All4Pack 2016: KHS presents packaging of the future
At All4Pack 2016, from 14-17 November 2016, KHS GmbH will be presenting current highlights in plastic and secondary packaging, along with the latest innovations for PET bottle applications, Nature MultiPack and Direct Print Powered by KHS. Furthermore, visitors will be able to discover a wide range of additional packaging systems.
One of the highlights at the trade show booth will be Nature MultiPack. It was launched earlier this year in France and Belgium by Evian and won under the name ‘naked pack’ Le Grand Prix de la Stratégie 2016 for design and brand strategy. Nature MultiPac is based on specially developed adhesives which bond PET bottles together to form multipacks. Reducing secondary packaging by as much as 85%, the easily removable adhesive dots leave behind clean bottle surfaces, minimizing in-store and in-home packaging waste. Individually oriented bottles enhance brand presence and showcase bottle design, white tape handles bring convenience and convey marketing messages. Visitors to the KHS booth will have the chance to experience packs firsthand and learn more about the high speed industrial application.
Digital printing of PET bottles
KHS will showcase digitally printed PET bottles at the booth and provide the opportunity to learn more about how Direct Print Powered by KHSTM will enable brand owners to launch new bottle decorations within minutes. This disruptive innovation leverages highest possible image variability within future PET bottling lines. Based on specially developed low-migration LED-UV cure inks, Direct Print combines a secure cloud-based artworks management platform, with off-site sample printing for design and approvals. This technology is capable of 12,000 / 24,000 / 36,000 bottles/h.
