufacturers retailers and restaurants around the globe Products include extracts fl avors emulsions vanilla products and liquid colors In addition the company is a private label producer and also produces a variety of items under its own label

According to the company its consumer product line Rodelle which is found in grocery stores throughout North America is Americarsquos fastest growing brand of vanilla extracts and baking essentials Its recently introduced health and wellness brand Harmony Valley gives health-conscious chefs and dieticians endless vegetarian options

New plantCustom Blending recently opened a new plant with two liquid packaging lines and one powder line Its newest liquid line runs a range of plastic and glass bottles ranging in size from 2 oz to 1 gal at speeds up to 80 bottlesmin

Custom Blending selected Inline Filling Systems (IFS) as the systems integrator for the new line It supplied much of the equipment on the line as well including the bottle unscrambler turntable fi ller capper and conveyors

ldquoInline Filling helped us a lotrdquo says Custom Blendingrsquos production manager James Calliham ldquoWe run a lot of diff erent products and bottles and our success is based on versatility and off erings to our customers Inline really listened to what we wantedrdquo

To start the packaging operation workers manually place empty bottles which are primarily supplied by TricorBraun from a pallet onto an IFS Valueline unscrambler turntable that feeds the bottles single fi le onto the infeed conveyorT e operator can adjust the speed of the variable speed unit from zero to seven rpm (825 feetmin) depending on the size and shape of the bottle being run

T e turntable includes a square bottle orienter that consists of a motorized round disk turning counter-clockwise to the rotation of the turntable to orient square bottles for smooth feeding onto the conveyor

Inline fi ller uses multiple nozzlesT e bottles are conveyed to a Model FOFNT60 automatic inline overfl ow fi ller that is equipped

with up to 14 fi ll nozzles T e actual number of nozzles used during production ranges from 14 nozzles for the 2-oz bottles to six nozzles for gallons T is is an intermittent machine so the bottles are stopped during the fi ll cycle

Bottles are admitted into the fi ller in groupings that coincide with the number of nozzles in use T us when running gallons six bottles would be admitted at a time

T e conveyor running through the machine runs continuously so a gate holds bottles back at the entrance to the fi ller and then retracts to admit the correct number Another gate holds the bottles in place beneath the fi ll nozzles as they are fi lled

With this overfl ow fi ller product is pumped continuously to the fi ll nozzles When it reaches the fi ll level in the bottle the overfl ow recirculates back to the product supply tank

T is recirculation feature makes overfl ow fi llers a good choice for foamy products because the closed system permits re-circulation of foam into the product supply tank

In addition the system is also well suited for a range of products including sauces syrups light gels and shampoos foamy cleansers and chemicals water and other non-carbonated

Flexibility is key for new packaging line VERSATILE INLINE FILLER at Custom Blending enables the company to effi ciently

run bottles ranging in size from 2 oz to a gallon on its new liquid packaging line

Automatic inline overfl ow fi ller is equipped with up to 14 fi ll nozzles The actual number of nozzles used during production ranges from 14 nozzles for the 2-oz bottles to six nozzles for gallons

Bottles leaving the fi ller travel beneath an injection system that deposits a small amount of liquid nitrogen into each bottle The liquid nitrogen turns into gaseous nitrogen expanding 700 times in the process and essentially fl ushing out any oxygen



water-thin beverages Product at Custom Blending is

pumped from the processing tank to the product supply tank that supplies the fi ller

From there a diaphragm pump delivers the product to the fi ll nozzles T e overfl ow product is recirculated back to the supply tank

T e fi ller at Custom Blending is equipped with Inlinersquos multistage fi ll system T is is a programmable three-stage fi lling cycle (fastslowdwell) that enables the operator to optimize pump speed at each stage of

the fi lling operation T us the unit could start out

fi lling rapidly slow down at the fi nish and then momentarily stop the fi ll completely T e cycle is diff erent for each product and bottle size

T e nozzles for the small glass bottles are specially designed with a vacuum breaker feature that admits air into the bottles when fi lling is completed T is allows easier removal of the nozzles from the containers

T e machine is equipped with a touchscreen control panel with a PLC that stores up to 50 fi lling-cycle setup parameters for instant recall

A batch bottle counter records the number of fi lling cycles completed and the machine will stop if a bottle is missing in the fi ll zone or if there is a downstream backup A starwheel indexing system allows for container stabilization and positioning at higher speeds

Bottles leaving the fi ller travel beneath an UltraDoser-FD liquid nitrogen injection system from Chart

Inc that deposits a small amount of

liquid nitrogen into each bottle as it passes beneath the injection head

Once the liquid nitrogen (which is at -320 deg F) is introduced into the container it immediately picks up heat and turns into gaseous nitrogen expanding 700 times in the process and essentially fl ushing out any oxygen When trapped inside the container the gaseous nitrogen creates pressure and adds rigidity to the container

In this operation a sensor detects

the speed of the line and a second sensor detects the presence of a container T e dosing head then opens and dispenses an exact amount of liquid nitrogenmdashtypically about a drop A dedicated PLC integrates and controls the sensors controls and human interface

T e bottles then travel through a double-belt bottle spacer from IFS that consists of two opposing belts

After the nitrogen injection the bottles pass through a metal detector that features a full color graphical touchscreen control panel with icon-driven menus

Our success is

based on versatility

and offerings to

running parallel to the conveyor T ese separate the bottles so they can pass through a Model IQ2 metal detector from Loma Systems

T e detector features a full color graphical touchscreen control panel with icon-driven menus IFS supplied a conveyor with a metal free zone specifi cally designed for integration with the metal detector T e conveyor allows the conveyor chain to transit through the metal detect zone without triggering the unit

A variable-speed bottle spacing wheel from IFS mounted on the conveyor after the metal detector creates spacing between containers entering the capper

T e unit which consists of a motorized horizontal disk running parallel to the continuously running conveyor momentarily halts forward movement of the container on the conveyor

Capper uses parallel beltsT e bottles then enter the IFS Computorque NT automatic inline capping machine that applies and torques caps onto containers as they pass through the machine T e unit features Inlinersquos patented cap tightening system which uses parallel belts traveling in opposite directions to tighten the caps onto the bottles Pistons pulse the belts at adjustable frequencies and amplitudes to achieve the required cap torque T e capper control panel visually displays operating parameters and messages for concise operator feedback and maintains the settings in memory for easy recall

Caps for the bottles are loaded into a fl oor-level cap bin and delivered up to the overhead centrifugal sorter by an elevatorfeeder

A spinning disk in the sorter moves the caps to its outer periphery where an air jet blows caps that are oriented with their open side up back to the center of the disk for resorting Properly oriented caps are sent down a track and into a powered belt for fi nal orientation

T e caps travel under a hook Caps that are properly oriented with the open side down are unaff ected and transfer to an inclined cap chute and are carried to the capping machine pick-off Caps that are oriented with their open side up are caught by the hook and fl ipped back into the sorter

Bottles leaving the capper pass through an Enercon Industries Corp Super Seal 100 induction sealing system that heats and applies a foillaminate tamper-evident seal to the tops of the plastic bottles An air-cooling system eliminates the need for a water recirculator saving fl oor space and money

T e bottles then enter a bottom-code transfer

Automated shrink wrapping of frozen pizzas has long presented signifi cant challenges for food processors Delicate handling of these frozen pizza pies is required to keep the sauce and loose toppings like pepperoni mushrooms sausage and cheese intact during wrapping T ese ingredients tend to shift around and fall to the bottom of the shrink bag before sealing

Additionally frozen pizza being a low profi le product has a high capability for shingling while traveling back-to-back on the infeed conveyor before entering the wrapper Shingling prompts poor infeed registration resulting in missed fl ights double product bagging and broken crust When running at high speeds such as 100 pizzas per minute most infeed systems cannot consistently maintain accurate indexing with the shrink wrapper

T e conventional machinery used for high-speed shrink wrapping of frozen pizzas at the rate of 100 to 150 pizzas per minute typically uses lap seal technology for sealing the shrink bag T e lap seal method wraps the fi lm around the pizza as it goes through a forming shoe then it overlaps the fi lm on the bottom of the pizza static sealing it before going into the shrink tunnel A key problem with this sealing method is that pizza toppings will frequently fall underneath where the seal is being made and compromise the integrity of the seal When the wrapped pizza comes out of the tunnel the lap seal can be loose or open but it is hard to detect Usually it is the customer who discovers that the pizza they purchased has not been securely sealed

To achieve a better quality seal on frozen pizzas food processors have used continuous-motion side-seal shrink wrappers T ese systems allow a continuous incoming stream of pizzas through the wrapper while a side-seal is generated followed by an end seal which separates each package before entering the shrink tunnel Because the seal is

being formed on the edge of the pizza rather than across the bottom the danger of loose toppings contaminating the seal area is eliminated resulting in a much more reliably sealed package

Conventional continuous side-seal wrappers however have a limited speed range T ey are useful

up to about 100 pizzas per minute

throughput Above that and their quality output diminishes Consequently many frozen pizza producers have opted for lap seal wrappers to achieve the higher throughput despite the loss in seal quality

Now a new generation of continuous-motion side-seal shrink wrapper for frozen pizzas provides the benefi ts of a secure seal combined with a high-throughput capability Palermorsquos Pizza is one frozen pizza manufacturer that is using this latest continuous side-sealing technology

Four pizza linesPalermorsquos Pizza Milwaukee WI was started by Sicilian immigrants Gaspare and Zina Fallucca who opened an Italian bakery on Milwaukeersquos east side in 1964 T e bakery expanded into a full-service restaurant known for its pizza By 1979 they began to manufacture and sell frozen pizzas based on their familyrsquos traditional Sicilian recipes

Palermorsquos is an innovator in the frozen pizza category creating the industryrsquos fi rst self-rising frozen pizza and its fi rst ultra-thin crust product It manufactures a family of frozen pizzas under the Palermorsquos brand including products such as Primo T in Naturally Rising Stone Baked and Classics by Palermorsquos T e company continues to research and develop new products and fl avors that cater to consumer needs such as its recent introduction Palermorsquos Hand Tossed Style which features ldquofamily-favorite fl avorsrdquo on a middle-thickness crust

T e popularity of these brands has made Palermorsquos one of the fastest growing manufacturers of frozen pizzas in the US To meet the demand for its

products the company recently expanded its headquarters

and manufacturing facility Opened in 2011 its new 250000-

sq-ft state-of-the-art USDA

manufacturing plant is a showpiece of

packaging technology operating four packaging

lines for handling its frozen pizzas Central to Palermorsquos

packaging operation is its main packaging line that runs its top-

selling 12-in frozen pizzasPrior to reaching that packaging line

sauce and toppings are deposited onto dough to form the pizzas which are then put through an ammonia-based spiral freezer Exiting the freezer the now-frozen pizzas are conveyed through the shrink wrapper and shrink tunnel then on to labeling and cartoning T e product is then cased palletized and sent off to shipping or deep-freeze storage

ldquoWe have been experiencing continued growth at a double-digit rate every yearrdquo says Mike Walz vp of operations for Palermorsquos Pizza ldquoAs we grew and the demand for product went up it generated a need for us to operate at a higher level of speed to meet the demand

ldquoT e challenge that we were facing as we tried to push our line speeds up was the ability

Demanding pizza line optimizes shrink-wrap operationPalermorsquos new high-speed shrink-wrapping line is capable of side-sealing 150 frozen pizzas

per minute with CONSISTENT HIGH-QUALITY SEALS AND NEAR ZERO DEFECT RATEmdashwith 50 percent

faster throughput than its lap-seal shrink-wrap lines

Edited by Jack Mans Plant Operations Editor

New line runs 150 12-in pizzas per min



of our existing lap seal wrappers to run at the higher rate of speed and provide a reliable seal T e lap sealers use a static sealing process It is an overlap on the bottom of the pizza Sometimes we would lose that seal and in the shrink tunnel that would open up T at tended to be limiting factor when running at higher speedsrdquo

Walz continues ldquoOn our main packaging line we were using a lap sealer that was operating at less than 90 12-in pizzas per minute So we embarked on a project to increase the line rate on that line fi rst After reviewing several shrink-wrap designs we settled on one system that could be custom confi gured to meet our specifi c needs instead of adapting to an existing formatrdquo

Servo-driven wrapperPalermorsquos selected a high-speed continuous-motion servo-controlled side-seal shrink wrapper from Texwrap Packaging Systems What makes this system so unique is its use of multiple technologies that are integrated into one system architecture enabling high-speed throughput of up to 150 frozen pizzas per minute with consistent high-quality seals and without damage to the fragile pizzas

T e throughput speed of the wrapper is achieved by the sealing head which is a patented servo orbital-motion technology It eliminates the need for the head to move with the product while the seal is being made T e sealing head moves in an ellipse without the back and forth motion of typical sealing heads which dramatically increases the throughput speed of the wrapper

T e orbital head is controlled by fast and precise servo motors as is the entire wrapper and infeed T e system is built with Generation 3 servo technology meaning that it was designed from the ground up to integrate servo technology PLC control and the mechanical elements Continued on page 30

A servo-driven fl ying nose bar is programmed to not only place the pizzas inline at a set spacing without touching each other but also to automatically adjust the speed of the entire line to match incoming production

A lug conveyor automatically inserts a corrugated-board circle underneath the pizzas and indexes the product into the wrapper

of the system T e systemrsquos 10-axis servo controls provide extremely accurate registration minimize the amount of fi lm used for wrapping and reduce the need for maintenance

Palermorsquos wrapper is equipped with a product protection system that ensures that the orbital head will not close down on any pizza A sensor maps the position of each pizza as it enters the orbital head operating space and skips that seal cycle when a pizza is misplaced

ldquoWe tested the wrapper at 180 pizzas per minuterdquo Walz says ldquoT is is very fast throughput but it performed as expected with accurate registration and secure

seals and no product damage On a continual basis we normally operate the system at 120 to 140 pizzas per minute considerably faster than the maximum 90 pizzas per minute with our prior lap sealerrdquo

Sealing fi lm securely at such extreme speeds requires a special side-seal design T e side-seal on this system uses the patented Green Machine technology invented by Shrink Packaging Systems Corp During sealing belts grip the fi lm securely over a long distance allowing the seal to be made on the pizza and the trim to be cleanly separated A special heating element seals and

Exceed design specsldquoKnowing the inherent design of both the static lap seal and the continuous motion side-seal the speed and the quality of the seal is tremendously improved with the continuous systemrdquo explains Walz ldquoWe were able to get

a shrink-wrap system on our primary line that not only met our design specifi cations but exceeded itrdquo

separates the fi lm between them T e system is self-compensating As wrapper speed increases the fi lm stays in contact with the heating element longer eliminating the need for constant adjustment Because the fi lm-gripping belts allow the tension on the fi lm to be isolated from the sealing process the result is consistent seals using the absolute minimum fi lm width

In addition to superior control of the elements needed for great seals at high speed the other advantage of Green Machine technology is that its simplicity virtually eliminates the maintenance associated with most side-seal designs

Integrated infeedT e infeed is optimized as well for maximum throughput and careful product handling A Texwrap-designed lane-combining system takes three lanes of pizzas exiting the freezer and consolidates them into one lane T en a servo-driven fl ying nose bar is programmed to not only place the pizzas inline at a set spacing without touching each other but also to automatically adjust the speed of the entire line to match incoming production T is ensures that pizzas do not shingle keeping toppings and crusts intact which is critically important at throughput rates of 150 pizzas per minute


T e wrapperrsquos infeed is a totally integrated system that self-adjusts to incoming production As the pizzas slow down or speed up so does the entire wrapping system

T e heat tunnel incorporates a feature called Seams Down which ensures that the side-seal seams do not position over the printed circular label on top of the pizza When shrink wrapping pizza the seam can potentially climb up past the center top of the pizza and interfer with the label on the top By directing the air inside of the tunnel to make the fi lm

T e single-serve coff ee category is booming but one criticism of the product category has largely been unanswered the packaging has tended to be more disposable rather than sustainable T e plastic cup housing the coff ee and the foil lid covering it typically are tossed into the garbage after use instead of recycled Sustainability has yet to be a signifi cant part of the equation

T e team at LBP Manufacturing is looking to change that equation with UpShot a new single-shot coff ee confi guration that seeks to off er coff ee companies and their packaging partners a more environmentally friendly option T e fi lter compatible with Keurig and other single-serve brewers diff erentiates from other single-serves by off ering full recyclability T e fi lter is composed of 100-percent-recyclable polypropylene and the outer seal also can be made with recyclable materials

A singular ideaAccording to LBP president Matt Cook the creation of the companyrsquos sustainable single-serve

product originated from discussions with coff ee companies on their concerns regarding the category

ldquoT e idea for the UpShot Solution came largely from our customersrdquo Cook says ldquoBy listening closely to them we came to understand that quality speed and fl exibility are the watchwords for the single-serve category Based on the wish lists we heard we developed a turnkey process that satisfi es the needs of many types of businessesrdquo

T e product has attracted the attention of several coff ee companies retail stores and packaging companies One such fi rm is Melitta USA Inc a coff ee purveyor with a history of packaging advancements

ldquoInnovation has always been a large part of our company culturerdquo says Chris Hillman vp of marketing at Melitta USA ldquoMelitta has a long history of originality starting with our founder Melitta Bentz who invented the coff ee fi lter back in 1908rdquo

According to Hillman Melittarsquos record of forward-thinking packaging developments have benefi tted the rest of the coff ee industry In addition to creating the fi lter the companyrsquos fi rsts include creating corner-seal bags composite cans and a more sustainable box confi guration that leads to a signifi cant reduction materials used in packaging T e company in researching options for entering the single-serve arena found that LBP appealed to its desire for innovation effi ciency and quality

ldquoAs a customer-service oriented company Melitta needed a partner that was equally committed to providing the best in quality and LBP met and quickly exceeded those expectationsrdquo Hillman says ldquoT e UpShot delivered the best quality coff ee of all the single-serve options we reviewedrdquo

T e team at Melitta liked the UpShot for a number of reasons In addition to the improved sustainability profi le Hillman says the fl avor of the coff ee brewed by the single-serve fi lter surpassed others available Also while other single-serve options put the coff ee in an opaque cup the UpShot fi lter permits consumers to actually see and smell the coff ee inside once the outer package is removed which enhances the coff ee drinking experience for consumers

ldquoIt really provides a full sensory experiencerdquo Hillman says ldquoOur most signifi cant learning has been understanding the importance of the coff ee sensory experience to consumers regardless of the product form With the UpShot fi lter consumers can see and smell the coff ee It is not an unknown product in an enclosed capsule T is new pre-fi lled fi lter cup is reminiscent of drip coff ee brewing

so consumers expect a better cup of coff ee T e UpShot fi lter defi nitely delivers thatrdquo

Hillmann adds that that the UpShot technology will allow Melitta to expand its B2B business by partnering with other companies that want to enter the single-serve category both private label and toll roasting

Focus on fl exibilityAccording to Cook the UpShot packaging provides coff ee companies and packaging fi rms with a high degree of fl exibility LBPrsquos technology is royalty- and contract-free Rather than using proprietary equipment to package coff ee operations are free to select their own packaging equipment Further he adds the process makes it easier for smaller companies to jump into the single-serve market and profi t from the continually growing fi eld Up until now more modest companies have found it challenging to get their single-serve products off the ground he says

T e UpShot fi lter is produced by LBP T en Melitta fi lls and packages the fi lters in its roasting facility in Cherry Hill NJ with customized equipment installed in February 2013 T e company plans to launch its product in the UpShot cups through national and regional grocery chains beginning in April 2013

One-shot wonder

The UpShot fi lter technology is designed to give coffee companies and packaging partners a sustainable alternative to typical single-serve solutions

While compatible with Keurig brewing systems the UpShot solution offers a number of benefi ts not typically found in other single-serve packages

solutions The companyrsquos built-

out Specialized Procurement

Infrastructure integrates with

businesses to optimize spending and deliver real

savings that equal a margin point or more

Many factors complicate a companyrsquos decision to test the markets and determine fair prices for goods and services

bull Resource constraintsmdashdoes the procurement organization have the resources to manage a full sourcing process

bull Insight into supply market dynamicsbull Expertise to evaluatequalify new suppliersbull Timingmdashcan a sourcing process be completed

before existing contracts expire bull Relationshipsmdasheven if the incumbent supplier wins

the business will the working relationship be damaged during the sourcing process

One strategymdashReverse Auction eventsmdashin combination with leading market intelligence can help you optimize cost reductions while comprehensively evaluating the right suppliers all in less time than you might think possible

Limitations of the traditional sourcing processes T e typical Request for Proposal sourcing process can be a lengthy one especially when you factor in bid release submission and subsequent negotiations T is typical process will not normally push a supplier to their lowest prices this comes through subsequent negotiations which again can be lengthy Existing relationships can also hinder the objectivity of

supplier evaluations during the post-sourcing periodBenefi ts of reverse auctions Reverse Auctions

essentially combat many of these inherent sub-optimal sourcing traits T ey signifi cantly shorten the cycle time and aggressively drive down supplier pricing By letting the competitive bid environment ldquodo the workrdquo buyers can reduce the time needed to conduct numerous bid analyses and subsequent one-off negotiations with suppliers T e shorter sourcing process leads to faster implementation and quicker realization of savings

Use cases and prerequisites A necessary prerequisite for Reverse Auction success is supply market knowledge to be able to identify the appropriate supplier pool to include and expertise to eff ectively manage the process Make sure that potential suppliers have been fully vetted and the goods andor services fully specifi ed prior to the event so that those factors are normalized leaving price as the primary criteria for awarding business Furthermore ensure alignment on strategy including how much visibility and feedback to provide to suppliers and how to evaluate bid responses Suppliers and buyers also need to be trained on the process to combat any preconceived notions about Reverse Auctions

Case-study example In 2012 a consumer goods client sought to rebid and reallocate a portfolio of spend

How to drive value in packaging procurement with reverse auctions

amongst its incumbent supply base T e choice to only consider incumbents was due to time constraints (rapidly expiring contracts) internal resource limitations and the cost of evaluating new suppliers By introducing and advocating Extended Reverse Auctions (each bidding event lasted several hours) we helped the client drive meaningful hard-dollar costs savings in a rapid cycle-time

T e companyrsquos portfolio of goods and services was well suited for a Reverse Auction because pricing was the main factor in supplier decisions T rough an Extended Reverse Auction suppliers could revisit and modify pricing at a more relaxed pace and receive real-time feedback about where pricing proposals fell relative to competitors T e ldquoextendedrdquo feature allowed for dialogue between supplier and client T e auctions lasted three weekswith the award opportunity increased in each subsequent event to keep suppliers engaged through the last auction

Benefi ts Contrary to traditional bid solicitation Reverse Auctions promote an objectively driven sourcing process and eliminate bid submission limitations Also pricing can be quickly and aggressively driven to the lowest price that the market will bear

Advances in materials and machinery

for stretch-sleeve labeling provide a

GOOD FIT FOR CONTAINERS AND

FOR BRAND OWNERS who embrace

the material and cost savings

Rick Lingle Technical Editor

Traditional stretch sleeves have been used for decades to decorate quart gallon and other larger-size containers primarily for commodity products from bleach to milk and carbonated soft drinks Recent advancements in fi lm printing and applicating machinery have pushed the boundaries of stretch sleeves onto smaller containers to open up new opportunities for brand owners

ldquoT is opens up stretch sleeving to lsquointerestingrsquo shape containers in the single-serve 16-oz and 20-oz rangerdquo says Jim Mallon vp sales and marketing of MRI Flexible Packaging which supplies both shrink and stretch sleeves T e company has been working on higher-elasticity stretch sleeves for about three years

ldquoStretch sleeving is a label decorating technique that hugs the product by conforming to the container shaperdquo Mallon explains ldquoWersquove been developing fi lms that can transform [this market]rdquo MRI has worked closely with two fi lm suppliers to provide stretch-application optimized linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE) fi lm in the same thickness as heat-shrink fi lm 2 mil

ldquoT e fi lm is in-house formulated with a balance between having the proper recovery or snapback properties and still enabling us to print it dry the inks register the fi lm seam it roll it and those kinds of thingsrdquo Mallon explains MRI follows a careful process of incremental improvement to eliminate compromising any aspect of the processing and production requirements

A standard stretch-sleeve label for larger containers and multipacks has a stretch rate of around 10 percent MRIrsquos C-FiT high-elasticity stretch-sleeve fi lm is in the 35 to 40 percent range (see chart right)

ldquoWe believe that range covers a fair amount of containersrdquo off ers Mallon who says that he is surprised at the range of applicable container shapes ldquoT ese materials can stretch further but not to 65 percent or abovemdashfi lms get too lsquostretchyrsquo to the point the machinery wonrsquot be able to apply itrdquo

Sleeve supplier CCL Label has been active especially in Europe with its Triple S (Super Stretch Sleeve) LDPE material that provides a whopping 55 percent stretchability for shaped plastic and glass bottles and jars and is suitable for hot fi ll Applications include dairy products juices energy drinks and other carbonated and non-carbonated

soft drinks Available in water-resistant clear and white LDPE Triple S can be fl exo-printed in up to 10 colors Decoration options include reverse printing anti-scuffi ng properties and high-gloss metallic UV and afterglow fi nishes

Application examples include Lucozade for GlaxoSmithKline in the UK introduced in 2008 Don Simon for Jose Garcia Carrion (Spain) in 2012 and Gerolsteiner (Germany) introduced in 2013 Both Don Simon and Gerolsteiner are applied using Krones-made equipment

A typical Triple S structure is 2-mil LDPE according to Wolfgang Ploumlsch business development director CCL Label GmbH CCL is capable of engineering fi lm formulations and extrusion variables to infl uence the fi lm according to customersrsquo needs

40 percent fi lm savings vs shrinkPloumlsch sees high interest in stretch sleeves because of the attractive value preposition stretch off ers related to full body decoration at lower cost (compared to shrink) and with a superior environmental profi le A stretch sleeve is approximately 40 percent smaller than a corresponding shrink sleeve ldquoT e market is demanding cost reduction and improved sustainabilityrdquo says Ploumlsch

While the European high-elasticity stretch-sleeve market is further developed than the US CCL Label is starting a global rollout of its Triple S technology Ploumlsch says there are little diff erences in the fi lms between customers across the Atlantic ldquoHowever we receive a lot of questions regarding recycling from US customersrdquo he points out

Itrsquos taken a combination of developments by converters machinery suppliers and even ink makers to reach this point with further improvements ahead that include improved scuff resistance and clarity according to Mallon who identifi es machinery as a key ldquoenablerrdquo He points to PDC Europe and more recently Krones as having introduced high-speed stretch-sleeving machinery

which Mallon sees as an encouraging sign Kronesrsquo Sleevematic ES stretch-sleeving system

relies on a newly designed servo-motor-driven sleeve clamp to stretch out the fi lm using 20 container platforms per carousel CCL Label licenses its Triple S technology to Krones

PDC Europe provides rotary and linear sleeve applicators the latter for moderate-rate lines T e company reports separate stretch-sleeve installations for the Model STA linear system in the US in Q1 2013 one system at Producerrsquos Dairy in California for single-serve milk bottles and the other at Verst Packaging a contract decorator in Cincinnati that is said to be one of the largest suppliers of shrink-sleeved bottles stateside T e STA operates at rates to 60 bottles per minute and can accept shrink or stretch fi lms

ldquoT e STA has been specifi cally adapted to apply this materialrdquo says Alcyr Coelho PDC Europe vp sales and marketingmdashAmericas T e units feature a ldquostarrdquo opening where the fi lm is stretched on four sides rather than two a modifi cation for the softer more elastic fi lms

As Coelho points out the elimination of heat tunnels and associated conveyors also greatly simplifi es the production process and provides energy savings

A life-cycle assessment of Triple S stretch label validated by Columbia Universityrsquos Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy found that the Triple S material off ered a carbon footprint four times smaller (46 g CO2 equivalent) than that of a standard shrink sleeve (179 g CO2 equivalent)

Because PE stretch fi lms are less dense than water they fl oat ostensibly a major benefi t for PET recyclers T atrsquos compared to PVC and PET and most other shrink fi lms that have a specifi c density greater than 10 and thus sink and cannot be easily separated (if at all) from PET fl ake

T e Assn of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and subsequently the National Assn for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) published white papers in 2012 that essentially declared that recyclers donrsquot

want bottles with those sinkable problematic shrink-fi lm labels

By that defi nition lighter-than-water PE stretch labels are good Unfortunately things are not so clear cut As APR technical director John Standish informs Packaging Digest recyclers are expecting polypropylene (mainly from closures) in those fl oatable materials and PE resins may contaminate the

Sleeve labels stretching into new applications

recovered material and reduce its value And Standish adds printed inks that are found on fi lm labels also sink and serve to further contaminate the PET fl ake

To address this knotty problem some solutionsmdashby one count there are six optionsmdashhave been proposedFor examplein Japan consumers are asked to separate bottles and labels Itrsquos a task made easier if the bottles are stretch sleeved but still culturally challenging to ask of US consumers

As in most consumer markets graphics play an impactful role and both CCL Label and MRI Flexible Packaging off er state-of-the-art printing capability into the High Defi nition level of resolution using central impression (CI) printing technology the only method that can handle these high-stretch substrates

In December 2012 MRI started up a Bobst FampK 20SIX CI press that is the fi rst of its kind in North America Capable of printing stretch or shrink fi lms the press also off ers smart GPS mapping using radio-frequency identifi cation (RFID) tags that help each station self-register T e press is paired with the companyrsquos new digital fl exographic plate prepress system

According to Mallon this process imparts a fl at slightly concave ink dot rather than a typical conical profi le T is extra bit of ink optimizes the print quality on stretch-sleeve labeled containers he points out

ldquoT atrsquos importantrdquo he emphasizes ldquoFor shrink fi lms the inks are compressed together to create a more lsquodensersquo color and with stretch the color is lsquothinnedrsquo but this process accounts for thatrdquo

Even the inks need to be more

elastic MRI has worked with ink suppliers to improve the elasticity of the inks used to ensure the graphics donrsquot crack when the printed fi lm is stretched onto containers

T e substrates are reverse printed but surface printing on white ink is optional as is the addition of a scuff -resistant overcoat Mallon notes

Final thoughts and cautionsMallon acknowledges that stretch sleeves are not going to displace shrink but are an alternative depending on what the customer is looking for in a specifi c application One downside is that stretch sleeves cannot provide over-the-cap tamper-evidence as with shrink fi lms and thus may require a (small) secondary TE banding system if that feature is needed

Mallon also points out that stretch application cannot reach the comparative high levels of stretch vs the 75 percent shrink that fi lms like PET and PVC can thus the technology is not applicable for large-diameter containers or those with dramatic circumference diff erences

Still itrsquos not too much of a stretch to expect more of these applications in the months ahead

Three high-elasticity stretch-sleeved packaged beverages found in Europe include Gerolsteiner mineral water introduced in Germany in 2013

industry insights

In fall 2012 Walmart announced it would be switching to compliance packaging in Walmart and Samrsquos Club pharmacies (wwwpackagingdigestcomWalmartEcoslide) T e new unit-dose packaging has now begun shipping to stores

T e pack chosenmdashthe Ecoslide-Rx from Keystone Folding Box (wwwkeyboxcocom)mdashoff ers large easy-to-read type on all sides and clear simple opening instructions Itrsquos also stackable easy to carry and earned the highest F=1 rating for child resistance from the Consumer Products Safety Commission And once the carton is opened the integral blister pack off ers easier-than usual push-through pill access

Ron Sasine Walmartrsquos senior director of packaging Private Brands explains how this is a win-win for all involved

Q Why did Walmart opt to go with the EcoSlide Rx calendarized packaging

A Most of the medications in this style of packaging are used to treat chronic conditions so adherence is critical to maintaining good results for patients and caregivers T e simple communication of this packaging style off ers a demonstrable and clinically proven benefi t over alternative packages

Another key benefi t to this type of packaging is its sustainability impact By shifting from a non-recyclable all-plastic format to a paperboard sleeve with a sliding blister wersquoll take a signifi cant amount

of plastic out of the waste stream and replace it with a recyclable alternative Consumers can take the paperboard sleeve and toss it right in their recycling bin with other paperboard cartons And the plastic blisters which do enter the waste stream are much lighter than alternative plastic packages

In addition calendarized packaging generally does a better job of reducing the

entry of drug residue into the waste stream since medication packed in this style of packaging is generally taken in its entirety

Q What features about the packaging were most appealing and why

A Everything we have done in the area of packaging innovation for pharmaceuticals is designed to ensure child safety And these new packages are easy to manage for patients many of whom are senior citizens

Wersquore excited about the improved print capabilities that the paperboard off ers and wersquore using those capabilities to provide actual-size depictions of the medication to color-code the packages by treatment class and to diff erentiate drug strength in a clear and concise fashion

Q What does it entailmdashinternally and externallymdashto make the switch to this unit-dose pack in your pharmacies

A When a drug transitions from a conventional package or from another style of compliance

package thatrsquos usually the fi rst thing a customer notices Pharmacists then have the chance to confi rm for the customer that the medication is indeed the proper compound and the correct strength and that the only diff erence is the package format T is gives the customer a chance to ask questions and have the pharmacist or pharmacy technician demonstrate how the package works and describe the benefi ts for the customer that will result from taking the medication as prescribed

Behind the scenes our pharmacy buyers work with drug suppliers and packaging companies to coordinate drug delivery package production and fi lling line capacity so that the fi nished retail units are released into our distribution network and shipped to our thousands of pharmacy locations Wersquove been able to realize important shipping effi ciencies and cost savings through this program as we have improved customer care Wersquoll certainly maintain conventional amber vials throughout our pharmacy network but the trend toward compliance packaging is an important innovation that will help improve customer care

Q How do you expect the new package will aff ect sales

A Our pricing for prescriptions sold in calendarized packaging will not increase as a result of the packaging change We do anticipate however that overall sales of medications sold in this style of packaging will increase since customers have been proven to adhere more closely to their medication regimen when their drugs are disbursed in this method T e immediate benefi t to customers is the positive impact on their health as they take their medications as prescribed T e secondary benefi t to suppliers and retailers is the growth in sales that derive from improved compliance
