Mondi’s Kärcher case shows how a white underprint can support branding on brown paper. Separate the maker’s print and ink claims from barcode verification and finished-pack recyclability evidence.
Mondi and Stiebel Eltron reduced the number of board grades in a water-heater packaging portfolio by more than 75% and introduced white digital printing. Convert the headline into validated purchasing, quality, production and inventory outcomes.
A pre-commercial ultra-high-solids water-based PSA announcement is separated from verified performance, with one pilot matrix covering water evaporation load, coatability, peel, tack, shear, ageing and recycling compatibility.
RRD’s non-padded VersaPac FastTrack uses a paper peel-and-seal closure and is designed for robotic vacuum handling. This article separates those product claims from the pickup, opening, sealing, humidity, distribution and repulpability evidence required on an automated line.
Italian packaging-machinery company Altopack introduced a transverse resealable zipper format for long pasta in August 2026. The consumer benefit is easy to understand: remove the required amount and close the pack again. For a manufacturer, however, the decision must begin with zipper feeding, seal conditions, product contamination, effective line speed and repeated-open-close quality, not convenience claims alone. What the published sources say Altopack’s announcement and coverage by Food & Drink Technology describe the following elements: ...
Saica says its 100% recycled-fiber paper backing is linerless, repulpable and compatible with standard reel-wrapping machines. This article defines the unwind, overlap, adhesion, contamination, repulping and machine tests required before site approval.
A pumpkin-peel carbon quantum dot film improved mechanical, barrier and antioxidant indicators and preserved cherry tomatoes in a 25-day comparison. This article separates those findings from the migration, toxicity, converting and end-of-life evidence still needed for commercial food packaging.
An approval test plan for checking paper pallets and paper support blocks before they enter an automated warehouse, covering fork-entry deformation, conveyor travel, sensor detection, rack support, deflection, humidity exposure, pallet orientation, and AS/RS recalibration gates.
A pilot protocol for translating nanochitin and nanocellulose laboratory findings into line-specific checks for solids, rheology, coating, drying, water, oil and durability.
Paper tubes and cylindrical packaging are gaining attention in specialty coffee, but the decision cannot stop at a plastic-free claim. Buyers should verify the spiral-wound paperboard structure, liner and cap design, oxygen and moisture barrier needs, degassing conditions, and recyclability claims before switching.
