When you’ve established yourself as a world leading manufacturer of packaging, filling, handling and palletising systems for the beverage and consumer products industries, research and development is one of the tools you use to stay ahead of the pack.

Ocme’s PackettoLab R&D department has come up with a way to keep your business ahead of its sustainability goals, its budgets and its marketing needs too.

Packetto Eco is a new pack design technology that significantly reduces the width and gauge of film used to produce shrink wrap packs for bottles and cans. It saves up to 35% of the film used. Using less and lighter film reduces energy consumption and substantially decreases overall costs.

With its specially designed integrated carry pack handle, additional packaging is not required. This reduces costs further, increases energy savings and waste reductions and improves the carbon footprint of the packaging.

Packetto also allows companies to directly brand onto the shrink wrap. Packetto Smart’s smooth, wrinkle-free faces allow logos and images to appear with no distortion or deformation areas, enhancing the pack’s shelf presence and branding.

Packetto Party is Ocme's specialised packaging solution for beer and multipacks. It is made with a special paper and a unique design shape that allows it to double as a cooler when ice is added.

The technology can be installed on new Ocme machines and retrofitted to existing Ocme machinery with some minor adjustments between the loose bottle area and the film wrapping section.

Ocme is represented in Oceania by HBM Packaging Technologies.
