Innovia, Checkpoint Systems and CCL Label join forces at Fachpack2024 to showcase smart pouches of the future

·        The three divisions of CCL Industries will focus on BOPP materials that enable monomaterial pouch constructions and RFID technology

·        Smart pouches as packaging of the future when it comes to sustainability, recyclability and easy logistic solutions

Dornbirn, Austria. CCL Industries, a world leader in specialty label, security and packaging solutions, announces that its three divisions Innovia, Checkpoint Systems and CCL Label will be present at a joint booth at Fachpack 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany from September 24 to 26.

The goal is to showcase the latest solutions regarding materials that enable monomaterial flexible packaging constructions as well as printed premium pouch solutions that are recyclable. In addition to that, Checkpoint will present RFID UHF and NFC solutions that can be combined with packaging to enable better logistic chains and improve sustainability.

Innovia Films: Packaging materials developed in line with PPWR
The material science experts from Innovia will be presenting films that help packaging companies and brands comply with PPWR.

“We will showcase film solutions with built-in functionalities that enable the switch from multimaterial to monomateria structures to make flexible packaging recyclable”, says Alasdair McEwen who leads the packaging division of Innovia in Europe.

 “One big cornerstone of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is the integration of a certain percentage of recycled post-consumer content into plastic packaging. The inclusion of recycled content in new films is top of the list for much of the industry – moving from a linear to a more circular system”, McEwen adds.

A key focus is the Encore portfolio that includes films with recycled content from three different sources. From post-consumer mechanically recycled content to chemically recycled food grade options; and recycled content that stems from prevented ocean plastics which can be now incorporated into the packaging and label films.

CCL Specialty Pouches: Premium monomaterial pouches for liquid filling goods
Pouches have several advantages over rigid packaging solutions – they are lightweight, very material-efficient and durable.

“Especially pouches for liquid filling good shave been made from multi-material constructions which are very hard to recycle. Now we have created new monomaterial constructions that have the same barrier properties and functionalities – offered both in polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) versions depending on the requirements and filling goods", explains Marco Lazzaroni, Sales & Business Development Director at CCLSpecialty Pouches, located in Brunello, Italy.

“We are looking forward to discussing these new constructions at Fachpack 2024 and show how these new pouches can help brands make their packaging bullet-proof for the future and new PPWR legislation.”
