Sharing a Coke with family or friends is an enduring tradition that goes back several generations in Canada and many other countries, and a new nationShare a Coke marketing campaign launched last month by Coca-Cola Ltd. clearly intends to ensure that this special crossgenerational bonding experience will remain a fine Canadian tradition for years to come.
In a nutshell, the campaign revolves around swapping the iconic Coca-Cola logo on the container’s label for a name selected by Canadian consumers themselves online or searched out at the point-of-sale.
Officially launched at this year’s world-renowned Calgary Stampede, the success of the Share a Coke all-out charm offensive in Canada is a matter of significant importance for the world’s most iconic carbonated soda brand—coming at a time of significant erosion of market share for all carbonated beverages due to fierce competition from an ever-increasing number of beverage alternatives ranging from enhanced waters to fruit juices and caffeine-laden energy drinks.
Whether it ultimately succeeds or not, for now it’s only fair to give Coca-Cola full credit in leaving no stone unturned it is quest to re-engage the Canadian consumers. As a model of thoughtfully integrated and consumercentric marketing, brandbuilding and active consumer interaction, the Share a Coke marketing blitz has it all, including:
• A dedicated website (www.shareacoke.ca) to serve as the campaign’s “experience hub,” which includes the app for enabling consumers to customize their own virtual Coca-Cola with a user-selected name of their choice from a

list containing more than 290 of Canada’s most popular names, as well as colloquial titles such as Mom, Dad, Best Friend and Coach.
• Social media and user-generated content that will include activity on Facebook , Instagram, Twitter and YouTube promising an “extensive influencer engagement program.”
• A total 76 tour stops/kiosks at various events across the country, where fans can create their own customized mini-cans in real time while in line.
None of this would be possible without a uncanny packaging and labeling flexibility enabled by today’s new-generation digital printing press technologies to facilitate changeovers for nearly 300 name changes in true on-demand fashion for the multitude of the Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero bottles and cans of various shapes and sizes. With approximately more than 27 million bottles produced exclusively for this campaign, getting all the right labels to all the right markets was naturally a monumental supply-chain challenge, says senior marketing manager Sonia Bongiorno.
“We aimed to be as inclusive as possible in researching each name’s popularity in both English and French Canada, to ensure that proper inventory was sent to each region,” says Bongiorno, pointing out the name list represents over 60 per cent of Canadian population. (For the record, the two most popular names in English Canada were Jessica and John, with Jessica and Maxime topping the list in Quebec.)
Says Bongiorno: “There are plenty of ways to share a Coke to provide a special moment of happiness for family, friends and loved ones, someone they miss or have a crush on by finding their name and sharing that Coke with them.
“Coca-Cola has always been about happiness and sharing good times, and this will bring these shared moments of happiness to life.”
Oh happy day!

No longer just a Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner table staple, turkey meat has evolved from its once-niche status in recent years to become a highly versatile, popular and convenient meat product that perfectly meets modern consumers’ relentless demand for healthier, leaner and tasty meat options with high protein content and significantly reduced fat and caloric intake.
Now widely available as burgers, sausages and all manner of sandwich meats and cold cuts at virtually any grocery outlet, turkey is also quickly evolving as a healthy, tasty snack-food to satisfy even the strongest meat craving—thanks to innovative meat-processing companies like the Waterloo, Ont.headquartered Piller’s Fine Foods
Long-renowned as one of Canada’s leading processors of European-style deli meats, the company’s recent launch of the new range of low-calorie Piller’s Original Turkey Bites meat sticks offers busy Canadian families a perfect on-the-go, worry-free protein boost for outdoor activities, family picnics, camping trips, long car rides to the beach and just about any other such occasion.
Produced at one of the company’s Ontario-based meat-processing plants in Brantford along with the new lowcalorie Piller’s Chicken Nibblers and Piller’s Simply Free Kolbassa chubs, each of the smoke-flavored sticks— packed inside resealable see-through plastic pouches manufactured by Winpak Ltd.—contain a mere 50 calories, while delivering between six and seven grams of protein apiece.
“Our low-calorie meat snacks are an excellent source of protein for the whole family, whether away from home or on a so-called staycation,” says Piller’s director of marketing Rita Weigel.
“According to Health Canada, the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) of protein for pre-teens and teens between nine and 18 is 34 to 52 grams,” Weigel points out,
“While the average adult needs 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, athletes need almost double that, and our delicious and nutritious meat snacks can help achieve that too,” says Weigel, adding that the company’s original version of Piller’s Turkey Bites has recently become the bestselling meat-snack brand in Canada.
Moreover, the entire range of Piller’s deli-style meat-stick products are made gluten-free, Weigel points out, and are also free from other common allergens such as milk, peanuts, tree nuts, mustard, sesame, egg, fish, soy and sulphites.
Featuring artisan-inspired packaging design graphics developed by Waterloo-based Eyelight Creative Marketing Services and Milestone Integrated Marketing of Cambridge, Ont., the low-calorie Turkey Bites are retailed in 300-gram thermoformed packs containing 10 pepperoni-styled sticks per pack and
175-gram vacuum-packed film pouches containing five sticks apiece, as well as in 250-gram thermopacks filled with shorter chub-style, bite-sized meat treats.
“We took special care to develop packaging that would make sharing these delicious treats easy, with no fuss or muss, especially in moving cars or boats,” Weigel explains.
Founded in 1967 in Waterloo by Wilhelm Huber using family recipes, quality ingredients, and traditional European sausage-making methods, the family-owned Piller’s has become one of North America’s largest producers of European-style sausages and deli meats—renowned for award-winning products such as Black Forest ham and air-dried salamis—today employing about 600 people at production facilities in Waterloo, Brantford, Arthur and Toronto.
Industrial robotic systems supplier ABB Canada has formed a partnership with Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning to advance robotics education among Canada’s postsecondary college students—including establishment of the new ABB Robotics Centre in the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies (CAMDT) facility at the college’s Davis Campus in Brampton, Ont. Equipped with more than a dozen robots and related workcells, software and controllers, the ABB Robotics Centre will allow both students and industry partners to obtain training in applications that include robotic welding, picking, packing, palletizing, machine tending, material handling, product assembly, and advanced vision-related programming. “Our partnership with ABB will extend far beyond supplying this new equipment to outfit the Centre,” says Sheridan’s associate dean of mechanical and electrical engineering Farzad Rayegani. “ABB will be involved in educating our students and staff in its use, building a strong foundation for co-op opportunities and future full-time employment,” says Rayegani, explaining that ABB will also team up
with Sheridan in applied research initiatives to provide consulting and training to third-party industry partners who wish collaborate with CAMDT on highly-specialized robotics projects. Says Rayegani: “The goal is to create an ecosystem where multidisciplinary teams can come together to solve advanced technical challenges that enrich the community as a whole.”
End-of-line packaging machinery manufacturer Wexxar Packaging Inc., a subsidiary of the Loveland, Ohio-headquartered industrial equipment group Pro Mach, Inc., has officially opened up its new, 100,0000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Richmond, B.C., to accommodate the company’s buoyant business grow th.
“The new facility symbolizes the work and dedication of Wexxar employees and will serve as the foundation for our company to grow and expand into the future,” says Wexxar Packaging general manager William Chu. Housing all three of Wexxar’s operating divisions—including Wexxar/Bel, IPak Machinery and Dekka Industries —the new facility (see picture) is located at 13471 Vulcan Way, Richmond, B.C. Tel.

Mississauga, Ont.-based prepress technologies supplier Agfa Graphics has opened up operations of a new warehouse location in London, Ont., to serve the company’s growing business base across Canada with better logistical and operation efficiencies. “Our objective is always to improve the level of services to our customers,” says Agfa Graphics managing director Ruben Silva. “By expanding operations we can provide a wider portfolio of innovative products that give a competitive edge to our customers and partners, with the ultimate goal of improving the customer experience to create a real win-win.” According to Agfa Canada, the new location (see picture) is well-stocked with the full range of the consumables, hardware and software for production workflow, project and color managements produced by its Belgianheadquartered parent company AgfaGevaert N.V., as well as the popular line of Jeti inkjet systems manufactured by Agfa Canada for global distribution in Mississauga.

Saving our planet’s vital ecosystems lies at the root of all meaningful environmental initiatives, and for leading global packaging products group Amcor, there is no such thing as going too far to do its part for the greater green good.
Even if that means sending it workers to some of the most hardto-reach places on earth, which is what it’s done for the last 14 years via its annual Earthwatch expeditions, conducted in partnership with the Boston, Mass.-headquartered global wildlife conservation group Earthwatch Institute
This coming October, Amcor will send 15 more employees to environmental research expeditions in Brazil and India, where they will learn about and contribute to
conservation, biodiversity, climate change and ecosystem health.
According to Amcor’s chief executive officer Ken MacKenzie, participating in such expeditions is essential for creating a strong workplace culture that prizes environmental sustainability.
“As a global packaging leader, we’re acutely aware of our responsibility to create more sustainable packaging solutions that protect the products consumers need and enjoy on a daily basis,” MacKenzie says.
“By providing the opportunity to participate in these expeditions, we hope to inspire a workforce of leaders who value the environment in their everyday choices, both at work and in their community.”
According to Amcor, five of its employees will spend two weeks near the Amazonian rainforest in Brazil to support research to help protect jaguars, pumas and maned wolves—all under threat by loss of habitat—while another 10 Amcor staff will spend 12 days in the Himalayan Mountains in India to research the troubling population declines of important pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
A takeout food treat is hardly a treat when it comes loaded with the ‘Green Guilt’ complex of throwaway dishware.
And the fact that some two tonnes of polycoated paperboard containers around the world are discarded into the wastestream each passing minute—enough to cover the famed Empire State Building in New York City more than 70 times a day—can be a bitter pill to swallow for many eco-sensitive foodservice operators and their customers.
Happily for them, a brand new line of foodgrade paperboard developed by Canada’s leading corrugated produ cer Norampac be the missing ingredient in the fast-food industry’s longfestering challenge of reducing its environmental footprint.
be achieved with polycoated paperboard, which cannot be recycled after use.
Incorporating a proprietary water-based barrier coating formulated to ensure the same performance characteristics as polycoated cardboard, according to Norampac, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) -approved Respak material is said to be both recyclable and compostable, while boasting at least 50-percent recycled content.
Designed primarily for the food and foodservice industries, the new Respak range of paperboard is claimed to provide the same effective water-, grease- and oil-repelling properties that until now could only
According to a preliminary LCA (Life-Cycle Assessment) study conducted by Norampac—a subsidiary of the Kingsey Falls, Que.-headquartered forest products group Cascades —the elemental chlorine-free (ECF) Respak features a 50-percent smaller environmental footprint that the standard polycarbonated cardboard stock, and it is compatible for safe use with a broad range of dry, aqueous and fatty foods.
If true beauty is to be found in the eyes of the beholder, then the new joint recycling effort launched by beauty products giant Henkel and metal packaging leader Ball Corporation should a joy to behold on many levels.
Launched in late spring, the initiative was facilitated by Ball’s new breakthrough technology that utilizes recycled aluminum to create a metal alloy that exhibits increased strength and allows lightweighting of the container without affecting package integrity.
Initially to be used for Henkel’s bestselling Fa brand of body sprays and deodorants, the new process enables Ball to lightweight its extruded aluminum aerosol packaging by as much as 10 per cent, according to the company, with further lightweighting expected in the future.
headquartered Ball Corporation.
“Thanks to our cross-enterprise expertise, we were able to add recycled aluminum from Ball’s beverage can plants into our slug manufacturing processes, reduce the amount of metal used, and lightweight the industry’s standard extruded aluminum package,” Feldser adds.
“This helps improve the carbon footprint of a popular product and enhances the environmental performance of both companies.”
One of the world’s leading manufacturers of aerosol packaging, Ball also ranks as the biggest producer of recyclable aluminum beverage cans and aluminum “slugs,” or metal disks that are impact-extruded to produce aerosol product packaging for body sprays, sun screens and hair sprays.
“As global sustainability leaders, Ball and Henkel continually strive to improve our environmental impact while responsibly running our businesses and increasing stakeholder value,” says Michael Feldser, chief operating officer for global metal food and household products packaging, at the Bloomfield, Colo.-
According to Ball, months of collaboration with Henkel enabled its global metal technology experts and innovation teams to develop a method for utilizing either post-consumer recycled aluminum or aluminum recycled from its global beverage can operations to produce the new slugs. Until now, almost all the extruded aluminum aerosol packaging has been made from virgin slugs, says Ball.

The ongoing success of Lakeside Produce has recently acquired greater importance in the H.J. factory, and consequently widely
In light of the Heinz plant’s closure this past May, it is now up to companies like Lakeside Produce to
ation-run Cervini family-owned operation that pers sold in over 100 SKUs (stock-keeping units), getting its start in 1943, when Antonio Cervini
With acreage expansion and field and greenhouse production increasing over the years, grandson Anthony became one of the first farmers to utilize
computers to operate greenhouse growing facilities.
With brothers Chris and John running the business for the past 20 years, Chris recently assumed the position as lone owner and operator of the company, with the family’s long-nurtured affection for the industry well-evidenced throughout the enterprise.
“Growing up, I literally had vegetables in my blood and dirt from farming under my fingernails,”
Chris Cervini told Canadian Packaging during a recent interview. “But having said that, Lakeside Produce is not just your typical farm and processor.”
Cervini explains that the company primarily specializes in producing bell peppers, beefsteak tomatoes and seedless cucumbers, which it offers for retail sale, offering them in a broad variety of packaging formats.
format in 11-pound corrugated cartons, as well as in three- and four-count flowwrapped, recycled food-grade poly film that provides a longer shelf-life;
• Vine-ripened beefsteak tomatoes—considered to be the ideal sandwich tomato owing to its structure that holds up well when sliced—are packed in a 15-pound RPC (reusable plastic containers) tote format, with an added recycled foam liner, a four-count #1 RPET (post-consumer recycled PET) clamshell, and in 15-pound 100-percent kraft boxes with a recycled plastic liner;
• Sweet-tasting tomatoes-on-the-vine, are mediumsized tomatoes grown in clusters, and are available in polybags; biodegradable mesh bags; 11-pound kraft boxes with a recyclable plastic liner, and a 13-pound RPC tote with recycled foam liner;
• Featuring a crisp texture, Lakeside’s seedless
cucumbers are available in individual wraps, as well as in two- and three-pack poly film bags; and 12-count packs of small-, medium- and large-sized veggies in kraft containers;
• M ini-cucumbers, are sweeter than the larger variety, available in a two-pound resealable clear perforated film bags; and six- and eight-count degradable foam trays with a degradable foodgrade film covering both the veggies and the trays.
Says Cervini: “Along with these well-received vegetables, we also offer some exclusive varieties, which we top off with some innovative packaging.” These exclusive varieties include:
• Stramato, a strawberry-shaped sweet tomato packed in nine-ounce #1 RPET clamshells;
• Rubies Sweet Grape Tomatoes —sweet but healthy—available in one-pint and two-pound #1 RPET clamshells;
• Red Delights cocktail tomato packed in onepound RPET clamshells;
• Heirloom Tomatoes with it balance of sweetness and acidity packed in 15-pound RPC plastic totes and 10-pound kraft boxes;
• Solo Sweet Bell Peppers, individually flowwrapped in respiration-controlled, 100 per cent recyclable polypropylene film to capture its color and quality over an extended shelf life, and;
• Baby Eggplant, with its delicate skin and sweet flavor and melting consistency that makes it ideal for grilling, available in 11-pound kraft boxes for the Fancy and Graffiti varieties. Currently, the Lakeside Produce production is housed within a 70,000-square-foot facility, with 180 full-time employees and an additional 75 contract workers. The company also possess an additional 30 acres of its own greenhouse used to grow organic veggies, and according to Cervini, Lakeside Produce is also in the process of a major enlargement to its facility.
“By the time November of 2014 rolls around, we will have increased our warehouse space by an additional 45,000-square-foot warehousing and 30,000 square feet of mezzanine space for production,” Cervini reveals.
Thanks to the greenhouse operations in Leaming -
ton and Guadalajara, Mexico, Lakeside Produce is able to bring customers high-quality produce every day of the year, according to Cervini.
“Every time is busy time for us,” Cervini points out. “In the winter, we get incoming product from Mexico, while summer is busy with our own greenhouse production and our growing partners.”
With some 20 per cent of its vegetables packed for private-label customers, the company’s clientbase comprises foodservice and retail operators throughout North America, with the latter accounting for the higher percentage of its output.
The daily production process of Lakeside Produce begins with harvesting vegetables from its greenhouses, which are carefully placed into picking carts that are then moved into a packaging shed, to be packaged into the various pack styles.
Says Cervini: “All of our produce is packed to only the highest of quality standards.
“We are proud to achieve this lofty goal by using the latest in packaging equipment technologies and with the expertise of our experienced employees.”
All of the Lakeside Produce packaging lines feed into the company’s automated PTI (Product Traceability Initiative) line that is designed to accurately—and quickly—identify the pack style using a vision system, as well as auto-applying the PTI label directly onto a master carton.
Lakeside Produce operates a total of seven packing lines running two full shifts a day, seven-days-per-week, including:
• M aster line for individually and multi-wrapped bell peppers;
• Genio line for individually and multi-wrapped peppers and tomatoes;
• Aweta line, set-up specifically to size and wrap individual cucumbers;
• Clamshell line, a high-performance conveyor system utilized for the Grape and Stramato tomato varieties;
• Omori overwrap line wraps trays of mini-cucumbers;
• STS shrinkwrap line shrinkwraps three-count of the conventional cucumbers;
• Weighpack/Lakewood line–utilizes a WeighPack Systems’ highspeed PrimoCombi multihead weigher and sanitary incline infeed conveyor, along with Lakewood Process Machinery’s grading and packing modules to pack grapesized tomatoes.
One of the company’s most-recently installed fill lines, is a turnkey packaging solution comprising technologies from WeighPack and Lakewood that Cervini says can accurately fill grape tomatoes or mini peppers into clamshell packaging or into bags to within two to four grams of the desired weight.
When it comes to packaging ground beef, only Reiser gives you this many choices. We offer a wide range of packaging equipment so that you can choose the best solution for your application.

We have machines that produce all of these packages –and more importantly –we can help determine which one is right for you. Plus, you can test any of these packaging machines for yourself at our Reiser Customer Center. Contact us today and set up a demonstration.
“It’s an impressive line,” says Cervini, adding that with the Lakewood components, “the line allows us to wash, grade, easily size product and auto-dispense clamshell packs onto the line before filling via the PrimoCombi, and then automatically closing and labeling the lid.”
The Perfect Weight
Purchased in November of 2013, WeighPack’s solution consists of the industry-respected PrimoCombi, a 14-head weigher claimed to represent the next generation of combination weighing technology.
“The PrimoCombi weigher system offers us high-speed and accuracy when weighing our ruby tomatoes into 10-ounce and two-pound clamshells,” says Cervini. “It has 14 scales, which provides many different combinations, and provides us with greater accuracy of product weight in our packs.”
WeighPack’s territory manager Mark Conforti
fondly recalls the opportunity to demonstrate the company’s solutions for Lakeside Produce at WeighPack’s world-class Las Vegas Systems Center facility.
“We demonstrated the wide range of products we have on display, and focused in on the PrimoCombi for their application,” recounts Conforti.
“This provided the best opportunity to truly appreciate not only the technology and quality packaging machinery that WeighPack manufactures, but also prove that our PrimoCombi multihead weigher will provide better accuracy than the traditional linear net weighing scales commonly used in the tomato industry.”
The companies began working together over several months to incorporate the PrimoCombi multihead weigher and Incline Infeed Conveyor into Lakeside Produce’s production line to automatically weigh and fill from one pint up to twopounds of grape tomatoes.
WeighPack’s high-speed, servo-driven XPdius i-130 V/F/F/S (vertical form, fill and seal) bagging system into the line to accommodate production of pillow-style pouches in the future.
According to Conforti, WeighPack designed, engineered and manufactured the PrimoCombi packaging system to operate at speeds of 40 to 50 clamshell trays per minute with a single dispensing station.
“It was crucial that the line be designed with product safety in mind, including minimal drop points and softer transition points to help eliminate product bruising,” explains Conforti.
“Most importantly, we added a product stopper to the inside transitioning of the PrimoCombi to reduce the drop height and velocity of the product flow into the clamshells.”
The PrimoCombi multihead weigher is the first open-frame CAN-BUS wired combination scale that houses all electronics from one central electrical enclosure, which reduces electrical components by up to 80 per cent and cost of ownership, according to WeighPack, while the open-frame design is easier to clean, easier to service and easier to perform product changeovers.
The PrimoCombi system utilizes Windows PC controls, that are embedded with Crystal Reports, Skype, and LogMeIn.com capabilities for free online support, customizes reporting, automatic triggers and other key functionalities.
“It was a real pleasure working with the team at Lakeside Produce,” relates Conforti. “They had a plan and a vision that they were able to clearly articulate, which in turn made it easy for us to understand their needs and expectations,” relates Conforti.
To complete the line, Cervini says that Lakewood supplied: an infeed conveyor; a metering hopper; trash eliminator; a long-brush washer system; an elevating, roller inspection conveyor; custom roll sizer, and; an indexing clamshell conveyor.
“In my opinion, we have the best equipment from two companies and have combined them into this one line to create a fast and cost-effective method of cleaning and packing our ruby tomatoes,” Cervini asserts.
Other suppliers and equipment utilized by Lakeside Produce, include:
espiration-controlled plastic bags from Crawford Industries, extend the shelf-life of the vegetable products;
Three Toshiba TEC BEX4T1-G label printerapplicator systems supplied by Leamington’s MGI Ltd.;
A 3600PA series label printer-applicator from CTM Labeling Systems —a high-speed, thermal-transfer labeler to print and apply pressuresensitive labels onto corrugated trays.
M aster cartons supplied by Rock-Tenn; wo case erectors, including a Wexxar ATH MUB and an IPak Machinery TF-350CF model; The WSML-150-B semi-automatic stretchwrapper from Wulftec/M.J. Maillis; eusable signature-blue pallets supplied by CHEP Canada
Being hands-on involved with Mother Nature, the folks at Lakeside Produce are naturally very keen on following sustainability initiatives to keep their operation as ecologically green as possible.
The company practices a strictly-observed Green Focus, a continuous, three-step program that hones in on Lakeside Produce’s green growing practices, sustainable packaging usage, and the manner in
which its products are responsibly distributed.
“Regarding our growing practices,” explains Cervini, “we have always strived to be environmentally responsible, and we consider ourselves an industry leader in adopting green policies.”
To support his claim, Cervini says the company uses actual bumblebees to pollinate the plants; small, harmless wasps rather than pesticides to keep the produce safe; heavy-duty scrubbers to clean CO2 (carbon-dioxide) emissions that are then recycled back into the greenhouses; and reusable rockwool (stone wool fiber made from molten rock) to grow the plants in, results in reduced growing costs, increased crop yields, and is recyclable.
Lakeside Produce, uses a computer-controlled system in its greenhouses to dispense exact amounts of nutrients, water and CO2 for maximum plant growth, with the water and nutrients dispersed via a specially-designed water recycling system.
After the vegetable plants are watered in the greenhouses, the extra water that is not used by the plants travels through a troughing system and is sterilized by an UV (ultraviolet) system, before being mixed back in with fresh water and fresh fertilizer, to ensure that proper nutrients are given to the plants.
With regards to sustainable packaging, Cervini says the company has been using kraft boxes since 2007, after replacing styrofoam and plastic trays with a compostable sugar cane and bull rush plant trays.
“Our plastic clamshell packaging is manufactured from recycled material that is recyclable,” mentions Cervini. “As an added bonus, it provides our vegetables with great barrier protection and an increased shelf life.”
Lakeside Produce has also implemented a continuous practice to try and streamline its operations to use as little packaging materials as possible, including the use of using recyclable plastic containers for shipping.
Moreover, the company’s letterhead, promotional materials and product ID cards are all printed on recycled stock, while point-of-sale materials have been recorded on DVDs in order to minimize paper waste.
Cervini says the company’s international distribution network is a fine-tuned, computer-controlled system that works with an integrated inventory control software to make sure it can provide the most efficient delivery method possible.
“We maximize our freight trucks to keep the carbon footprint lighter, and have our drivers work in teams to ensure delivery is safe for them, while maintaining efficiency,” explains Cervini. “We have also installed GPS (Global Position System) on our vehicles to optimize routing and dispatching for better fuel efficiency, while also providing us with automatic maintenance reports and alerts to ensure our trucks are safe and operating efficiently,” explains Cervini.
The company also maintains a distribution network across North America that not only allows it to offer customers fresh produce year-round, but also enables it to significantly reduce shipping costs and travel distances.
“We’ve even added side skirts to our highway trailers to reduce drag and provide increased fuel efficiency,” Cervini points out.
To top it all off, all the vegetables and organic matter deemed unsatisfactory for consumer use is sent to Seacliff Energy, a nearby natural gas plant, that takes all of the organic material and composts it in a biodigester to make liquid fertilizer, while generating electricity from heat produced by the composting process.
Cervini says, “Dealing with vegetables is all about being green in every sense of the word.”

Canadian dairy packaging products manufacturer keeping things fresh with a new cutting-edge printing press and a wealth of best-of-breed converting technologies
ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR PHOTOS BY COLE GARSIDE
Like a catchy tune you can’t easily get out of your head, the old jingle verse “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream” enjoys enduring popularity amongst millions of Canadian consumers—especially in the hot summer months.
And this enduring love affair with one of the most popular desserts of all time is all sweet music to the good folks as Stanpac Inc., a well-estab lished Canadian manufacturer of a broad range of consumer packaging products for the dairy indus try, with a special knack for excellence in the icecream products category.
Based in Smithville, Ont., the company is nowa days a well-renowned packaging supplier of rigid and flexible packaging and glass containers for a fairly diverse cross-section of food-and-beverage markets, enjoying a widely acknowledged majeure status within the dairy sector, as a wellearned reward for its long and proud history.
Originally founded in Burlington, Ont., back in the 1940s, the company first started out manufac turing paperboard cap closures for glass milk bot tles, generally sticking to that niche segment until its was bought out by local entrepreneur Steve Witt in 1971, who proceeded to move the business to Smithville two years later, renaming it Stanpac.
After establishing that the company’s core business of manufacturing those same paperboard cap closures was in general decline, Witt worked tirelessly over the years to significantly diversify and evolve Stanpac’s product portfolio, which today proudly boasts a big slate of packaging innovations for the highly-competitive ice-cream, fluid milk and wine-and-spirits product categories.
According to Witt, Stanpac today ranks as the undisputed Number One producer of paper packaging for ice-cream in Canada and amongst the top five in North America—an astonishing feat for a company that only got involved in the ice-cream business in 2004.
For all that success with product diversification, Stanpac still takes special pride in its original milkcap business.
“Even after we purchased the Solo Cup ice cream packaging division of Sweetheart Cup Company in 2008, our milk cap operation continued to be an important part of the business,” Stanpac copresident Matt Witt told Canadian Packaging during a visit to the company headquarters, one of three Stanpac facilities situated less than a kilometer from each other.
The founder’s sons Matt and Andrew Witt took over the day-to-day operations from their father Steve this past January—and all are understandably buoyant on Stanpac’s near- and long-term business prospects.
An important source of local manufacturing jobs, Stanpac nowadays employs a total of 215 fulltime workers at its Smithville operations, which include a 110,000-square-foot Stanpac headquar -

“We also have a 300,000-square-foot manufac turing and warehouse facility in Brenham, Texas, which we utilize to ensure easier distribution for our customers in the southwestern U.S.,” explains co-president Andrew Witt, adding the Texas plant also employs 135 employees to manufacture paper board ice-cream packaging.

“It’s still very visible on a lot of different food packaging, but most people are probably most familiar with it as the tamper-evident solution commonly found on ketchup and mustard bottles.”
According to Bain, Stanpac is still the only company to offer a successful one-piece tamper-evident solution for paperboard ice-cream packaging.
“We have developed a tamper-evident band that separates from the lid when the package is opened,” explains Bain. “We successfully tested it for about a year before we began to utilize it on ice-cream packaging of all shapes and sizes.”
For ice-cream packaging, Stanpac offers cup sizes of three-, 3.5-, four-ounce cups and coverall caps, tab lids and wooden spoons; 12-ounce cups with a heat seal or plastic lid; 14-, 16-ounce, 500-ml cups with a spiral-wound or Secur Tec 100 pint lid; quart (32-ounce/946-ml) and one liter cups with spiralwound or Secur Tec 125 lid; 48-, 56-, 64-ounce non-round cups and non-round composite lids and Secur Tec 176 lid; and 56- and 64-ounce round cups with spiral-wound lids.
Stanpac also designs, builds and leases a highperformance line of ice-cream filling equipment called Flex-E-Fill, which the Witt brothers call
the North American industry standard and a true workhorse of the filling room.
The Flex-E-Fill filling system is well-known for its versatility and simplicity, with the rotary filler easily handling both round and non-round containers. Some of its value-added features include:
• Small machine footprint;
• Portable for easy transfer on or off a production line;
• Fast and simple changeover for different size packaging;
• Simple mechanical and electrical components;
• Dedicated parts and service department;
• Field service technicians located strategically across North America;
• Ease-of-operation;
• Robust construction with easy-to-perform washdown capabilities;
• A variety of lidding options, including: elevator lidder, spin rod lidder, pick-and-place or shuttle;
• Can-fill packaging ranging between three- to 64-ounces, in both round and non-round sizes;
• Depending on product type and size, performs can-filling at a rate of 20- to 120-units per minute.
“Of course, customers can also opt for the Secur
Tec 100, 125 or 176 non-round tamper-evident packaging solutions to allow optimal packaging safety,” notes Bain adding Secur Tec’s visibility at the point-of-purchase helps the customer easily ensure they are purchasing a safe product.
The actual paper used for the paperboard dairy packaging is supplied via Clearwater Paper, which is die-cut by Stanpac via a Stratham Henshaw Machinery (SHM) sheeter.
Because a high-quality manufacturer of paperboard packaging requires a high-quality printer, in 2013 Stanpac installed a brand new Heidelberg Speedmaster XL-106-6+L FULL UV press, the first of its kind in Canada, to replace an older Heidelberg model.
“There was nothing wrong with the previous model,” explains Bain, “which is why we had no issues on choosing another Heidelberg press. We just required the more high-tech capabilities of the XL-106 press.”
Stanpac was adamant that the new press would provide fast make-ready print runs, along with consistent color and higher operating speeds.
“Of course, we also wanted it to produce our packaging with a UV high-gloss finish that would maintain excellent adhesion to the paperboard,” adds Bain.
The newly-installed Heidelberg Speedmaster XL-106 press, says Bain, met all the requirements; being capable of printing and curing in high gloss UV at 18,000 impressions per hour.
“Our goal prior to purchasing this press was to double our production levels, while also reducing our waste levels by 50 per cent,” notes Bain.
“Both goals were achieved—though admittedly it took a bit longer to achieve our waste goals as it was a rather involved learning process for us on how to best utilize the printing press.”
The Speedmaster XL-106 purchased by Stanpac came complete with many other value-added features, such as the Elevation Kit, Logistics, Automatic Non-stop in-feeder, and the high-accuracy color measurement tool Inpress Control
Another key to the sharp graphics added to the dairy paperboard packaging production, is the new NovaFlow liquid ink dispenser system, combined with the INX Manager software, from INX International Ink Co.
Because the company runs 24-hours a day, sevendays-a-week, averaging some 30 different production runs a day, the computerized ink system is an especially handy feature that allows it to have perfect ink recipes available on-time.
The system also provides Stanpac with notable cost-savings as the system software also keeps track of leftover inks to incorporate into new jobs, thereby helping the company substantially reduce

its ink inventory, making the facility tidier and more efficient.
Other key equipment utilized by Stanpac in the paperboard packaging side includes:
• a Bobst SP-102 CER II die-cutter that cuts the product to shape; stacks the sheets onto a wooden pallet; and adds a protective paperboard cover;
• numerous lid die-cutters;
• paper spiral-round lid forming presses;
• Cognex camera-based vision systems to ensure that lids are perfectly formed with a pneumatic air-reject system;
• eight Paper Machinery Corporation paperboard cup formers that manufacture cups sized from three- to 64-ounce round and non-round shapes;
• Baldor VS Drives featuring H2 inverter technology used on the cup forming machines, enabling it to run 150 caps/minute;
• Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley Panel View Plus 400 HMI (human-machine interface) on the cap formers.
• Three Husky HyElectric 300 and two HyElectric 400 injection-molding lines for paperboard caps and composite tamper-evident closures, featuring a Polaris HMI from Precision Micro Dynamics allows Stanpac to injection-mold caps one every eight seconds;

Stanpac has also invested in a new litho, flexo and screen-plate making system—a factured by Heidelberg. Installed at the same time as the as an up-to-date and efficient system to better sup port the technology of the new printing press.
For the majority of Stanpac’s customers, the whimsical question of “Got milk?” assures a nod in the affirmative. But now, thanks to its decorative bottling facility, Stanpac can now ask if you’ve “Got ink?”
“Stanpac treats its glass decoration division as though it is providing a permanent tattoo for your bottles,” explains Matt Witt, “with zero pain involved for you.”
To ink the bottles, the glass bottles are run through one of the two Kammann K31 A-FS fully-automatic pre-treatment units to flame-treat and then add a special mist-coating to allow for better ink adhesion (Kammann was recently purchased by Koenig & Bauer (KBA).) The K31 A-FS system utilizes an Allen-Bradley Centerline 2100 motor control center to command the oven temperature, which peaks at about 1,070 °F (about 577 °C).
The bottles move over the Kammann K15 CNC, an automatic CNC-controlled universal screen printing machine, Bain relates: “The bottle is held
by the base and neck and moved up to the printing screen where ink is pushed through and onto the glass. The bottle then moves to the next ink application area where a second color can be applied.”
While the K15 CNC can apply up to five colors, Bain says that for those customers wanting more colors, it’s a simple matter to run the bottles through the K15 again.
Although there are several types of inks that can be used to decorate a bottle, Andrew Witt says they tend to use ceramic-based inks because when it is baked, the ink actually becomes a permanent part of the bottle, with little chance of flaking, thereby acting as permanent as a tattoo.
As part of its high-tech product inspection system, Stanpac utilizes the Spectro system from the Italian firm DeCoSystem Srl, specifically designed to monitor printing on glass pack units such as bottles. While the Spectro’s multiple cameras mounted within the K15 CNC check a product for printing defects, the software inspects the decoration on the bottles without any index, and automatically centers the image of the object checked against a previously-installed reference model.
Other equipment and or suppliers used by Stanpac include:
• Stratis plastic pallets;
• Vertical conveyors from EMI Corp., powered by SEW-Eurodrive motors;
• two Herma labelers;
• a ProJet HD 3000 highdefinition 3D industrial printer from 3D Systems, Inc.;
• a Samuel SLP 300 stretchw rapper.
“Stanpac has been manufacturing packaging for dairy and beverage compan ies for over 60 years,” states Andrew Witt. “And the only reason this company has sur vived and thrived has been our ability to evolve.”
Adds brother Matt: “Even though our evolution has us looking back in time to pro vide glass dairy packaging, we have moved beyond the dairy industry to make inroads within the liquor and spirits markets, which admittedly has been very, very good to Stanpac.
“But what hasn’t changed, is what we can offer a customer: cases, caps, packaging, equip ment, service and, above all, our deep knowledge of the industry,” he concludes.
“It’s why the cream will continue to rise to the top.”
Renowned Quebec bakery steps up its end-of-line packaging game to keep up with the times and soaring production volumes via high-speed robotic palletizing technologies
ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR PHOTOS BY PIERRE LONGTIN
Sometimes, you just gotta have pie. And when the craving hits for the baked dough filled with something sweet that can no longer be ignored, Canadian consumers can rest assured that this craving will have met its match with one of the delicious and exquisitely packaged, gourmetquality pies produced by Quebec’s own Pâtisserie Gaudet Inc. (Gaudet Sweet Goods Inc.)
Located in the quaint village of Acton Vale in south-central Quebec—just over 100 kilometers east of Montreal—the family-owned boasts a proud history and tradition of culinary innovation and excellence in producing delicious, high-quality pies that more than do justice to a dish that can trace its early history back to more than 10,000 years ago. While the earliest versions of pie were originally conceived as a way for people to take food with them on long treks, it was usually a straight-forward meat-based concoction with a spot of honey added for sweetness.
According to some historical evidences, pies first made their appearance around 9500 BC, in what is now Egypt. These early pies were flat, round cakes—known as galettes—with a crust made from wheat, rye, barley or ground oats. As one might
correctly imagine, they served the staid utilitarian purpose of a quick source of essential nourishment. Eventually evolving into a sweet pastry concoction around 1300 BC, it wasn’t until the ancient Greeks in about 500 BC, that the pie became a
receptacle for a fruity filling. It was the Romans of 150 BC who further developed the pie crust to where it is similar in consistency to what we have nowadays.
Obviously, not all pies are created equal in the
modern era. Aside from what a given pie contains— whether sweet and fruity fillings, or savoury meat fillings—bakers first and foremost define a quality pie by its crust.
Hence the origin of terms like single-crust or filled pie with pastry lining the baking dish with the filling added on top but left open; a top-crust pie, or cobbler, which has the filling on the bottom of the dish and then covered with the pastry before baking; and a two-crust pie, which has the filling enclosed with a pastry shell.
Employing 55 people, Pâtisserie Gaudet bakes a breathtaking number of pies—some 26,000 eightinch-diameter pies per shift, and an additional 10,000 four-inch-diameter tartlets per hour— basically one pie every second per work shift.
“In the traditional eight-inch round pie format, we produce 11 flavors, including: Apple, Apple-Caramel, Maple Flavour, Raisin, Apple Without Cinnamon, Lemon, Cherry, Pumpkin, Strawberry, Blueberry and Sugar,” Pâtisserie Gaudet vice-president chief executive officer Line Lamothe told Canadian Packaging during a recent interview. This selection is supported by a more limited offering of eight different four-inch tartlets, consisting of Apple, Sugar, Blueberry, Cherry, AppleCaramel, Strawberry, Lemon and Walnut flavors.
The bakery also creates a higher-end brand of pie manufactured under the Oh làlà name.
“We produce five eight-inch pie varieties for Oh làlà: a Butter Caramel and Apple, Butterscotch, Maple, Maple Pudding and Sugar Cream—each as delectable as they sound,” relates Lamothe. “The Oh làlà Sugar Cream pie is actually our Number One seller.”
Along with doing some third-party baking, Pâtisserie Gaudet also has a deal in place with the famed Laura Secord chocolate franchise, owned by Jean Leclerc.
In early 2014, Laura Secord and Pâtisserie Gaudet signed a renewable three-year contract allowing the bakery to jointly develop and produce pies under the Laura Secord brand name, so far adding two new eight-inch pies—Chocolate Hazelnut, and Chocolate Caramel—which are now available exclusively at IGA grocery stores.
“We also make some yummy donuts available at Provigo, Maxi, Loblaws, Metro, Richelieu, IGA, and Intermarket Axep,” relates Lamothe.
Pâtisserie Gaudet got its start in 1953, when the Beauséjour family opened up a traditional bakery in the village.
A combination of friendly customer service and supremely tasty pies quickly earned the fledgling upstart the kudos of a grateful community, and while Pâtisserie Gaudet became a local success drawing customers willing to travel from nearby communities to sample its wares, the company’s fortunes soared to the proverbial next level when it was sold to the Joly Brothers in 1992.
wrong with their products—though it continued to develop new pie flavor sensations, capitalizing on the fact the Quebec pie market had always been a tad conservative in its variety.
As for the Joly Brothers were concerned, it needed to stop being only a local sensation and go for a larger slice of the proverbial pie.
“The Joly Brothers knew the bakery had great

“We expanded the business from being just local to where we are now distributing our products across Eastern Canada—Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes—as well as the Northeastern U.S.,
and convenience stores, as well as national grocery retailers such as Metro, Sobeys, Loblaw and Walmart
Lamothe says that despite its relatively small workforce, the bakery considers itself to be a large company within the pie producing segment, holding 85 per cent of the Quebec market and 10 per cent of the rest of Canada, with the exports accounting for the remaining output.
Despite the popularity of its pies with consumers, the company admits that sales haven’t been as solid as they would have liked in the past few years.
But rather than just ‘sit back and see what happens’, the company decided to revamp itself, forming the partnership with Laura Secord and even creating some eye-catching new packaging for Gaudet brand pies and tartlets, which quickly helped increase the company’s market share.
To achieve that, Pâtisserie Gaudet utilized the services of Enzyme Communication Marketing , a Montreal-based food and health marketing and branding agency, to create new packaging for its pies.
Lamothe says that when compared to the triedand-true, and rather staid, pie boxes out there from the competition, the new Gaudet pie packs make an immediate strong connection with the consumers out on the store shelves.
Featuring non-glossy main colors on the outer paperboard pie box, each of the pie brands has an individual color representative of its main ingredient: brown for the brown sugar of the Sugar pie; and blue for the Blueberry pie, for example.
As well as the color representation, each box has dif
“Rather than having a boring pie box, Pâtisserie Gaudet and Enzyme worked together to show the true ‘feeling’ of what one experiences when eating a pie,” says Lamothe.
“It’s pure and simple fun with a respect for the ingredients and a fond, respectful tip of the hat to the moms and dads of the past who took the time to create a pie from scratch.”
Perhaps because ‘everybody loves pie,’ it is indeed a very tough business, with Lamothe acknowledging that Pâtisserie Gaudet is up against many industry giants who are involved in multiple aspects of food manufacturing.
One way the bakery has thrived is by making its own pie fillings, which enables it to control the cost of its pie right from scratch.
“We begin by making the filling with fresh ingredients while the pie dough is being made. We then assemble the pie and bake it. After it cooks and cools, we pack it, palletize it and then place it within our cold storage warehouse until we are ready to ship it to our customers,” Lamothe relates, describing the whole process.
“But, in reality, it is a much more complex process than that,” she says, “especially now that we have robots.”
The installation of robotic equipment stems from considerable efforts to build a long-term relationship between Pâtisserie Gaudet and Consolidated Tech nologies Inc. of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., according to Consolidated sales manager Christian Lapointe.
“I had been calling on Pâtisserie Gaudet for about six or seven years trying to promote Consolidated Technologies without much luck,” begins Lapointe.
“But about a year ago, after another company referred us, I got another meeting with the bakery,” he recalls.
Although the initial job was intended for something completely different, upon touring the facility Lapointe noted that the Gaudet eightand four-inch pies were being packed into a tray that held six or 12 units which was then manually-packed into a master case.
“I innocently suggested that rather than packing the pies into a tray and then into a case that the grocery stores were just going to get rid of, they might be interested in something more efficient instead,” recalls Lapointe.
While noting that he could have simply sold Pâtisserie Gaudet a tray-loader, Lapointe thought that Consolidated Technologies might be able to provide more that would help the bakery’s end-of-line production speed not only become quicker, but also help save the company money.
Providing many CAD (computeraided design) drawings, Lapointe helped lay out a new packaging line, which in the long-run would take up less space than what the bakery was then using.
“Automation was still a fairly new

concept for Pâtisserie Gaudet, but to their credit they were very open and receptive to the ideas suggested,” states Lapointe.“We installed our end-ofline solution at their facility in March of 2104.”
Founded in 1982, Consolidated Technologies is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of semiand fully-automated cartoners, sleevers, case-packers, and palletizers, which was one reason why Lapointe confidently suggested that the Unicell-20R robotic top-load case-packer unit would be the best technology for Pâtisserie Gaudet.
Although the individual pies are still manuallypacked by Pâtisserie Gaudet employees into the paperboard boxes formed by a Langen B1 cartoner, these single pie boxes are now robotically packed into master corrugated cases by the Unicell-

20R robotic workcell employing a Fanuc model M-710iC/50 robot.
Boasting a lifting capacity of 50 kilograms to pick and place multiple pie packs into a larger case, the medium-payload M-710iC robot offers a standard 360-degree J1 rotation and six total points of articulation that enable pin-point control.
“It’s a very fast robot,” states Lapointe. “Pâtisserie Gaudet can now pick and pack up to 200 four-inch pie packs into a master case every minute, and it can pack 70 eight- or nine-inch pies per minute.”
“We are very happy with the whole system,” Lamothe agrees. “The whole Unicell-20R provides us with flexibility, versatility, quick and easy changeover and high performance.”
The new case-packing system has allowed Pâtisserie Gaudet to recognize substantial labor savings on the packing line, along with much needed production line space previously taken up by the older equipment and a long line of laborers required to do the job.
“We were certainly not adverse to better automating our production line to modernize it for the present and future,” states Lamothe. “Like many companies in the food-and-beverage sector faced with the need to automate to try and grab a larger slice of the market, there is always the challenge of decreasing budgets.
“Even though Consolidated Technologies made us aware that there would be a cost to automating, we were surprised at the low cost, having always believed that robotics were expensive.”
Lapointe concurs: “Robotics certainly were a viable but somewhat expensive option in the past, but now along with a quick ROI (return-oninvestment), customers like Pâtisserie Gaudet can more easily make the leap into efficient automation that works for them.”
Other suppliers and equipment utilized by Pâtisserie Gaudet include:
• Loma Systems IQ² metal detection system;
• Videojet 2360 box coder and a 1510 smallcharacter inkjet coder;
• CHEP pallets;
• Corrugated cartons supplied by MitchelLincoln
Although the folks at Pâtisserie Gaudet are not naïve to believe in sure things, they do have faith in their company’s new found robotic automation courtesy of Consolidated Technologies, the wellreceived eye-catching pie packaging, and the ability of its employees to continue making some of the best pies available on the market.
“If you haven’t tried one of our pies or tartlets yet, I urge you to do so,” Lamothe concludes. “We know you’ll be coming back for more.”

On behalf of PAC, Packing Consortium come you to A Day in the Life —our three-day symposium that we hope will once again highlight PAC’s constantly evolving role as a vital partner and catalyst for the packaging supply chain.
We take special pride in working hard to evolve our strategy in order to surpass our members’ education, and we are sure that this PAC Symposium will deliver on that promise by providing an edgy, fun and educational networking event designed to help guide CPG (consumer packaged goods) industry leaders through today’s dynamic retail and brand market environment.
To get the event off to a rousing start, we are especially delighted to have SGK president Eric Ashworth deliver an insightful keynote address to dissect the primary market forces, particularly the relentless and exciting advance of the B2C (business to consumer) e -commerce channel, that will have profound, far-reaching implications for the entire packaging value chain.
The number of people ordering foods, groceries, movies and airplane tickets from the comfort of their living room is growing in leaps and bounds everyday, and Eric’s presentation will explore what brandowners must do to remain relevant in this new age of instant consumer gratification. (Please see pages 35-38 inside this section for a special exclusive preview of Eric’s presentation)
The global packaging community is truly living in exciting and challenging times, as abundantly evidenced by private-label store brands knocking second-tier products off the supermarket shelves; social media moving the ‘moment of truth’ upstream for consumers; the so-called millennials making or breaking reputable brands with their ‘gone viral’ social media postings; and Baby Boomers and single-person households increasingly demanding more convenience, smaller portions sizes and safer food—all delivered ‘right here, right now’ with less, but more environmentally-friendly packaging.
With this in mind, there is really no better time for the packaging community to begin addressing these urgent market challenges than now, and we’re sure that the upcoming A Day in the Life PAC Symposium in beautiful downtown Toronto will be a perfect starting point for further serious discussion, research and collaboration.
As everyone in the industry knows, packaging sustainability continues to be one of the industry’s greatest ongoing challenges, which will be fully addressed during the PAC Symposium with a simulated collaborative sustainable development of an imaginary product and innovation to provide a realistic blueprint for developing practical solutions that effectively respond to the current market forces.
As in the past, PAC events are all about packaging collaboration, innovation, competition, optimization and celebration, and this year’s PAC Symposium will provide plenty of exciting activities and sessions to reflect this mindset, including:
• T he use of hand-held interactive remote communications devices to facilitate active audience engagement throughout the proceedings;
• A dedicated ‘Innovation Day’ featuring a Dragon’s Den -styled competition to introduce new products and processes, with the live audience getting to pick the first-, second- and third-place winners of significant cash prizes;
• T he live audience selecting the winners of the ‘packagers of the future’ in a student design competition featuring entries from six Canadian university and college students;
• A fun-filled networking event at Toronto’s landmark Real Sports Bar & Grill restaurant. Likely to feature an NHL (National Hockey League) game—depending on season schedule—on a 40-foot high-definition TV screen, the largest in North America, which is the next best thing to having your own private box inside the arena!;
• The final-day business breakfast session at the Real Sports Bar and Grill, featuring high-profile speakers describing and explaining their end-of-life best practices on the same towering, 40-foot hi-def TV screen. For today’s busy professionals, industry events must deliver brilliant content, variety, multimedia, realtime engagement and excitement—and A Day in the Life symposium was designed from the outset with all these key elements in mind, including world-class hosting venues such as the historical landmark Steam Whistle Brewing plant and the newly-opened Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
We look forward to seeing you at our PAC Symposium this fall for a truly unforgettable experience at the foot of downtown Toronto!

Branding guru lauds online retailing as the next great frontier for packaging innovation
Iguise, as they often are in the world of global trade and commerce, then many of the world’s famed consumer brands risk missing the boat on unique, once-in-a-lifetime business opportunities of online shopping by failing to evolve their
onboard the rising tide of e -shopping is narrowing each passing day, according to Eric Ashworth, president of a leading global brand development and package design services group SGK , headquartered just outside of Chicago in Des Plaines, Ill.
Having worked with hundreds of iconic CPG (consumer packaged goods) brands over the course of his 24-year career in various aspects of the brand and product development field, Ashworth says now is the right time for many leading brand-owners to display more urgency in responding to the special needs and expectations of the estimated US$440billion global B2C (business-to-consumer) market with novel product packaging that understands and
respects this new consumer paradigm, with all its quirks and eccentricities.
According to Ashworth, one of the keynote speakers to feature at the upcoming A Day in Life packaging symposium taking place Sept. 30 – Oct. 2 in Toronto—organized by PAC, Packaging Consortium —brands owe it to themselves to leverage product packaging in a way that will create unique and memorable new consumer experiences for online shoppers that will nurture true brand loyalty and recognition.
While online shopping still typically accounts for just a fraction of revenues generated by the traditional brick-and-mortar outlets for most retailers, it is a fast-growing fraction that has nowhere to go but exponentially up in the years to come, according to Ashworth, holder of a Bachelor of Science degree from the San Francisco State University and an MBA from the University of San Francisco
Widely acclaimed as one of North America’s more accomplished thought leaders on modern package design and execution, Ashworth observes that even among those companies that have nominally embraced the growing role of online shopping, there has only been scant evidence of genuine packaging innovation and optimization to date to suggest a full-fledged, earnest commitment to capturing the moment, as it were.
A passionate believer in the virtue of staying ahead of the curve, Ashworth hopes that brandowners have learnt enough from the largely underwhelming migration from hard-copy books to e -publishing in recent years to avoid similar shortcomings with their consumer products.
“Online retailers have not really done the publishing industry a great service by just taking the pictures of the book-covers and using that to sell the books online,” Ashworth relates.
“Here was a real opportunity to have developed such a far richer and more interesting experience for the readers with a little more creative input.
“Sadly it’s now happening with pretty much every other consumer industry,” Ashworth laments. “What do you really get online from the CPGs
aside from a still picture of the product package?
“Surely, there could be a way to have a more robust brand experience online than just what you get at your local drug-store,” says Ashworth, adding that addressing this creative imbalance will form the heart of his presentation at the upcoming PAC symposium in Toronto.
“That’s the heart of the conversation: How does the brand take advantage of its existing physical packaging to do a better job of selling a product in this [online] context, while also fulfilling the promise that this product makes once it reaches the consumer’s home—all done outside of the traditional retail environment?
“I believe that this is a compelling, provocative and tactical topic that will provide the audience with plenty of interesting ideas to take home and really start thinking about right away,” Ashworth told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview.
“There has to be a more proactive way of thinking about the role of packaging in this next-generation retail transformation to enable CPG manufacturers to gain a competitive advantage through that packaging,” says Ashworth, a compelling and highly-articulate public speaker who is also a tireless advocate for packaging as a key driving force of modern-day marketing and commerce.
To make his point, Ashworth shares his own recent consumer experience of ordering replacement blades for one of the bestselling brands of manual men’s razor-shavers.
“It’s hard to get excited about getting just another brown corrugated box, with maybe a one-color retailer’s logo, filled with a variety of plastic inflatable balloons (air-cushions) holding in place the very same package that I would normally buy at a mass drug-store,” Ashworth relates.
“Moreover, the razors themselves come in a really difficult-to-open blister-pack that was originally made so that shoppers can’t steal them in the store, if they are not already kept under lock and key there.
“It’s packaging for pilferage; not packaging for a happy consumer experience,” he states.
“But if I get this product delivered to my home, having paid good money for it, why do I still have to risk cutting my hand on the blister-pack, or stabbing myself with scissors when cutting that blister-pack open?” Ashworth wonders.
“I’m in my house: isn’t there a problem there?”
This unwillingness or inability to provide a different packaging experience in the home delivery context can be detrimental to both brand loyalty and market share, according to Ashworth, while also leaving online shoppers frustrated with the resulting packaging overkill.
“Is that applicable to everyday food items? Maybe not, but the point is that CPG manufacturers should be approaching their online business as a
marketing investment, rather than a traditional profit center,” Ashworth states.
“It is an opportunity to do a better job of connecting with the consumer and giving him the immersive experience at home that reinforces the idea that this is the brand he should be buying, be it online or at the local drug-store.”
According to Ashworth, this may require brandowners to develop dual SKUs (stock-keeping units) for both in-store and online sales, or risk not growing online category sales as quickly as competitors, be they other CPGs or retailers’ private brand offerings.
“Even if only 0.5 per cent of my volume is currently sold online, being able to make the brand experience better in the online context can allow me to bring some of that to my store-shelf experience, as well gain new insights that allude to packaging design that transcends the individual channels,” Ashworth explains.
“That is what we focus on at SGK—the ability to find unique consumer insights and to make them relevant to the brand, regardless of the context in which shoppers and consumers engage our clients’ brands.”
Says Ashworth: “In the online context, the point of differentiation is not going to be determined in a store aisle in a few seconds—it will be done online through a far more thoughtful and discerning decision-making process.
“The question then becomes what role does the brand have in mind for packaging to play in that experience, and I would say that the online consumer experience for many popular CPG brands is far from optimized right now,”
“If I am a big CPG player, I should be sitting down with a couple of my product line managers and start looking at online not simply as another sales channel, but as a way to connect with my consumers better,” Ashworth reiterates.
“Achieving yearly topline growth with improving margins is based on building higher online loyalty and repeat purchases, which may well mean developing different packaging structures and dif-
ferent packaging communication to create a totally different consumer experience.”
According to Ashworth, this contextualization of shopper experience naturally provides plenty of new business opportunities for companies like SGK, which formerly marketed itself as Schawk and now uses that name to represent the company’s brand deployment services.
As Ashworth explains, SGK is the formal name of the holding company that covers all of the company’s brands, which now also includes the Matthew Brand Solutions Group business added as a result of the recent acquisition of SGK by the Pittsburgh, Pa.-headquartered group Matthews International
As for the choice of the SGK name and NYSE
ticker symbol, Ashworth deciphers the acronym as a deft interplay of initials for the company’s founder Clarence W. Schawk; the company’s core initial primary business of Graphics; and the historical Kedzie Street in Chicago where Schawk first started out.
According to Ashworth, many North American retailers would also be wise to pick up a few tips on how to make their online shoppers feel more uniquely appreciated from their European counterparts.
“In North America our backbone is building up big shopping experiences and having people drive to them and spend hours going through a shopping list and filling up a huge cart, because we have the space for all that,” Ashworth states.
“In Europe, on the other hand, you have these condensed markets where retailers are far more reactive to their local consumers,” Ashworth relates.
“This helps explain why their private-label brand market-shares are so much higher—they are more in tune with what’s going on around them because they are embedded in a much more dense urban environment.
“So whereas our retailers are much more sellers of other people’s (CPG) products, the Europeans offer more nuance to their shoppers, rather than the same old SKUs that are sold to everyone else.
“In this context, there is a lot more data coming in to be collected and analyzed to let retailers know more about their individual consumers,” Ashworth notes, “and retailers can use that data to enhance their loyalty perception by the consumers, while also building up a higher private brand share and better margins.”
Ashworth draws direct parallels to the Club Store experience of the last few years, when the likes of Costco and Sam’s Club took advantage of their growing popularity to prompt their suppliers to come up with new retail-ready packaging innovations that would better reflect the Club shopping experience for their customers.
“As a result, CPG companies who had once cellophane-wrapped several boxes together to be sold at Club outlets eventually started creating new SKUs designed specifically to serve the Club environment as a new sales channel in its own right,” Ashworth explains.
“Well, online shopping is the new Club,” he asserts, “and online retailers will continue to be aggressive with how to take advantage of their customer experience and the products they provide them.
“In response to that competitive challenge, you can expect many legacy CPG categories to start featuring bold new packaging, and communication on that packaging, that will be significantly different from what we’ve seen in the marketplace so far.”
The blueprint for making this new packaging paradigm a reality has already been laid for some time, says Ashworth, singling out the wildly successful launch of the now-ubiquitous iPhone by Apple back in 2007.
“In the years leading to that we all knew that some sort of a smart device ‘thing’ to contain all our contacts, emails, photos, music, entertainment, etc., would eventually be created—we just didn’t know exactly when it would actually arrive into the mainstream markets,” Ashworth relates.
“What Apple did was create a whole new sensory experience for consumers by bringing all those things online in a perfectly-engineered little box that laid out all the information it contained in a way that encouraged further consumer involvement and engagement with the whole online experience.
“It’s rather unfortunate that the game-changing iPhone has not changed all that much itself since it first came out,” Ashworth chuckles, “but the point is that since we already know that people who shop

online act differently in their more intimate home environment than they do inside a store, should their brand experience also not be different as well to reflect that?
“Because it is a vastly different experience from a retail store, where you have 50 competing brands screaming at you, this is the opportunity for brands to rethink their packaging structures and designs to really appreciate the full context of that new experience,” he implores.
“Not only will that differentiate you from competition, but it will more importantly help you create a path and a vision for how your brands
can evolve their packaging going forward, know ing that this online channel will only continue to grow.”
Says Ashworth: “There are now many opportun ities for brands to do a better job of communicating their differentiation through packaging experien ces in people’s home via e-commerce solutions.
“Those brands that get it right will be rewarded with a more intimate relationship with the stayat-home consumer,” Ashworth concludes, “with out having to resort to all the extra packaging armor required for the retail environment battlefield.”

As a poster child for eco -capitalism, Canadian-raised entrepreneur par excellence
Tom Szaky is not only living the American dream—having dropped out of Princeton University back in 2001 to found one of the world’s leading ‘upcyclers’ of post-consumer packaging waste—but also helping that dream drive a more socially and ecologically responsible way of life for thousands of people across the globe.
With the Trenton, N.J.-based TerraCycle nowadays a multimillion-dollar business with operations across Canada and over 20 other countries, Szaky’s knack for turning all sorts of consumer waste into useful new products like bags, binders, notebooks, tote bags, flower pots, plastic lumber, bike racks, park benches, and garbage and recycling cans puts him in a select group of new-generation environmental leaders for whom action always take precedence over words.
Not that the amicable 32-year-old is ever really lost for words when it comes to packaging, as he demonstrated in a recent interview with the Canadian Packaging magazine, in advance of his keynote closing-day address at the upcoming A Day in the Life symposium in Toronto.
Your company’s success is a truly remarkable story of reconciling environmental conscience with business ambition. What’s your secret?
TerraCycle is a social business with an unwavering focus on the so-called ‘triple bottom line’ of planet, people and profits.
For TerraCycle, this has meant creating a business model that involves capturing non-recyclable waste—such as air-care products or diaper packaging—before it goes to a landfill or incinerator and finding a way to recycle, upcycle or reuse it. It’s all about giving garbage a second life by creating a system for otherwise non-recyclable waste to be recycled.
Through sponsorship from more than 20 brand partners—including Imperial Tobacco, Kool-Aid , Mr. Christie, MOM Brands and Materene —we are able to offer free shipping and a small donation (typically two cents per piece of waste received) to a school or organization of the collector’s choice.
From your company’s perspective, what are the biggest challenges facing your corporate partners and other leading brand-owners today?
Fluctuating consumer demand is certainly a big one, as it requires consumer products companies to be more consumer-focused.
Demand has a tendency to fluctuate rapidly: just look at how consumer preferences have altered and shifted in recent years towards healthier and more sustainable options. Consequently, manufacturing success is closely related to time-to-market and
new product introduction capabilities.
Another big challenge is that of global competition, which forces companies to deal with the new realities of meeting global price points. This creates additional pressure, as manufacturers need to ensure the delivery of high quality products while finding innovative ways to cut costs. Companies also need to account for fluctuations in factors such as oil prices and their effect on transportation costs, as well as the cost of petrochemicals used to make packaging.
Although many leading CPG brands are certainly getting much better at responding to these unique challenges, there is a long way to go.
That said, I was very impressed with CocaCola’s recent ‘Design for Reuse’ PET soda bottles, which allow consumers to upcycle the bottles themselves into engaging, useful second lives.
There have also been some great strides made in compostable packaging and bio-plastics in recent years, albeit there is still a notable lack of education on these subjects amongst the consumer public.
Now that the Great Recession finally seems to be receding for real, consumer demand for more sustainable packaging seems to be regaining its momentum, and it will be interesting to see if the CPG manufacturers take this second ‘Green Wave” as seriously as the first time around.
If they respond in kind, is there anything you think they should do differently from before?
If we truly want to address environmental sustainability in a holistic sense, we must not only focus on the resources which are in short supply—namely energy and water—but also on the flow of products and materials which drive their consumption on an economy-wide basis.
There is no one ‘next big thing,’ but rather a multitude of different opportunities, including introduction of new EPR (extended producer responsibility) laws and expanded packaging or deposit taxes that can effectively drive a shift away from planned obsolescence to implementing more product and packaging design for easy reuse or recycling-based end-life-solution.
According to a recent survey conducted by PackagingBuzz.com, the vast majority of U.S. consumer respondents (76 per cent) said that they look at the product’s packaging to see if it’s recyclable before purchasing the product. This underscores what the industry has been saying for some time: Packaging is the best source for educating consumers about recyclability.
In addition to recyclability and other environmental attributes, what else are consumers expecting from their packaging today?
Some of the consumer expectations have remained the same as in the past: packaging that provides longer shelf-life, better freshness, greater ease-ofuse and, of course, enhanced consumer safety. But there is no understating the importance of social and environmental responsibility being added to this mix. According to a 2012 study by Nielsen Media Research, 83 per cent of U.S. consumers believe that manufacturers using recycled pack-
aging and producing energy efficient prod ucts and appliances have a positive impact on the environment, which is far more than the pro portion of consumers who are convinced of the positive environ mental impact of local products (59 per cent), fair-trade products (51 per cent), and products not tested on animals (44 per cent).
Please assess the current level of innovation unfolding in the packaging field.
The packaging designer of today must reflect on myriad diverse consumer lifestyles and expectations, resource scarcity and other environmental con siderations, retailer and brandowner preferences, opportunities for branding, cost, and numerous local and national government regulations that add another layer of complexity for suppliers and brand-owners to abide to.
A healthy competition amongst packaging suppliers is helping to displace environmentally inferior materials, reduce product damage during transport, extend product shelf-life, and improve resource efficiency.
There is also much work being done to replace virgin plastics with more sustainable alternatives— such as the Plant PET Technology Collaborative (PTC) project between Coca-Cola, Ford , Heinz, Nike and Procter & Gamble —geared towards supporting commercial-scale development of plant-based PET materials.
What is TerraCycle’s role in all this?
I am very proud of our recent launch of packages featuring polyethylene caps made from sugar cane derivatives, which is a significant milestone in our commitment to increase the use of renewable material in our packages.
I think that TerraCycle’s greatest achievement has been getting brand-owners, packaging scientists and consumers alike to think more about the endof-life packaging solutions, with our consumerdriven packaging reclamation programs helping create massive brand equity from what was once considered waste.
I like to think we have helped elevate the term ‘upcycling’ into the common lexicon and are opening consumers’ eyes to the fact that virtually everything is recyclable from a materials standpoint, with the only reason for any product or packaging being non-recyclable being based on economics—not science.
As program leader for the world-renowned DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation competition, Yasmin Siddiqi is uniquely well-qualified to speak on the rapid growth in expectations modern-day consumers demand from their packaging, however unrealistic they may sometimes appear.
A graduate in chemical engineering at the McGill University in Montreal and a holder of an MBA degree from the New York University‘s Stern School of Business, Siddiqi is an accomplished public speaker and an eloquent advocate of the huge role that packaging must play in addressing the monumental challenges of global population explosion and the alarming scarcity of some of key natural resources worldwide.
In her current role as global marketing director at DuPont Packaging’s international headquarters in Wilmington, Del., Siddiqui offers a unique insider’s perspective on where modern food packaging is headed, which she will share on the opening day of the upcoming A Day in the Life symposium produced by PAC, Packaging Consortium in Toronto, Sept. 30 – Oct. 2, 2014. As a backdrop to that presentation, Siddiqi has recently shared some thoughts on the subject with the Canadian Packaging magazine in an exclusive interview.
Is there one word that best describes the strategic mindset and creative inspiration behind new packaging development at DuPont Packaging these days? Waste. Everything we read, hear and discuss these days essentially comes down to reducing waste.
In the food industry, we need to reduce waste to improve food security, while in the packaging arena, we need to protect the contents —be it food or other consumer goods—in order to reduce waste. It is imperative to use a minimal amount of packaging—or better yet to reuse otherwise wasted packaging—while protecting the contents. Today’s business world is all about reducing wasted energy, wasted cost, wasted efforts ... it all boils down to that one word—waste.
The need to reduce waste stems from a growing population with an increasing appetite for energy, food and consumer goods, and we need to make sure that we manage our resources to the best of our abilities.
What are some of the impediments that stand in the way of all packaging companies and industry stakeholders to pursuing this noble path?
One of the biggest challenges is making sure that the packaging delivers value to the consumer— either by extending the brand’s value or in terms of protecting the content—without adding undue costs to the product. It’s a very delicate balance that is often elusive, but it’s an omnipresent challenge for many businesses today.
For our part, DuPont earnestly believes the
strongest contribution packaging can make to sustainability is to protect and preserve food—thereby reducing overall food waste and all the associated waste that it inherently entails.
This is a global issue of significant proportions, and DuPont has set various goals for itself to help meet the challenge of global food security through science and innovation.
It is essential to bring together individuals and organizations that have the expertise, resources and passion to reduce food waste, so that these collaborations will transform scientific innovation into new ways to protect food and reduce waste.
Is the industry addressing this problem quickly enough?
Probably not, but there are some solid steps being taken—as best shown by the new film pouch package (picture below) that won a DuPont Award for Packaging Innovation earlier this year.
Maintaining milk’s freshness without refrigeration is an imperative priority in many parts of the world, and this new and, importantly, lower-cost film pouch from Parakh Agro Industries, Ltd. in India ensures that milk can maintain its freshness without refrigeration for 90 days.
The package employs five-layer EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) -based film made with DuPont’s Bynel coextrudable adhesive resins, often called tie layer resins, whose cost of unit-pack per liter is significantly lower than the cost of the traditional aseptic packaging containers.
Naturally, the fact that this package does not require refrigeration also results in significant cost-savings in itself.
Is there a role for technology in helping achieve meaningful waste reductions?
New technologies that enable the extension of product shelf-life or otherwise ensure better protection for the content will become increasingly important as we deal with a growing global population and begin to experience the plant’s resource limitations.
The same holds true with technologies that allow us to reuse packaging—in effect further reducing waste and conserving our dwindling resources.
In many respects, the primary role of packaging has remained fundamentally the same throughout the years—to the contents. What has evolved is our understanding of how to do it effectively while also adding value to the product with that packaging.
These days we are all trying to do more with less so that the consumer does not perceive something is being ‘overpackaged,’ even if it’s only a perception rather than a fact.
The packaging industry is somewhat at the crossroads for the moment because the level of consumer sentiment towards packaging is probably at the highest it has ever been, just as the promise
of packaging in respect to reducing food waste and to extend the brand promise is greater than ever.
We really need for these two trends to converge so that the value of packaging is commensurate with the role that it plays.
It is massively important for all the main industry players to educate not only the industry itself, but also the consumer.
How is DuPont Packaging playing its part in this education process?
In addition to our work on a customer-by-customer basis, we take the time to celebrate innovation throughout the global value chain with our annual DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation competition. This is the packaging industry’s longest-running, independently judged, global awards program that honors innovations in packaging design, materials, technology, processes and service. This year, the program received nearly 200 entries from 31 countries—marking the second-highest number of entries and broadest reach in the program’s 26-year history.
When talking about food waste, which industries spring to mind quicker than others?
Packaging in the meat industry probably has one of the greatest opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of food waste and there is a growing trend to use shrink films and barrier shrink bags to replace tray-and-lid solutions for longer freshness, lower overall cost and less packaging waste.
While shrink bags are nowadays primarily used to transport meat on the bone from the slaughterhouse to retailers or restaurants, there is a notable new trend towards more widespread use of shrink bags for supermarket consumer packaging because they also help to improve color, odor and meat texture while reducing packaging waste.
There are many new shrink bags, made using DuPont’s advanced materials, to produce stronger, thinner packaging that helps keep meat fresh longer and reduces puncture and package failures.
We have seen how proper use of this new technology in the protein industry can help meat stay fresh up to three times longer than rigid-carton MAP (modified-atmosphere packaging).
Replacing all this rigid-carton MAP could save over 20 kilotons (20 million kilograms) of food each year—more than the combined weight of 35,000 beef cattle.
To put it in layman’s terms: the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted during the raising and transport of this food is equal to the annual GHG emissions from 10,000 automobiles.
That is the sort of waste that we could really all do without.
As one of pre-eminent thought-leaders in the Canadian package design community and president of the Mississauga, Ont.-based branding specialists Davis Group, Ron Davis has seen enough packaging trends come and go over the years to form a very original perspective on what makes successful package design connect with consumers on that all-important emotional level that often defies conventional wisdom.
Never one to shy away from paradoxes or contradictions, Davis is a passionate and eloquent defender of ‘creative tension’ as one of the core prerequisites for successful contemporary package design—a provocative philosophical mindset that he will share in his aptly-titled Dramatic Simplicity presentation scheduled for Day II of the upcoming A Day in the Life symposium in Toronto, organized by the PAC, Packaging Consortium
Davis recently spoke to Canadian Packaging magazine to explain the basic premise of the ‘paradoxical philosophy’ behind his company’s adventurous approach to package design.
The title of your session suggests that harmony, balance and simplicity are less important in modern package design than the disruptive forces such as tension, drama and conflict, which may surprise many people. What gives?
Whereas some people avoid conflict and tension and some work to resolve it, we embrace it at Davis. Tensions provide an opportunity to find the creative higher ground.
Don’t average things out to resolve tension and don’t solve tensions with the ‘either/or’-thinking.
Find a way to deal with your brand’s tension head-on and make the most of it. A paradox within your brand or product category could be your biggest opportunity—not a problem.
Our Dramatic Simplicity philosophy is based on making your brand emotionally compelling, so that you ‘feel it and hear it’ clear as a bell, and so that you ‘see it and understand it’ in an instant. A product, a brand, or a package succeeds largely by making clarity remarkable—that is the essence of our ’Dramatic Simplicity’ thought process. If you don’t embrace the tension that exists in a project, you may avoid getting at the heart of the solution.
What are some of these inner tensions that you will be addressing in your presentation?
We are going to talk about innovation versus equity, iconic versus informative, intuition versus reason, and their respective role in terms of consumer decision-making.
It’s about reconciling both opposites in order to move forward the right way.
Innovation grows out of brand equity, and sometimes the companies make a mistake of getting carried away with being innovative and leaving too much of their equity behind.
Could you please provide an example?
I think our recent redesign of the Wonder Bread brand packaging (picture above) harkens back to the
product’s qualities that have been passed over for a while over a few generations of packaging, but still in the people’s collective consciousness.
By focusing exclusively on meeting the shoppers’ ‘healthy eating’ expectations, some of those past packaging designs lost the real ‘wonder’ of the Wonder Bread brand’s product essence—namely how great it tastes and how soft its texture is.
In the past, everyone loved to eat Wonder Bread precisely because of those qualities, and moving away from that ‘taste and texture’ message to the ‘healthy claims message’ diluted a lot of the brand’s original equity. Yes, it’s important to send consumers the message that the product is healthy, but it’s not necessarily the message that has to be played first and foremost.
It’s about understanding what people really love about your brand, what they’re drawn to, and making sure you’re playing that note the loudest.
What are some of the bigger challenges for today’s brand-owners and their package designers?
Manufacturers have robust processes for building their brands, but doing this right is a time-consuming process. At the same time, brands often need
to evolve quickly in order to meet new challenges and outpace competitors. Add to this tension the fact that there are often multiple agencies involved in bringing a brand to market and promoting it with a common brand voice, and it becomes akin to trying to paint a train while it’s moving.
Brands need to be guided by multi-disciplined, agile teams with tight collaboration, so that all key players align quickly and contribute their strengths. Strong marketers and strategists understand the short and long-term objectives of a brand —its history, equities and the innovation plan.
What are some of the key roles, functions and attributes that modern consumers expect from their packaged products today?
Today’s consumers want to engage with brands through the Internet at an ever-increasing level of sophistication. The Digital Revolution that we are in parallels the Industrial Revolution in its impact, as manufacturers scramble to make sense of and to understand new opportunities and the required behavior changes.
But it is also important to see this digital revolution
for what it is as much as for what it is not.
The foundational prin ciples for building a brand are still the same. Get the foundation, the truth of the brand, right, and strategically align everything you do accordingly to design a package that chan ges the way a product is experienced and remembered.
Modern consumers now often see the package and the product as one, and the implications of this perception are especially profound in the realm of fast-moving consumer goods, where the package is the primary communicator of a brand’s message.
What is the value of brands resisting current trends, as opposed to simply going with the flow?
We all see the influence that trends have on today’s package design, but smart brands remain true to their brand positioning and personality. Instead of being blown by every wind, the tension of general design and category trends can lead to innovation and to maintaining established equity.
That being said, here are some interesting current trends, such as the move toward ‘Authentic Craftsmanship’:
The unfolding push for craftsmanship and customization in package design stems from the desire for authenticity and a reaction against processed and heavily marketed goods.
This approach creates a sophisticated aesthetic that relies on the use of real or implied natural materials, with packaging that simulates handdrawn typography and illustration to create an authentic and ‘unmarketed’ feel often found in categories like craft beer.
It’s all about raw honesty taking us back to bygone eras and values, which challenges the established conventions of mainstream, mass-produced brands with mass-production requirements.
So even more tension issues to address then?
There is no harm in embracing paradoxes. If you just pick one thing or the other, there is a good chance you end up missing something important. Finding a way to have contradictory expressions of the brand coexist in the same package will more often than not result in a stronger packaging design.
Reconciling the opposites does not mean making one of them go away. Sometimes it means letting them both live—making it both honest and exciting.
If you just average out the tension and make it go away by compromise, that’s neither very exciting nor particularly honest. But letting that tension live within the brand on its packaging could, in fact, make that brand more compelling to the targeted consumer audience you’re trying to reach.
With many recent market studies indicating that up to 70 of North American consumers have at least started looking at purchasing many of today’s consumer staples online, the traditional ‘Moment of Truth’ of the consumer coming face-to-face with the product on a store-shelf is evolving into a significantly different consumer experience that actually comprises two distinct ‘Moments of Truth.’
In today’s context of online shopping, the First
Moment of Truth (FMOT) happens at the website where consumers expect personal customization of their online product choices—including the full range of available sizes and shapes—to meet their specific needs.
For its part, the Second Moment of Truth (SMOT) happens after the product’s delivery to the consumer’s home, where the product must arrive in great condition with all of the necessary information and just the right amount of packaging.
While making the perfect consumer connection during both of these moments is easier said than done, the recently-released PAC NEXT E-Commerce Packaging Optimization Guidelines —based on extensive PAC NEXT discussions with member-companies, retailers, package designers, e -commerce marketers and key decision-makers—offer a good starting point for developing a comprehensive and successful e -commerce strategy for consumer product manufacturers an online retailers aiming to get a piece of the estimated US$440-billion global B2C (businessto-consumer) marketplace.
Here is the executive summary of the PAC NEXT guidelines, as summarized in five key criteria for meeting the demands of an efficient online delivery system.
1. Protect the product by preventing damage and theft.
The fundamental role of the outer package is to protect the product while preventing damage and in-transit theft. Selecting the right outer pack design (strength) will require:
• An in-depth understanding of the e-commerce supply chain and the range and frequency of manipulations and modes of transportation, which will likely be different from traditional distribution systems;
• Applied experience—gained from learning as the on-line business grows.
Also, given the range in size of products and the number of items to be shipped—single versus multiple—it is important to account for the be void space inside the outer packing that will need filling to prevent the contents from shifting during transport.
2. Optimize outer packaging size for the product or products shipped by avoiding excessive packaging.
With e -commerce still a relatively new business opportunity for many companies who are on a steep learning curve—as they strive to adapt prod -
ucts and packages designed for in-store sales to meet on-line purchasing demands—there are too many instances of excessive packaging whereby small items packed in larger boxes are surrounded by excessive amount of buffer materials such as plastic bubblewrap or air-cushions, foam chips, paper, etc.
The challenge here is to find the right balance between the range of outer pack sizes available and the range of product sizes offered for sale, and using that information to minimize the void space during product shipment.
Ultimately, this balance will have to be determined by each company as they consider cost, inventory levels, complexity of customization, overall environmental footprint, and the likelihood of orders appearing to be excessively packaged. It is also well worth noting in this context that it may be more environmentally efficient overall to accept that some products may appear to have excessive packaging, compared to investing in a larger number of outer pack sizes.
It’s important to get that balance right, since too little packaging may lead to product damage and the need to return the ordered goods, which will have a far bigger environmental impact compared to overpackaging when taking into account all the wasted product, packaging, energy to transport, and extra handling requirements.
3. Design for recycled content, recyclability and reuse whenever feasible.
The varied and demanding e -commerce supply chains may at times require the ability to reuse containers to support regular/repeat orders or provide for return of potentially faulty goods. When it comes to recycling, it is important to understand factors that may negatively impact recyclability, such as excessive printing, incompatible label materials or adhesives, or ancillary items. In respect to recycled materials, it generally makes sense to use recycled content as dictated per industry norms and material availability.
4. Be easy, convenient and safe to handle and open for consumers.
The outer pack should be easily opened with ready access to the product and requiring minimum use of tools.
5. Adhere to courier-specific requirements. See the links below to access materials with courier specific guidelines from DHL, FedEx and UPS

How do we do that? By printing the labels that make your products look spectacular. And make them stand out from the others in a busy marketplace.
To do just that, we’ve put together a team of professionals whose efforts are dedicated to turning out labels that really are awesome in every way. Since great labels begin with a great design, our graphics group can take your art file – or help you create one – and make certain your label will showcase your brand. We help your product stand out from the pack.
We’ll also help you select the right label material and pressure-sensitive adhesive from literally hundreds of combinations to ensure they’re perfectly compatible with your brand’s package. By using clear labels, metallic materials and other treatments, we can make your label jump off the shelf.
Then our experienced press operators use the latest digital or flexographic printing technologies and quality assurance standards to print exactly the labels you want.
That’s how we provide the most awesome labels you can get. And, if you also need to apply the labels yourself, we manufacture a complete line of precision high-speed label applicator systems as well as industry leading print and apply solutions.

The FIFA World Cup of football (soccer if you like) is always a sight to behold, and as the stunning televised footage of sunny Brazil is now starting to fade in collective memory, connoisseurs of the beautiful game will agree that this past World Cup has been the best one yet by just about any measure, packaging included, with some of the globe’s biggest brands merrily jumping aboard the bandwagon with a thrilling display of marketing savoir faire. Not surprisingly, the perennial fast-food champion McDonald’s was in the thick of the action from the outset, launching a comprehensive marketing campaign integrating limited-edition packaging, a generous giveaway contest, and interactive mobile media right through the thrilling tournament. Over a six-week period, McDonald’s skillfully leveraged its official tournament sponsorship status by selling its one-of-a-kind French Fries in colorful paperboard containers sporting 12 different vibrant soc cer-inspired images and encouraging customers to collect each one via a ‘peel-and-win’ contest sticker on the back driving them to the company’s microsite to enter a code for a chance to win a prize—including a dreamy trip to the final at Rio de Janeiro’s famed Maracana stadium. To top it off, McDonald’s unveiled an über -cool new GOL! aug mented reality (AR) mobile app—developed by California app designers Qualcomm Connected Experiences and Trigger —to engage customers in a fun trick-shot game of flicking soccer balls into their fries container on their beloved iPhone, an Android smartphone or a tablet. Olé, olé olé olé!
Although the renowned Italian vintner Astoria Wines was not an official spon sor of the quadrennial soccer extrava ganza, the winemaker was only too happy to get into the spirit of the game by simply tethering a foam soccer ball onto the elongated necks of the styl ish 750-ml glass bottles of its popular Prosecco Doc brand of sparking white wine. Even without this sporting flourish, the green glass bottle with sloping shoulders is a vivid celebra tion of beautiful packaging, thanks to the gold-foil wrapping applied tightly around the twist-wire-bound cork stopper, while the whimsical golden-leaf floral design surrounding the gold-tile nameplate playfully eludes to the fruitiness of the bubbly libation inside.
Instead of using a shrinksleeve, the stylish can is actually direct-printed with an avant-garde, hand-crafted illustration that features an architectural cornice sketch surrounding the product name, with nearby sketches of mangoes greatly enhancing the design’s visual texture while depicting the candy’s flavor.

Once the gleaming golden World Cup trophy was awarded to its well-deserving winners (Germany), it was time to relax and enjoy the rest of the summer by indulging in some tropically-inspired treats. With mango being my favorite fruit of all time, my chance discovery Tropical Mango with Original flavor of Chimes Ginger Chews candy—imported from Indonesia Roxy Trading, Inc. of Pomona, Ca.—was largely ilitated by the retro-inspired packaging that effectively cuts through the visual noise and clutter of the hypercompetitive confections section of my grocery store. The tallish metal container fits perfectly into the consumer’s hand, where a simple push with a thumb prompts the lid to slide open to reveal a tightly packed trove of candies, individually wrapped in sealed mylar pouches.
With summer heat and iced tea being practically made for each other, a big nod to the Coca-Cola Refreshments Canada Company for taking the art of thirst-quenching to the max with the 695-ml “tall-boy” cans of the Nestea brand of Half Tea & Half Lemonade beverage, sporting an abstract sketch of the sun setting behind the famed Nestea logo and gently reflecting off the water ripples below to create a cool cottagesque impres sion. The clever position ing of the lemon wedge graphic under flavor’s name quickly relates that this not your average runof-the-mill ice-tea, while the slightly angled lettering projects a relaxed, laid-back vibe that perfectly compli ments the promised beverage experience. It’s a similar lakeside effect with the Nestea Honey Ginseng Green Tea tall-boy, albeit projecting a somewhat more serene and Zen-like impression well befitting the essence of this greentea beverage. Notably, the clearly-printed 99¢ price offers consumer a welcome MSRP price-point that forces retailers to be honest with their pricing—a priceless attribute in its own right.
