Aldus Tronics is set to launch the M360+ linerless labeller in 2026 across Australia, New Zealand and the US, following its acquisition of IP from JBT Marel to develop a packaging machine purpose-built for linerless labels.
The company says the M360+ delivers a range of operational and sustainability benefits. By eliminating backing paper altogether, the system removes a significant waste stream while enabling lighter reels that are up to 40 per cent less weight, reducing logistics costs and simplifying storage. Labelling efficiency is also enhanced, with fewer changeovers required. The machine supports multiple applications, including wrap-around, C-wrap and top labelling, and meets CE standards for international safety and quality compliance.
Manufacturing will take place in Australia, drawing on local engineering expertise while incorporating a proven European machine concept. According to Aldus CEO Frank Floriano, the launch represents a long-awaited shift for the market.
“For too long, the market has lacked alternatives. With Aldus Tronics’ proven track record in reliable labelling technology, we’re proud to provide a fresh, sustainable option that meets today’s industry needs,” Floriano said. “This IP allows us to address a specific market need with a high-quality, efficient, and sustainable solution. We are excited to bring this Australian-made technology to the world.”
Aldus says the M360+ will significantly strengthen its capabilities and expand its offer to customers by providing a comprehensive solution for fresh produce labelling requirements. The ability to deliver a locally manufactured, technologically advanced machine with global export potential underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and growth.
The Aldus M360+ will be available from 2026.
