PRINTING INTERNATIONAL NV/SA – Belgium Stand n°015 – B – 4
Automatic Color Registration [ACR] avoids cumbersome setup procedures, eliminating the need for technical skills from the operator. Printing plates and pads are simply fixed onto the machine and the ACR modules use specific references on printing plates, pads and product fixtures to align all components to get not only registered colours but also to place the (multicolour) image exactly on the spot where it is needed.
This ACR setup procedure is much faster and more accurate than manual setup. During production, re-calibration of the setup can be repeated if required. A complete repositioning of the image (all colours together) or adjustment of one particular colour component referenced to any other colour component is also easy to do at any moment during production and takes only a few seconds.
U2 Robotics – France Stand n°021 – B – 5/A
Cleanline is a solution that works with virtually any packaging shape and type of closure. The machine is designed for quick changeovers and frequent format changes. The format elements are printed on a 3D printer, which allows users to produce them quickly. The machine has a much higher productivity per square meter of its area thanks to the magnetic conveyor module.
CILKOA – France Stand n°003 – E – 4
Cilkoa is a solution that makes it possible to coat cellulosic materials (paper, cardboard or moulded cellulose) with a thin layer of a few nanometres of alumina, in order to give them high barriers to oxygen and water vapour, without compromising their sustainable end of life (recyclability or compostability). This treatment is the only solution providing gas barrier properties while maintaining such a high percentage of cellulose, above 99%. The treatment also applies to flexible films as well as to objects that have already been shaped.
GETRA – France Stand n°137 – E – 5/A
The FE23 industrial stretch film is 100% biodegradable, compostable and recyclable according to the EN13432 standard and responds concretely to the implementation of CSR policies conducted by its users. It has been developed in order to:
Unlike other stretch films, which are not recycled at all or very few and which contaminate the compost, the FE23 film provides the solution to the main issues of recycling and final pollution of the oceans.
TOSA – Italy Stand n°160 – H – 5/A
Cai Lun: the TOSA project on pallet-wrapping paper
TOSA has invested in a R&D project in collaboration with an external partner which implements a pioneering paper processing method. By means of this process the paper is “deformed” and the fibres composing it stretch by up to 40%, thus allowing us to increase the adaptability to the perimeter of the palletised product, improving its stability and security and also obtaining a more polished finished look than that achieved with standard Kraft paper. Until now, there was only one type of paper on the market dedicated to tertiary packaging. This paper possesses properties that make it suitable for wrapping regular palletised products, without sharp edges, with geometric perimeters.
LIVINGPACKETS FRANCE SAS – France Stand n°12 – E – 4

QIMAROX BV – Netherlands Stand n°148 – M – 5/A
Qimarox introduces a brand new palletizer especially developed for a logistics environment where palletizing goods from containers happens often. Thanks to its unique pattern generator, the Qimarox Highrunner HR9 can stack boxes of almost any size on pallets at lightning speed. With this innovation, importers of various products are able to largely automate the unloading of containers. The Qimarox Highrunner HR9 offers a solution to the physically demanding work of unloading ‘loose loaded’ containers which is time-consuming and unattractive work. The boxes must be manually removed from the containers one by one and stacked on pallets, leasing to physical complaints among staff and damage to goods if boxes are stacked carelessly or dropped.
RANPAK BV – Netherlands Stand n°152 – E – 5/A
Cut’it! EVO delivers a most innovative approach to the packing process: once the products are packed, the machine determines the highest filling point of the carton, cuts excess cardboard and automatically applies a glued lid, resulting in a box ready for palletizing and shipping. With a high throughput, the machine provides smaller, easy-to-open and tamper-proof boxes, faster and leaner operations, and lower shipping costs thanks to the optimized box sizes.
A few new key features and capabilities for this next generation automated system, which was completely redesigned, include improved reliability and productivity, integrated connectivity with real-time remote support and data reporting, integrated box dimensions check, and easier, transparent operation with maintenance.
SCHOELLER ALLIBERT – France Stand n°026 – H – 5/A

After use, RENATURE Thermo can be easily separated and recycled or composted at home. The starch panel can also be reused by the end user. It is easy to cut and glue with only water to make a new customised packaging for their own purpose. Thanks to the unique U-shaped design and light weight of the extruded starch, the shipping goods are perfectly protected.
STOROPACK France SAS – France Stand n°164 – H – 5/A
AIRplus BIO Home Compostable aircushions protects products inside the box during transport, and ensures a safe arrival. The aircushions can be used for void fill, cushioning, and block and brace. With these innovative Aircushions, Storopack helps reducing the amount of plastic waste, while keeping the outstanding packaging characteristics to protect light – to medium-weight products.
The new Storopack AIRplus BIO Home Compostable aircushions can simply be disposed on a home compost heap, preventing the aircushion from entering the waste system in the first place. The compostability comes from the raw materials, which are partly from the renewable resource starch. The aircushions follow the high standards of the “OK compost home” certification from TÜV Austria.
