SEEING PLASTIC IN BETTER LIGHT

It is not a comforting notion that it takes a once-in-a-generation deadly global epidemic like COVID-19 to initiate a comprehensive reassessment of the fundamental role that plastic products—including the much-maligned single-use plastic packaging and cutlery—can play in helping humanity facing a crisis of truly existential proportions.

And while it’s true that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures, it may also be true that the popular narrative about plastics being the root cause of all the environmental crises engulfing our planet just may have been overstated a tad too soon.

It wasn’t that long ago that governments around Europe, Canada and elsewhere were virtually united in their quest to ban single-use plastics in their entirety, while imposing punishing levies and regulatory measures on all other types of plastics to curtail their use in everyday product packaging and other common uses where their environmental impact was deemed too excessive to match any possible upside.

While the disturbing footage of Beach Plastic washing up ashore around the world and traveling the oceans in island-sized trash heaps provided much shock-and-awe dismay for consumers in affluent societies to force government into all-out anti-plastic offensives and vocal calls for outright bans, the grim realities of the coronavirus crisis has had some effect in muffling many of those voices.

That may well turn out to be a temporary lull, of course, if the hopeful promise of a miracle vaccine comes to fruition in the near future, but it is also a rare opportunity for plastic packaging producers and processors to make their collective pitch to the public about the many good things plastics do that tend to slide under the radar.

To this end, Amcor Rigid Plastics president Eric Roegner has emerged as a gentle but respected voice of reason in the ongoing debate about the plastics’ contribution to the societal prosperity and well-being in uncertain times.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been clear shifts in shopping practices, product demand and channel distribution,” Roegner observes. “Despite these changing consumer patterns, the role of packaging has never been more vital in enabling the safe delivery of food, beverages, healthcare products, and home and personal-care items including cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer and other essentials.

With demand for hand sanitizer in the U.S. skyrocketing by 800 per cent, Amcor worked with hundreds of local distilleries and wine producers to implement a rapid production switch from alcoholic beverages to FDA-approved hand sanitizing solutions, which also went hand-in-hand with switching existing packaging from heavyweight glass to lightweight PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic.

Moreover, “With today’s increased consumer sensitivity to safety and cleanliness, PET packaging also provides a more hygienic alternative compared to aluminum cans and refillable paper cups,” Roegner points out, “since resealable PET bottles and jars prevent contamination and permit no contact with compromised surfaces.”

So before the world’s environmental firebrands resume driving the global water-bottling industry out of existence after the COVID-19 crisis finally subsides, for example, it just may be worth to assess the material’s pros and cons in a more balanced way to prevent the eventual solution ending up a bigger global burden than the original problem itself.

MAPLE LEAF SHAKING UP THE PROTEIN CATEGORY WITH FUSION AND INNOVATION

While the interest in plant-based eating continues to grow, with more than half of Canadian consumers reported to be considering reducing their meat intake, not everyone is quite ready to just give up on meat altogether.

And for those who would like to have it both ways, Toronto-based meat processing giant Maple Lead Foods has just come up with a tasty happy medium that should meet a vast majority of Canadians halfway to satisfy their meat cravings, while also enabling them to eat more sustainably.

Launched earlier this summer at major grocery stores across Canada, the new range of Maple Leaf 50/50 fusion proteins combines 50-precent premium meat and 50-percent plantbased and natural ingredients to deliver the authentic taste of traditional meat products at half the meat content and a short, simple list of ingredients that addresses the growing need for more sustainable eating habits.

Launched in time for this summer’s traditional outdoor

grilling and barbecue season , the Maple Leaf 50/50 products—comprising Maple Leaf 50/50 Burger, Maple Leaf 50/50 Dinner Sausages, Maple Leaf 50/50 Breakfast Sausages and Maple Leaf 50/50 Grounds —were developed in direct response to the Canadian consumers’ demand for more choice in demonstrating their environmental intentions, according to Maple Leaf, without compromising the taste, satisfaction, and sensory experience of traditional meat products.

PET BOTTLE. THE REVOLUTION OF THE

“There has been significant growth in the meat-alternatives category, but the taste, texture and long list of ingredients have been barriers for some consumers who want to explore plant-based protein foods,” says Casey Richards, Maple Leaf Foods senior vice-president of marketing and innovation.

“Providing delicious options that reflect the way Canadians live, cook and grill is a priority for us at Maple Leaf,” Richards adds.

“We are proud to launch Maple Leaf 50/50 and introduce fusion protein as a balance of meat and plant-based protein for Canadians who love meat protein but want to make sustainable food choices.”

As Richards points out, each of the new Maple Lead 50/50 products carries a new Carbon Zero logo—reflecting the fact that Maple Leaf Foods is the world’s first major protein company to become carbon-neutral.

Retailing in attractive, high-impact retail packaging jointly designed by the company’s internal creative team and Mississauga, Ont.-based package design specialists Davis, the new products have a 10-day shelf-life, according to Maple Lead Foods chief R&D and food technology officer Jitendra Sagili.

IT DOESN’T COMPROMISE ON RECYCLING EITHER.

“We knew we wanted the graphics for Maple Leaf 50/50 to break through on shelf when compared to its competitive shelf set,” Sagili explains, “and to showcase through food photography that the product can be consumed in the same ways as its traditional meat alternative.

“Showing a window to the product and using a clear tray was an important factor in the design process, as we wanted shoppers to be able to see the freshness and familiarity of the product,” Sagili states. “Transparency and simplicity of our ingredients have been at the forefront of what the Maple Leaf brand stands for, which is proudly communicated on the front of the pack and in its transparent design.”

THE FUTURE IS NOW FOR POTATO POWERHOUSE TO SECURE FOOD SUPPLY

The world’s leading producer of frozen French Fries says it has embarked on a brand new path to improve long-term viability of its products by creating a more sustainable approach to potato farming.

According to the Florenceville, N.B.-based McCain Foods Ltd., continuation of current farming practices for potatoes and other major food crops will threaten the future food supply for the growing world population, along with the livelihood of countless farm operators in Canada and elsewhere.

less, while facing increasingly challenging weather patterns due to climate change,” says McCain Foods president and chief executive officer Max Koeune. “Farmers are at the heart of our country and food system, and the food challenges we’ve experienced during COVID-19 could only get worse if we don’t take action.”

“The global demand for food has never been greater, and farmers are being challenged with producing more with

As Koeune explains, McCain Foods plans to address the issue by building three so-called Farms of the Future to showcase how regenerative farming practices and the latest agricultural technology and innovations can be implemented at scale. In partnership with leading academics

and suppliers, each will focus on demonstrating that more sustainable practices can also create a more financially viable future for farming, while at the same time increasing food production. According to McCain these innovative commercial farms will be built in three different countries with three different climates around the world, with the first Farm of the Future to be developed in its home province of New Brunswick.

A FRESH RESTART FOR CONDIMENTS MANUFACTURER

Rising from the ashes is a story that never gets old, and Montrealbased Aliments Morehouse Canada is a story of admirable resilience. Established in 2000 when American investors acquired the bankrupt Québec company Deli K , manufacturer of private-label mustard, the company secured a major contract with Unilever in 2005, soon becoming the producer of the most widely known brand of Dijon mustard in North America.

Earlier this year, chief executive offficer Karina Massicotte became the company’s majority shareholder, with full backing of the American owner and an invaluable $1.5-million line of financing from the province’s economic development agency Fonds régionaux de solidarité FTQ

In one of first major moves, Morehouse recently acquired the Le Grec brand of salad dressings brand from Le Grec —a renowned restaurant in Trois-Rivières for the past 60 years—adding it to the new line of Le Grec dips the company produces at its 40-employee plant in the Montreal borough of Lachine.

Priding itself as a local producer catering to the discriminating tastes of Quebec consumers, Morehouse worked with two Quebec-based graphic arts specialists Active Marketing and Erod to design the exciting new packaging graphics for its dips and bottled dressings, respectively. (See Picture)

FRESH ATTITUDE TO PACKAGING DRIVES CASCADES TO GREENER HEIGHTS IN THE PRODUCE INDUSTRIES

Having the right attitude and seeing the bigger picture is all part of developing new sustainable packaging solutions to reduce the food industry’s substantial environmental footprint.

Happily for Canadian fresh products growers and processors, Kingsey Falls, Que.-headquartered forest products group Cascades Inc. has their back pretty much all the way through the food supply chain.

Early last month, Sherrington, Que.-based fresh baby lettuce producer Vegpro International Inc. started replacing all salad containers for its popular Fresh Attitude brand of pre-mixed salads from virgin plastic to the 100-percent recycled and recyclable plastic containers custom-designed at the Cascades Innopak plant in Drummondville, Que.

According to the two companies, the new container not only boasts a smaller environmental footprint, but also helps to extend the product shelf-life by improving air flow and limiting the build-up of excess humidity—enabling the baby lettuces to remain fresh and crisp longer.

Moreover, an independent LCA (Life-Cycle Analysis) assessment of similar Cascades packaging—conducted by Groupe AGÉCO —demonstrates that using 100-percent recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic rather than virgin PET reduces GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions and the consumption of nonrenewable resources required to manufacture packaging.

“Vegpro is proud to keep pace with its consumers’ marked interest in more environmentally-friendly high-performance containers,” says Vegrpo’s founder and chief executive officer Gerry Van Winden.

“Since a semi-rigid package is necessary to protect our delicate baby lettuce,” Van Winden points out, “our challenge was to find a more ecological material than virgin plastic.

“We are proud to have met this challenge in collaboration with Cascades, thanks to the company’s expertise in eco-packaging design,” Van Winden states.

“We are pleased to support Vegpro in achieving its sustainable development

objectives,” adds Luc Langevin, president and chief operating officer of Cascades Specialty Products Group

“This new packaging will give tonnes of plastic a second life, integrating them into the Circular Economy.

“We would like to thank Vegpro for their trust,” says Langevin, noting that the new partnership between Cascades and Vegpro is expected to create 30 new jobs at the Cascades Innopak plant in Drummondville, as well as over 100 new positions at Vegrpo in Sherrington.

The production of this new packaging has already begun, according to the two companies, who are planning to implement a gradual transition until early 2021, when all Fresh Attitude brand containers will be made from 100-percent recycled plastic.

Also last month, Cascades announced commercial launch of the comprehensive new Cascades Fresh line of packaging products for fruits and vegetables.

Designed for producers, packers and retailers, Cascades Fresh packaging solutions meet the needs of this key industry, according to the company, while also addressing consumers’ concerns about the environmental footprint of their foodstuffs.

The expansive range of the new Cascades Fresh product includes trays made from PETE, LDPETE and cardboard, baskets, carriers and corrugated cardboard boxes, with sturdy and leakproof options designed to:

• Preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables from harvest to table;

• Facilitate transportation across the supply chain;

• Provide visual appeal to capturing the attention of consumers;

• Comply with all the FDA and Health Canada food safety requirements.

“Cascades has been providing eco-friendly solutions for the food industry for decades, including trays, cup carriers, boxes and a wide range of packaging for producers, wholesalers and retailers,” says Charles Malo, president and chief operating officer of Cascades Containerboard Packaging

“With the launch of Cascades Fresh, we are refining our service offering and reaffirming our leading position in the growing packaging solutions market, all while enabling consumers to eat fresh,” Malo adds. “As enjoying food is part of our daily lives, our aim with these solutions is to make it easier to get fresh food to the table, while also minimizing the impact on the environment.”

LOMA SYSTEMS® brings over 20 years of experience in X-ray while delivering product safety to consumers through the detection of contaminants such as glass, calcified bone, stone and dense plastics in addition to ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel metals.

CALL TO THE BAR

Weight loss products manufacturer doubles down on protein bar production capabilities with cold seal wrapping and optimized line automation

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

PHOTOS BY PIERRE LONGTIN

Losing excess weight and keeping it off for good is one of life’s greatest personal challenges and struggles for a vast segment of population of all age groups across most of the world’s affluent consumer economies, especially so in North America.

And while the lack of exercise and physical activity is often identified, correctly, as one of the main culprits for rising obesity rates and serious health risks caused by being overweight, it’s no secret that sound dietary and nutritional regimen, along with correct food choices, are often the key to keeping one’s body weight at healthy levels on permanent basis.

And thanks to companies like Lachine, Que.-based Bariatrix Nutrition, Inc., North American consumers are fortunate to have the means to achieve their weight loss goals without resorting to extreme self-deprivation and sacrifice that can often cause more health problems in the end than they may temporarily remedy.

Founded in 1978 in Montreal by Thomas Egger under the Bariatrix Products International banner, the 42-year-old company is a widely acknowledged pioneer and innovator in the development of high-protein supplements and food products for effective weight management for athletes, medical weight loss clinics, professional dieticians and everyday consumers.

After filing a patent for the world’s first protein bar containing more protein than carbohydrates back in 1990, the company quickly grew to become one the continent’s leading manufacturers and co-packers of protein bras in North America—producing more than 600 million bars per year and employing over 600 people by the 2000s, while expanding its distribution with the opening of a U.S. location in Vermont.

In 2004, the Egger family decided to sell its thriving protein bar business and to reinvent itself by focusing solely on the research, development and distribution of foods for medical weight management and well-

Produced at a state-of-the-art Bariatrix Nutrition manufacturing facility in Lachine, Que., the company’s PROTI brand of single-serve protein bars come in a wide assortment of delicious flavors and recipes packaged inside high-performance cold seal rollstock film supplied to the plant by leading Canadian flexible packaging group TC Transcontinental Packaging.

ness under its current Bariatrix Nutrition moniker.

After expanding into Europe the following year by forming a partnership with Bariatrix Europe in Valence, France, Bariatrix Nutrition returned to its manufacturing roots in 2010 at a new 80,000-squarefoot production facility in Montreal’s Lachine borough.

Soon after, Bariatrix leveraged its past expertise in bar manufacturing by launching a new range of premium high-protein PROTI brand of functional protein bars in 2014.

Since then, the family-owned company has robustly diversified its product portfolio with a wide range of nutritious bariatric (weight loss) products that now include dry soup mixes; hot and cold beverage mixes;

hot cereals and granola blends; protein chips, cookies and snacks; bread and pasta; smoothies and puddings; and a broad assortment of related food supplements formulated to the exacting specs and standards of bariatric physicians, nutritionists and dieticians who treat obesity in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

With its growing contract manufacturing business for private-label brands also growing at a healthy clip, and significant capital investments carried out at the company’s Vermont and European operations, Bariatrix-made products can also be found in Australia and many parts of Asia, sold through clinics and other healthcare practitioners.

Currently employing a total of 215 people and generating annual revenues of over $70 million, Bar-

COVER STORY

iatrix Nutrition was recently named to the prestigious Canada’s Best Managed Companies list, compiled annually by financial services powerhouse Deloitte to recognize the best-in-class Canadian-owned and managed companies, for the third consecutive year in a row.

Close to the airport and with easy access to major highways, the company’s central manufacturing plant in Lachine is naturally a busy high-volume operation running a three-shift operation, five days a week, to turn out a dazzling array of premium-quality, highprotein products manufactured in strict compliance to all the pertinent HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) procedures and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines.

Boasting the international SQF Level 2 certification for food safety, along with full accreditation from both Agriculture Canada and the U.S.-based FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the Lachine plant is actually already reaching the limits of what in can do to meet the accelerated market demand for Bariatrix products, according to vice-president of corporate affairs Patrick Egger.

“This facility has recently reached its maximum output capacity,” says Egger, “prompting us to purchase another location nearby that will allow for future expansion.

“We also have a facility in Georgia, Vermont, offering the possibility of expansion should additional space be required,” he adds.

For now, the 180-employee Lachine plant us is operating three high-speed production lines—two for powdered products and one for protein bars—and a mixing department to turn out a highly diverse product portfolio distinguished with clean and elegant flexible packaging of varying formats and sizes, including pouches, sachets and bags.

“We currently have around 200 SKUs (stock-keeping units) consisting of various flavors, products and pack sizes,” says Egger.

“Our products are typically sold in display boxes,

with seven units packed inside shipping containers holding anywhere from 20 to 30 display boxes,” says Egger, crediting the company’s talented R&D (research-and-development) team for helping continuously expand its product offering by constantly developing new innovative, nutrient-dense products.

“We have always focused on R&D to ensure that our products remain at the forefront of the nutritional field,” Egger told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview.

“Our world-class R&D department comprises 18 food scientists, biochemists, chemists, technicians and regulatory personnel who take great pride in the collaborative work they carry out with our with ingredient suppliers,” Egger explains.

“Their ability to formulate, test and develop packaging on-site provides significant client value via a shortened development cycle and speed-to-market,” he states, “making us a reliable and stable business partner with a proven track record.

“Our products are usually perceived as being of a high quality in taste, ingredients, and nutrition,” Egger relates, noting that the plant’s quality control department boasts personnel with specialized expertise in areas ranging from microbiology to food science to immunology.

“We have highly dedicated employees and we encourage continuous training and improvement,” Egger states, tracing the company’s business success to keen scientific understanding of the crucial role that proteins play in effective weight loss strategies.

“Our in-depth knowledge of food functionality, texture and flavor systems ensures highest-quality product to continually delight customers—from initial launches through successive product innovations.”

Says Egger: “People are generally becoming more knowledgeable with regard to the foods they are eating, and are increasinglylooking for high quality both in the ingredients and the nutritional profile.

“There is also a strong trend towards ‘clean labels,’ meaning simple ingredients that are less processed

and natural ingredients like stevia, instead of artificial sweeteners,” says Egger, stressing the importance of offering consumers an enjoyable taste profile that they can enjoy at any occasion.

“Traditionally spring and early summer were the busiest times for us, as people were looking for diet plans to get ready for the warm weather,” Egger relates. “However, with the increased attention to healthy living and nutrition we see a much more balanced demand these days, with no particular spikes in demand.”

Sourcing its proteins and other raw materials from all over the world, primarily from North America and Europe, Bariatrix Nutrition is also a major purchaser of packaging materials and machinery used to package its final products.

“Packaging accounts for eight to 10 million dollars worth of purchases annually for us,” says Egger.

“We have always taken great pride in having attractive packaging that shows the quality of the products

that we manufacture,” Egger states, citing the company’s extensive in-house graphic design capabilities.

“We regularly update our artwork and work hard with various leading packaging suppliers to find the latest and most cost-effective materials to show off our designs in best light.”

Headquartered in Montreal, leading flexible packaging producer TC Transcontinental Packaging is one of the company’s key major packaging material suppliers—particularly for the diverse array of bar products produced on the plant’s fully-automated bar production line.

Produced in a broad range of single-serve sizes ranging from 29 to 100 grams, the bar manufacturing process begins in the processing area by mixing dry and wet ingredients to create a dough, alongside the preparation of various layers of chocolate, caramels and other flavored coatings.

The prepared dough blends are then brought to the line for slabbing, forming and cutting into squares, rectangles of other custom shapes to create individual bar products.

Depending on the product, the bars can than be half-coated, fully enrobed, drizzle-coated, top-layered or left completely uncoated.

“We have the capacity to make an almost endless variety of coated and uncoated bars, including layered, crisp, aerated and cereal types with toppings ranging from crushed nuts and chips to drizzles,” Egger states.

For wrapping and sealing the bars on its flowwrapping equipment, the line uses high-performance cold seal rollstock packaging film produced at one of TC Transcontinental Packging’s plants in Richmond, B.C.

“We started working with Bariatrix a few years ago,” says Roberto Travaglini, account manger for business development at TC Transcontinental Pack-

aging.

“Our Canadian presence in the cold seal market allowed us to work closely with Bariatrix to develop structures that would be common and readily available to them,” Travaglini relates.

“This allowed us to cut the lead times for the new products significantly.”

As Travaglini explains, “Cold seal rollstock packaging is used primarily for items that are sensitive to

heat on the production packaging lines, including chocolate bars, chocolate covered products, and any other heat sensitive items.

“It also allows packaging lines to run at very high speeds since there is no heat required to seal the packages,” Travaglini points out.

“We have had great success with our clients and their productivity improvements, especially at Bariatrix Nutrition.”

Adds Bariatrix Nutrition packaging materials buyer Diane Nutt:

“The cold seal used on our packaging is superior to any we’ve used in the past.

“The sealing requires very little pressure,” she notes, “and the strong bond enables our products stay fresh longer.

“The overall quality of TC’s products is outstanding, and in the rare event of an issue, all problems are always resolved quickly and without a fuss.

“The TC technicians are even available for troubleshooting on our own production lines,” she extols.

Egger concurs: “Our transition to TC for our flexo packaging materials was very smooth.

“Their team worked closely with our procurement and graphic arts departments to ensure that the quality and appearance of the finished packaging fully met our needs.”

After the individual protein bars first emerge from the Thermo Flow cooling tunnel in multiple rows, they are conveyed to the non-contact Benchmark feeder, manufactured by ProMach Inc. and installed by Propack Processing and Packaging Systems Inc.

Based in Beamsville, Ont., Propack is a prominent and well-established Canadian robotic packaging systems integrator with exceptional expertise in automatic flowwrapping lines.

As Propack president Chris Follows explains, the company installed the line’s first of two of continuous horizontal side-seal Revolution flowwrapping machines from Campbell Wrapper Corporation, along with the feeder, back in 2013.

“We believed the protein bars Bariatrix was producing needed a non-contact feeder, which allowed flexibility for Bariatrix to run sticky naked bars as well as the fully enrobed bars,” Follows explains. Propack president Chris Follows.

In 2015, Propack completed the second leg of the bar line’s expansion by installing another Campbell Revolution flowwrapper, capable of wrapping and sealing the bars at speeds of up to 300 pieces per minute.

After wrapping, the bars move on to the Propack LJ Robotic Loader, designed to run a multitude of different carton formats, which incorporates a high-speed ABB Flexpicker IRB 360/1130 pickand-place robot to pick up the desired

COLD COMFORTS

Cold-sealing masterclass critical to world-class flowwrapping performance

Cold-seal packaging is a fairly complex package requiring the use of two films: one reverse-printed with the brand’s graphics, and a second to provide the proper barrier to protect the product inside.

After these films are laminated together to produce a single inseparable web, the cold seal is applied on the inside surface of the web in a pattern registered and aligned with the graphics on the outside of the web.

By using special cold-seal adhesives formulated to form a seal with pressure alone—eliminating the need for heat and dwell time—cold-seal packaging enables a significant increase in packaging speeds compared to heat-seal methods, by up to 10 times faster.

For high-speed packaging applications like the protein bar flowwrapping line at the Bariatrix Nutrition plant in Lachine, Que., being able to wrap up to 600 bars per minute on its Campbell flowwrappers is intrinsically linked to the quality and performance attributes of the cold-seal rollstock film technology supplied by leading flexible packaging manufacturing company TC Transcontinental Packaging

While both companies are headquartered in Montreal, the cold-seal rollstock film used at the Lachine bar line is actually manufactured all the way out on the West Coast at TC Transcontinental Packaging’s facility in Richmond, B.C.

As TC Transcontinental Packaging’s account manager for business development Roberto Travaglini explains, “We have perfected the cold-seal flowwrapping technology application at some of our facilities, especially at the Richmond plant where we produce the Bariatrix packaging.

“The cold-seal technology for horizontal wrappers has existed on the market for some time,” Travaglini states, “but you need a good knowledge of the special packaging materials, as well as the process, to apply the cold seal adhesive effectively.”

Not only is it critical to select the right two films from the beginning, both the film and the cold seal— applied in a pattern on the backside of the packaging material—must be compatible with both layers, or risk being unable to unwind the finished rolls (aka blocking) at the time of packaging.

Also, being a natural-based product makes cold seal fundamentally inconsistent and possibly unstable if not handled properly—resulting in blocked rolls, poor seals, no seals, unpleasant odors, wasted materials, and risk to brand reputation.

Says Travaglini: “It takes special expertise to achieve and produce the exact location and the precision of the seal areas where the package normally is sealed.

“If the special cold seal adhesive that is applied on the inside of the package is not aligned perfectly with the design that is on the outside of the package, then the package will not seal,” Travaglini points out.

“The only way the package can seal is if there is pressure applied where this cold seal adhesive is located—thus giving you the bond strength necessary to close the package.

“However, our team, from the graphics department to prepress and production, has really mastered how to process any cold seal-sized application and produce cold seal rollstock flawlessly,” says Travaglini, citing the high-quality packages coming off the Bariatrix bar line at exceptional speeds with reliable consistency.

“Their commitment to exceptional execution is by far the best that I have ever seen for cold-seal packaging,” he says, citing superior product protection properties of the cold-seal wraps for Bariatrix bar products.

“Our cold seal structures have outstanding barrier properties that protect the product from outside elements,” Travaglini states, “thus significantly prolonging the shelf-life of the product.

“Our cold seal technology is known in the industry as being well ‘above average’ in terms of performance,” he concludes, “and that is the reason for our continued growth in this sector.”

quantity of wrapped bars and place them in neat rows inside the open-top cartons that are simultaneously fed inside the loading system by the nearby Kliklok Genesis carton erector, manufactured by Syntegon Technology GmbH (formerly Bosch Packaging Technology) and also integrated into the line by Propack.

As Follows describes, “The Propack LJ Robotic Loader accurately positions the cartons using four servomotors to ensure accurate and repeatable position of the cartons.

“Being a fully recipe-driven system, LJ Robotic Loader can pick up to 20 bars at once and place the converged bars to achieve the appropriate count for each carton.

“The large pick amount allows for reduced robot speeds, thereby decreasing any chance of ‘missed’ picks, while still achieving very high cartons-perminute rate,” Follows explains.

According to Follows, this particular Flexpicker model was the first ABB three-kilogram-load robot to be upgraded to eight-kilogram payload capacity.

“While the eight-kilo payload is not needed for this particular application, the larger-diameter arms and springs reduce the risk of arm displacement,” Follows explains, adding that Propack’s patented EoAT (endof-arm-tooling) incorporated into this Flexpicker feature an anodized aluminum frame structure, as well as modular lightweight SLS (selective laser sintering) 3D-printed components an anodized aluminum frame structure, as well as modular lightweight SLS (selective laser sintering) 3D-printed components that adhere to the patented design.

“The recipe-driven functionality of the loader allows for each recipe to be optimized,” Follow adds, “and changes to speeds within the LJ robotic loader can be made while running—allowing for immediately improvements in line efficiency.”

Says Follows: “The Propack robotic loader has run over 371,000 hours since it was installed, and it is ready to run for another 20 years.”

As for the Kliklok Genesis top-load case erector delivered by Propack, “It was the first Kliklok Genesis erector designed in a three-up format to reduce the strokes-per-minute, while maintaining the number of cartons erected to improve overall efficiency,” according to Follows.

“Designed to ensure positive placement of the cartons, the Kliklok erector incorporates an innovative mechanism to pick up the carton as it is leaving the plunger section and transports the empty carton to the vacuum conveyor—ensuring positive control of the carton once erected,” Follows explains.

After the protein bars are loaded inside the display cartons, they pass through a Kliklok Vari-Straight topload carton closer—designed to tri-seal top-load cartons at speeds of up to 200 cartons per minute.

All told, the fully-integrated operation enables the Bariatrix bar line to process between 500 and 600 bars per minute, says Follows, lauding Bariatrix as “a loyal and very technically competent customer.”

Says Follows: “We have worked with them since 2002, when we provided automation for three of their production lines.

“After they sold their former business and moved to the new Lachine plant, we were happy to go back and help them install a Propack Distribution System feeding a single wrapper.

“As their demand for more automation grew, we were more than happy to work with them again on completing the second leg of their bar line automation with the LJ loader and Syntegon equipment,” Follows states. “The result is a world-class, highly flexible line that perfectly complements the world-class quality and success of Bariatrix products.”

After the display cartons are filled with the finished wrapped bars, the product continues to flow on to the Elematic 3001 WA model wraparound case-packer, which was supplied to the plant by the Richmond Hill, Ont.-based packaging automation supplier Charles Downer & Co. Ltd.

Also manufactured by Syntegon Technology, the Elematic 3001 WA (wraparound) case-packer places the packed cartons inside the corrugated shipping cases at speeds of up to 30 cases per minute, before directing them towards the end-of-line packing area for palletizing and stretchwrapping.

According to Syntagon, the Elematic 3001 casepacker is designed to pack up to two-part display packaging inside simple trays in classic wraparound sequence, and the robust machine is engineered to set new standards for the ease-of-use, format changeovers and flexibility.

Featuring a long magazine with a simplified ergonomic loading height to reduces the refill frequency, the Elematic 3001 case-packer incorporates a highprecision hot-melt module outside of the machine that allowing operators to refill the adhesives safely inside the granulate container without interruption.

The case-packer’s user-friendly Elematic Click System helps to ensure quick format changeovers on the highly flexible machine that offers a wide range of formats—grouping products in single- or multi-row, as well as layer collations—and can handle a broad range of pack styles.

“This project is an excellent example of a good partner relationship,” says Syntegon Technology’s director of sales Bernd Bruckert. “We worked closely with the Bariatrix team and Charles Downer to develop the Elematic 3001 WA to meet all the exacting requirements and high expectations of Bariatrix.

“Thanks to the seamless collaboration, we successfully completed this project on time and the Elematic 3001 WA went into operation very smoothly,” Bruckert relates.

Adds Charles Downer president Jeff Downer: “It’s been a great experience working with the wonderful people at Bariatrix and having the opportunity to supply their new latest-edition wraparound case-packer.

“We look forward to working with them on their next fully integrated Syntegon ‘Bar Line of the Future’ system,” Downer adds. “I am sure our mutual efforts with result in continued excellent business for all parties concerned.”

For his part, Bariatrix’s Egger says that maintaining solid relationships with established suppliers provides his company with a high degree of technical competence and firm confidence in its own abilities to compete worldwide.

“The nutritional products field can be highly competitive,” Egger points out, “with new players entering the market continuously trying to profit from the latest trends.

“We have a couple of main competitors in the weight loss/ nutritional supplement field and that has not changed much over the past 20 year years.

“Having reliable business partners like TC Transcontinental, Propack and Charles Downer, among others, helps us maintain our competitive edge to ensure healthy growth well into the future,” Egger concludes.

“Our continuous reinvestment in our modern facilities in Canada and the U.S. ensures that our plants remain state-of-the-art, while our strict quality control guidelines, which meet or exceed GMP standards, help ensure that food safety and quality is always our primary concern.”

FLYING AT FULL SPEED FORWARD

Leading Canadian craft distiller continues its spirited transformation into a trailblazing RTD beverages powerhouse with world-class automation prowess and standout packaging

It may have been a welcome case of beginner’s luck at first, but 15 years after London, Ont.-based craft distillery Black Fly Beverage Company first sprang to life, its stunning success in the Canadian market for pre-made alcohol beverages is more reflective of noted American writer Amy Hempel’s deft observation that, “There is no such thing as luck. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.”

So while being the first company in Ontario to be granted a distillery license in over 100 years back in 2005 was undoubtedly a stroke of good fortune of be-

ing in the right place a the right time, the company’s knack for making its own luck by turning opportunities into groundbreaking business masterstrokes has evolved into a formidable core competency for which even the calamitous COVID-19 pandemic proved to be no match.

Currently offering 27 different RTD (ready-todrink) beverages produced and packaged under the flagship Black Fly brand label at its spanking new 60,000-square-foot production facility equipped with leading-edge, fully-automated beverage bottling and canning lines, the company has actually never been as busy as it has in the run-up and into the summer’s traditionally busy months.

AUTOMATE NOW

Powered by an SEW-Eurodrive motor (inset), the TopTier palletized at the end of the canning line is integrated with an automatic stretchwrapper to provide one-stop pallet loading/ securing for the finished shipping trays of canned products.

Ironically, this hectic flat-out production schedule has in fact been accelerated this season due to additional pent-up consumer demand for products helping Canadians take all the dispiriting news related to the coronavirus outbreak in better stride—alcohol being a prime example.

“We have been extremely fortunate to be able to keep our large team working, have our plant fully operational, and to be able to produce and deliver our spirit beverages to retailers and customers in these very trying times thanks in part to the alcohol industry being deemed ‘essential’ to Ontario’s economy,” says Black Fly co-founder Cathy Siskind-Kelly, who met her husband and company’s other cofounder Rob Kelly while he attended the nearby University of Western Ontario in the late 1980s.

“Not only were we able to continue operating, we actually had to ramp up and scale up production,” Siskind-Kelly told the Canadian Packaging magazine in recent interview, crediting the company’s continuous investment in industrial automation technologies—including recent installation of a turnkey KHS canning line, along with a high-capacity pasteurizer and a state-of-the-art can sleever—for enabling Black Fly to handle soaring market demand and production volumes.

“From a health and safety perspective, Black Fly has implemented additional protocols and measures, ” Siskind-Kelly relates, “but the fact that our plant is fully automated has us well positioned to be running our facility 24 hours a day, sevendays-a-week, safely and efficiently.

“Everybody working in accounting, analytics, administration and sales-support roles were able to quickly transition to working from home,” she reveals, “while when it came to our sales force operating across the country, we dramatically altered our sales approach to adapt to the different local [social distancing] rules so that where sales reps were not permitted to call on stores, they could continue to serve our vast network of diverse retail customers.

“As a result, all of our 70 full-time staff have remained fully employed since the start of the pandemic,” says Siskind-Kelly, noting the company’s current number of employees has more than doubled in size from 33 full-time staff only two years ago.

“In sales, we have growing by 40 per cent a year for the last seven years,” says Siskind-Kelly, citing robust growth overall in the RTD category that is capturing market share from the highly established beer markets across Canada.

“Everybody in the spirits industry, and even the beer companies, are moving into the ready-to-drink drink segment,” says Kelly, “which has created a big market demand for contract manufacturing of RTD beverages that Black Fly has been able to tap into in a big way.”

In fact, nearly half of production at the Black Fly plant now revolves around co-manufacturing RTD drinks for other producers both in Canada and the U.S., according to Kelly.

“It was a natural area for us to expand to because we have a unique experience in the RTD industry having not only built a brand, but manufactured and managed all aspects of development, production supply chain, marketing and sales for our branded products for many years,” she relates.

“Fifteen years experience in manufacturing our own Black Fly RTDs for the largest independent buyer of beverage alcohol in the world (the LCBO) and for every Canadian government retailer and a plethora of private retailers provides assurance to our co-manufacturing customers that they are working with a company that will meet the very high standards required to

“This includes operating a plant that is HACCP-, GMP- and kosher-compliant, and excels in the areas of quality assurance, food safety and lab testing.

“Most important, of course, are the passionate, experienced and dedicated people who work hard every day to make it all happen,” Siskind-Kelly states.

Along with diversifying Black Fly’s business,and building significant partnerships with other beverage alcohol brands, the best part, she relates, is that the growth in co-packing business has complemented the extraordinarily strong growth of its own flagship flavors and the Black Fly brand overall.

For example, the company’s original Black Fly Vodka Cranberry mixed drink— the very first cooler flavor developed by Rob Kelly in 2005—grew by a staggering 23 per cent in sales last year, while still remaining the company’s bestselling flavor, followed by Black Fly Vodka Grapefruit and the Black Fly Tequila Margarita beverages.

“For a product that’s been in the market for 15 years, such buoyant growth is remarkable,” says Siskind-Kelly, quickly crediting the entire Black Fly team for contributing to the brand’s enduring success.

“I think that every entrepreneur starting up a new business believes they will be successful eventually,” she relates.

“Aside from a solid concept, much of Black Fly’s success comes down to a combination of timing, good luck, but most of all to tremendously passionate people dedicated to excellence,” Siskind-Kelly states.

“All Black Fly team members fit this description,” she proclaims. “We are also thrilled to have been able to promote internally, and have a significant number of people with seven to 10 years of service with Black Fly.

“Launching the original ‘not too sweet’ RTD and being a Canadian craft producer continues to resonate with customers,” Siskind-Kelly continues.

“We also credit Canadians’ love of local and supporting quality Canadian innovation and businesses for playing a significant role in building Black Fly as a Canadian brand that has managed to appeal to Canadians all across the country—thereby growing Black Fly into the fifth-largest RTD brand in Canada.

“Our experience is that Canadian retailers and customers are passionate about supporting Canadian brands,” says Siskind-Kelly, citing over 850 LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) stores and agency stores currently carrying Black Fly products, in both cans and bottles, along with every other government liquor board in Canada and private retail outlets in every Canadian province.

“I believe we have the most wonderful sales force on the planet, who have done a great job in building great relationships with our retail customers across Canada,” Siskind-Kelly proclaims, “and combined with the beautiful patriotic support that Canadian consumers have always displayed for Canadian business and Canadian brands, we fell very privileged to find ourselves in this market-leading position.”

So rather than trying a make a major concerted push into the U.S. or other export markets, she explains,“We made a conscious strategic decision a couple of years back to focus our time, energy and investment on the Canadian market.

“And so far, we have been very happy with that decision,” Siskind-Kelly says, acknowledging that the company’s status as the country’s largest micro-distiller and, more importantly, a real industry category pioneer, puts in into elite ranks of the domestic RTD market’s current pecking order.

“When we reflect on where we started 16 years ago, I am tremendously proud to say that we were, and still are, the original

AUTOMATE NOW

Canada,” she states, citing the company’s firm commitment to continuous product and packaging innovation tracing back to its first days in the business.

“When we started out, the vast majority of cooler/ RTDs that were in the market were ready-to-drinks with very, sweet profiles and high sugar content,” Siskind-Kelly recalls.

“So when we launched out first craft RTD product in Ontario, not only was it made with quality ingredients in unique packaging, it was significantly less sweet than anything out there—about 60 per cent less sweet than all other coolers in the market at the time.

“And we have evolved enormously, in terms of offering a tremendous variety of products to choose from to satisfy the evolving and diverse tastes of consumers,” she point out.

“Today we have a line-up of diverse flavors and formats, from zero-sugar to full-flavor mixed drinks, from 2.8-percent low-alcohol ultra light beverages, at just 55 calories, to full-flavor at six-, seven- and right up to 17-percent alcohol-per-volume mixed drinks that deliver balanced authentic tastes that are not too sweet,” says Siskind-Kelly, explaining the origins of the company’s ‘Not too sweet’ tagline displayed on the packaging of its Black Fly brands.

“What are consistent are the quality ingredients Black Fly uses: pure juices and cane sugar that are blended just right to either just touch of sweet or deliver full flavors without using the high-fructose corn syrup.”

Remarkably, the company’s insistence on using craft production incorporating quality ingredients like pure fruit and berry juices, to make its RTD products has enabled it to position itself firmly in the category’s premium-quality product range, while remaining extremely price-competitive with all other RTD brands.

On the packaging side too, the company has always effectively differentiated its product offerings by using unique large-sized, resealable and unbreakable 400ml PET (plastic terephthalate) plastic bottles with a distinct wide-moth opening in which ice cubes can fit right in, and with an innovative designs that challenged the existing status quo of packaging and marketing, which at the time was geared exclusively to women.

In designing its signature bottle, for example, Black

Fly sought to introduce convenient, non-breakable, and versatile packaging that would appeal to all—and it turns out it does.

Says Siskind-Kelly: “Being an independent Canadian start-up in the uber competitive world of global alcohol brands,required us to come up with a unique quality and value proposition and offer more to consumers on every level—ingredients, innovative packaging and quality mixed drinks over 60-percent less sweet.

“We looked to the craft beer industry for inspiration,” Siskind-Kelly confides.

“To this day, Black Fly’s mixed drinks are craft produced, local (Canadian) and made with quality ingredients.

“Introducing a unique bottle that was 20-percent bigger by volume than existing cooler containers captured consumers attention, and then it was up to us to deliver great taste,” she relates.

“With seven-percent alcohol content, and bright and colorful packaging that really stands out on the shelf, our four-bottle packs offer consumers great value for the price-point, and our retail customers are quick to recognize that.

“From concept, to ingredients, innovative bottles, cans and packaging, to operating the largest wholly dedicated RTD plant in Canada, there are many things about Black Fly that remain unique to our company today,” Siskind-Kelly says.

“We are the only RTD producer in Canada that makes its own preforms and blows its own bottles inhouse,” she point out. “Since acquiring an injection molder earlier this year, Black Fly now literally produces its mixed drinks from pellet to pallet.”

Running both the custom PET fully-automated Fimer bottling line and the spanking-new KHS canning line enables Black Fly’s new $10-million London facility to turn out 4.5 million cases of 24 beverages (equivalent to nine liters per case) annually, according to Siskind-Kelly, while also offering consumers the broader choice of cans, including the standard 333-ml, the sleek 355-ml and the Tallboy-style 473-ml aluminum containers, in both direct-printed and shrinksleeved versions.

“As everyone in the industry knows, cans are in extremely high demand these days,” Siskind-Kelly,

“which is why we have worked hard to ensure a reliable supply of cans and lids not only for our own needs, but to ensure a reliable supply to our co-pack customers as a value-added service.

“For canning, the Black Fly plant is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from depalleitizer to pasteurizer, from filler to sleever, carton erectors, wavegrips, and right through to palletizers for every configuration.”

When it comes to the bottling line, Black Fly’s equipment is highly customized. According to Black Fly, the plant’s fully-automated Fimer bottling line fills eight 7,000-liter batches (equivalent of 120,000 bottles) of beverage products per day, using four 7,500-liter bright tanks to chill the blends and an inline carbocooler to carbonate perfectly to each product’s specs.

Once the 40-gram bottle preforms are blown from plastic resin pellets on the high-performance SIPA rotary injection molding machinery, they are swiftly carried via bucket elevators inside the inline heat tunnel, which places them into six-cavity molds injected with high air pressure (580-psi) to blow the preforms into finished bottles.

The containers are then conveyed through a rotary rinsing station to be thoroughly rinsed with purified water, and a linear air conveyor for drying off, before proceeding to the line’s high-speed, counter-pressure rotary filler that fills the bottles with the exact amount of finished beverage, and caps them inline at speeds of 133 bottles per minute.

The capped bottles then travel through an inline labeler that quickly applies waterproof poly labels around the neck of each passing container with unerring placement precision, using a range of on-board cameras to ensure proper label alignment.

From there, the containers travel past a small-character Videojet inkjet coder that codes each labeler with a batch date and other variable information for full product traceability.

All stages of the process are closely monitored by a variety of inline quality assurance systems checking and verifying container integrity, fill levels, torque strength of the applied caps, and other critical product quality checkpoints.

Once date-coded, the containers travel in a single row to the fully-automatic four-pack cartoner

places the bottles sideways, four at a time, inside decorative four-pack corrugated carriers boasting a special open-side design that uses 30-percent less corrugate that the traditional fully-closed corrugated carrier boxes, according to Black Fly.

After passing through a conveyorized checkweigher to ensure that each four-pack contains exactly 1,600 milliliters of product, the fished four-packs merge with a high-speed case erector that forms, tapes and conveys the pre-printed corrugated shipping cases on to the case-packing station, which places the finished four-packs inside the cases in the desired multi-case configurations, usually six four-packs to a case.

After the finished cases have their top flaps securely taped, they are conveyed on to a heavy-duty TopTier palletizer, which builds a palletized load of cases, up to six layers high, on top of a signature-blue wooden CHEP shipping pallet.

The entire load is then quickly secured to the skid with several layers of anti-skid stretchwrap film and rolled out onto the floor to be picked up by a stand-up electric lift-truck operator and whisked away to the storage area to await shipment to customer.

All in all, the fully automated process produces 88 fully finished pallet loads of bottled product per day, according to Black Fly.

For its part, the new KHS canning line features the same high level of automation, according to Siskind-Kelly.

The new canning line is equipped the new KHS Innisfill Can C filler and seamer at the heart of the line to produce up to 15,000 cans per hour, using its 21 filling stations, three seamers, valve manifold, cladding and control cabinet to enable seamless production of different-sized cans with minimal changeover times.

Designed specifically for smaller craft brewers and distillers with low to medium output requirements, the Innisfill Can C system features a highly hygienic design that includes a gapless bell guide with PTFE expansion joints (Teflon) and bells, which are lifted and positioned fully electropneumatically to seal the cans—without any mechanical action from cams and rollers. According to KHS, this eliminates the need for water lubrication, simplifies cleaning, and ensures an extended service life.

Immediately after seaming, the filled cans enter the high-capacity Blendtech 45M2 pasteurizer, manufactured in Italy by TMCI Padovan SPA and disrubuted in Canada through conveyor manufacturer Storcan—where they spend 12 minutes being heated up 72°C, before proceeding down the line to be cooled down by water and dried down to room temperature.

“This Blendtech pasteurizer is a key piece of equipment that ensures exceptionally high quality of all of our canned products,” says Black Fly’s plant manager Dave Jamrozinski, who joined the company six years ago.

“It is a world-class, state-of-the-art machine that is far superior to anything we have worked with up to now,” Jamrozinski states.

“It’s been running problem-free for a full year now,” he adds, “and I couldn’t really ask for much more.

“It is a very reliable workhorse with exceptional performance levels and stateof-the-art control systems and safety features,” says Jamrozinski, complimenting the Blendtech 45M2 for smooth operation and gentle product handling—posing no quality issues for the direct-printed cans that run through it alongside the naked silver bullets, depending on product selection.

After the cooled cans are picked up from the Palmer accumulation table, they are formed into a single file that passes by a high-speed Videojet continuous inkjet coder that swiftly applies all the pertinent product codes and batch lot numbers to the bottom of each passing can.

While the direct-printed cans continue on to the case-packing station, the naked cans are transferred inside a giant shrinklsleeve labeling machine manufactured by

AUTOMATE NOW

PDC International Corp. of Norwalk, Conn.

Running at speeds of about 260 cans per minute, the model PDC R-300-TSERT Shrink Labeler with dual servo label feed can run two different can sizes, along with oval and square containers, and consists of two dual-zone KST 80-712 steam shrink tunnels with proprietary control system for minimal steam usage, according to PDC.

To make the whole canning line run like clockwork, Black Fly relied on leading Canadian systems integrator PLAN Automation of Orangeville, Ont., to select the proper auxiliary and end-of-line packaging equipment to optimize the line’s performance.

AUTOMATE NOW

“PLAN Automation did the line layout and multiple revisions the make the equipment fit just right,” says PLAN Automation’s associate partner Greg Willsie.

“The biggest challenges were making the layout work with the space and Black Fly’s specific requirements,” Willsie recalls, noting the sheer imposing size of equipment such as the Blendtech pasteurizer and the PDC shrinksleever.

“We developed the layout in AutoCAD, including making the components fit in the space pillars and existing equipment to meet Black Fly’s needs and accommodate all of their restrictions on space,” recalls Willsie, adding this was the second major line integration project which he has headed at the Black Fly facility.

As Willsie relates, some of the key line equipment selected and installed on the new Black Fly canning line under PLAN Automation’s guidance included:

• A depalletizer for empty cans;

• A twist-rinser to ensure the cans are clean and empty prior to filling;

• A Filtec fill-level detector for catching misseamed or underfilled cans;

• Palmer conveyors, including accumulation and can inverting conveyors, and central control panel for conveyors;

• A Douglas Contour case-packer for top-sealing the loaded 24-can corrugated shipping trays with stretch film, along with the integrated AFA Systems cartoning machinery feeding the case-packer.

• TopTier palletizer with an integrated stretchwrapper to secure the pallet loads to the pallets for forklift pick-up, storage and transport.

“There were a number of corrections and revisions to the layout to accommodate changes in product matrixes, including an addition of a new can format, and a temporary layout to bridge the gap of equipment that was not going to be delivered in time for the line start-up,” Willsie recalls.

“None of these were major stumbling blocks because we caught them in time and were able to work with the vendors to implement the changes and still

meet the timeline,” he states.

As Siskind-Kelly observes, “From the moment the filling begins down to the stretchwrapping stage, everything is fully automated.

“It feels like everything is running all the time, and in fact that’s how it is with our plant nowadays.

“Automating our production process has had a great ripple effect on our business growth, process improvement, productivity levels, and on reducing waste and our environmental impact,” Siskind-Kelly points out.

“We make all our capital investment decisions with an eye on improving our green practices and decreasing our environmental footprint, and automation is a great tool for reducing waste through all stages of the manufacturing process,” she adds.

It also frees up valuable time to keep the company focusing on continuous innovation, R&D and product development activities that are all essential to driving future growth in a category that craves and appreciates new products and inspired experimentation, SiskindKelly agrees.

Most recently, the company’s penchant for packaging and product innovation was vividly reinforced with the highly successful late-2018 launch of oneof-a-kind Black Fly Tequila Shaker Shots packaged in 50-ml test tube containers that are actually bottle preforms used by Black Fly to produce its own PET bottles in-house, which in itself provides significant carbon footprint reduction by not having to transport finished bottles or preforms from outside suppliers to the facility.

Made with pure lime juice, packing 17-percent Tequila and a hint of sweetness, the carbonated Mexican inspired ‘tequila poppers’ shaker shots actually fizz up when shaken, just like a classic Mexican tequila popper. They retail in attractive high-color paperboard sleeve tray four-packs, which come in a six-unit retail selling case often seen at the cash registers.

The Black Fly Tequila Shaker Shots were an instant hit with the Canadian consumers, Siskind-Kelly recalls, while pushing the boundaries of what imaginative packaging can do for brands in the RTD industry.

“Consumer response massively exceeded both our

own and our retail customers’ expectations,” Siskind-Kelly extols, adding the new product achieved LCBO’s minimal annual sales quota within the first three months of its introduction to the market.

“Retailers in our category love innovation and the excitement it generates with consumers,” she says,“and this product delivers 17-percent tequila and 100-percent fun,” she quips. “It really captured that spirit of innovation in a unique package that consumers love.

“Black Fly Shaker Shots that have a lot of market longevity built into it,” she adds. “In 2020 we lunched it in second flavor with a spicy Jalapeno Tequila Shaker shot. Consumer response to new flavor has generated lots of suggestions, so stay tuned, Canada, for what’s up next.”

As Siskind-Kelly reiterates,“COVID-19 has changed the way people shop for their beverage alcohol.

“With people spending less time and buying more than usual when visiting their local liquor stores, Black Fly has seen a surge in sales for its classic flavors in bottles,” she says, citing strong sales for the Black Fly Long Island Iced Tea and Vodka Crushed Orange bottles; awell as for the Black Fly Sour Raspberry and Black Fly Sour Grape 473-ml cans.

Moreover, and 12 can mixer-pack sales of Grapefruit Gin and Lemon Vodka Soda Fizz, “have both already tripled the forecast sales for 2020,” Siskind-Kelly enthuses.

“With consumers in and out of stores more quickly, it is taking consumers a bit longer than usual to discover new 2020 products,” Siskind-Kelly notes, “but Black Fly has a hit with its Black Fly LOCAL 55 Vodka Soda in Lemon and Raspberry.

“At just 55 calories per 355-ml sleek can, it has the lowest calorie count of any vodka soda on the market.

A PATRIOTIC ENDEAVOR

Montreal machine-builder doing its part in urgent global search for a breakthrough coronavirus vaccine with custom-built automatic vial-filling equipment

BY PIERRE DESCHAMPS

With the world holding its collective breath for a timely arrival of a miracle vaccine to put an end to the deadly resilient and gruesome COVID-19 epidemic, global pharmaceutical companies are finding themselves shouldering enormous weight of expectations directed their way by the increasingly restless public and world leaders in all corners of the globe.

And while no one really expects for the magic cure to appear out of the blue overnight, there is no denying the desperate urgency underlying the pharma companies’ efforts to accelerate their search for an effective and safe solution.

Based in Quebec City, biopharmaceutical company Medicago is one of an estimated 120 companies worldwide actively involved in intense research and testing of potential vaccines that, unlike other ongoing vaccine development efforts of note, relies on pant-based technology and science to come up with a promising answer.

Last month, the company had in fact announced the beginning of human trials for its plant-based prospective coronavirus vaccine that demonstrated notable potential earlier this year when tested on mice.

In mid-May, Medicago announced that its COVID-19 vaccine candidate “has induced an antibody response in mice” in what might turn out to be a

major breakthrough in the fight against the spread of the deadly pandemic.

Researchers at this biopharmaceutical company administered a first dose of this vaccine to mice in order to verify its safety and its ability to induce a good immune response.

They then took blood samples from the animals 10 days after having vaccinated them.

Analysis of these blood samples revealed that “the vaccine has boosted the production of a good level of antibodies,” according to Medicago’s senior director of scientific and medical affairs Nathalie Charland.

“Depending on the dose and formulation administered, the antibody level was 100 to 10,000 times higher than before vaccination,” Charland reveals.

“The positive data that has been collected to date, as well as that which will be collected following the booster dose, helped us to build a case to present to Health Canada, and the FDA in the U.S., in order to get permission to conduct clinical trials in humans,” Charland says.

While the company is naturally cautious about jumping to any conclusions about the prospective vaccine’s viability for human use, Medicago says its has the capacity to produce up to 100 million doses of the vaccine annually by the en of 2021 in the event its vaccine proves effective.

As Medicago’s executive vice-president of operations Michael Schunk states, “We are working hard to increase our capacity by an additional 20 million doses in Canada and 100 million doses in North Carolina by 2022, before the completion of our main facility in Quebec in 2023, which is expected to be capable of producing more than one billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine annually.”

Producing such a vaccine in a factory environment naturally requires state-of-the-art equipment that will ensure the optimal safety of people receiving such a product—containing not even a single microgram of exogenous material—even at the testing level.

So when the time cam for Medicago to acquire a new filler for its vaccine vials, the evaluation criteria was exceptionally strict and the selection process was rigorous beyond compare.

“When we choose equipment, we make sure that it meets strict safety criteria so that we can be sure that each dose of vaccine we produce is completely harmless,” says Alexandre Tremblay, senior analyst for industrial processes at Medicago.

As Tremblay explains, Medicago wanted to obtain high-speed production equipment that makes it possible to safely package the vaccines it intends to make available to the public, with the most total assurance that the company has everything possible done to offer an immaculately safe product.

“When we started our selection process, we first listed our technical requirements,” Tremblay states.

“Among other things, we were looking for very flexible equipment which capable of producing to our satisfaction both small and large volumes of vaccines,” says Tremblay.

“With doses ranging in volume size from two milliliters up to 150-ml, we were looking for equipment adapted to today’s technological reality.

“We therefore compared both European and North American equipment, bearing in mind all these criteria of capacity, flexibility and technology, as well as cost, and, if possible, a local manufacturer.”

After a rigorous selection process, Medicago settled on the leading-edge pharmaceutical packaging equipment manufactured by the highly reputable Montreal-based packaging machinery manufacturer Capmatic Ltd.

Founded in Milan in 1964 by local Italian engineer Lavinio Bassani, Capmatic relocated to Montreal in 1979 after its founder fell in love with the city while introducing his company’s European technology to the North American market at a major industrial exhibition.

Announcing its arrival in sensational style —winning gold medals in the pharma, cosmetic and diagnostics categories—the family-owned business soon embarked on a path of robust manu-

facturing expansion on a truly global scale.

In addition to growing its new Montreal headquarters and central manufacturing facility, the company also expanded its manufacturing footprint over the years by opening up another manufacturing facility in California and adding a third production plant in Ireland.

Such robust growth steered Capmatic to becoming a formidable global powerhouse in the market for automated packaging systems for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, diagnostics, and food-and-beverage industries.

With the company’s equipment quickly gaining strong reputation for long-life durability, minimum machine manipulation and effortless product handling, Capmatic has virtually

revolutionized the filling, capping and labelling industry with its vast range of proprietary custom-built machinery that has caught the eye of many of the world’s leading Big Pharma companies, including Medicago.

As Tremblay relates, Capmatic simply checked all the right boxes throughout Medicago’s exacting equipment supplier selection process.

“Ultimately, with Capmatic being a Montreal manufacturer of high-end equipment that was also well known to the pharmaceutical industry, it was awarded the contract,” says Tremblay.

Specifically, Medicago opted for a custom-built Capmatic Patriot FSA filler assembled at Capmatic’s facility in time for this summer’s testing trials.

With decades of experience, I’ll help you select the very best packaging solution for your product. Are you ready to produce the perfect package? Let me show you how.”

“If the heart of the filler is the same as the standard products that Capmatic offers, then we know we can produce without ever compromising our quality,” Tremblay states.

“Of course, we have asked for a few modifications so that the machine meets all of our needs exactly.”

As Capmatic’s project coordinator Maria Di Fulvio recalls, “Medicago was looking for a flexible filler, made of 100-percent superior-grade stainless steel, capable of achieving a variety of filling volumes and capable of packaging various-sized vials.

“Being a well-established Quebec manufacturer, in business for 55 years, was surely a big asset for us as well,” Di Fulvio states.

“The fact that we often work with customers in the pharmaceutical sector was also decisive, as we truly understand the needs of this very demanding clientele,“ she sates.

“We are used to receiving specific technical requests to build custom equipment, and as a result we are constantly updating our equipment, so that it exactly matches the specifications of our customers.”

As a major brand in Capmatic’s expansive product portfolio for several years, the highly versatile Patriot brand fillers have already been installed by numerous customers across a broad range of industries, according to Capmatic.

Featuring a compact linear platform with single indexing, recognized for the versatility of its operation, the Patriot is a complete multi-station monoblock machine that can be equipped with a wide range of filling, capping, sealing/crimping and labeling systems to provide a turnkey packaging solution that meets all the FDA requirements and follows all the cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines.

Offering the choice of inline or rotary filling operation, depending on the user’s needs, the Patriot can fill up to 60 vials per minute, according to Capmatic.

At the heart of the machine, the Patriot’s patented STEELHEART filling station is designed to ensure zero risk of crosscontamination, enhanced with innovative diving nozzles for a fully optimized filling cycle.

Says Di Fulvio: “With Capmatic’s confidence, professionalism and sought-after experience, our record of delivering highperformance equipment adapted for our diverse clients’ tailored needs is flawless.

“We at Capmatic truly believe that the impossible is always possible when we put our hearts and minds to it.”

FROM FARM TO TABLE

Upstart cereal and flour producer combines food and marketing innovation with robust X-Ray product inspection technology to rule out third-party food contamination risks

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

PHOTOS BT NAOMI HILTZ

Combining great taste, texture and flavor with sound nutrition and healthy dieting is a noble triumph for chefs of all levels of seniority, experience and pedigree. And it’s even more remarkable to be able to share the fruits of such labor with the world by using e-commerce giants like Amazon, Shopify and other leading etailers offering highly innovative food brands that simply can’t be found at traditional brick-and-mortar supermarkets and grocery stores—intentionally so. Food brands like the Farm Girl range of lowcarb, low-sugar, high-fiber, high-protein cereals and baking mixes developed by Peter Adamo, a former professional chef and sommelier with vast experience at upscale restaurants in New York, Los Angles and, until about two years ago, head chef for the aforementioned Shopify e-commerce juggernaut.

While being responsible for all meal preparation in staff cafeteria kitchens at Shopify’s fast-growing operations in Toronto, Kitchener and Waterloo, Ont., was a rewarding professional experience, it did not offer the work-balance equilibrium Adamo craved to spend more time with his toddler daughter and his loving wife, who was sadly diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at a relatively young age of 30.

As it turned out, Adamo found inspiration in tragedy to drive his quest to create new meal solutions that would address the nutritional needs of millions of North American consumers facing similar chronic health challenges and predicaments, including Chrone’s disease and cancer.

Which is exactly what he did a couple of years ago by founding and incorporating Farm Girl Inc. in Mississauga, Ont., inside a modest 5,000-square-foot industrial shop to bring his ideas to life by leveraging his Michelin level culinary skills and deep knowledge of food science and weight management.

“Farm Girl is a reflection of my life growing up in rural Ontario with immigrant Italian parents,” says the affable 42-year-old entrepreneur driven by pursuit excellence in all his professional and personal endeavors.

“We produce innovative food products that use the latest Michelin star techniques in combination with an ingredient-focused mindset,” adds Adamo, whose natural thirst for knowledge has earned him a bachelor in economics degree the University of Toronto; an MBA at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland; and formal international sommelier accreditation from the Sommelier Society of America in New York City.

Moreover, his work experience at Shopify provided an ideal learning platform for mastering the art and science of online digital marketing and merchandising that underpins his company’s sensational entry into the growing market for nutritional dietary products.

“We will soon be expanding our production space to 10,000 square feet and adding some more automation to help us meet the surging demand for our products,” Adamo told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview in late July. “Our value proposition is all about delivering low-carb products that deliver on taste and texture with ‘clean label’ ngredients.”

Currently offering 16 SKUs (stock-keeping units) of Health Canada- and FDAapproved low-carb products marketed under the Farm Girl brand label, the 10-employee operation is looking forward to boosting its production schedule to 18-hourday, six-days-week schedule to keep its e-commerce customers well-stocked with its highly sought-after food innovations formulated for strict compliance with core Keto Diet principles and guidelines for effective weight loss.

“Our most popular products are our sugar-free cereals and gluten-free baking

mixes,” says Adamo, singling out the Farm Girl Pizza Mix—containing 85 per cent less carbs than traditional white dough—as a current bestseller, along with Farm Girl Low Carb Granola cereals.

As Adamo relates, about one-third of his plant’s output is distributed through Shopify, with Amazon accounting for another 25 per cent and other direct channel markets like Clickfunnels and Clickbank accounting for the remainder. While more than half of the company’s online sales are currently in Canada, Adamo expects the U.S. to become the leading geographic market by the end of the year, which is when he also expects to expand Farm Girl’s online market reach into Europe.

“Our success has been driven by our understanding of changing landscape of on-

FOOD SAFETY

line channel sales and knowing how to take advantage of the current privacy laws that govern online ecommerce,” he relates. “The sole reason I went the e-commerce route was being able to make contact with the consumers directly.

“Using online distribution channels have allowed our website to build up an email base of more than 25,000 people who are currently on low-carb diets. “Knowing what you’re doing online can be extremely advantageous,” says Adamo, citing the 50 to 100 emails he gets each day from consumers across North America commenting on Farm Girl brand products.

The flipside of being a purely online play, according to Adamo, is that just one unfortunate incident involving a contaminated or otherwise unsafe product can be absolutely catastrophic to a brand’s reputation and market accessibility.

As he explains, “Dealing with natural ingredients means that foreign object contamination from stones, ceramics, glass, etc., is always a risk, and the consequences can be devastating.

“Companies like Amazon set their own recall procedures outside of the FDA or CFIA jurisdiction,” Adamo relates, “and if there is a food safety problem with some of the product they carry, it takes only a few keystroke for them to wipe that product line off their inventory.”

In fact, Farm Girl has experienced a close call earlier this year when it got an email from a consumer claiming that a bag of Farm Girl cereal was found to have a piece of broken glass in it—prompting Adamo launch a thorough investigation of how this could have happened.

“We are a glass-free facility,” he states. “The only place there could be glass would be in our lunchroom, which is separated from the production area, and all our lights inside the plant have shatterproof construction— specifically for that reason.

“Not knowing where that glass came from was probably the scariest aspect of the whole thing,” recalls Adamo, who immediately reached out to his supplier base to get to the bottom of the problem.

While the following vetting process did narrow the possible scenarios down, Adamo used the whole inci-

dent as a wake-up call for Farm Girl to immediately upgrade its product inspection capabilities, which until then mostly relied on a metal detector.

Without hesitation, Adamo began looking for an effective X-Ray product inspection solution that would provide optimal foreign object detection capabilities for all products coming off his plant two production lines, one for cereals and the other for flour mixes.

“I did a lot of online searching and researching, including watching a lot of YouTube videos showing different manufacturers’ X-Ray systems in action,” recalls Adamo, who ultimately decided to approach local XRay inspection experts at Loma Systems (Canada) Ltd., Oakville, Ont.-based subsidiary of U.K.-headquartered group Loma Systems Limited

“Making this investment, I was determined to acquire the best of the best systems available,” Adamo relates, “and based on what I saw during my research, Loma seemed to offer the most appropriate solutions for my needs.

“The fact that Loma also has a local sales and technical team to provide whatever services I may need was also an important selection factor,” he adds.

“We were very happy to help Farm Girl with their product inspection needs,” recalls Andrew Stewart, Loma Systems regional sales manager for Ontario.

“They needed an economical solution in a short time-frame and Loma had the right product at the right price point,” says Stewart, who recommended the highperformance Loma X5C X-Ray system as the most suitable quality control solution for the plant’s application requirements and tight space restrictions.

Despite the compact dimensions, with one-meter machine length, the compact Loma X5C is designed to ensure powerful CCP (Critical Control Point) detection capabilities, and the system’s durable construction—a key feature of the company’s Designed to Survive product design philosophy—makes it one of the toughest systems in the market, according to Loma Systems.

Designed to detect all types of metal (stainless steel, ferrous and non-ferrous), bone, glass or dense plastics, the X5C can also be used for basic product integrity tests (missing items, object checking, fill level, etc.)

According to Stewart, “ The X5C is especially good at inspecting products packaged in foil or heavy metallized film packaging, while overcoming the problems with ferrous particles in foil metal detectors.

“It is an ideal replacement for poorly performing metal detectors.”

Designed for new users of X-ray technology, the X5C system features a simplified, yet powerful inspection feature set, plug-and-play installation and software, reliable inspection capabilities and low ongoing running costs, according to Loma.

“We were able to get an X5C shipped and running

at the Farm Girl plant inside of a week,” says Stewart, complimenting Adamo for his system selection.

Says Stewart: “Even with a thoroughly modern production environment, the potential for contaminants to enter through raw material supplies always exists— making it essential for manufacturers to inspect their final product to ensure consumer safety.

“Previously this meant metal detection, but with its compact size and attractive price point, the Loma X5C has brought X-ray inspection technology, previously the domain of only the largest manufacturers, into reach for small and medium-sized producers.

“Not only can X-ray inspection detect metals better than a metal detector in most cases,” he says, “it also provides the huge added benefit of detecting other contaminants like glass, ceramic and stones—enabling even boutique and artisanal manufacturers to bring their food inspection technology into ‘Big Leagues’.” Installed at the end-of-line area of the plant to inspect every single stand-up pouch of Farm Girl product prior to packing for distribution, the Loma X5C has already basically paid for itself in the three months since its arrival by detecting several foreign objects that found their way into the some of the raw ingredients shipped to the plant from offshore suppliers, according to Adamo.

“In one instance, it was able to detect a piece of coconut shell, big enough to potentially break someone’s tooth, traced to a shipment of shredded coconut received from the Philippines,” says Adamo.

“You can imagine my relief,” he says. “Having this technology on the line really provides us with a whole new level of confidence in the safety of our products, and that’s a tremendous benefit.

“I am very impressed by its ability to handle a varying degree of densities in the product and its ability to learn new products.

“We have found the system very straightforward and our staff have found the machine very easy to operate,” states Adamo, saying he’s looking forward to seeing the X5C running at even greater processing speeds after the pending facility expansion and other equipment upgrades.

“This was a key long-term strategic investment for us,” Adamo concludes, “and I couldn’t be more pleased. I made it a point to get the best X-Ray solution I could get for my needs, and that’s exactly what I got with the Loma X5C X-Ray system.”

FROM UNDER LOCK AND KEY

Storied Canadian pizza franchise unlocks a wealth of packaging design innovation with revolutionary new tamperproof pizza box design

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

When Toronto-based Pizza Pizza Ltd. first started delivering its fresh, hot, delicious oven-baked creations to Canadians’ homes, it was literally a case of love at first bite that, some 50 years later on, has blossomed into an enduring love affair like few others in the history of home food delivery.

Founded by industry legend Michael Overs, who opened the storied chain’s first location on December 31, 1967, at the corner of Wellesley and Parliament Streets in downtown Toronto, the company has used various innovative marketing techniques to fuel its growth over the years—becoming the first quick-service operator to use a centralized phone number, the happy-rhyming 967-1111, and humorous radio advertising to become a household name around Toronto, Ontario and, by the turn of the century, right across Canada.

Nowadays operating over 750 franchise locations around the country in every province, the beloved chain remains a widely respected industry leader that continues to win over the consumers’ hearts and minds with breakthrough consumercentric innovations like the recently launched Tamper Proof Pizza Box

JUST IN TIME

Making its commercial debut in mid-March just as the current COVID-19 pandemic forced huge swaths of the Canadian economy to shut down in face of an public health crisis, the new locking Pizza Pizza boxes were just what the doctor ordered to reassure spooked Canadian consumers that the public’s understandable concerns over the safety of their food were well looked after.

In addition to implementing a strict companywide hygienic protocol requiring frequent hand washing and sanitation, hands-free meal preparation,

and regular sanitation of all surfaces inside the restaurants and company-operated delivery vehicles, the new tamperproof boxes provided Canadian consumers with priceless peace-of-mind regarding the safety of their delivered pizza pies.

As it happened, the timing of the pandemic’s enormous impact on the restaurant industry coincided with the launch of Pizza Pizza’s own nationwide ‘Delivery Done Better’ marketing campaign created “to remind customers the benefits of ordering from a reliable brand that’s been delivering pizza for over 50 years,” explains Pizza Pizza’s creative director Raymond Luk, who has played a key role in many of the company’s memorable marketing and merchadising innovations his 27 years of working at the family-owned company.

As Luk relates, the idea for the new tamperproof continers was already being developed in collaboration with Toronto-based boxmaker Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd.—incredibly Pizza Pizza’a exclusive box supplier for nearly 35 years—months before the coronavirus outbreak.

But with looming threat of the full-pandemic crisis quickly developing into a sad reality, Pizza Pizza felt compelled to accelerate this vital product development project to unprecedented turnaround levels in order to get the tamperproof boxes out to consumers in time for the prolonged lockdowns and strict social-distancing measures being enforced across Canada.

“It suddenly became a real critical rush job,” recalls Darren Webb, national sales manager with Atlantic Packaging’s Corrugated Division.

HIGHER GEAR

“We really had to step into a higher gear when we were challenged by Pizza Pizza’s purchasing and supply chain director Marcelo Melo to flip the new box design from design stages into a perfectly functioning real package as quickly as possible,” Webb relates.

In addition to perfecting the new box’s unique new locking mechanism that plays the central part in the container’s tamperproof construction, the new design also had to accommodate four different sizes offered by the pizzeria—including small, medium, large and extra-large.

“When you’re talking about making and shipping hundreds of thousands of new boxes per week, the sheer scale of the challenge we faced was pretty intense,” Webb points out.

“Fortunately, a lot of the groundwork for the new tamperproof pizza box was already done,” Webb says, “so we felt pretty confident about meet-

FOOD SAFETY

ing that challenge.”

As it turned out, the full-out production push at three of Atlantic’s Toronto-area production facilities—Scarborough (liner), Scarborough (preprint) and Mississauga (corrugated)—was executed to perfection, enabling Pizza Pizza to launch the new tamperproof boxes on March 18.

According to Luk, the new design was in part inspired by a recent collaboration between Pizza Pizza and Atlantic for the limited-time commemorative boxes celebrating the Toronto Raptors professional basketball team winning the coveted NBA (National Basketball Association) championship last year.

Incorporating special die-cuts, folds and creases, the high-graphics Raptors GameBox containers allowed cusomers to transform the box into a tabletop cardboard basketball court.

“We figured that if we could make a tabletop game out of a pizza box, with no extra components, then integrating a safety mechanism right into the box construction, as opposed to using some sticker-sealing solution, should have beeen within our reach, as well,” Luk states.

Says Luk: “Having worked with Atlantic Packaging for so many years, I know their design team was capable of building a lock for our box.

“We had to make sure it was easy to assemble at the restaurant, stayed locked during delivery, and was easy to unlock by the customer.

“Opening the seal basically destroys the front panel of the box, “ Luk explains, “making it plain to see that the box has been opened.

“This gives both consumers and delivery drivers the confidence that nothing inside that box has been touched by anyone else.”

SEAL THE DEAL

Adds Atlantic Packaging’s Webb: “The really neat quality of this design is that you need to actually destroy the box in order to use it.

“You must break the seal in order to open the box: it’s like the seals applied to the back of tractor trailers delivering food and pharmaceutical products to prevent tampering.

“Not only is the seal built right into the design,” Webb points out, “but it has been achieved without having to add any additional materials.”

As Webb points out, the design changes have had no bearing on the strength, durability, product

protection, or the 100-percent recyclability of the boxes, which are made of 100-percent recycled fibers and printed with vegetable-based inks.

Says Webb: “The creative team at Pizza Pizza have been fantastic to work with.

“They are a very special partner that Atlantic has been proud to serve for 35 years,” Webb extols, “and their creative team was absolutely key to making this project a success.

“It was a great collaboration between our two teams to bring this revolutionary design to market and making it work as well as it has so far.”

Adds Luk: “We did a lot of testing and went through a lot of design reiterations to make sure that the new tamperproof lock would stay sealed during delivery, and the Atlantic team has been instrumental in executing our objectives to perfection.”

“I am very grateful for the patience that the Atlantic designers displayed throughout this extraordinary experience for us,” Luk states.

“With the impact that COVID epidemic had in terms of increasing consumer demand for food deliveries to record levels, we saw a unique opportunity in being the first to market with an innovation that was a perfect fit for today’s ‘New Normal’ reality in the restaurant industry,” Luk asserts.

“Our collaborative partnership with Atlantic Packaging has allowed Pizza Pizza to take our creativity, innovation and market leadership to whole new levels,” Luk concludes.

“We’re delighted to see the box resonate really well with our customers.”

TURNING PACKAGING ON ITS HEAD FOR GOOD JAAN KOEL

Manufacturers continue to make extraordinary efforts to make their products more friendly for consumers and, increasingly, for the environment. A lot of thought has been given to improve product and package quality, ease-of-use, recyclability, improved convenience and, of course, marketability. It’s brilliant when it all clicks together, but frustrating when it falls short, especially when it comes to minimizing product waste.

Increasingly, packages that do an especially good job of limiting product waste are those that literally stand on their head and let gravity do most of the heavy lifting. Most Canadian households have a bottle of body wash, shampoo, or hair conditioner in their showers, or ketchup and mayonnaise in their fridges, that stand upside down. Usually enhanced with broad closures for better balance and stability, such containers are becoming a lot more commonplace across a growing number of product categories, for many good reasons. For example, the 355- ml bottle used for the Pantene PRO-V Daily Moisture Renewal conditioner from Procter & Gamble is a joy to use, fitting just right into the hand, being soft enough to be squeezable, and flowing freely when you open the cap nearly to the last few drops, which can still be salvaged by adding a little water and giving the nearempty bottle a couple of shakes.

refinement in the product waste department. Consisting of baking soda plus a variety of other ingredients—including myrrh, which is a fragrant gum or resin used largely for perfume, incense, and medical products—it really delivers on its promise of great whitening powder, but a steep price. The tiny hole underneath the flip-cap that makes it very hard to dispense the product onto the toothbrush accurately, resulting in a lot of the powder unintentionally ending up in the sink instead.  At $10 per bottle, there must be a better way—maybe a cone-shaped top or something like that—to minimize the waste of this rather pricey white powder.

Conversely, the upside-down plastic jars of Hellmann’s mayonnaise brand from Unilever could really use some structural rethinking. While the beloved Hellmann’s mayo is one of my perennial go-to favorites, the polymer used to package it inside 750-ml upside-down plastic jars seems to have an inordinate amount of rigidity built into it, which prevents it from returning back into its original shape after a few uses. The result is as a deformed-looking package in the fridge that is neither appetizing or easy for the consumer to empty out in full, souring the whole experience. While these bottles look great on the shelf when full and ready to go into your shopping cart, the inevitable disappointment of dealing with a functionally-challenged container well after the purchase leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste in the mouth, which is a real shame for an otherwise highly enjoyable condiment.

The upside-down stuff aside, the little two-ounce flip-cap plastic bottle used to package the Eco-Dent Extrabrite tooth powder brand can also use some

The has been so much talk about the need to wear masks during the seemingly endless COVID-19 contagion, that people may be overlooking the importance of another critical safety deterrent—gloves. Lots of people, especially those in the medical, pharmaceutical, foodservice, law enforcement, and other industries wear disposable gloves daily as a matter of course regardless of the added urgency caused by coronavirus, but for many others, this should also become a routine habit in these crazy times. While the clear and white latex gloves are the most commonplace option, people may find it worthwhile to make an effort to acquire gloves made from blue Nitrile material. Whereas latex is made from natural materials that can cause allergic and other toxic reactions in some people, Nitrile is thicker, stronger and completely inert, since it’s made of synthetic rubber. Household goods retailer Home Hardware is right on the ball with this notion—offering 100 Nitrile gloves packed inside convenient pop-up paperboard cartons bearing a striking resemblance to everyday paper tissue boxes. As is often the case, imitation is the best form of flattery.

One of the other hard lessons learned during the COVID-19 crisis is the need to avoid touching your face as much as possible between hand-washing. This is something that is much easier said than done to begin with, and it’s especially difficult for people afflicted with dry eyes or crusting lids. Thankfully, there is a very handy remedy for this dilemma in the form of Systane Eyelid Cleansing Wipes Manufactured by Mississauga, Ont.-based Alcon Canada Ltd., the wipes are individually wrapped in hygienic foil packets—which are meant to be rubbed together before opening to build up lather inside—and packed in attractive, cube-shaped turquoise folding cartons 32 to a box, enough for a month’s supply of soothing daily relief.
