Luminar, Read Labels & Packaging and QLM Label Makers, have combined forces to create qlmflexi- bles, a new division of QLM Label Makers Three Australian owned and operated convert- ers: Luminar, Read Labels & Packaging and QLM Label Makers, have combined forces to create qlm- flexibles, a new division of QLM Label Makers, which will offer combined service to Australian businesses. The new division combines three Australian owned and operated companies with extensive ex- perience at their respective locations in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. QLM Label Makers just opened a new 3,000-square-meter purpose-built label and packag- ing manufacturing facility in Brisbane, Australia, in 2020. The combined companies will serve custom- ers across a range of market segments and indus- tries with an expanded range of products, including flexible packaging, premium labels, folded cartons, barcode and label printers. Coveris Invests In Linerless Label Capabilities Packaging company Coveris, Spalding, UK, has in- vested more than £1.5m to expand its linerless label manufacturing capabilities. The group’s linerless labels facility in Lincolnshire, has bought two MPS flexographic wide web presses and made further site infrastructure improvements. Increased Output Already manufacturing more than one billion lin- erless labels each year for UK and European FMCG sectors, the company said this investment delivers increased output and supports the facility’s growth plans in existing and diversified markets. The two new presses were installed in a staggered program and became operational at the site in Sep- tember and November. Capable of printing Coveris’ core linerless for- mats Slidewrap, c-wrap, envelope, labels for pro- duce punnets, and contour-fitted formats “for skin- pack solutions”, the new equipment offers 10-color flexographic print including decorative cold foil embellishment. With 100 percent web inspection capabilities, the investment is said to enable improved quality, co- lour management, and consistency, resulting in the added benefit of reduced waste.
