Orora will showcase its range of Limitronic in-line digital printers on stand C080 at AUSPACK 2019, designed to enable on-demand customisation of packaging.

Exclusive to Orora Australia, the Limitronic range prints in CMYK at 360dpi, at speeds up to 50 metres per minute. The printers allow variable printing for branding and customisation without the need for labels, says Orora.

According to Orora, this range of in-line digital printers enables its customers to create customised printing solutions that are produced on site and on demand; they also offer a sustainable alternative to plastic labelling on cartons.

Applications include the FMCG, retail, beverage, protein, fresh produce and industrial sectors. The range frees up storage space by removing the need for pre-printed cartons to be stocked on site; security and traceability are also key capabilities.

With product provenance becoming a key priority for consumers, Orora’s in-line digital solutions enable the printing of QR codes onto cartons, allowing the authenticity of products to be verified, the company claims.

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?
