Mondi Awarded For Packaging Innovation Mondi, a global provider of packaging and paper, and French Les Crudettes - LSDH Group’s Vegetable Division, were recognized as a Gold winner at this year’s Packaging Innovation Awards by DOW for using recyclable Functional Barrier Paper manufac- tured by Mondi to protect ready-to-eat salads. This prize follows five other wins scooped last year for the paper-based solution. Mondi’s Functional Barrier Paper replaces plastic films and laminates traditionally used for FMCG and consumer products with a recyclable and renewable solution. It reportedly consists of 95 percent paper with a functional barrier layer and keeps Les Cru- dettes salad just as fresh as the previous alternative. Mechanical properties include puncture resistance, flexibility, printability and barrier protection. The applied coating technology creates individual barri- ers against grease and water vapor while ensuring freshness for up to 10 days – the same amount of time as with the former plastic packaging. Mondi used its EcoSolutions approach to work closely with Les Crudettes to help the company meet its sustainability goals of reducing the amount of plastic in its packaging for its salads. The packaging is verified as recyclable in the wastepaper stream in France and saves 137 tons of plastic per year. Addi- tionally, the solution supports Mondi’s MAP2030 sus- tainability goal to make 100 percent of its products reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. Geostick Invests In Bobst Digital Master 340 Geostick Group has signed an agreement with Bobst for the purchase of a Bobst Digital Master 340 label press, a fully digitalized and automated production line, from printing to embellishment and die-cutting. The new digital master 340 offers printing, embellishment and cutting in a single pass, with native integration between the UV inkjet digital engine, the flexo and converting modules. Running at up to328 feet per minute in four or six colors plus optional digital white, the Digital Master 340 is said to bridge the gap between traditional digital and flexo machines. The modular architecture is said to allow cus- tomers to configure the exact machine they need – from a digital-only version to highly customized configuration – integrating all modules available in inline flexo. It also provides the possibility to be upgraded on-site at a later stage.
