As the growth in flexible pouch use continues, we're seeing innovation in materials, design and printing come to the fore.

 

This year at Auspack we'll hear about a breakthrough in aseptic spouted pouch technology in the form of Idealpack's world-wide patented packaging solution created and developed for improving the application of reclosable spouts on different types and sizes of Stand-Up Pouches (SUP).

 

Flying in from Italy to tell us about this innovation is Guilio Ghisolfi, founder and GM of Idealpack, an Italian service agency specialised in research, design, planning, industrialisation and launching of new packaging solutions.

 

Ghisolfi will be speaking on day one of the National Technical Forums, which are running alongside Auspack from 7-10 March at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park.

 

Since its inception in 2001, Idealpack has developed a number of patented solutions which its says were all realised with the clear target to meet consumers' hidden needs in term of packaging and above all to show the potential of packaging as a strategic tool for brand differentiation.

 

Idealpack says its solutions are highly functional and practical, easy to understand and use and, above all, can be 'industrialised' cost effectively.

 

Idealpack is represented in Australia by its partner of over ten years, Auspouch, exhibiting at Auspack on Stand#660.

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
