IN PRAISE OF THE FEELGOOD FACTOR

Expecting the worst to lessen the impact of eventual disappointment is a curious, often silly, but a very stubborn human trait that is largely a futile mental self-defense mechanism. In fact, fearing the future is s sure way to rob oneself of true enjoyment of the present moment in the good times, and a quick route to despair under more challenging circumstances.

And at this moment in time, at least, no one will begrudge companies in the global packaging business the luxury of basking in the glow of strong economic fundamentals and generally favorable consumer and technology trends that could see packaging machinery, materials and services providers continue to thrive in the current climate of growing market demand and technological savvy.

Most attendees of the last PACKEX Toronto packaging trade show in early June will agree that this year’s national packaging showcase had plenty of feelgood factor permeated through the Toronto Congress Centre’s lively exhibits, and for those of you who missed the event for one reason or another, please turn to page 44 of this issue to get a feel for what we’re talking about.

Lest we get accused of overoptimistic cheerleading, let’s acknowledge that no global industry of note is truly recession-proof, and packaging is no exception.

And there is no sugarcoating the magnitude, enor-

mity and complexity of truly disruptive trends and challenges either coming our way or already here.

According the a major new study from global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, these trends include: growth of e -commerce; a shift to sustainable materials; changing consumer preferences; disruptive technologies; and greater margin pressure.

“These trends will create new opportunities for companies to improve their performance against all dimensions of ‘Quality of Revenue’ and drive the next wave of operational efficiency,” says Nick Santhanam, McKinsey senior partner and leader of the Industrials Practice in North America.

While there is no guarantee that these trends will benefit each and every packaging company, the report does make a strong case for the priceless value of continued innovation as a general blueprint for future growth.

As president and chief executive officer of Sealed Air Corp. Ted Doheny is quoted in the report, “We need to focus on innovation [and] if we’re not moving fast enough, that’s when we should think about M&A to fill the gap and drive more growth.”

Turning challenges into an opportunity is hardly ever easy or painless, but using the power of positive thinking to guide one’s business strategy and outlook will at least make the task more enjoyable and worth while. And who would be unhappy about that?

ALTERNATIVE MEAT PRODUCTS PIONEER SERVES UP A HEARTY FEAST FOR THE EYES WITH BOLD PACKAGING UPDATE

While it may seem like the onslaught of plant-based meat alternatives has arrived and exploded out of the blue just a little while back earlier this year, companies like Sol Cuisine Inc. have been patiently waiting for their proverbial moment in the sun far longer than today’s fast-growing ranks of plant-based protein converts may realize.

Founded by Dror Balshine in his home kitchen in 1996, the company started out by selling tofu and other vegetarian dishes to local Ontario restaurants and foodservice operators—quickly realizing the future potential of tapping into a unique and mostly untouched market at that time.

“Sol Cuisine was born out of my passion for both food and business,” explains Balshine.

“The business fit my personality and, as a vegetarian, it spoke to my mission to impact health, animal welfare and environmental issues at the same time.”.

Driven by a goal to produce delicious food options that were not only nutritionally dense, but also had great taste and gourmet quality, Sol Cuisine manufactured the first certified organic tofu in Canada and expanded to the United States in 2004.

While the product portfolio has changed over the years and now features a full range of plant-based burgers and plant-based entrées such as meatballs, falafel and chicken tenders, the goal has always been to provide choices for consumers looking to reduce the amount of meat they consume, according to Balshine, with minimal processing and a clean ingredient panel.

With the fast–growing meat-free market attracting plenty of serious

competition both in Canada and the U.S. lately, Sol Cuisine recently embarked on a comprehensive packaging upgrade for many of its key product lines to differentiate itself as a true industry pioneer.

Created by Toronto-based retail branding specialists Slingshot Inc., the new packaging features an updated company logo and exquisite food photography to showcase strong appetite appeal.

Designed to catch consumers’ attention amidst a sea of options in the frozen entrée space, the packaging truly reflects the quality and texture of the plantbased protein foods within, according to Balshine.

“The category is growing by leaps and bounds,” he says, “but at the end of the day it is our taste buds and our ability to read labels and seek out powerful ingredients that nourish our bodies that will be key to a brand’s survival, as Canadians continue to strive for healthier choices.”

Produced at a 35,000-square-foot production facility certified to the international SQF (Safe Quality Food) foood safety standards of the Global Food Safety initiative (GFSI), Sol Cuisine’s extensive line of plant-based burgers—packaged inside colorful, visually dazzling folding cartons supplied by Ontario-based paperboard producers Boehmer Box LP and Astro Box Corporation —are all 100-percent plant-based, Non-GMO Project -verified, and Kosher - and Halal -certified.

Made with locally-sourced ingredients wherever possible, Sol Cuisine’s current plant-based burger line-up includes innovative blends and recipes that can be readily at major grocery chains, mass retailers and healthfood stores across Canada:

• Sunflower Beet ;

• Extreme Griller ;

• Mushroom and Wild Rice ;

• Portobello Mushroom and Quinoa ;

• Lemon Dill Salm’n ;

• Spicy Black Bean ;

• Chickpea Sweet Potato;

• Sprouted Quinoa Chia

In addition to the frozen burger patties, Sol Cuisine also applied the new packaging design to the 300-gram resealable flexible stand-up pouches— manufactured by Poly Nova Corporation in Guelph, Ont.—to other innovative plant-based products such as meatballs, chicken fingers and fish fillets.

Timing-wise, Balshine says it was important to update the brand in time for the summer grilling season to highlight what was inside the packaging.

“We now have studies that say more than half of Canadians (53 per cent) are choosing to eat plant-based foods,” says Balshine, citing last year’s study on meat alternatives conducted by global market researchers Mintel Group

“That’s an incredible number that far exceeds demand when we started out,” Balshine extols, also citing the recently-launched new Canada’s Food Guide as inspiration for the company’s continued product innovation aimed at the country’s vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian consumers.

As Balshine concludes, “We’ll continue to evolve and map out our mission to make nutrient-dense food that is accessible, available and delivers on taste for all Canadians.”

BESIDES THE PINT

Progressive Canadian gelato manufacturer takes food safety to the proverbial next level with state-of-the-art X-Ray product inspection technology

BY ALANNA FAIREY, ASSISTANT EDITOR

PHOTOS BY DOUGLAS JOE

Money may not buy happiness, but if it can buy ice cream, then that may very well be the next best thing for many people.

Launched back in 2003, originally as a scoop shop, Calgary-based Fiasco Gelato has done many good things since then to evolve into the proud manufacturer of small-batch gelatos and sorbettos that it is today.

The company’s 8,000-square-foot production facility nowadays employs 25 dedicated full-time staff working over a busy one-shift, including a sanitation shift at the end of the day.

While some of its more established classic flavors include Raspberry Lime and Creamy Coconut, Fiasco Gelato is not the type of company to simply coast on its laurels, as evidenced by this summer season’s launch on mouth-watering innovations that include White Chocolate Pretzel Gelato, Campfire S’mores, Peanut Butter Stracciatella, Matcha & Honey and Passionfruit Lemonade flavors.

The company’s flair for innovation has certainly resonated well with leading national grocers such as Loblaws, Longo’s, Whole Foods Market, Pusateri’s, Real Canadian Superstore, Sobeys, and Thrifty Foods, among others, where its clear, semi-rigid 562-ml plastic jars have been making a huge impact with Canadian consumers.

As a true poster child for product transparency, Fiasco Gelato was very intentional and purposeful in its decision to use the see-through pints to package its products—enabling consumer to see and appreciate the contents right at that critical moment when consumers make their final purchasing decision.

“The industry is always evolving, and packaging does create a really critical role in our marketing strategy,” says Shashi Singh, the company’s quality assurance and sanitation lead.

As Singh relates, Fiasco Gelato takes its CSR (corporate social responsibility) obligations very seriously, as underpinned by the company’s B Corpora-

tion certification for communal and environmental accountability. To that end, all of its pint-sized are made entirely from post-consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) plastic, and Singh relates that many consumers have been repurposing their Fiasco Gelato pints as household jars and storage containers long after the final scoop.

“Everyone is kind of moving towards sustainable and recyclable packaging ideas,” Singh told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview, “and we definitely want to stay with that by make sure that we consider lots of different options to keeping up with what’s best for the environment.”

As a small business, Fiasco Gelato had no shortcomings of challenges it had to overcome on its way to mainstream success.

Trying to break into a competitive industry forces most ice-cream and gelato companies to constantly

create innovative and delicious new products, while also discovering new ways to manufacture them in a way that will not only appeal to consumers, but also ensure them a spot in stores with limited shelf space.

To guarantee itself that coveted spot, Singh and his team constantly need to make sure that their gelato and sorbetto are perfectly safe for human consumption, and would not be subject to recalls due to listeria and other harmful contaminants.

“As both the company and avenues that we’re selling into grow, we’re making more product everyday,” Singh explains. “Because of that, the machines that we use on a daily basis are susceptible to making ingredients that could possibly contain a contaminant in the product.

“Hence it is always a challenge was to ensure that we were not getting any foreign materials finding their way into our product.”

Singh relates that Fiasco Gelato has implemented a highly robust maintenance program set up to ensure that the plant’s machinery and equipment are functioning properly.

When the company first moved into its current new location back in August of 2015, Singh and safety operators would conduct a pre-operation inspection of the facility—making sure that all of the tanks and all the utensils were completely intact and nothing had been lost during the process.

But as Singh acknowledges, this in itself was not sufficient to provide complete safety assurance.

“To virtually verify each pint of each gelato product that we make is a little harder because you do not have any system to visually inspect the inside of the pint,” Singh explains.

“Which is why we were going for a technology that would help us recognize and identify any po-

tential hazard that we can correct on-site.”

To find a solution for optimal safety inspection, Fiasco Gelato reached out to product inspection specialists METTLER TOLEDO Canada Inc., a leading supplier of product inspection technologies—including metal detection, checkweighing, X-Ray inspection and vision solutions—exclusively represented by Shawpak Systems Ltd. across Canada.

While Fiasco Gelato initially considered installation of a metal detector, a closer evaluation of its needs by Shawpak president and business partner Nigel Turnpenny concluded that an X-ray system at the end of the production line would provide the plant with a more effective solution.

“The primary reason we had to go with an XRay system is that they actually have an induction seal, a metallized film on the product, which would not allow it to pass through a metal detector,” Turnpenny explains.

Thanks to the guidance of METTLER TOLEDO and Schawpak, Fiasco Gelato ultimately decided to acquire METTLER TOLEDO’s Safeline X33 Series X-Ray inspection system, which was purchased early in the year and installed in May of 2019.

Positioned right a the end-of-line, the Safeline X33 Series X-ray inspection system has capably provided all the due diligence that Fiasco Gelato was looking for in optimizing its food and product safety.

“One of the other deciding factors is the due diligence that comes by being able to see an image of every product that they produce, an image of every reject that they have, an image of every test that they do on the system,” Turnpenny extols.

“Fiasco Gelato has got full traceability in the event that they did have an issue and that their machine is

testing correctly and why rejects happen.”

In addition, the Safeline X33 Series X-ray inspection system is IP65 washdown-rated as standard, and boasts a tool-less belt removal design for optimal ease of cleaning.

Although the Safeline X33 Series X-Ray inspection system comes with a 20-watt generator, whereas most competing X-Ray systems start around the 100-watt generator size, Turnpenny explains that higher powers capabilities do not necessarily equate

to better detection results.

“Because it produces less heat, the Safeline X33 does not require any cooling systems, so there’s no air conditioning units on the unit,” he points out.

“This makes it easy to move around and also requires less maintenance on this system—making it a greener machine overall,” Turnpenny asserts.

Singh concurs: “Because it is a low-energy Xray unit, in the long term it saves us a lot of capital.”

Singh adds that the Safeline X33 Series X-Ray in-

spection system’s ability to handle a plethora of different products—be it individual pints of gelato or full cases of products—is also a great benefit.

According to Singh, the addition of the Safeline X33 Series X-Ray inspection system has resulted in a much smoother production process overall.

“Before, if there was a problem and we recognized a potential issue in the middle of production without the X-ray, we would have no option but to hold up production because you do not know

Shashi Singh and Fiasco Gelato quality and regulatory coordinator Amy Hosking pose in front of the METTLER TOLEDO Safeline X33 Series X-Ray inspection system, which was purchased early in the new year and subsequently installed at the plant’s end-of-line area with assistance from Schawpak Systems in May of 2019.

All finished gelato and sorbetto product are run through the Safeline X33 Series X-Ray inspection system to check for any possible contaminants that may have inadvertently made their way into the package before being distributed for retail sale.

where that physical hazard ended up or in which pint or at what stage of the process,” Singh explains.

“Now that we have this new unit here, we know exactly which pint has been affected; what product needs to get quarantined; what needs to sourced; and what is passable for production,” he states. “This helps the product reach its best quality.”

Using locally-sourced ingredients and dairy products, the small-batch gelatos and sorbettos are mixed onsite through a cooling tank and then put into a Tetra Pak blast freezer.

The finished product comes out the other side of the blast freezer, upon reaching the consistency and density of a standard gelato and sorbetto product.

Once removed from the freezer, the product is moved to Fiasco Gelato’s rotary packaging system, which automatically fills product inside the pints.

As the final stage of the production process, a single conveyor belt runs the pints through the Safeline X33 Series X-ray inspection system, to ensure that no possible contaminants inadvertently made their way into the pints.

Part of what has made purchasing the Safeline X33 Series X-Ray inspection system a positive experience for Fiasco Gelato has been the support they received from METTLER TOLEDO, which has a local Calgary-based support team that regularly visits the facility to provide all the necessary technical support and offer ongoing operator training.

“It’s not just about assisting if there is downtime,” Turnpenny says. “If they want any additional training or a visit for other aspects, the local technician is always ready to help.”

Adds Singh: “Whenever we have required it, the service of METTLER TOLEDO to be there for us has been impeccable.

“The support that they offered us after the installation, as well as during the installation process, training all of our folks, was just one aspect of their services.”

Looking ahead, the already HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)-certified Fiasco Gelato plant will receive its first SQF (Safe Quality Food) audit by year’s end. If successful, this would open up even more sales channels and exporting opportunities, Singh notes.

Nowadays, buying fresh and healthy natural products is at the top of many Canadian consumers’ grocery shopping lists.

And for a prominent Canadian food producer Fresh Start Foods Canada Ltd., a reputable and well-respected supplier of fresh produce for over 25 years, giving consumers exactly what they want is a natural outcome of the company’s enduring commitment to healthy eating.

“Fresh Start is proud to continue to lead consumers’ choices in line with the trend towards center of the plate becoming less protein-based and more starch- and vegetable-based,” says Fresh Start Foods vice-president Scott Lewis.

“We have been growing our offerings in this area and we expect that to continue—making certain we are on trend when it comes to the products that we sell.”

A close-up of some of the high-quality fresh produce and other products bagged on the plant’s highly automated packaging line at exceptionally high speeds.

PACKAGING FOR FRESHNESS

With several well-positioned locations in both eastern and western Canada, Fresh Start Foods also operates two subsidiaries in the country’s biggest provinces.

This includes J.G. Fruits and Vegetables, Montreal-based distributor of whole and fresh-cut fruit, vegetables and other related products, as well as Eating New Creations in Mississauga, Ont.

Initially started up as a catering company, Eating New Creations has evolved to grow into a full-service supplier of salad and meal assembly kits, portioned salads, sandwiches, fruit cups and other portioned fresh and dry products for clients in the retail and foodservice industries.

“We are both a manufacturer and assembler,” explains Eating New Creations operations manager Ernie Barnard.

“We do some catering style assembly when it comes to sandwiches and other high-end catering, but much of what we do is focused on co-packing products in retail formats for other companies, as well as for ourselves.”

According to Barnard, the 17,000-square-foot Mississauga facility employs about 30 people over a busy six-days-a-week schedule, with the flexibility to adjust the schedule as needed to meet any fluctuations in market demand.

Both Lewis and Barnard priding themselves as firm believers in the merits of JIT (just-in-time) production philosophy, which is rooted in the nature of the company’s products.

“We have product that has very specific shelf-life requirements,” Barnard told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the Mississauga facility.

According to Barnard, the first day of the working week is typically one of the busiest times for the plant, due to stocking demands of its retail chain customer.

“It’s very important for produce to have that quick turnaround because we do not have a lot of spare time,” he says.

“We don’t stock fresh items unless there is something that has a lot of shelf-life.

To align its process with the desired quick turnaround, Fresh Start Foods recently installed an automated weighing and bagging solution from Multipond and GEA, along with the S-shaped Liftvrac conveyor purchased from the Burlington, Ont.-based packaging line specialists Abbey Packaging Equipment Ltd.

During the initial consultations for the process improvement, it was agreed that the Multipond, GEA and Liftvrac solutions offered the most flexible and sanitary solutions.

Once the process was under way, Fresh Start Foods was keen to meet Abbey Packaging representatives to discuss the merits of installing a fully automated and portion-controlled process system.

Lewis relates that prior to purchasing the Multipond, GEA and Liftvrac, much of the bagging process at the plant was done manually.

Not only was it a tedious process, according to Lewis, it also could not guarantee consistently accurate and precise portion controls.

“You’re only as accurate as each individual scale and each individual person operating the scale,” Lewis explains.

“In the past, we might have had 20 or 30 people with scoops putting diced onions into little baggies, for example, and then hand-sealing them,” he relates.

“Now we have the Multipond Weigher integrated with the GEA SX400 SmartPacker running at about 750 bags per hour,” Lewis extols, “with only a few people required to operate it.

“In addition, working with the Liftvrac conveyor undoubtedly allowed us to be much more efficient with a much faster turnaround process.”

Setting itself apart from other conveyor systems thanks to its unique S-shape, the Liftvrac conveyor range offers a choice of available heights from 1,500mm to 8,000-mm, achieving impressive product flow rates of up to 18 cubic meters per hour.

According to Lewis, the system’s flexibility and reliability were two of the most important selection criteria for Fresh Start Foods, which places a high value

Coming off the Liftvrac elevating conveyor, the fresh produce is precision-weighed weighed and evenly dispensed into the sainless less-steel buckets (inset) of the Multipond multihead weigher.

After being dispensed into the buckets of the Multipond multihead weigher, the product falls inside the GEA SmartPacker SX400 bagger, which untilizes vacuum belts to transport the film through its open jaws to bag and seal the product at rates of up to 750 bags per hour.

on product innovation and recipe diversity.

“Innovation grows value for our customers and, in turn, their customers,” Lewis says, “and this system has enhanced the versatility of what we do as a company.

“The Liftvrac system can do anything from dry pearls of quinoa, for example, to mini potatoes, leafy greens, and diced wet product.

“That kind of versatility allows us to introduce a lot of extension to existing product lines, so that we can bring real value to our customers.”

In addition to the state-of-the-art Liftvrac, Fresh Start Foods also purchased a Multipond J-Series weigher and GEA’s model SX400 SmartPacker, with the aim of creating the most flexible and most cost-efficient way to produce their wide and product range.

The latest model in the J-Series, the highly versatile and IP69-rated and versatile Multipond weigher is able to accommodate an increased weighing system performance due to faster value logging times, which is an asset for Fresh Start Foods’ promise of JIT (just-in-time) delivery.

Before production begins, a customer will place an order with Fresh Start Foods, who will then order the raw product from their allergen-free processing facility Milton, Ont., which performs all the required washing, slicing and dicing.

Upon arriving to the Mississauga plant, the raw product is placed on the flat conveyor belt of the Liftvrac, which progressively closes into a tube that rises upwards vertically towards the multihead scales above. Upon releases the product, and the belt reverts back to its flat state, allowing the belt to be scraped clean in a continuous operation mode.This method ensures that there is virtually no product loss, compared to more conventional flighted conveyor systems.

The raw product is then weighed and evenly distributed evenly on the Multipond multihead weigher, after which the product falls down into the SX400 bagger.

With the bagger’s jaws opened to let the belt transport the film, the product is quickly bagged and sealed.

The bagged product is then packed inside corrugated cases, loaded onto pallets, and sent directly to the customer via Fresh Start’s own distribution fleet.

“It’s a quick turnaround,” Barnard reiterates, “whereby we have the product delivered to the customer within 24 hours.”

With the more efficient process flow and vastly improved product consistency enabled by the Liftvrac, Lewis notes that Fresh Start Foods has been able to refine and optimize its business strategies going forward.

“The Liftvrac system has really revolutionized the way that we think about the business in general,” he states.

“Because we can now literally pack anything on that machine— from dry to frozen, to processed vegetables and leafy greens—the Liftvrac has really opened up our horizons,” he extols.

For his part, Barnard echoes Lewis’ sentiments and compliments to a tee.

“The Liftvrac is perfect for the retail niche that we have,” he says, “and the versatility of the conveyor just opened up many new possibilities in everything that we do.”

Like it is with any new machine, Fresh Start Foods faced a few minor technical issues when the Liftvrac was first installed, but they were all quickly resolved with the technical expertise and assistance provided by Abbey Packaging’s service personnel.

“Every time there is something new and innovative, there’s a certain amount of tweaking here and there, but Abbey has responded very well to all our concerns,” Barnard states.“They have pushed us through and helped us get what we need to do to get done quickly and efficiently.”

As the produce company continues to grow, Fresh Start Foods intends to continue to keep its eyes open for more machine installations that will help the company to keep progressing into the future.

And acccording to Barnard, Abbey Packaging will certainly be among the suppliers that Fresh Start Foods will seriously consider for all future machine installations.

“Abbey Packaging has a foot in the door because of this positive experience,” Barnard says.“We’re always looking for how machines can help our business and certainly I think that the response from Abbey Packaging will put them on the list, especially if they can offer a machine that is similar to the Liftvrac in terms of impact and productivity.”

While a new machine may not be the focus for the time being, making sure that their customers are satisfied remains the top priority for Fresh Start Foods.

With the facility already boasting HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Controls Points) and SQF (Safe Quality Food Institute) certifications, Fresh Start Foods is currently in the process of becoming licensed by the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) to further emphasize its commitment to safety.

“These days, food safety is not just a trend––it’s a ticket to the game,” Lewis says.

“There have been too many product recalls and advisories out there in recent years,” he states, “which is why we think that ongoing investment in food safety and traceability is essential for the growth of the company.”

To make his point, Lewis points to the large sign hung up inside the plant that simply reads “The Customer is Why’ to remind employees about the importance of all of the plant’s safety and sanitation procedures.

“The customer is why we do everything we do,” Barnard concludes. “We always do everything that we can to take care of our customers’ needs.

“That’s been our focus for 25 years, and it will remain our primary focus going forward.”

Print shop moves into the higher gear of production capacity and product quality by investing in state-of-the-art package converting machinery

Len Larose, president and chief executive officer of Printing by Innovation Inc. (PBI), has come a long way since purchasing a 20-year-old GTO press and a used pile feed folder to get his fledgling business up and running.

Founded 15 years ago as a brokering business in Beamsville, Ont., PBI quickly evolved into a small but profitable direct mail service provider under Larose’s astute direction, initially seven people at a tiny 3,000-square-foot print shop.

Over a decade later, PBI’s corporate headquarters now boasts some 40,000 square of production and of-

fice space, with the hard-working company emerging as a prominent local food-service provider of printing services for a growing client base.

“Being more traditionally direct mail-based, finding new customers as a commercial printer is not always the easiest, because there are so many out there,” Larose told Canadian Packaging during a recent visit to the lively, 65-employee facility working on a two-shift, five-days-a-week throughout the year.

“But offering packaging services helps to make us a little more unique than the average printing company,” he states.

PBI helped local candy apple company Moyers Apple Products to design an eye-catching two-pack carton (right) printed and converted on the Beamsville plant’s state-ofthe-art Heidelberg equipment.

“We just saw packaging as an opportunity.”

Maintaining the necessary FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and G7 Master certifications, PBI is a firm believer in the merits of JIT (just-in-time) approach to customer service, promising its clients a quick turnaround of just 10 days.

According to Larose, such confidence is capably backed up by the company’s formidable product equipment arsenal that boasts some of the most advanced, cutting-edge, state-of-the-art printing press and converting equipment manufactured by the famed venerable German printing press technologies giant Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG

Says Larose:“When you’re quoting print, it’s all about time and materials, and if you know you can quote certain rates and speeds with confidence then you’re able to get the price at where it needs to be.

“If you’re running older machines that are breaking down or having problems with quality and you have to rework jobs,” he adds, “then that becomes an issue and makes it difficult to make a purchase.”

When it came to investing in quality machines that would satisfy PBI’s just-in-time delivery guarantee, as well as customer satisfaction, purchasing from Heidelberg was a no-brainer for Larose.

The partnership between PBI and Heidelberg goes way back, with the GTO press and pile feed folder being the first two pieces of equipment PBI bought from Heidelberg.

To further emphasize the close business relationship, when PBI opened their Surrey, B.C.-based location three years ago, Heidelberg provided them the equipment and aftercare service that they required.

Since then, Larose has made it a point of pride to be a loyal Heidelberg customer.

“From what I knew about Heidelberg in the industry when I first started out was that they were the Cadillac of the presses,” Larose relates.

“I went to them initially to learn from them, and find out what it is that I needed.

“Throughout our growth, from seven employees to over 80 employees today, Heidelberg has been there to support me through thick and thin, and have been a great partner of ours.”

Specifically, PBI’s recent investments in high-performance Heidelberg equipment include:

• a contemporary high-speed Speedmaster XL 106 printing press;

• a model MK Promatrix 106 CS die-cutter;

• a model MK Diana Easy folder-gluer.

• To leverage the new Heidelberg equipment for maximum high-quality output, PBI also invested in a model Ultra 101 Digital Enhancement press manufactured by Scodix Ltd. in Israel.

With lighting-fast printing speeds of 15,000 impressions per hour, the Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 is

capable of handling both short runs with quick turnaround and longer-run work, while offering the benefits remarkably short changeover and make-ready times.

According to Larose, the addition of the Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 has garnered plenty of praise from his operators, who are reaping the benefits of the stateof-the-art machine.

“If you’ve been a press operator for 25 years and now you’re running a brand new Heidelberg Speedmaster XL, that’s a real treat for them because it’s like driving a Ferrari,” Larose relates.

“My team enjoys coming to work because they’re the ones driving that Ferrari.”

Boasting output capacity of approximately 8,000 sheets per hour, the MK Promatrix 106 CS die-cutter is a highly reliable, fully-automated workhorse outfitted with many high-performance features such as a non-

stop feeder; a belt table with suction tapes and central roller and brush adjustment; precision register system up to the stripping station; quick-lock chase and cutting plate fine adjustment in the cutting station; and a quick-lock frame with fine adjustment in the stripping station to facilitate short set-up times.

For its part, the Heidelberg MK Diana folder-gluer is designed to expedite user-friendly operation and fast and easy changeover processes, while achieving robust throughput speeds of 300 meters across a broad range of paperboard grades and weights—up to an E-flute of corrugated material—with maximum product lengths of 600-mm.

As PBI develops its packaging and production side of the business, Larose believes that investing in the Scodix Ultra 101 systems was one the most exciting purchases that now enables PBI to take on projects with raised UV (ultraviolet) and raised foil options.

According to Larose, the Scodix Ultra 101 offers

PBI a strong competitive advantage as the company begins prepping up for the demanding Christmas season.

“It offers us a really a unique opportunity, coming into the Christmas season, to be able to offer variable printed packaging,” Larose explains.

“For high-end clients that want to give a gift to their customers, we can produce a box that has personalization on every box as a raised foil, which you simply can not do with traditional processes.”

It is not just Larose and his team who are reaping the benefits of the efficiency of Heidelberg equipment.

When Niagara Falls, Ont.-based  Moyers Apple Products Ltd.—which appeared on the popular Dragon’s Den television program on the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation)—were offered shelf space by Big Box retail giant Costco back in 2017, they turned to PBI to help them create an eye-catching two-pack carton for their candy apples.

Through trial and error, PBI designed not just the creative packaging itself, but also assisted in designing the actual template and the die-line that would work well for their needs, while meeting their cost restrictions.

Thanks to the speediness and accuracy of the Heidelberg equipment, Larose and his team had the project done in about two weeks, and have since been supplying Moyers with packaging for the last two years.

“We’ have always strived to be able to offer quality service and good quality print products at a good price,” Larose says about the experience.

Len Larose holding up a crisply-printed and perfectly die-cut folding carton just coming off the high-speed Heidelberg MK Easymatrix XL 106 die-cutter behind

“I think in the packaging world, with the turn around time that some of the bigger packaging houses are quoting these days, that we definitely shine in that area.”

Looking forward, Larose believes that the direct mail industry will continue to stay strong and PBI will con tinue to grow their online presence, while continuing to support itsexisting clients and breaking into new markets.

As for the packging side of his business, Larose says he fully expects it to become one of his company’s core strengths and competencies.

“If something is being sold, it needs a package to go into it,” he states. “Packaging is going to continue to grow and that is what PBI is keenly focusing on.”

In fact, the company’s packaging output is expected to grow so much that Larose suggests it may ulti mately evolve to be a separate corporate entity with its own building and dedicated staff.

“At the end of the day, we have the quality equip ment that we know will deliver,” he concludes, “and we have the capacity to deliver on very quick timelines above industry standards.

“It’s all about getting the word out there that we’re in the business, and that we are here to service and partner with our clients for our full mutual benefit.”

HAPPY AS A CLAM

A customized high-speed X-Ray product inspection system helps Clearwater plant maintain world-class quality levels on its Arctic Surf Clam processing line

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

While Canada may be blessed with an abundance of delicious highquality fish and seafood found in its coastal waters, turning that natural wealth into a lucrative sustainable business takes a tremendous amount of hard work, industry and perseverance.

Happily for folks at the Bedford, N.S.-headquartered fishery giant Clearwater Seafoods Inc., opening up new market opportunities at home and abroad with delicious innovative seafood products is a long-honed competence that has allowed the company to grow into one of the world’s leading seafood producers with vast geographic market reach and a world-class product portfolio.

“Since our inception in 1976, we’ve always remained focused on one goal— that Clearwater will be our customers’ wild, sustainable seafood supplier of choice by consistently delivering unsurpassed quality products,” says Darren Bowen, Clearwater Seafoods vice-president of global supply chain.

QUALITY CULTURE

As Bowen relates, “For over 40 years, Clearwater has invested in sustainability, research, technology and innovative solutions that affect every aspect of the seafood industry from ocean-to-plate.

“We’ve built our business with a willingness to take chances, develop new products and take them to new markets—key strategies we continue to practice today.”

According to Bowen, Clearwater currently sells over 93 million pounds of seafood annually in over 50 countries worldwide, with North America, Asia and Europe each accounting for roughly a third of its annual catch.

Boasting over 800 customers worldwide,“Clearwater serves the global seafood market with sales offices and distribution centres in some of the major regions we operate, including Canada, U.S., Argentina, U.K., Scotland, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing,”

FOOD SAFETY

according to Bowen.

“As a leading harvester, processor and marketer of sustainably-sourced seafood, Clearwater supplies its products to wholesalers, retailers and foodservice distributors globally under the Clearwater, Macduff and various private-label brands,” Bowen relates.

“Clearwater’s channel mix in foodservice, retail and other food industries ensures a diverse community of customers for our products.”

With a varied product portfolio comprising different species of scallops, lobster, crab, shrimp and other highly sought-after shellfish, Clearwater also happens to be the world’s leading processor and distributor of Arctic Surf Clams (Mactromeris Polynyma) caught in the waters just off Nova Scotia’s coastline and east of Newfoundland.

A portion of the Arctic Surf Clams harvested off Nova Scotia’s east coast are processed at the company’s Highland Fisheries plant in Glace Bay, located near the northern tip of Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island.

Acquired by Clearwater in 1987, the Highland Fisheries processing plant employs about 100 people from April to September, and about 50 from September to March, to process snow crab and Arctic Surf Clams for its global customers.

Housing a processing line for each of its primary species, the Highland Fisheries operation is one of the world’s leading suppliers of the wild-caught, sweet-tasting clam meat, popular in a multitude of global recipes and dishes.

Says Bowen: “Popular in Asian cuisines, Arctic Surf Clams are prized for their brilliant red tongues, making them visually appealing—particularly in sushi and sashimi dishes—or even in a delicate salad.

“Clearwater’s Arctic Surf Clams are available in a variety of sizes and formats,” says Bowen, noting that all clam products processed at Highland Fisheries are certified to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) global golden standard for third-party seafood verification.

“Through a multiyear strategy, Clearwater was successful in securing MSC certification for all core species in 2012,” Bowen relates.

“This means Clearwater offers the widest selection of MSC-certified species of any shellfish harvester worldwide,” he asserts, “including Arctic Surf Clams and snow crab processed at our Highland operation.”

Says Bowen: “We understand that the only way to continually bring high-quality shellfish to the marketplace is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource.

“That’s why Clearwater is directly involved with the science and management processes that are critical to sustainable fishing,” he states.

“Investing in the long-term health of the oceans and its bounty provides us a reliable, long-term supply of some of the best shellfish available in the world.”

Long prized for their sweet flavor, the Arctic Surf Clams are typically harvested from

fishing vessels, which use a specialized fishing dredge, equipped with high-power hydraulic jets designed to fluidize the sea floor to loosen clams from the sediments before scooping them up.

The scooped clams are blanched and individually-quick-frozen (IQF) on-board Clearwater’s vessels in less than an hour of harvesting, thereby locking in the freshness, flavor and texture.

Upon arrival at the Highland Fisheries plant, the IQF clams are sorted, size-graded and rigorously tested.

“Only the finest sushi-grade clams make it through our demanding quality control process before they are shipped to satisfied customers around the world,” says Bowen, citing the plant’s rigorous food safety and quality assurance programs based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) management practices and the internationally-recognized BRC (British Retail Consortium) food safety certification.

According to Bowen, all Clearwater processing plants are continuously upgraded with the latest available technologies to help ensure consistently high levels of product quality to safeguard the company’s hard-earned reputation for seafood excellence.

MAKING THE GRADE

“As a vertically integrated company, our high food safety standards are applied to every level of our supply chain—from our vessels to our processing plants and through to our customers,” Bowen states.

“Everyone at Clearwater understands that the seafood we handle will become the centerpiece of our customers’ next meal,” Bowen says, describing the relatively recent installation of a high-quality new X-Ray product inspection system at the Glace Bay plant’s high-speed clam processing line.

Designed specifically for high-volume bulk product applications, the Eagle RMI3/B X-Ray inspection system, manufactured by Tampa, Fla.-based Eagle Product Inspection, came online in September of 2018 after a rigorous assessment, testing and demonstrations expertly carried out by PLAN Automation, Canada’s exclusive distributor of Eagle equipment headquartered in Orangeville, Ont.

Designed for high-speed inspection of unpackaged bulk products such as raw beef, pork, lamb, poultry and seafood for hard-to-detect contaminants like metal, glass, stone and calcified bone, this particular Eagle RMI3/B model was installed primarily to detect the many tiny shell fragments that naturally make their way into the clams’ flesh during the early processing stage aboard the vessels, along with any other unwanted contaminants.

With PLAN Automation having had already completed several packaging line projects at other Clearwater processing facilities, Bowen was confident that the Highland Fisheries installation would also meet Clearwater’s requirements.

That said, PLAN Automation’s vice-president and chief operating officer Mat Bédard says he knew that he had a formidable application challenge on his hands in meeting the plant’s demands for high throughput and accuracy.

“When dealing with raw products, bones and shells are some of the hardest contaminants to detect,” Bédard notes, “because of their low density.

“This Clearwater plant was having an issue with the deshelled clams coming off the boats with broken pieces of shell, so we had to optimize the system’s specific power setting to detect even the smallest shell pieces, as small as two or three millimeters in size,” he explains.

“In addition, we also wanted to give this system the capability for surgical removal of the clams with shell out of the product stream,” Bédard points out, “so it was a two-pronged challenge to both detect the shell and to surgically remove the problem clams.”

To enable this double-tasking capability, PLAN Automation custom-configured the system to remove all clams containing shell fragments off the fast-moving line into the

FOOD SAFETY

reject bins below the system’s outfeed conveyor.

This involved installation of a special 20-nozzle air-blast mechanism, equipped with sanitary valves, to remove the identified problem clams from the product flow.

These separated clams are then passed through the system again in a single file with sufficient spacing between the clams, so that the system can again detect the contaminant and enable line operators to determine which clams can be reworked and salvaged, and which ones to remove from the process.

“When you are running the product in bulk form at speeds of up to 12,000 pounds per hour, you can often end up with four or five good clams being rejected for every true reject clam,” Bédard explains.

“Hence this system was designed to recirculate the rejected

clams in order to separate the true reject clams from the ones that simply fell off the belt as part of that initial removal.

“By employing this double-pass method, the system enables very high-accuracy detection of clams that should be removed, while eliminating potential waste of perfectly good clams,” Bédard points out.

Operating with Eagle’s powerful proprietary SimulTask imaging software, available in 19 different languages, the RMI3/B X-Ray inspection system provides the same detection capabilities across the full size range of the processed clams, which can vary from 1.5 to over four inches in length.

Naturally, the RMI3/B X-Ray inspection system has been designed to exacting industry standards for machine construc-

tion and sanitation, with Bédard citing the equipment’s NAMI (North American Meat Institute) approval rating for sanitation and cleanability “down to microbiological levels.”

Says Bédard: “These are heavy-duty machines that are literally built like tanks to ensure the most rugged and durable construction, along with cleanability.

“Weighing up to 3,000 pounds, they are designed to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature caustic washdowns required in meat plants.

“Moreover, they are equipped with specialty blue food-grade urethane conveyor belts that are also engineered to be completely cleanable to microbiological levels to ensure totally safe products.”

GOOD VIBRATIONS

In addition, PLAN Automation also equipped the machine with a customized vibratory infeed mechanism that arranges the clams into a single layer along the infeed belt to ensure more accurate detection capabilities.

“You don’t want the clams to be lying down on top of each other, as it would make it hard to detect the shells with high precision,” Bédard notes, adding it took PLAN Automation engineers about 12 weeks to complete all the required customization on the machine.

According to Clearwater Seafoods, it was time well spent.

“The high throughput, accuracy and the rejection system are all outstanding features and attributes of Eagle X-Ray technology,” says Bowen, “and the plant staff have indicated the technology is user-friendly and delivers project-defined results.

“All in all, the Eagle X-Ray technology has played a significant role in increasing productivity and defect resolution on the line,” Bowen concludes, “in addition to improving overall product quality for our Arctic Surf Clams.”

OH HAPPY DAY!

Safety mechanization dynamo proudly shows off its brand new location

In the true spirit of business camaraderie and partnership, safety automation powerhouse Pilz Automation Safety Canada L.P. celebrated the recent opening of its brand spanking new headquarters in Mississauga, Ont., with a lavish open house event befitting one of the automation industry’s leading lights.

A leading supplier in safety automation products and solutions, the Canadian subsidiary of Ostfildern, Germany-based Pilz GmbH & Co. has many good reasons to be upbeat about its new Canadian base of operations that promises an abundance of new business opportunities and superb customer experiences.

Previously located in Barrie, more than an hour’s drive north of Toronto, the new 53,000-square-foot facility—housing a 12,000-square-foot warehouse and a training room that can accommodate up to 22 people at a time—the new Mississauga facility offers an accurate reflection of the company’s lofty ambitions for the Canadian marketplace.

“It’s about time that Pilz can show Canadians what Pilz worldwide is all about,” Andreas Sobotta, chief executive officer of Pilz Canada, told Canadian Packaging in an exclusive interview prior to the opening ceremony.

“I am looking forward for Pilz Canada to grow and to add more people. to our staff”

Currently, employing six people at the new offices, Pilz Canada expects to hire at least another 11 fulltime employees in the next couple of years, according to Sobotta.

Citing the increased density of nearby technology partners and prospective customers in the surrounding area, Sobotta asserted that the Mississauga location offers a multitude of benefits to its client base—in large part by being able to add a nice per-

sonal touch to the way the company conducts its everyday business.

“We can now invite customers to visit this location, which we could not do before in Barrie, and Mississauga is right where pretty much everyone else in our line of work is located,” Sobotta explained.

“We have a lot of automation companies and customers here,” he said, “and we are very happy to have a lot of people here at the grand opening.”

OPEN DOORS

Customers and attendees got to see first-hand what Pilz Canada is capable of offering, thanks to a series of impressive live demonstrations of monitors and other automated systems conducted on-site—reinforced with a comprehensive displays of the company’s world-renowned safety switches, configurable control system technologies, and other safety-related innovations.

Prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Sobotta and Pilz GmbH & Co. managing partner Susanne Kunschert took turns addressing the 75 attendees.

Kunschert used her speech to show great admiration

to the team standing behind Pilz Canada, reminding guests that Pilz Canada is built on the pillars of unique people who have worked tirelessly to make the company a success in Canada.

“When you talk about a company, it’s just about people,” Kunschert stated. “This is really what makes it fun when you work––when you get to know the people, when you get to talk about solutions, and when you have projects that you can all do together.

“I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are giving us trust to work together with us.”

For his part, Sobotta used his address to thank its Canadian customers for their loyal support over the years.

“All of you are part of the success of Pilz Canada and we thank you very much for your business, for your support and for your help,” Sobotta said in his crowdpleasing and well-received address.

“With this building, we are able to deliver the Pilz standard to Canada,” he stated.

“We are here today to celebrate the official opening of Pilz Canada office, and we are ready to fulfill our missions,” Sobotta concluded. “We want to make Canada a little bit better every day.”

ONLINE PURSUITS

Upcoming PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2019 brands a wealth of packaging solutions to navigate the fast-growing e-commerce market channels

Sean Riley, Senior Director, Media & Industry Communications, PMMI

BY SEAN RILEY

Consumers today have access to an almost infinite number of products at the click of a mouse or tap of their smartphone. Over the past 10 years, the U.S. e-commerce market has more than doubled its share of retail sales—amounting to $517 billion in 2018.

Though the e-commerce landscape has been growing rapidly, brands must tackle an increasing number of chal lenges to ensure products arrive intact and offer a positive brand experience to consumers.

Rising calls for greater sustainability, online accessibility of organic and natural products, and even the “wow” factor contribute to a tall order. As a result, companies may struggle to identify the best solutions that will ensure a healthy bottom line.

Insight into these changes is critical for brands to stay ahead of the e curve, and manufacturers seeking effective solutions can look to the PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2019 as a valuable resource.

Produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, the growing show—running Sept. 23-25, 2019, at the Las Vegas Convention Center—will feature many innovative suppliers of economical, sustainable and marketable packaging equipped to withstand the rigors of the e-commerce supply chain.

As e-retail grows, supply networks become increasingly complex, prompting a change in brands’ logistical needs.

“Brands face an imbalance of traffic and order cycles due to customers’ holiday shopping, and other special events such as Black Friday,” says Sami Poukka, vicepresident of global business and segment development at UPM Raflatac

As Poukka explains, increased traffic necessitates the need for increased speed, greater efficiency and improved reliability. At the same time, the rapid expansion of e-commerce also requires companies to have a larger inventory of packaging materials, necessitating the management of excess freight cost.

Unless inventory and processes are optimized, brands run the risk of missing sales opportunities and may struggle to balance peak and off-peak traffic.

“The lack of visibility into logistics leaves brands in the dark about where their shipments are once they leave their facilities,” Poukka states. “This can hinder swift customer service and good user experiences, which are essential to keeping consumers coming back.”

Innovations such as UPM Raflatac’s RafMore Internet of Packaging-based smart label solution, help brands manage traffic peaks and order cycles by enabling them to better manage and forecast inventory levels, respond to shipment delays and improve the accuracy of deliveries.

The evolving e-commerce market also changes brands’ packaging needs.

One of the biggest additional cost layers in e-retail comes from sending parcels to individual consumers instead of sending pallets to retailers.

The barrier to entry for e-commerce capable packaging is ensuring the format and design provide the necessary levels of product protection. Crafting productspecific packaging enables brands to reduce freight costs by utilizing less material.

The e-commerce market expansion raises valid concerns about sustainability

“The use of dunnage leads to excess waste and could have a considerable impact on the environment over time as e-commerce continues to expand,” says Joe Albert, vice-president of sales and marketing for  global wrapping technology at Signode Industrial Group.

As improving sustainability remains a focus of the e-commerce market, Signode offers technologies to provide alternative solutions to traditional dunnage. To be showcased at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, these machines provides a stretch wrapping solution that allows products to be secured to trays.

They eliminate the need for extra dunnage within cartonboard packaging and work together with an automatic case sealer, which ensures proper closure and sealing of the protective box.

Alongside this trend, consumers are increasingly purchasing healthier, organic and allergen-free products online. This requires products to have a longer shelf-life to make the journey from processing, packaging and, finally, shipment to consumers.

As consumers continue to gravitate towards healthier food options with fewer preservatives, more food manufacturers look to HPP (High Pressure Processing) technology—utilizing the application of purified cold water at incredibly high pressures—to compensate for a lack of chemical preservatives.

Well-suited for packaging organic and natural foods susceptible to spoilage—especially RTE (Ready-to-Eat) offerings such as fresh juices and dips— HPP provides an effective e-commerce solution that also helps brands meet sustainability targets by utilizing renewable energy and resources.

“HPP technology allows brands to accommodate consumer demands within the e-commerce market with ease,” said Lisa Wessels, marketing director, for HPP at JBT Corporation.

“Food products processed using HPP maintain their quality as well as taste, and are thus suitable to be shipped to consumers worldwide and nationwide, in protective lightweight solutions that take up less space for shipped products.”

According to Wessels, technologies such as Avure’s AV-X—also to be featured at PACK EXPO Las Vegas—offer an upgradable, energy-efficient HPP system with a space-saving design that allows brands to keep up with consumer demand for healthier food options online. (See Pictures)

As Wessels points out, “The expandable machine from JBT Corporation allows e-commerce food producers to manufacture in record volumes, while reducing shrinkage and growing their distribution overnight.”

USING ALL YOUR SMARTS

Manufacturers

deploying mixed reality tools to troubleshoot problems, increase production efficiencies and train their employees

Griffen, Director, Industry Services, PMMI

BY BRYAN GRIFFEN

Characterized by a fusion of technologies that blur the lines between the physical and digital, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is spreading across the manufacturing world.

As a component of this revolution, a growing number of suppliers are using AR (augmented reality) to improve operations in workforce training and equipment maintenance.

In short, AR is a technologically enhanced version of reality created by using technology to overlay digital information on an image of something being viewed through a smart communications device, such as smart goggles or a smartphone camera.

The goggles are often voice-controlled, leaving wearers with both hands free.

According to leading global statistics portal Statista, the global AR market was worth about US$5.91 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach more than US$198.7 billion by 2025.

The technology naturally has a stronghold in the video games and entertainment sector, but a growing number of manufacturing suppliers, including large automated equipment manufacturers, are utilizing the technology to provide their employees and customers with virtual hands-on instruction for operating machinery, troubleshooting and conducting repairs.

In fact, an estimated 10 per cent of Fortune 500 companies have already began exploring shopping and operation applications for AR.

According to market research from Gartner, Inc., about 20 per cent of large enterprises will evaluate and adopt augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality solutions as part of their digital transformation strategy by 2020.

In manufacturing, the “model-based digital twin” is an increasingly popular method for AR technology application.

The digital twin is a clone of the physical asset created to provide a dynamic, self-teaching model to optimize performance in conjunction with an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform.

The combination of machine learning and physics-based modeling enables engineers to create entire AR experiences that show technicians how to service factory floor machines. By using the digital twin, a technician can repair a faulty device in record time and with greater accuracy.

Because In-person training can be an expensive endeavor, which often that important production equipment be readily available for student training, companies can use AR tools to provide real-time visual guidance and to connect students with teachers

without the cost and logistics of getting everyone in the same room.

For example, Bosch Rexroth, a global provider of power units and controls used in manufacturing, uses an AR-enhanced visualization called Hägglunds InSight Live to demonstrate the design and capabilities of its smart, connected CytroPac hydraulic power unit.

The AR application allows customers to see 3D representations of the unit’s internal pump and cooling options in multiple configurations and how the subsystems fit together.

Technicians can also take advantage of smart goggles’ video and photo recording abilities to keep track of progress and keep tabs on errors.

For their part, voice-controlled smart goggles can capture hands-free photos in seconds, and those images can be submitted to off-site teams for troubleshooting help.

Incorporating AR into industrial processes has already proven to be an effective tool in boosting worker productivity.

For example, GE Healthcare warehouse workers use Skylight, an industrial augmented reality application platform from Upskill, to kit and completely pick list orders at up to 46 per cent faster than before.

In this application, Skylight connects to warehouse systems to get real-time information on an item location by connecting to smart warehouse systems.

It then gives workers easy-to-read instructions for where to locate the required items throughout the building.

The previously paper-based process, where workers flipped through printed orders to locate parts and waded through depleted stock locations, is now efficient and digitized.

According to Upskill, industrial users of its AR software have enjoyed an average 32-percent boost in worker productivity.

In another use case, Lockheed Martin used Microsoft’s HoloLens headsets to view holographic renderings of an aircraft’s parts and the instructions on how to assemble them.

According to Lockheed Martin, this AR technology reduced assembly time by 30 per cent, while digitizing the workflow helped it increase engineering efficiency to 96 per cent.

While such studies make a strong argument for AR’s ability to improve operations, many manufacturers may still wonder if augmented reality is worth the investment.

As with any new technology, companies considering investing in AR should be strategic—approaching the opportunity by establishing the bottom-line value first. By approaching digital investment with a clear vision, a phased roadmap, and a focused ecosystem of technology partners will help maximize the returnon-investment in new technology to improve their equipment maintenance, workforce training and other key pillars of manufacturing competitiveness.

DIGITAL DYNAMICS

The evolution of digital printing technologies opening up a wealth of new market opportunities across all CPG sectors

BY SEAN RILEY

Digital package printing technologies that allow brands and manufacturers to respond quickly to customer demands—while improving their supply chain, reducing warehouse costs and waste and enjoying faster time to market—continue to go from strength to strength.

According to a new joint white paper from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies and APT, The Association for Print Technologies, there is a significant opportunity for robust growth in digital printing, as CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies and OEMs (original machine manufacturers) work to keep up with the explosion of SKUs (stock-leepin units) out in the marketplace.

Titled Breadth of Press Offerings for Digital Packaging Printing, the white paper describes the extent to which the digital printing sector welcomes new trends like retailer-specific packages, micromarketing, sustainability and traceability concerns, as they are driving companies toward digital packaging applications.

Traditional print technologies represent a very mature market, with a large installed base of equipment and new machines being added to the field every month.

In contrast, digital is in its infancy, with a tiny installed base of equipment but high CAGR (compund annual growth rate) trajectories.

According to recent estimates, digital printing output currently accounts for less than one percent of total packaging volume across labels, folding carton, flexible and corrugated—presenting a significant opportunity for growth for brand-owners, technology suppliers, CPGs, retailers, contract packagers and converters.

Since digital print in packaging is considered a relatively new technology, no one is deemed to be late to market.

It is estimated that over 900 digital packaging presses have been sold in the U.S. in the last decade, according to the APT, but that number is expected to increase nearly twofold to 1,600 presses by 2022.

When itcomes to printing, CPGs care most about image quality and how their product projects on store-shelves. When asked what the top digital print advantages are for their brand,“higher quality” received the highest rating, according to PMMI’s white paper, indicating that CPGs see an opportunity to use digital to create higher value-added packaging.

The top advantages after image quality involve costs and the supply chain, with factors like warehousing efficiency, speed-tomarket, and shorter runs driving adoption. Brand-owners also said that digital could eventually offer a more affordable option for their needs in light of shorter runs and the ability to meet increased demand for products during promotional campaigns.

For all that, a digital printing process could cost more up front, which many brands seeing as a risk.

However, the always-advancing digital technology can help them achieve things previously out of reach and enhance packaging applications’ value potential, accordiong to some compelling, real-world case studies presented in the white paper.

In one case study, a global CPG company with a strong presence in personal care expanded into private labels for hotels and restaurant chains with the aim of broadening its business footprint and revenue.

The company needed more print jobs with shorter custom runs for each hotel and restaurant and with different graphics, content, logos and languages for each— thereby positioned digital as the best option for its production and versioning needs. Enentually, investing in digitally printed in-mold labeling allowed the company to enter a new market segment and increase its total revenues.

For CPGs and brand-owners, it is essential to find ways whefe digital can boost

spee- to-market and improve the supply chain. Consumers’ expectations are changing in how they want and need to interact with the brands they buy, and the omnichannel is shifting how consumers buy. Digital printing allows brands to be more agile with their packaging and use their consumer data to test market to customers based on geography, seasonality, buying habits, age and so on.

Moreover, digital can be used for creative promotions and to create buzz for the brand in the market.

Many CPGs have already experienced success using short-run digital print to design new and interactive packaging and, in turn, create a quick uplift of sales figures in one-off promotions.

But the new design still needs to connect the customer with the product using existing iconography, shapes or logos. In other words, the package cannot be different just for the sake of being different.

While using digital for packaging print can create a buzz in the market, the true transformation that digital will offer CPGs comes via the supply chain. Digital print used in a targeted fashion for consistent, long-term, project-based work can reduce costs associated with transportation, warehousing and obsolescence.

It also allows CPGs to get products to customers faster so they can adapt to ever changing market dynamics. For forward-thinking equipment, software and supplies manufacturers, success in the digital market is incumbent upon an ability to support a variety of packaging applications and develop products that can compete with the productivity of conventional equipment, while emphasizing the value-add that comes with digital.

As for the converters, the ability to educate customers and print buyers about “what is possible” is critical, as well as building a business plan for growth that includes hiring salespeople and operators ready for the technology.

With digital printing on the cusp of the mainstream, and to meet the industry demand head-on, PMMI will use the upcoming PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2019 show as the launch plaform to debut The PACKage Printing Pavilion—the industry’s main stage for package printing innovations that will provide show visitors with a comprehensive display of all the latest digital technologies that can help them achieve true 21st Century package printing excellence. See you there!

WHO MAKES/SELLS WHAT AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

- Randall Belcot,

“Our Canadian Packaging-produced videos work great. We had prospects calling us as soon as the video Canadian Packaging made for us deployed to their e-audience,” maintains Randall Belcot of Reiser Canada.

“They do everything. Shoot the video. Conduct the interview with our customer. Deploy the finished product to their e-audience. Tremendous response!”

Looking to put some zip into your marketing program? Call me today to make a video with audio interview at your facility or at one of your satisfied customers. You’ll be glad you did. STEPHEN DEAN 416-510-5198

CHECKOUT

PACKAGING BUZZ STILL A WORK-IN-PROGRESS

When I first learned legal recreational cannabis use was to become a reality, like a true Checkout columnist, I wondered what the packaging paradigm would come to look like. Would we be forced to buy legal weed in pimped out packages covered with indulgent pot-memes? Or would dreadlock stereotypes give way to a more refined experience, like purchasing a fine wine or a well-aged cheese? After finally venturing out to purchase some legal weed, it turns out to be neither. Strict rules aimed at ensuring young people aren’t enticed into using cannabis have pretty much legislated the fun out of things from a packaging perspective. For once, package design has had nothing to do with the insatiable demand for a product that has led to shortages in availability and a bit of a backlash against the way some provincial governments have rolled legalized weed out to consumers. In the end, I’m glad it’s legal because it was the right choice for a mature society. That said, I wish the industry could have been given the creative leeway that its primary competitors—namely the wine, spirits and beer industries—enjoy to market their products.

In lieu of exciting marketing options, most pot shops have had to rely on personal service and store set-up to gain that competitive edge. On my first visit to one of Toronto’s recently opened storefronts, the service and selection happened to be as bland as the pot packaging itself. In the end, I settled on a one-gram box of a strain called Harmonic produced by AltaVie, the recreational offshoot of Markham, Ont.-based medical marijuana producer MedReleaf. The red-eyed salesperson handed it to me in a grey cardboard box, which is consistent with the government’s rule limiting packaging to a single, uniform color. A little larger than a deck of cards, the most prominent elements on the package were the “stop sign” logo that denotes it as a cannabis product, and the large black-on-yellow health warnings cautioning users about weed’s darker side. The only real packaging innovation I could detect was how AltaVie dealt with the childproofing requirement. As the handy infographic located on the top panel indicates, people need to simultaneously push in two tabs along the backside of the box in order to slide the inner plastic packaging free from the cardboard. Hopefully, this doesn’t get more difficult as users indulge.

on-site. If that’s too much trouble, you can set up an account, print up a UPS label, and send it to TerraCycle for free. From there, TerraCycle will see that the plastic is melted down and reused in some other fashion.

Pot producers certainly face heavy restrictions, but those involved in the exploding paraphernalia market have obviously been getting creative. One visit to a local head shop and you’ll see a rainbow of products, from high-tech vaporizers to blown glass bongs and pipes of all shapes and sizes. What caught my eye, however, was the colorful display of rolling papers found in the display case of the Toronto Hemp Company, where I ended up purchasing two packs of the Trailer Park Boys-branded rolling papers from Jimmy Zee’s, the Port Coquitlam, B.C.-based distributor of so-called “Man Cave” items. If you’re unfamiliar with the Trailer Park Boys television show currently streaming on NetFlix, think of it as a crass modern-day cross between The Three Stooges black-and-white films from the 1930s and 1940s and the low-budget flicks put out in the late 1970s and early 1980s by the once-groundbreaking stoner comedy duo Cheech and Chong. With 32 leaves per pack, it’s a fun and gimmicky way to inject a bit of made-in-Canada humor into one’s pot experience.

My wife and I look for just about any reason to celebrate—pot legalization, an important anniversary, the arrival of the weekend, etc. As many will agree, a real celebration requires a bit of bubbly to make it official, which is why a single-serve 200-ml bottle of Freixenet from Spanish bubbly producer Freixenet S.A. is a frequent fixture of our kitchen refrigerator. Styled after the standard-sized 750-ml bottle of Brut, these mini bottles are not really all that new, but for many occasions they offer just the right amount of celebratory cheer for couples who may not necessarily consume 750-ml of the sweet and highly carbonated libation or, worse still, just leave the leftovers in the fridge to go flat, or worse.

While regulations require the containers to be intentionally bland, the government did give producers some leeway on the size, shape and packaging materials that they can use. Fittingly, Smith Falls, Ont.-based producer Tweed Inc. have used this wiggle room to distinguish themselves and their products by offering dried flowers in black plastic cube containers. The 3.5-gram container I got (empty) from a friend was about the size and weight of a standard Rubic’s Cube, which uses a child guard mechanism similar to those found on prescription pill bottles. Each strain gets its own name and color association, such as the pale-pink Balmoral strain pictured here. The only real problem I initially had with the container was on the environmental level: I would loathe to see these cubes form yet another garbage island somewhere in the middle of the Pacific. To their credit, though, Tweed has joined forces with Toronto-based upcycling specialists TerraCycle Canada to create a recycling program ensuring cannabis containers get diverted from landfill sites. Once you’re done with your cube, you can take it back to a Tweed-partnered retailer and conveniently drop it in the recycling box

With all that celebrating, it’s important to take care of ourselves and eat well, which is what lead me to discover Fresh City, billed as Canada’s largest city farm, located at Downsview Park in Toronto’s north end. With one storefront in the city, and another on the way, the company, along with its network of member farmers and its 3,000 square foot greenhouse, relies mainly on its delivery service and pick-up hubs to provide consumers with locally produced organic options on a year-round basis. I recently tried their delicious gluten-free, vegan Falafel salad jar, which arrived on my doorstep in a reusable, insulated tote bag, along with a cooler pack, to keep everything fresh. Layered with quinoa, chickpeas, grape tomatoes, cucumbers and falafel—and topped with a delectable tahini dressing—this healthy option is perfect right out of the jar or for sharing. shared with others. Once done I just leave the delivery tote with the rinsed out jars on my doorstep for pick-up on my next delivery date.
