What makes for good packaging? That it is eye-catching and conveys your brand’s message well? That it protects your product and its quality? That it contributes to sustainability and helps to mitigate climate change? Or perhaps that it can be produced in large quantities at a low cost? The answer is, quite simply: all of that.

Consumers, lawmakers, retailers, and environmental concerns are placing increasingly complex demands on consumer goods and their packaging. Krones says it will be showing how it is possible to meet all of these demands, at this year’s interpack, in Hall 13, Stand A73.

Krones says its solutions all contribute the company’s new vision by focusing on climate change, food security for the world’s population, and responsible use of packaging materials. 

One example is LitePac Top, which the company explains is a material-saving, eco-friendly cardboard clip suitable for both cans and PET bottles, and is part of what Krones says is taking a pioneering approach to secondary packaging. 

If you are unable to attend Interpack, you can also explore the latest Krones technologies from its 3D virtual showroom, without leaving your desk. Besides selected machine innovations, customers will also find turnkey lines for cans, PET and glass and even aseptic applications.
