FROM THE EDITOR

Budget marks clear shift in our spending priorities

$280 BILLION

Projected federal deficit growth in the next five years

ith Canadian exports to the U.S. dropping by 4.1 per cent in October, it is becoming clearer by the day that the global trade turbulence unleashed by U.S. tariffs is likely to get worse before it gets better any time soon—for Canada and for much of the rest of the Western World alike. Seeing the share of Canadian goods exported to the U.S. dropping to a multiyear low of 67 per cent during the month is a disheartening indicator for the country’s short-term economic prospects, albeit most of the biggest declines were recorded by primary producers of crude oil (-12.7 per cent), raw aluminum (-35 per cent), and copper wire (-96.8 per cent). But with employment in the automotive and metalworking sectors already in a freefall due to punishing U.S. tariffs, the likelihood of further hollowing out of the Canadian manufacturing sector remains a worrisome possibility. To that end, the 2025 federal budget passed by the House of Commons in November certainly has its heart in the right place at this critical juncture, betting that a massive capital investment spree to build up Canada’s economic infrastructure and military security will inject much-needed fiscal stimuli into the goods-producing economy. It may ultimately not be enough to escape the long-anticipated economic recession, but at the very least, the new budget, titled Building Canada Strong, directly acknowledges the need for greater economic self-reliance going forward. “The 2025 budget is a clear and welcome shift in priorities,” according to the recently renamed Ottawa-based economic think-tank Signal49Research (formerly The Conference Board of Canada). “It takes advantage of Canada’s strong fiscal position in an effort to seize the upheavals in the world’s relationship with the United States,” the report’s authors explain, adding that the new, deficit-financed initiatives are aimed in the right direction.” Some of the key headline-grabbing infrastructure spending include allocating $13 billion to fast-track projects including LNG, nuclear, mining, ports, and high-speed rail, while defence spending will increase by $82 billion to meet NATO benchmarks and strength-

en domestic capabilities. For the hard-hit manufacturing sector, including packaging machinery manufacturers, the new tax incentives to spur productivity via the Productivity Super Deduction and Accelerated Investment Initiative programs promise up to offer 100-percent depreciation for productivity-enhancing investments, aligning Canada’s tax competitiveness with recent U.S. reforms. Specifically, these measures will allow for 100 per cent depreciation schedules for productivity-enhancing capital expenditures—including intangible assets, research and development, manufacturing equipment, and clean energy generation—over the next three years. (See more details on Page 16) For many packaging OEMs looking to diversify their markets, such incentives can make all the difference in the trying times ahead, especially against the backdrop of looming CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement) trade negotiations ahead of the July 1 deadline for forging a new tri-lateral deal. None of this will come free, with the federal deficit expect to balloon by $280 billion over the next five years, with total federal debt rising from 41 to 43 per cent. “However, Canada is in an enviable position compared to other advanced economies,” according to Signal49Research analysts. “Our low debt level relative to the size of the economy means there is more than enough room to absorb the deficit-financed spending without affecting our creditworthiness.” All in all, “The federal government’s 2025 budget shifts gears to a focus on capital spending, away from the Trudeau-era’s prioritization on social programs,” the report points out. “The government hopes this realignment will generate new private sector investment across Canada, boosting growth, employment and productivity,” the report concludes, “but it’s too early to tell if the high costs will pay off in the long run, and whether they will translate into the kind of accelerated growth our country needs.” As always, only time will tell.

Premium tape brand to remove all plastic from its product packaging

Having established itself as a go-to solution for DIY (do-it-yourself) home painters looking for professional results, the FrogTape brand of premium painter’s tape is going through a major packaging upgrade aimed at eliminating all plastic from its product packaging. Starting last fall, the brand’s flagship Multi-Surface and Delicate Surface painter’s tapes have been transitioning from plastic containers to recyclable paperboard packaging

to reinforce the brand’s commitment to sustainability and product innovation. Long known for its distinctive plastic container that stood out on shelves and protected tape edges from damage, FrogTape is now bringing that same level of care and recognition to a more sustainable format. According to the brand, produced by Shurtape Technologies LLC in Hickory, N.C., the switchover will eliminate about one million pounds of plastic annually. Designed with curbside recyclable and FSC

(Forest Stewardship Council)-certified materials (FSC-C154304), the packaging maintains FrogTape’s bold visual identity while offering improved storage and environmental benefits. “From the paper and adhesive we use to the packaging that brings our products to market, we’re taking small steps that add up to a big environmental impact,” said Patti LaPorte, director of product marketing at Shurtape Technologies. “And with this packaging update, consumers can trust that the new paperboard package provides the same protection to the trusted tape edges treated with our patented PaintBlock Technology without sacrificing precision—offering a smarter, more sustainable way to paint. “This packaging evolution is more than a material change: it’s a message.” The new cartons will prominently feature the Signature Series badge, a unifying symbol across FrogTape’s premium offerings, which include Multi-Surface, Delicate Surface and the new Advanced Painter’s Tapes.

Leading ketchup brand launches a fries box for on-the-go enjoyment

While most fry lovers will agree that ketchup and french fries make the perfect pair, many of them will also say that they struggle to enjoy this pairing on-the-go, until now. Last month, global condiments leader Heinz has unveiled a first-of-its-kind fry box (picture above) with a built-in ketchup compartment engineered for dipping. Called HEINZ Dipper, the innovative patent-pending box is already being unveiled at participating restaurants and sports stadiums in 11 countries around the globe, including the U.S. and Canada. “After spotlighting the uncanny resemblance between fry boxes and our iconic ketchup, we wanted to take the next bold step: redesigning the age-old fry box to work even harder for HEINZ lovers everywhere,” says Nina Patel, vice-president of Global Heinz Brand at The Kraft Heinz Company. 6

New waste sorting plant aims to speed up plastics recycling

he drive toward achieving full circularity for plastics continues to gather pace in Europe, with the recent opening of a new plastics recycling plant in Norway being hailed as a major new step forward towards reaching that noble goal. Located just outside of the capital city of Oslo in Holtskogen, the new Områ facility is designated as the country’s national facility for sorting all types of plastic packaging waste—including plastic that previously had no other option than to go to incineration. Jointly owned by leading Norwegian recycling company TOMRA (65 per cent) and plastic recycling consulting group Plastretur (35 per cent), the state-of-the-art facility has the capacity to process

90,000 tonnes of plastic per year, transforming plastic packaging waste into uniform polymer fractions ready for recycling. According to the co-owners, Områ uses advanced sensor-based technology to sort mixed plastic waste into 10 separate monofractions—including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), and others — enabling improved recovery and

increased recycling rates. Aiming to process approximately 80 per cent of Norway’s plastic packaging waste by 2030, the new plant represents one of the most advanced installations of its kind globally. “Områ is more than a facility—it is the missing link in Europe’s circular economy,” says TOMRA’s president and chief executive officer Tove Andersen. “This facility has the capacity to

receive and transform all of Norway’s household plastic packaging waste into recyclable fractions.— closing the loop for plastics. Says Andersen: “It is a cornerstone piece of infrastructure for mixed waste sorting facilities to recover more resources from source-separated material.” Today, only one-third of Norway’s plastic packaging waste is recycled, with the rest being mostly incinerated.

Groundbreaking collaboration yields compostable sachets

n recent years, small sachet formats have received a lot of attention in the media for the environmental challenges that they present. These small plastic envelopes are widely used to dispense condiments, sauces, personal care creams and many other liquid products. While they are convenient for consumers, they are often highlighted for the issues that they create at the end of their life. Estimates suggest that approximatively 855 billion sachets were used globally in 2018. Most of these packs are produced with complex multi-layered packaging that can withstand the nature of the ingredients and preserve the products during the supply chain for their required shelf-life. They are usually produced from three-layer structures includinglayers of polyolefin, aluminium and often polyester, making the

packs extremely difficult to recycle, as the components of the laminate structure not easily separated. Their very small size and the fact that they often remain contaminated by foodstuff after use further add to the difficulties in recycling. To address the issue, U.K.based compostable film producer Futamura worked with German flexible packaging converter Repaq and machinery manufacturer GK Sondermaschinenbau (GKS) to produce a compostable solution for this market segment. While this difficult challenge

CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2026

required multiple repeated attempts to overcome, the three partners were able to launch a fully compostable solution this past summer, incorporating the barrier cellulose NatureFlex film layer from Futamura and another biofilm to provide hermetic seals for the sachet. Capable of wrapping ingredients such as ketchup, mustard, cooking sauces or hand cream, to name a few, the new structure has been certified as compostable both in the industrial and home settings. “This home-compostable liquids sachet packaging is indeed a really exciting launch,” says Futamura’s regional sales manager Joachim Janz. “Ultimately, it means a perfect match to the request for offering a full portfolio of demanding food items to be packed in compostable packaging choices. “Small-portion sachets have always been the tricky ones for recyc-

ling,” Janz points out, "so this success in compostability is good news to be shared." The new compostable packaging structures have been proven to make effective sachet solutions when produced on the newly-designed machinery manufactured by GKS in Arnsdorf, Germany. The demonstration packs confirmed the required shelf-life, with virutally seamless machinability for production at scale, notes GSK’s sales director Nico Merkel. ‘We are very pleased that our machinery has been involved in this project and shown to contribute to the production of these unusual and progressive packaging solutions,” Merkel sates. “It has been a pleasure to produce samples in our facilities and participate in their extensive testing— proving that they can withstand large pressure over long term, with almost no machinery adjustments."

CANADA STRONG! Latest federal budget expands tax credits and incentives to put Canadian manufacturers on stronger fiscal footing hile the federal 2025 federal budget released last November many not have provided the instant stimulus and big-ticket incentives many Canadian manufacturers think they need to protect them from the unfolding economic slowdown, heightened trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainty, the Building Canada Strong document certainly makes a valid effort to help manufacturing companies ride out the early pains caused by the new America Fist realities of our cross-border trade with the U.S. According to the recent Momentum survey conducted among Canadian-based manufacturers by BDO Canada LLP, a major accounting and advisory firm providing a wide range of professional services, auditing, taxation and other and business advisory services, “The 2025 federal budget delivers a clear message to Canadian manufacturing leaders: now is the time to amplify growth investments and leverage the budget’s credits and programs.” According to BDO, less than half of Canadian manufacturers (46 per cent) currently apply for the government grants and incentives for which they are eligible, which is at odds with the “strong investment appetite” among goods-producing industries. According to the BDO findings, these manufacturers can significantly help their cause by taking a close look at the new Productivity Super Deduction measures tabled in the 2025 budget, which include: • Immediate 100-percent firstyear tax write-off for new manufacturing equipment, clean energy assets, and qualifying buildings. • Enhanced cash-flow through the deductions for major investments in the first year, rather than over several years. • Covering new or qualifying buildings used at least 90 per cent for manufacturing, with full de-

According to BDO Canada’s partner for tax credits and incentives Martha Breithaupt, “The Productivity Super Deduction marks a significant shift in how Canadian manufacturers can approach capital investment. “Designed to fuel industry growth and competitiveness, this new federal measure streamlines the path to modernization by making large-scale upgrades and expansions more financially accessible,” Breithaupt states. “By allowing immediate expensing, the Super Deduction lowers the after-tax cost of investing in productivity and capacity, [so that] manufacturers can modernize facilities, upgrade equipment, and expand operations with greater financial flexibility—making it more attractive to invest now than delay.” As Breithaupt points out, this

program is available to manufacturers who are taxpayers purchasing qualifying depreciable property in Canada, primarily for use in manufacturing or processing goods intended for sale or lease within the country. For example, a processing company looking to expand its existing facility—including refurbishing existing structures and/or adding a new extension to the existing site— would be eligible to apply for the Super Deduction incentives for both the refurbishment and the expansion. Likewise, a manufacturer installing new CNC machines can immediately expense them under the Super Deduction provisions, bringing tax savings forward on physical equipment investments. In addition to Super Deduction, the 2025 budget has also updated and enhanced some key existing programs aimed at supporting Canadian manufacturing companies, including: • Raising the SR&ED (scientific research and experimental development) tax credit, including capital expenditures, from $3

million to $6 million—allowing for more mid-sized manufacturers access the 35-percent rate, while also qualifying larger R&D projects. • Expanding investment tax credits eligibility for CT (clean technology) to include biomass and small nuclear power operators. • Expanding CTM (clean technology for manufacturing) to include more eligible critical materials—including antimony, indium, gallium, germanium, scandium—while providing retroactive suppor t for polymetallic mining equipment. • Enhancing the existing business scale-up and productivity grants with additional funding and extended application deadlines to provide more support for highgrowth manufacturers scaling operations and adopting new technologies. • Expanding the CanExport grant program to provide more opportunities for manufacturers to access development grants and diversify markets. For example, manufacturers developing a new product line— such as an advanced mechanical assembly or machine—can leverage the SR&ED tax credit to offset R&D costs. If the company is a zero-emission technology manufacturer (ZETM), then they may also be eligible to receive the 30-percent refundable clean technology manufacturing investment tax credit on equipment to produce ZETM components. Also, manufacturers planning to expand into a new country or region and requiring trade-show presence, client visits, in-market travel, regulatory and label review, and translated marketing materials, while scaling up production at home, can turn to CanExport program to cover up to 50 per cent of eligible export development costs. All in all, “The 2025 federal budget offers Canadian manufacturers a valuable opportunity to accelerate growth and modernize operations,” Breithaupt concludes. “While new and expanded programs have intricate requirements, and determining which incentives align with your priorities can be complex, our team at BDO Canada can help manufacturers navigate their options, identify the most relevant support, prepare the claim, and guide them through the application process.” CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

In many ways, the company's remarkable growth is in many ways a resounding validation Canada’s credentials as a major player in the global packaging machinery marketplace. A little over a year ago, Propack’s many accomplishments in the field of packaging automation were also formally recognized and celebrated with ABB’s Lifetime Achievement Award—making Propack the only Canadian manufacturing company to have received this high honor to date. With such a stellar track record to celebrate and commemorate, the Canadian Packaging magazine recently reached out to the company’s founder and president Chris Follows to reflect on Propack's achievements to date, and its strategies for remaining near or at the front of the pack in the fiercely competitive global marketplace.

Congratulations on your 30th anniversary as a company, and also on receiving the ABB Lifetime Achievement Award. Can you please tell us the story behind this prestigious global recognition? We bought our first ABB robot back in 1998, so back then we were one of their first North American customers. We have purchased a lot of ABB Flexpicker pick-and-place robots over the years since then, and we always very pleased with them. They are really unbelievable m machines offering incredible reliability, which enables us to offer our customers 25,000- and 50,000-hour warranties, which is unheard of. A 50,000-hour guarantees roughly translates into almost 10 years of 24-hours-a-day of

running time, and I personally know of many of our systems with ABB robots with over 100,00 hours of service that still running flawlessly today. Being able to offer such a warranty to our customers really demonstrates the high quality of the machinery we are building here in Beamsville, so getting this ABB award was a nice acknowledgement of our commitment to them over the years. The people at ABB have a similar thought process to ours: never stop pushing to resolve the production challenges our customer may encounter until they are fully satisfied. Hence, our relationship with ABB enables us to be at the leading edge of technology—not the bleeding edge. So while I highly value this recognition as much as I value the many different patents we have earned over the years, most of my satisfaction frankly comes from being on the plant floor and watching our equipment run at extremely high efficiency levels. there any other robot brands Q Are that you deploy in your systems? also work with the Codian roA We botics brand, which was acquired

These are more simplistic robots that allow us to standardize on components, if that’s what the client wants, by using Rockwell Automation control architecture, which is often easer to integrate with the clients’ existing systems. The ABB robots are driven by ABB controllers, and although they are very reliable, you still have to train people on the ABB control system, and you still have to go to ABB for parts, instead of just retrieving standard replacement components from your library. The Codian robots also offer more the washdown environment with their stainless-steel models, and being four-

The ABB robots typically come equipped with a Cognex camera and a special lens to make sure the product is properly identified, picked and placed in a counterflow movement. We also use vision cameras in our product inspection system, barcode inspection systems, and so on. Once they’re properly tuned in for an application, they are extremely reliable. While robotics executes the physical task, vision systems provide the intelligence—enabling product verification, quality screening, and real‑time decision‑making that elevates automation beyond simple pick‑and‑place.

It’s quite a sophisticated line incorporating high-quality checking the quality of the products coming in, and making sure they go through all their paces. If for instance, a robot that pick up a sausage after a bun has not been put into its place upstream, it detect its absence and will not proceed to place the sausage and the egg with a missing bun. We can even use the vision to determine the level of fat in the meat, rejecting those patties that are deemed too fatty by the customer. And although it was not required for this particular application, we could also use the vision to detect color discoloration, if the vision system is not happy with what it sees, that individual piece of meat is removed or further inspection, while the robot goes on picking quality-compliant products. The big thing to keep in mind is that our robots to all this is in under 4°C temperatures, which is an environment where most people generally do not want to work. So by deploying robotics in low‑temperature and ergonomically challenging environments, manufacturers are not only improving throughput and quality, but also materially improving working conditions and long‑term workforce sustainability.

When you have three axes of robots picking and placing things at a rapid pace, it’s a good idea to have enough of a safe zone around the envelope of each robot for full freedom of movement. If space is an issue, there is an option of bringing the robots closer together to have some of them share a common work envelope, which can reduce the footprint considerably, but that means running special collision avoidance programming for those robots, which means that the systems will not be running at its optimal speed. These are all important trade-offs to keep in mind when determining how to do the job most effectively, but generally I like letting the robots move around with full freedom, which also makes it easier to perform any required maintenance without having to take out multiple robots and shutting the system down. I actually like the idea of incorporating an extra maintenance robot into a system, which can be deployed the replace the removed robot with the system still running.

Rather than operating solely as an OEM or integrator, Propack positions itself as a full systems provider— assuming end‑to‑end responsibility for product handling, packaging integration, and line‑level performance guarantees. By being a systems provider, I mean taking over all the primary and secondary packaging phases from the end of the cooling tunnel. We will provide the distribution systems, we’ll provide the flow-wrappers, we’ll provide the secondary packaging— being an LJ series or vision-guided—and we’ll provide the case-packer, if needed. On top of that, and we will provide an entire systems guarantee for the whole line, validated by a four-hour production run meeting at out facility, to achieve the 99-percent-plus line efficiencies we build into our systems. We are competing against some of the largest system providers in the world, so we spend a lot of time in engineering to create lines that are the most efficient lines available in the market, with the lowest cost of product changeover. So if a customer has a problem with a carton closer, let’s say, we have the ability to keep the line running by taking the wrapped product, accumulating it, and then refeeding it back to the system while the carton closer problem is fixed—all without any manual labor or operator intervention.

It was in part driven by the market conditions, whereby the end-user would order a system without investing heavily into their own engineering to design their own systems. So even if a customer has their own engineering, we take full responsibility for everything related to product transfer and movement—from the end of processing right to the case-packing. We also work hard with our business partners to ensure that the machines they provide us for line integration are worldclass quality. For flow-wrapping, for example, we use a lot of machines from Campbell Wrapper Corporation, mostly for our North American customers, as well as flow-wrappers from German company Theegarten-Pactec, for companies looking for a more European design for their flow-wrap packaging lines. We also like to use high-quality case-packers from Massman Automation for our systems. Most of our customers aren’t running one product. They may well be running up to 15 different products on the same line—from three-count carton to 24-count cases and everything in between—so we also work hard to make sure that we’re providing a changeover that is quick, simple and very cost-effective. We also represent a lot of leading processing equipment suppliers, so that we can take on projects that also include bake ovens and cooling tunnels, if requested. For many of the customers we deal with, you only get one chance to get it right to prove yourself as a world-class systems partner.

GIVING THEIR BEST Canadian manufacturer of label applicating systems setting new standards for operational excellence and quick changeovers By George Guidoni, Editor

CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2026

eaching for the stars is easier said than done in any industry, but turning high ambitions into reality was seemingly second nature for a trio of industrious and enterprising Quebec business partners who steered Nita Labeling Systems into an elite manufacturer of cutting-edge label applicating machines, quickly earning global recognition for their technological and operational excellence. Based in the off-island Montreal suburb of Terrebonne on the city’s North Shore, the company’s swift rise through the labeling industry’s ranks offers a compelling testament to the Canadian spirit of innovation, resilience and originality helping the country

continuously reinforce it credentials as one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of high-performance packaging machinery. For Nita, the company’s journey to industry prominence commenced in earnest in 2002, when local entrepreneur and a former senior telecom company executive Normand Lord purchased what was then a small struggling manufacturing operation making plate-turning devices for flexographic presses. With limited growth opportunities due to rapid advances in digital printing technologies making these mechanical devices obsolete, Lord quickly decided to change the company’s focus to the manufacturing of automatic high-speed labeling machines used to apply product labels to various types and sizes of containers of food, beverages, pharmaceutCANADIANPACKAGING.COM

icals, household cleaners, chemicals and many other CPG (consumer packaged goods) products typically filled on highspeed, high-volume packaging lines. To get the ball rolling, Lord hired Nita’s former junior engineer Luc Harvey to oversee the development of the first generation of Nita brand label applicators that would be unlike anything the industry had seen up to that time. “Norm told Luc that he wanted him to build the best labeling system in the world and that he wanted him to be a part of that experience,” recalls Nita Labeling Systems co-owner and head of business development and strategic accounts Ken Hubscher. “For the next three years, Luc worked around-the-clock to build a fully synchronized servo labeling system, which was almost unheard of at the time in North America,” says Hubscher, a life-long entrepreneur who joined Nita 13 years ago to take charge of its marketing and sales activities.

"Being servo-synchronized, it got a lot of people interested in this whole new cool technology. That's when people really started paying attention."

Nita Labeling Systems minority co-owner Ken Hubscher joined the innovative Montreal-based label applicating systems manufacturer 13 years ago.

By 2008, Nita was able to debut its first-generation label applicator at the PACK East trade show in New York City, with Normand and Luc proudly touting their breakthrough servo technology offering a multitude of new opportunities to improve labeling performance and productivity. “It was a very rudimentary looking labeling machine,” Hubscher notes, “but being fully servo-synchronized it got a lot of people at the show interested in this whole new cool technology. “That’s when people really started paying attention to what Nita was doing,” Hubscher states. With the new technology platform in place, Nita started producing its branded labelers in small quantities, Hubscher recalls, slowly expanding its client base annually for the next four years. That all started to change beyond recognition soon after Hubscher joined the company in 2013, becoming a minority stakeholder and initiating an aggressive new marketing stratJanuary/February 2026 · CANADIANPACKAGING

egy centered around the inherent benefits of the company’s unique servo-controlled labelers and innovative operating software to run them. According to Hubscher, the rapport and teamwork between the three co-owners generated a flood of new ideas and concepts to propel Nita to the next level of growth in a surprisingly short time-frame. “When I joined Nita in 2013, I was only the 12th person hired by Normand since he bought the company,” and since then the company has grown at levels that are hard to describe. We’re talking exponential growth in staff, revenues, and by any other measure. “Counting our acquisition of Shorewood Packaging a year ago, we now employ nearly 100 people today,” he points out, “and the combined revenues of the two companies are now nearly 15 times more than when I started.” As Hubscher points out, strong leadership and management skills have been key to the company’s remarkable growth in market share and industry stature. “I am normally the loudest guy in the room,” he quips, “Luc is the smartest, and Normand was the charismatic visionary that kept pushing Nita on to new heights. Says Hubscher: “Imitation may the best form of flattery, but we had noticed some other competitors literally copying what we were doing with our technology and marketing for our third-generation machines. "So back in 2015, Norm, Luc and I decided to completely change the game by not just making better systems, but making system that are beyond the reach of anything else out there.” This dogged pursuit of excellence laid foundation for the development of state-of-the-art NITA 4.0 IOT software, released in 2018, that enables users to maximize their machine time with features like: • The Pro-Active Self-Diagnosing system, which combines cyclical monitoring of wear parts and drive and motor feed-

The system ensures optimal belt tension, drive roller torque and power loads throughout operation and offers in-screen remedy video tutorials to mitigate downtime. • The Scheduled Preventative Maintenance system, featuring an intuitive in-screen tiled dashboard recommending daily, weekly and monthly maintenance tasks, with each one demonstrated via detailed, high-resolution ‘how-to’ videos and offering full reporting downloadable via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or a built-in OPC/UA. • In-Screen Parts Inquiring, a super-intuitive, interactive navigation menu allowing parts to be listed and requested via a precise, drill-down 3D drawing component menu. • Powerful SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software allowing for real-time display of OEE (operational equipment effectiveness) and other critical data such as uptime, downtime, and container and label usage via the HMI (human-machine interface) dashboard, running on the Windows 10 operating system. • Nita Total Replication Changeover system, allowing users to replicate set-ups in minutes using stored values in the HMI that relate to color and letter-coordinated locations on the machine, aided by built-in demo videos and 3D images to help locate the adjustment points. More automated digital and servo axis options further enhance the speed and accuracy of product changeovers. Says Hubscher: “Applying a label is not the secret sauce for our labelers; we have over 50 competitors around the world who can apply a label. “For us it’s all about uptime. We asked one question, ‘What causes downtime?,’ and then we answered it with incredibly advanced and intuitive productivity software and unrivaled aftercare support,” he states. “Uptime is the fundamental reason for our company’s existence,” Hubscher asserts, citing the high level of craftsmanship CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

"Uptime is the fundamental reason for our company's existence. Our labelers are built for the 'real world,' and they are deignd to last."

and rugged design that enables superior performance even in the most challenging industrial environments. “Our industrially tough labelers are built for the ‘real world’ production environment,” he says, “and they are designed to last. “Everything on our machines is made from 304 stainless steel and heavy-duty anodized aluminum, with IP 65-rated protection levels to make them water- and dust-resistant. “These are not cheap machines,” Hubscher continues. “These are heavy-duty, high-end, high-tech, high productivity labeling systems built to empower operators, line managers, plant managers, technicians and maintenance people to control their own destiny with the tools that create repeatability, dependability and productivity. “These are beyond catchwords,” Hubscher proclaims. “It’s the reason we exist.” Having already doubled the size of its manufacturing facility to 20,000 square feet just five years ago, Nita has recently maxed out its production capacity at the building, setting stage for a

pending move to a brand new 40,000-square-foot building, also located in Terrebonne, to expand its operations further. Since Quebec-based private equity firm Phoenix Partners acquired a majority ownership stake in the company in 2022, Nita has greatly benefited from the access to financial backing and sharp business acumen Phoenix provided allowing it to continue its robust new product development activities. This access to additional capital resources has also enabled Nita to expand its manufacturing footprint in the U.S. through the 2024 acquisition of Shorewood Engineering Inc.,a Minnesota-based manufacturer of high-speed, pressure-sensitive rotary labeling equipment. “We purchased Shorewood because their products are a perfect complement to the type of clientele that we serve—high production, typically large throughput industrial lines,” Hubscher explains. “And although our Nita inline systems are designed for and can handle extreme high-speed applications, incorporating great product handling features, there are times when a rotary labeler is simply a better solution compared to an inline machine,” he continues. “By purchasing Shorewood, we acquired an established line of high-quality, industrial-grade, rough-and-tough pressure-sensitive labeling machines based on a servo technology that is very similar to ours.” As Hubscher relates, being the first labeler manufacturer in North America to incorporate all-servo synchronized technology into its equipment had provided Nita with an important competitive advantage that still pays off big dividends for the compny and its customers today. Says Hubscher:“Nita’s all-servo technology, ultra-rugged build quality and class-leading productivity software all result in offering serious manufacturers the opportunity to maximize their uptime and empower themselves to maintain unheard of profitability and efficiency numbers vis-à-vis a labeling system.” January/February 2026 · CANADIANPACKAGING

COVER STORY

As Hubscher proclaims, “The Nita machines are the most intuitive and simple to operate labelers available in the world. “Furthermore, the unique changeover systems employed by Nita enable any operator to enact a quick and seamless changeover in a fraction of the time it would take on any other machine. “The software that guides the operators through the process basically allows for a ‘color by number’ approach that matches up values in the screen with colors and stations around the machine,” he reiterates. “As such, Nita has achieved the ultimate objective of turning turn anyone into a ‘super-operator,’ whereby the all-servo synchronization married to the HMI’s productivity software allows for extensive on-the-fly digital micro-adjustments that take all operator guessing out of the game. “Moreover, the highly versatile and flexible machines easily adapt to different label and container sizes, shapes, and application styles (top, side, front, wrap-around, etc.) with minimal changeovers, Hubscher states, “vastly reducing downtime.” The company’s core product portfolio currently comprises three major fifth-generation product lines, including: • The XP series of turnkey systems for front and back, wrap, tapered side, muti-panel and pail labeling applications; • The Joust range of top-and-bottom, 360-degree banding, C-shape, bags and flat object labeling systems. • Various models of stand-alone tamp-blow, wipe-on and print-and-apply labelers. As Hubscher explains, all Nita-made labelers are designed for fast and easy integration with the end-users’ existing product coding and marking systems with minimal process interruption. Says Hubscher: “It all starts with our 100-percent servo-controlled labeling technology, which eliminates the need for PLCs (programmable logic controllers), microprocessor boards, proprietary electronics and many other external components. “We have built strong relationships with a multitude of other OEMs (original equipment manufacturers),” he adds, “and we work with a lot of engineering and integration firms that actually choose Nita as their labeling equipment of choice in their projects. “We also have trained technicians across the country, in the U.S. and now in Mexico, who have access to every one of the thousands of Nita machines out in operations, from the fourth generation on, through our Internet log-in,” Hubscher expands. “But above all, what I think really separates us from the competition is our commitment to keeping our customers

While nearly 80 per cent of all labeling equipment sold by Nita to date has historically been exported to the U.S., the company is eager to expand its Canadian customer base in coming years, according to Hubscher, capitalizing on the ongoing removal of interprovincial trade barriers and the general “Buy Canadian” sentiment gathering steam across the country’s manufacturing landscape. “This year, we have put a huge effort into our Canadian growth,” says Hubscher, “and we are already seeing a shift in the numbers. “We are at about 70-30 split between exports and domestic shipments now,” Hubscher notes, “despite seeing our U.S. sales continue to grow in double digits. “We are really concentrating on adding more Canadian clients,” he reveals, “and we have restructured our entire Canadian sales operation to continue this growth. “We take a lot of pride in making the most advanced and rugged labeling systems in the world,” Hubscher concludes, “and we want to ensure that all Canadian manufacturers have ready access to Nita—the easiest to operate, fastest to change over, and simplest to maintain labelers in North America, being built right here in Quebec.”

THE HOME STRETCH Leading Canadian packaging machinery and supplies distributor leverages hands-on collaboration to launch innovative breakthrough solutions into the market By George Guidoni, Editor

CANADIANPACKAGING · January/February 2026

ome packaging distributors are renowned for their knowledge of packaging machinery, some excel at packaging materials and consumables, and some pride themselves on outstanding service. And while there’s a lot to be said for being good at any one of these core competencies, there is no substitute for continuously striving to be best-in-class in each of these areas to offer end-use customers superlative value propositions and solutions that are bigger than the sums of their parts. Founded in 1963 In London, Ont., Crawford Packaging’s rise to industry prominence as an elite supplier of innov-

ative customized packaging solutions was emphatically underscored about a year ago with the opening of a brand new Automation Experience Centre in Mississauga, Ont.—a multipurpose facility dedicated to equipment test runs, live demonstrations, hands-on customer training, and continuous research and innovation in the field of packaging automation. As such, the 40,000-square-foot facility is a frequent meeting place for leading packaging machinery OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and materials suppliers to collaborate on new projects and technological advances with input from Crawford’s exceptionally knowledgeable staff eager to share their collective expertise across the packaging value chain with their cusCANADIANPACKAGING.COM

tomers and business partners alike. “We have always differentiated ourselves by having a complete tie-in between equipment, consumables and service, making us probably the only distribution company in Canada to do all three of those at a high level,” Crawford’s EPS (equipment, parts and services) director Jason Varga told Canadian Packaging during a recent visit to the Mississauga facility. “This approach goes back many years ago,” Varga explains, “but eventually we ran into some challenges providing all these things from separate locations dedicated to either equipment, consumables or service. “But since we opened up this new building, it quickly became our flagship location, where our clients and our equipment partners come to train, see live demos, test their products, and see cutting-edge automation equipment in action,” Varga relates. “It’s been a real game-changer for us,” says Varga, comparing the site to a year-round live trade show exhibit of the broad range of packaging solutions distributed by Crawford Packaging throughout major Canadian markets. “What we have essentially built is our own dynamic trade show experience whenever we need it, with the ability to invite our partners to collaborate in a one-of-a-kind facility without the inconveniences and hassles of traveling to a trade show or OEM facility,” Varga elaborates. “It also serves as a demo center, whereby our clients can bring their products and run them on two, three or more different pieces of equipment to identify the best packaging solution for their needs,” says Varga. “This way, they can see with their own eyes what the final packaging will look like coming off different machines,” Varga points out, “which is a pretty rare thing in the distribution business.” In addition to representing several leading international CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

Ayer’s Cliff, Que., (part of the Duravant family of companies of Chicago) and plastic stretch film manufacturer Sigma Stretch Film Canada, a division of Sigma Plastics Group of companies operating in Belleville, Ont. In late fall, Crawford Packaging hosted a comprehensive training session at its Automation Experience Center, bringing together partners Wulftec and Sigma for hands-on testing and demonstrations of optimized load containment solutions. The collaborative initiative showcased Wulftec’s advanced automatic stretchwrapping technology, integrated with a strapping machine in a one-step, one-pass system, all operated via a single control cabinet and HMI (human-machine interface). This set-up allowed synchronized operation of both machines in a compact, space-saving footprint. Through this process, Crawford’s team gained deeper insights into equipment and film performance, enabling the delivery of bestin-class, customized solutions. This approach forms the foundation of Crawford’s corporate value proposition, embodied in its Wrap-It-Right pillar—a commitment to helping customers to “Do It Right.” By combining industry-leading equipment and film with Crawford’s in-house technical expertise, the company ensures customers achieve measurable improvements including reduced waste, increased productivity, minimized damages, lowered material consumption, reduced labour requirements, and improved throughput. The focus is not merely on selling

products; it’s about delivering customized, fully optimized solutions that perform in real-world operating environments. As Crawford’s general sales manager Carey Berdock explains, this collaborative process with manufacturers provides a strategic advantage by enabling the team to gain first-hand insights through testing different films, running varied loads, and identifying process improvements. “This approach strengthens Crawford’s ability to engineer industry-leading, fully optimized solutions that align with its mission to deliver the best possible outcomes for customers” says Berdock. Cam Small, Crawford’s equipment sales manager, lauds the modularity of Wulftec’s machine design that allows for its stand-alone equipment to be merged into a holistic turnkey solution for effective load containment for palletized multilayered stacks of in-transit products. “It can be custom-built by Wulftec to suit the end-user’s throughput requirements based on the weight of the loads, throughput velocity, containment capabilities, etc.,” Small says, “and the whole systems is scalable to go from 40 up to 140 loads per hour,” Small points out. “It all depends on the required throughput and the type of loads that the customer needs to manage,” he explains, “which determines whether we use a rotary-arm stretchwrapper, a turntable model, a full- automatic or a semi-automatic machine. “With Wulftec’s plug-and-play machines, CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

"Right now we are the only ones to manufacture both strapping and wrapping systems under the same roof, and controlling both the strapper and the stretchwrapper from the same control panel." we can scale up or scale down the final load containment workcell to whatever configuration best meets the user’s needs, which Wulftec would then erect at their Quebec manufacturing facility and factory-test it for final user acceptance before delivery.” While the robust system may not be for everyone, it can provide significant time and cost savings for high-speed production lines churning out large volumes of product on continuous basis. “It is typically the very large, multishift operations that would derive the most benefit from such a fully automated system,” Small states. Having worked at Wulftec for over 30 years, the company’s Canada sales rep Michel Rouleau says the company has been enjoying double-digit growth in the sales of its strapping systems since it started manufacturing them about eight years ago. By providing a secondary level of load containment and stability for transported pallets, combining the two technologies can enable users to benefit from significant savings in the amount of stretch film they use per load, he explains, as well as being able to use lighter-gauge films. “Right now we (Wulftec) are the only ones to manufacture both strapping and wrapping under the same roof, and controlling both the strapper and the stretchwrapper from the same control panel with just one user-friendly interface,” says Rouleau. “This saves companies a lot of valuable floorspace and facilitates enabling a faster ROI (return-on-investment), because they don’t have to handle the same pallet twice.” As Rouleau relates, Wulftec’s expertise in machine customization has enabled the company to grow its strapping business year over year, offering endusers a broad range of system accessories and value-added custom features that can handle a broad assortment of strapping materials in a wide range of thicknesses and size dimensions to handle all types of loads and stacking patterns. Says Rouleau : “We can put two loads on top of each other and then wrap them and strap them together as one,or we can wrap/strap one from the bottom and CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

another from the top separately, at the same time. “We can also handle irregular-shaped and mixed loads that are not layered into a perfect cube,” Rouleau points out. “As the supply chains keep getting leaner and just-in-time shipments be-

come more prevalent, customization of load containment machinery becomes an important factor in providing operational flexibility our customers need to ensure optimal load containment at the lowest cost per pallet,” Rouleau states. This emphasis on cost reduction is

"Ensuring that the end-user is applying the right amount of film is the greenest solution out there." also a major focus for Sigma Stretch Film Canada, leading Canadian manufacturer of stretch film whose business relationship with Crawford Packaging goes back at least 20 years, according to Sigma’s Canadian Director of sales Bruce Cameron. “All of our films are designed and engineered to ensure that the right mix of resins go into that film, such that when they’re optimized on the right piece of automation, they deliver the containment solution that uses not too much and not too little film to contain the load, so that the load arrives at its point of destination in the ‘like new’ condition it was at the point of origin,” Cameron states. “We are happy to work with Wulftec through our partnership with Crawford Packaging," Cameron says, “which built a unique value proposition around the marriage of our engineered film to Wulftec’s automation offerings, combined with the stellar installation and the after-sales support that Crawford provides in the marketplace.” As Cameron points out, the lion’s share of film manufactured at the Belleville plant is sold into the Canadian marketplace, which he estimates at about 150 million pounds of film annually by volume. “There are about 300 million pallets of all kinds of product moving throughout Canada each year,” he says, “with each pallet containing about a half pound of stretch film on average. “So, it’s a big enough market to enable our Belleville facility to concentrate exclusively on industrial stretch film,” 32

Teams from Wulftec and Sigma Stretch Film gather around the Wulftec combination machine during a test run to get a feel for its powerful capabilities. states Cameron, adding that a large portion of the raw materials (resins) used to make the film is also sourced within Canada. As Cameron relates, Sigma is making a concerted effort to enhance the circularity of its plastic film, having launched a new range of high-quality films with significant PCR (post-consumer recycled) content, “but the most important thing we can do is ensure that the end-users are using the right amount of film to contain their load,” he asserts. “Out of the three Rs of recycle, reuse and reduce, reduction at the source is the most important thing,” he proclaims. “Ensuring that the end-user is applying the right amount of film to contain their load through the supply chain is the greenest solution out there, period,” he states. “Going forward, we were always looking at different avenues for thinner films, using different blends of resin to enhance the performance of existing films, and looking at different ways to improve on what we have been doing so far. “That why we see value in the kind of training that Crawford facilitates for its teams—going beyond the rudimentary stuff and diving deeper into the science behind the resin blends that we make to create films that meets the needs of the marketplace,” Cameron concludes. “We’re proud of what we do, we’re proud of the people we sell through, like Crawford, and we’re proud to help endusers with their unique containment solutions to ensure that their product gets through the supply chain in same condition as when it started its journey.”

BAKE, RATTLE & ROLL! Upcoming interpack 2026 exhibition poised to serve up a dazzling array of packaging solutions for the global baked goods manufacturing industry

CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

ecent years have seen some breathtaking advancements in the bakery industry, particularly in the area of process and packaging machines, unleashing profound technical and structural changes in the sector. These changes will be vividly displayed during the upcoming interpack 2026 global packaging exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany, May 7-13, 2026, where show visitors will have plenty of opportunities so see live demonstrations of how baked goods of all types are produced and packaged today. With consumers are demanding more sustainable packaging, and the shortage of skilled labor is making automation imperative, energy and material effi-

ciency are increasingly becoming competitive factors. Therefore, these days packaging solutions for bread, croissants, yeast rolls, cakes and the like are required to be ecological, economical and technologically flexible in equal measure. Sustainability is a crucial factor today, with many manufacturers focussing on recyclable, compostable or bio-based materials such as paper-based solutions, PLA (polylactic acid) films or monomaterials. At this year’s interpack, German paper packaging products manufacturer exhibitor Weber Verpackung will be displaying the Baker Bag solution it has developed for self-service counters, which can be outfitted of viewing windows made of thin transparent recycled film or transparent paper (glassine), with the latter option making the bags easily

disposed of in the wastepaper bin for recycling. With product protection always the top priority, preventing breads, cakes and other baked goods from spoiling prematurely—requiring the use of innovative packaging systems that combine hygiene and shelf-life with sustainability. Barrier functions that reduce the exchange of water vapor and oxygen to keep the contents fresh, are particularly in demand for vending machine bags for the automatic packaging of bread and baked goods. Currently, these barriers can only be achieved when paper packaging is used in conjunction with plastic coatings, film laminations, or coatings with a polymer-containing layer, with all these options enabling big plastic reductions compared to polyfoil bags. A significant parallel advancement to material development is the automation of packaging processes. Robotics and artificial intelligence(AI) are increasingly finding their way into production and enable precise, gentle handling of delicate baked goods. Modern systems work with camera-supported detection systems that analyze the shape, position and quality of the products in real time. This means that only flawless goods are packaged, product waste is reduced, and process reliability is increased. At the same time, changeover times are significantly reduced—a decisive factor in view of smaller batch sizes and frequently changing product variants. Digitalization enables networks of machines, sensors and control systems in baked goods production to create intelligent overall systems. Process data such as temperature, sealing quality or material consumption are continuously recorded and automatically analysed. Platforms such as VisionAI, for example, use AI-based image analysis to immediately recognize deviations and adjust parameters in real time. Predictive maintenance is also becoming increasingly important: by analyzing machine data, failures can be prevented and downtimes minimized. Such smart factory concepts are no longer the preserve of large companies, but are increasingly of interest to mediumsized baked goods manufacturers. Robotics, sensor-based control systems and AI show their strengths when it comes to sensitive or irregularly shaped products in particular. For example, Gerhard Schubert has developed the Cobot tog.519—an advanced solution that combines AI-supported image recognition and flexible robot kinematics. 38

After the trade fair, Nutrition & Santé opted for a system with a flow-packer, cartoner and two single-lane A3 erectors, which packs a total of 13 different types of biscuits, tincluding rectangular and round biscuits, chocolate-nut varieties and filled bars. The centrepiece of the system is the versatile TLM cartoner, which can flexibly handle seven bag formats and carton sizes. Likewise, leading machine manufacturer Syntegon recently introduced a new counting system for the efficient packaging of biscuits, the FGCT counting feeder, designed to enable more product gentle handling, greater efficiency and less product waste. The system groups biscuits in the desired quantity particularly gently and places them upright in trays or directly into the infeed of a flow-packer.

MARS RAPID™ VFFS Continuous-Motion, Ultra-High-Speed Packaging Up to 200 Cycles/Minute Canadian manufacturers are being asked to increase output while keeping labour, downtime, and quality risk under control. In high-volume environments, speed alone isn’t the benchmark repeatable speed is. Packaging equipment must run consistently across shifts, integrate cleanly with upstream filling systems, and provide operators with the visibility and diagnostics required to keep production moving. The Mars Rapid™ Vertical Form Fill & Seal (VFFS) is a continuous motion, ultrahigh-speed packaging platform engineered for large-volume applications. Capable of achieving up to 200 cycles per minute, Mars Rapid is built to deliver exceptional throughput without compromising reliability or consistency. The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with weighers and fillers, and its user-friendly interface and quickchangeover access support operations running multiple SKUs, product sizes, and package formats. DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINED HIGH-SPEED PRODUCTION High-output packaging lines don’t struggle to “hit a number” once they struggle to sustain performance. The Mars Rapid platform focuses on the fundamentals that maintain stability at elevated speeds: controlled motion, stable sealing conditions, and consistent film management. Mars Rapid uses servo-controlled foil and jaw motion to deliver precise, repeatable timing in continuous operation. This motion control is paired with a P.I.D. control system for heaters, supporting stable temperature management to help maintain seal consistency throughout long production runs. When a machine runs fast, small fluctuations can quickly become scrap, rework, or quality holds. The Mars Rapid design helps minimize that variability by emphasizing controlled execution rather than speed at any cost. FILM CONTROL AND PACKAGE QUALITY: PROTECTING THE BRAND AT SPEED At ultra-high speeds, film tracking, tension, and alignment become critical to maintaining both appearance and seal performance. Mars Rapid includes an automatic film centering and unwinding system to help keep film aligned with less operator adjustment. It also uses an AC motor-controlled dancer system to support consistent film tension an important contributor to stable bag length, repeatable registration, and reliable sealing. For brands running printed film where

graphic alignment is essential, Mars Rapid can be configured with optional photo registration to support accurate placement for branded packaging. BUILT FOR INTEGRATION: COMPATIBLE WITH ANY FILLING SYSTEM In high-volume packaging, throughput depends on how well the packaging machine coordinates with the filling process. Mars Rapid is designed to integrate easily with any filling system, enabling clean pairing with weighers, fillers, and upstream product delivery equipment. This makes it a strong fit for operations that already have preferred filler technologies or are expanding existing lines and want a VFFS platform that can be integrated without unnecessary complexity. FASTER CHANGEOVERS FOR MULTI-SKU ENVIRONMENTS Many modern facilities don’t run one product they run many. Mars Rapid is built to support agility without sacrificing output, with toolless removable access to the forming tube for fast, practical changeovers. Quickchangeover design reduces downtime between runs and supports facilities that need to move efficiently between product sizes, formats, or film types. OPTIONAL ADD-ONS FOR FLEXIBILITY AND RETAIL READINESS Mars Rapid can be configured with options that expand packaging functionality and presentation, including: • Zipper or valve applicator • Photo registration for graphic film applications • Printer for best-before date or lot coding • Gusset former • Hole punch These options allow manufacturers to tailor the system to product requirements, shelfready expectations, and compliance needs such as date and lot marking. Technical specifications (as configured) • Speed/Capacity: Up to 200 cycles/min

• • • •

Power Requirements: 220V | 3PH Air Requirements: 90–120 PSI | 20 CFM Technical Details: Continuous Motion, large colour HMI, diagnostics, multilanguage Construction: Stainless steel frame

Air Conveyors

This system is used to accumulate the containers progressively, both in case of slowing down of the downstream machines, or of acceleration of the upstream machines. During the normal production cycle, the number of containers on the accumulation table is minimal and only for transit.

Case/Tray conveyor are manufactured according to the product to be handled. Can be single-lane or multi-lane with manual or automatic side guides. Made with sturdy AISI 304 stainless steel structure, the conveyors are easy to install and are designed to be easily connected to the machines present on the production line. This system is used in plants for the progressive and orderly accumulation of products in the event of slowdowns and / or stops of downstream machines, thus minimizing the arrests and increasing the line efficiency. The system consists of a structure with parallel lanes equipped with independently motorized chains “Mass” buffer system allows to accumulate a large quantity of containers and to absorb any slowdowns and / or micro-stops caused by production problems or normal interventions by operators during the production process.

air conveyors guarantee the handling of empty plastic containers safely and at high speeds. to move empty containers, particularly unstable or at very high speeds, it is possible to equip the chain conveyor with a suction system in order to increase the stability of the containers and the operation efficiency. ABLE-TOP or modular chain conveyor systems are designed for handling all types of containers, at high speeds and with the highest efficiency.

Merger (with rubberized side gripped dosing belt)

The FIFO accumulation table with motorized guide is composed of 2 parallel modular belts, with opposite direction of travel. A special mobile motorized guide conveys the containers from one belt to another following the production flow. This system is used to accumulate the product progressively when slowdowns or stops of downstream machines occur. During normal production, the presence of containers on the table is minimal and only for by-pass. The merger is a machine integrated in the bottles or tanks handling line and it allows their shift from a multi-lane conveying (2 lanes) to the single-lane conveying. The merger is made of a structure and of many conveyor modules with variable speeds. It’s dedicated to dividing containers coming from a single lane into multiple output channels. Designed to manage shaped containers (square, rectangular, oval) which are especially unstable and challenging to handle. This machine features top-tier mechanical technologies, including carbon fiber moving parts, and advanced electronic technologies, with movements driven by linear motors. Dynamic side guides replace traditional passive barriers, such as flat or roller guides. They are designed with belts that match the speed of the containers. This synchronization ensures smooth product flow and minimizes pressure or friction on the containers as they move along the line. This eliminates the inevitable play and/or friction between the product and the barrier, allowing for active transfer. Even the most unstable bottle shapes can therefore be precisely and reliably divided without the risk of falling or tipping over. The multi - lanes divider, with longitudinal and transversal movement and drives controlled by brushless motors, is integrated in the plants to distribute the transported containers to several lines.

Operation

vatious

an innovative system in which the opening is automatically made thanks to the pressure of the bottle brought by the lifting cam under the gasket of the nozzle. Without a bottle, the valve remains automatically closed without any need of a surveying system. The closure, the self-levelling and the removal of the gas are controlled by a single rotating device The hyperbaric filler produced is characterized by a low pressure of inert gas within the tank to ensure the highest quality during the filling process; it prevents the loss of scents and flavors of alcohol and the loss of volatile elements of the finished product. It represents a higher technological option to the vacuum-sealed traditional systems. it is used for the bottling of high-density liquids such as THICK LIQUEURS, for which the traditional bottling systems prove either inadequate or limited. The filling system is conceived to prevent the emulsion of the product with air, reducing consistently the possible oxidation.

Our user-friendly bottle unscrambling machines will smoothly transfer your plastic bottles from the bulk supply bowl and feed them in-line to an indexing conveyor for downstream filling and packaging. These machines are compact and hygienic and applicable for many products including food, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics.

The containers slide gently onto a fixed stainless-steel cone and are positioned on the circumference of the unscrambler. From here, containers are selected by Lifters (Lift Master patent) that convey them smoothly to the upper part of the unscrambler. In this way the bottles avoid being re-scrambled and knocked about due to the high relative velocities typical of other technologies. The efficiency of the unscrambler is further increased by the bottle extractor systems (in most cases without stopping the machine) that remove any damaged bottles that are conveyed to the unscrambler.

CHECKOUT

Thoughtful store packaging deserves its own awards/Myles Shane

eing big movie buffs, the recent broadcast of the Golden Globes awards gala was a big thing at our household. There is something mesmerizing about seeing Hollywood’s biggest stars pretending to be surprised if they win, while being gently roasted by the show’s hosts. And like we did every year, we invited friends over, rearranged the living room just enough to feel intentional, and prepared for the real event: the snacks. To that end, we took a drive to the nearby Longo’s supermarket, looking for something to make the evening a truly memorable occasion.

Soon after the doors slid open to reveal a calm, orderly and unhurried interior, somewhere between the imported chocolates and the deli counter we found ourselves in a debate with our teenage kids over how fancy we wanted out snack spread to be, while avoiding buying too much or too little. Seizing the initiative, my wife reached into the refrigerated case and held up a tray of Longo’s Italian Charcuterie Mix, leaving no doubt about how she wanted to start off the evening. Packed inside a rigid, 300gram multi-compartment tray and sealed with tight clear layer of film to keep all contents in place, the Longo’s Italian Charcuterie Mix is generously packed with something for everyone: prosciutto aged at least 18 months, traditional salami, creamy Provola cheese, green Nocellara olives, and those absurdly addictive little Italian taralli. The clean, easy-to-read bilingual label topping the film lidding is refreshingly straight to the point, listing the contents, nutritional value, best-before date and the “keep refrigerated” advisory in simple straight lines of text, without distracting from the high quality of the indulgent bites of hand-crafted goodness neatly arranged in the recyclable container’s perfectly-molded tray cavities.

Every savory indulgence deserves a sweet follow-up, and a bag of Drizzilicious Salted Caramel Bites from Snack Innovations, Inc. filled the bill perfectly for that purpose. The re-imagined miniature rice cakes are packed in resealable 113-gram stand-up pouches adorned with earthy hues of orange and purple, with breezy images of the air-borne crisps on the right side of the front panel promising an honest “good for you” snacking experience. The playful serif brand logo seamlessly blends in with clean, modern typography to call out the key ingredients—chia, quinoa, and flax—like little badges of virtue. The best-before date is clearly stamped near the seal, and the Nutrition Facts box on the back panel is balanced perfectly alongside the bilingual nutritional claims promising a guilt-free, low-calories snacking indulgence that almost makes the resealable closure at the top a moot point but thank you for the thought and effort nonetheless! By then, the younger voices in the group made it clear that their opinions mattered too. My teenage daughter, already thinking three steps ahead, declared we needed hummus. But after stalling on deciding what flavor hummus we needed, we zeroed in on the Longo’s Dip & Hummus Variety Pack to keep everyone happy. The store-made hummus is neatly packaged in round, four compartment tub to keep the Artichoke & Asiago, Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach and Classic flavors separated in perfect neighborly harmony made its way into the cart without much debate. The red Longo’s logo perfectly anchor the bilingual label, and the color-coded sections make choosing feel effortless. The clear film lid peels back smoothly from the recyclable tub—a small victory you don’t appreciate until it doesn’t happen. The best-before date is clearly printed, the

“keep refrigerated” message impossible to miss, and allergen warnings were right where you expected them to be. The tub was recyclable, assuming you took the time to rinse it out. And then there were cookies; there are always cookies. My son went straight for the Longo’s Mini White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies and, honestly, it felt inevitable. The kraft paper box, with its clear window, lets you see exactly what you were getting: no tricks, no gimmicks, just good old hand-made cookies. The packaging was fully recyclable and biodegradable, the best-before date clearly marked, and the embossed Longo’s logo makes it feel like someone really thought this whole package through.

(From top) A tray of Longo’s Italian Charcuterie Mix; the resealable stand-up pouch of Drizzilicious Salted Caramel Bites; a box of Longo’s Mini White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies with an extra-large viewing window; the Longo’s Dip & Hummus Variety Pack.

Standing there later, unpacking everything onto the coffee table, I noticed how much of hosting now lives in the details we barely talk about. Best-before dates checked and rechecked. Recycling symbols quietly scanned. Storage instructions followed like unspoken rules. These weren’t the things we’d remember years from now, but somehow, they were part of why the night felt so right. The charcuterie took its place at the center of the table. The Drizzilicious bites spilled into a bowl that would need refilling. The hummus waited patiently for chips and conversation. The cookies hovered on the edge, pretending they were for later. The lights dimmed, the room filled, and for a few hours everything landed exactly where it was supposed to. And sometimes, that’s enough.
