FROM THE EDITOR

Time to call it a day for packaging anonymity

ackaging is not a fame game. The average consumer reaching for a box of cereal or a carton of milk on the supermarket shelf has no clue who made the package for that product, nor is there a compelling reason them to do so. For the most part, the only time consumers really get worked up about packaging to any great extent is when it fails to perform as well as expected, often resulting in outbursts of viral ‘wrap rage’ that, more often than not, are primarily directed at brand-owners, rather than packaging providers. As a result, packaging producers and suppliers largely operate under the cloak of relative anonymity in the consumer marketplace in terms of public recognition and scrutiny, which seems to be just fine for a vast majority of them. After all, you don’t need to be a household name to have your package end up in people’s households. And while the public’s awareness of the importance of packaging in their everyday lives has undoubtedly increased with the concerted global efforts to make product packaging more sustainable, this rise in awareness in largely rooted in negative perceptions of packaging as a necessary evil, rather than a force for greater social good. Which is complete nonsense, as most or our readers will agree, but there is no quick fix to overcoming negative stereotypes that have been years, if not decades, in the making. So with that in mind, the recent decision by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) to declare September 6 as the “World Packaging Day” deserves some credit for at least attempting to change the current narrative into a more balanced conversation. Proclaimed by WPO as, “A call to raise awareness of packaging as a strategic enabler of our modern life in society,” and selected specifically to coincide with the date of the group’s founding (September 6, 1968) in Tokyo, it just may be the spark the industry needs to begin rehabilitating its global public image and perception. As WPO president Luciana Pellegrino states, “Packaging is present in every aspect of our daily lives, serving society across the globe by allowing efficient production chains and logistics, product preservation and functional usability reducing losses and waste, enhancing sus-

CANADIANPACKAGING · July/August 2026

tainability in consumption, and most of all, providing safe and convenient access to goods for better quality of life for society. “In short, packaging enables economic, social and environmental positive impact in our modern life in society,” says Pellegrino, citing its time-tested benefits of product protection and preservation, branding and marketing, food waste prevention, consumer convenience, product differentiation, shelf appeal and so on. But rather that preaching to the choir, “The World Packaging Day (WPD) aims to increase public awareness on the role packaging plays as a strategic tool in sourcing more than eight billion people on earth, and to establish a globally recognized platform that encourages collaboration among institutions, industry, academia and society to advance responsible, sustainable and innovative packaging solutions and circularity,” according to WPO. To achieve that, WPO is planning to encourage its global members and stakeholders worldwide will be to organize their own local initiatives—including conferences, educational programs, factory visits, sustainability projects, innovation showcases, student activities and public awareness campaigns—in a shared collaborative global showcase, coordinated by WPO and organized across four major themes: • Packaging for Progress, highlighting packaging’s contribution to health, safety, accessibility and quality of life. • Packaging Against Food Waste, demonstrating how packaging protects food, extends shelf-life and improves food safety. • Packaging and Economic Growth, showcasing packaging’s role in supporting brands, logistics, manufacturing, exports, e-commerce and international trade. • Packaging and Sustainability, promoting Circular Economy principles, eco-design, responsible consumption and material innovation. For an industry still seeking the public respect it truly deserves, it’s an idea whose day has clearly come the full circle.

Leading juice brand keeping things Simply with national marketing blitz

As Canadians become increasingly mindful of what goes into the products they consume, the Simply brand of fresh-squeezed fruit juices and juice drinks from The Coca-Cola Company is doubling down on its promise to deliver delicious beverages made with simple, high‑quality ingredients that Canadians can feel good about. Packaged in distinct clear plastic carafe containers with green wide-mouth screw-top

closures and tamper-proof tear strips, the Simply juice products family has launched an extensive nationwide promotional campaign to highlight the nutritional and natural attributes of its growing flavor portfolio, including the launch of the brand new Simply Cranberry beverage—a balanced tart‑and‑sweet flavored blend made with 100-percent Canadian cranberries and cane sugar. Presented in the brand’s signature clear 344-ml and 1.54-liter carafe bottles, the new offering underscores the brand’s s commitment

Improve Food Safety with Re-Inspection Understanding Foreign Material Investigations Foreign material investigations move quickly, and having a repeatable, defensible re-inspection process is critical. Understanding the steps involved in mobile or in-house finished goods re-inspection programs, validating thresholds, and setting performance expectations help to ensure a successful investigation. Pre-testing using X-ray is the foundation of any successful rework effort. Our PXT™ Photon Counting and Dual Energy technologies detect most foreign materials below 1 mm in packaged food and beverages, including bone, dense material, gaskets and O-rings, metal and stainless steel, plastic, rubber, stone, and wire.

to real and natural ingredients, according to Rachelle Somerville, juice lead for Coca-Cola Canada Ltd. in Toronto. “The juice category is an important part of our beverage portfolio, and we’re focused on meeting evolving consumer preferences with products that deliver on great quality,” Somerville says. “Simply has become a trusted choice for many Canadians, and we’re excited to continue bringing refreshing beverages made with simple, recognizable ingredients to consumers across the country.” As Somerville explains, Coca-Cola Canada is raisin the Simply brand profile this summer with a national “integrated 360° media plan” focused on awareness and trial, using a high‑reach mix across paid social, digital and retail media to connect with Canadians as part of their everyday routines. Says Somerville: “Our ‘Say Yes to Simply’ campaign is designed to highlight how the brand is bringing its commitment to simple, high-quality ingredients to life across its portfolio.” As part of this campaign, the brand will be conducting summer-long national retail sampling trials at Walmart, Loblaws and Sobeys stores to encourage in‑store trial and purchase of the flagship Simply Orange Juice beverage, available in four different blend varieties. “This initiative brings Simply Orange Juice’s core credentials—100-percent orange juice, never from concentrate, no added sugar, no preservatives—directly to shoppers,” Somerville says, “reinforcing its role as a straightforward option for your everyday beverage that you can feel good about.” Somerville says the brand’s distinct and classy packaging presentation plays a vital role in its continued success in Canada. “Our packaging is designed to reflect what the brand stands for—transparency, quality and simplicity,” Somerville states. “With our signature clear carafe bottle, every package is intended to give Canadians confidence in what’s inside, while reinforcing our commitment to real ingredients. “All Simply products are prepared and sold in Canada, with bilingual packaging and marketing tailored to Canadian consumers,” Somerville points out, adding that the brand’s bestselling Simply 100% Orange Juice and Simply Lemonade beverages are also available in large 2.25-liter carafes across Canada at all major grocery retailers. 6

COVERING ALL ANGLES Redesigned from the ground up for the realities of modern hygienic production, the new VTC 840 WD washdown vertical packaging system from Harpak-ULMA combines full 360-degree IP66 washdown capability, intelligent automation, and simplified operator ergonomics in a next-generation vertical packaging platform. Built for demanding protein, poultry, cheese, frozen food and other high-sanitation applications, the VTC 840 WD was engineered as a unified hygienic packaging platform that simultaneously advances cleanability, sustainability, operator usability and production efficiency, according to the company. Featuring full IP66-certified washdown architecture that withstands aggressive high-pressure sanitation from every angle, the machine’s redesigned mechanical and pneumatic systems reduce both electrical and compressed-air consumption, while a dramatically simplified film path lowers the number of reel rollers from 30 to just five. Moreover, features like barcode-driven recipe automation, automatic machine adjustments, intelligent film tracking, and zone-specific alarm visualization help reduce operator dependency, while improving set-up repeatability and production consistency.

applies labels from 10-mm to 110-mm in width and from 10-mm to 500-mm in length without relying on mechanically complex components, such as clutches and brakes, which often require ongoing adjustments and operator attention. Instead, the machine’s motor-driven Intelligent Motion technolog automatically manages label web tension, alignment and movement to account for changing conditions in roll diameter, label speed or format change in real time to help maintain stable, controlled label handling throughout production for consistent label placement. Designed for optimal flexibility, the system can adapt to different production line layouts, machine configurations and application requirements, helping users select the right mounting, reach and set-up for their operation.

Sustainable fiber-based trays hit the road in first trial runs

s food trucks continue to gain favor and popularity with large segments of the population around the world, progressive food truck operators are becoming increasingly aware of their collective responsibility to keep a lid on the amount of waste generated by their businesses. For Patricia Dianda, founder of leading Swedish food-truck and catering services provider Flavor-Boss, switching to a brand new range of fiber-based takeaway trays developed by sustainable packaging solutions pioneer Yangi AB is quickly proving to be a win-win proposition for both entrepreneurial firms. Founded in 2016 in Malmö, Flavor-Boss has quickly evolved from a home-hobby project into one of Sweden’s most celebrated food street operations, specializing in the bold and spicy Afro-Caribbean street food offerings such as jerk chicken and pork, curry goat, oxtail stew, various meat pies and other flavorful hot dishes. Nowadays operating across Sweden, the multiple award-winning company—including a four-time Swedish Street Food Champion (2022–2025) and Nordic Street Food Champion (2023)—has become a popular go-to catering choice for many private celebrations, corporate events, festivals and international collaborations across Sweden and beyond. Earlier this year, Flavor-Boss became the first real-world testing site for Yangi’s quick-serve and

takeaway packaging range that also includes lids for hot and cold beverages, bowls and plates, amongst other items, designed to replace single-use plastic in foodservice settings. Produced on Yangi’s industrial demo line in Varberg, the company’s proprietary dry-forming technology produces fiber-based packaging without the water-intensive processes required by conventional fiber forming, significantly reducing resource consumption and CO₂ emissions compared with plastic alternatives. Compatible with existing paper recycling streams, the new packaging range exhibits robust barrier performance that makes it a practical option in real foodservice applications, according to Yangi, with Flavor-Boss providing direct feedback on the material’s handling,

functionality, and everyday usability under real operating conditions. “These trays are brilliant for a busy service,” says Flavor-Boss founder Dianda, named one of Sweden’s Top 10 Young Entrepreneurs in 2024. “They come apart easily—no fussing with trays sticking together—they look great and, most importantly, they’re sturdy enough that people can walk around a festival with a full tray in one hand without it giving way.” As Yangi’s founder Anna Altner explains, “A tray or bowl needs to handle oil and moisture for the duration of a meal—not for days. “Our tailored material recipe with integrated barrier chemistry is matched exactly to that requirement, without the plastic or multilayer materials that add complexity well beyond what the product’s life-span or end-of-life management warrants.” According to Altner, Yangi’s industrial demo line in Varberg provides brands and retailers with a practical route to market-test dry-formed fiber packaging in real operating conditions before committing to high-volume production. “Seeing Yangi trays being used to serve real customers is a proud moment for our team,” Altner states. “Years of research, engineering, product development, and controlled production have led to this point. “It is a powerful demonstration that dry-formed packaging is entering the world in a real way.”

Mondi expands its fiber range

lobal packaging and paper products group Mondi plc has expanded its full fiber-mix containerboard portfolio to help support the adoption of more circular packaging solutions designed to protect products, while optimizing material efficiency. Following its recent milestone acquisition of Schumacher Packaging—including wo stateof-the-art mega box plants in Ebersdorf and Greven (Germany)—Mondi’s portfolio now includes comprehensive solid board solutions and advanced digital printing capabilities to serve virtually all key food industry segments. “The food sector is undergoing rapid change, with sustainability targets, EU legislation and shifting consumer behaviors all driving new requirements for packaging,” says Mondi’s chief operating officer Paulus Goëss. “By expanding our portfolio, we can help customers respond to these trends with solu-

THE PERFECT CURE Deli meats producer combines authentic Old World meat curing techniques with high-end barrier films to serve up a tasteful packaging masterclass By George Guidoni, Editor Photos by Ahmad Sayed

CANADIANPACKAGING · July/August 2026

f all the delicious European-style deli meats and cold cuts consumed by North American consumers on a daily basis or at special dining occasions, it’s hard to look beyond salami as an enduring symbol of Old World culinary excellence, craftsmanship and versatility. Tracing its roots back to the days of the Roman Empire, the modern-day salami sausages—typically made from air-dried, fermented and salted pork or other red meats—first started gaining their widespread popularity soon after the mass arrival of Italian immigrants to North America in the early part of the

20th century, bringing time-tested salami-making recipes and techniques with them from various parts of Italy. And while the variety of ingredients and seasonings used to make salami have increased exponentially in the following decades—combined with advances in meat processing methodology and equipment—the core principle of allowing the encased sausage meat to cure as long as it takes to develop its desired robust flavor and texture, up to 60 days in some cases, has remained largely unchanged. This respect for tradition and authenticity is faithfully played out each working day at the 38,000-square-foot meat processing plant operated by Venetian Meat & Salami Co. Ltd. in CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

The Venetian Meats plant employs two fully-automatic thermoform packaging machines to produce a diverse variety of retail packs for its premium-quality dry-cured and cooked deli meats, using several types and grades of barrier film supplied by Duropac to achieve extended product shelf-life and attractive shelf presentation at retail level. Stoney Creek, an eastern suburb of Hamilton, Ont. Founded in 1954, the family-owned company is one of Canada’s largest independent producers of Italian-style dry-cured meats, whose flagship Venetian brand covers the virtually the entire gamut of traditional salami varieties, including: • Genoa, Siciliana, Abruzzo, Calabrese, Fennel, Coppa, and Nostrano salami and salametti, available in varioussized chubs; • Cacciatore, Chorizo, sliced Pepperoni and Pepperettes; • Cured and/or smoked deli meats like Mortadella, Capicollo, Prosciuttino, Lonza and Pancetta. “While our roots remain firmly CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

grounded in traditional Italian salamimaking, the company has evolved into a modern food manufacturing operation producing premium Italian-style drycured and cooked deli meats,” says company president Daniel Dorigiola, a third-generation company co-owner alongside long-time business partner Mark Dal Bello. Currently employing about 65 fulltime people on a two-shift schedule, the Stoney Creek plant has the capacity to produce 2.5 to three million kilograms of finished product annually, according to Dorigiola, with an ongoing 15,000-squarefoot plant expansion expected to double that capacity in the near future. “Once completed, this investment will significantly increase our production

capabilities and position the business for continued growth,” says Dorigiola, citing growing demand for the company’s gourmet-quality product offerings. “Out Italian-style dry-cured and cooked meats are created using a traditional family recipes and quality ingredients, which are sourced domestically and/or imported,” Dorigiola reveals. “Our extensive range of salami includes Cacciatore and Genoa salami, signature cooked and dry-cured slice Pepperoni and Capicollo, which form the core of our product line.” In addition to enjoying strong national presence in retail markets through major supermarket chains including Loblaws, Longo’s, Metro, Costco and Save-OnFoods, Venetian Meats operates a busy on-site retail storefront to serve a loyal local customer base, while also supplying major local pizzarias, deli stores and catering businesses with diverse offerings of various cooked and dry-cured pepperoni products. Notably, the company is currently exporting about 10 per cent of its output to the U.S. market, which Dorigiola expects to grow significantly in coming years. Naturally, this success did not happen overnight, as Dorigiola explains. “When my grandfather and his business partner began producing traditional Italian salami in a garage back in 1954, they were selling it door-to-door by bicycle throughout the Hamilton area,” July/August 2026 · CANADIANPACKAGING

he recalls. “As demand grew, they saved enough money to purchase a hearse, which became their first delivery vehicle and allowed them to expand their reach across the region. “One of the company’s earliest milestones involved earning a place on the shelves at Fortino’s,” Dorigiola continues. “Initially, Mr. Fortino was reluctant to bring the product into his stores, so my grandfather took a different approach by selling Venetian salami directly to families living in the neighborhoods surrounding the Fortino’s locations. “As word spread and demand for the 16

product grew, customers started asking for Venetian salami when they visited the store. “Recognizing the growing consumer interest, Mr. Fortino eventually agreed to carry the product,” Dorigiola recounts. “It was an early lesson in the importance of building demand through quality, persistence and strong customer relationships—values that continue to guide Venetian Meats today,” Dorigiola states. As Dorigiola explains, food safety is a paramount priority at the federallyregistered Stoney Creek plant, with daily on-site CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) oversight and

periodic USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) audits ensuring a rigorous HACCP ((Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) program throughout the facility at all times. “We have also achieved SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification, a globally recognized food safety initiative that goes beyond basic regulatory requirements,” Dorigiola points out. “Maintaining our SQF certification requires rigorous controls, ongoing audits, continuous improvement initiatives, and a company-wide commitment to food safety and quality,” he states, crediting his partner Mark Dal Bello for ensuring optimal food safety and uncompromising product quality control on the plant’s production lines. “We continuously monitor critical production parameters and invest in employee training, process controls and equipment to maintain the highest standards,” says Dorigiola. “Our traditional curing methods, combined with modern manufacturing practices allow us to preserve authentic Italian craftsmanship while ensuring repeatable results at scale,” he divulges. “Our goal is to be a dependable partner for our customers by consistently delivering the right products at the right time,” he states, “while maintaining flexibility to support changing market demands.” As Dorigiola explains, maintaining a safe working environment for its employees is also a major imperative for the Stoney Creek operation. “Through regular training, preventative maintenance programs, workplace safety audits and employee engagement, we

As Dorigiola asserts, “Our success in the marketplace is rooted in a combination of craftsmanship, consistency and strong relationships with our customers and distribution partners. “As a family-owned company with decades of experience in Italian-style cured and cooked meats, we have built a reputation for authentic products that meet high standards of quality and flavor,” says Dorigiola, adding the company’s product portfolio is perfectly aligned with the prevailing North American nutrition trends. “One of the most significant trends is the continued demand for protein-rich foods,” Dorigiola remarks. “Consumers are increasingly focused on incorporating high-quality protein into their diets, and CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

CANADIANPACKAGING · July/August 2026

racing its origins to the early 1700s, the humble loaf cake remains the quintessential comfort food of all the baked goods out there today. Peaking in popularity dur ing the nasty COVID-19 pandemic earlier this decade—with the banana bread recipes said to be the topmost-searched recipe globally during the pandemic lockdowns—loaf cakes remain a highly sought-after among legions of consumers drawn by their traditional, home-baked and comforting qualities invoking sweet nostalgia and happy childhood memories. Easily portionable and highly versatile in terms of flavor, texture and ingredient possibilities, a well-made loaf

cake can also bring a lot of visual flair and elegance to any dessert table—especially when it’s made by hard-working folks at the Schaaf Foods commercial bakery in Waterloo, Ont. Founded in 1978, the privately-owned company started out with a simple mission to create high-quality loaf cakes using traditional recipes and the finest ingredients. With relentless focus on quality, tradition, innovation and service as its core values, Schaaf Foods has evolved into a thriving commercial bakery business nowadays serving major grocery retail chains, warehouse retailers and foodservice operators across Canada with an ever-growing product portfolio. “We currently manage over 70 active SKUs (stock-keeping units), and we continue to grow the portfolio in step CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

with customer demand,” says Jeff Keyes, general manager at peanut-free Waterloo facility that also offers a range of related sweet and savory baked goods such as brownies, muffins, corn bread and fritters to complement its flagship Schaaf brand of premium-quality loaf cakes. “Our product range is produced across branded, private-label and customized customer programs,” Keyes relates, “spanning multiple formats from petite and mini through single-serve, loaf, dual-loaf and multipacks—giving our customers flexibility, while we hold complexity on the floor to what genuinely earns its place.” Describing Shaaf Foods plant as a “People-first, continuous-improvement bakery operation,” Keyes credits the company’s extensive experience in the baked goods industry and emphasis on product innovation and safety as major contributors to its ongoing success.

to stay in with the current market trends and consumer demands for extended shelf-life, innovative seasonal flavors, and high protein and fiber content. These trends are duly reflected in the delectable selection of moist and delicious loaf cake recipes produced at the SQF (Safe Quality Food)-certified facility, including Golden Vanilla, Lemon, Marble, Golden & Marble, Banana, Banana Marble, Lemon & Raspberry and other varieties. As Keyes affirms, “Our success reflects the deliberate diversification of products, driven by innovation and close monitoring of industry trends.” Also boasting both Kosher and Halal certifications, “Our plant’s peanut- and nut-free status further supports customers seeking lower allergen cross-contact risk,” says Keyes, while also stressing the importance of Schaaf ’s packaging capabilities and competencies to the company’s growth. “Our predominant packaging formats are the classic clamshell and modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP),” he says, “complemented by individually wrapped and multipack options. “For our products, MAP is a particular differentiator because it delivers extended shelf-life without additional additives, which is a clean-label advantage of growing importance to our customers,” Keyes points out, adding that Schaaf Foods intends to use this capability as a competitive advantage as it pursues new export markets. “We are actively developing international opportunities, with early-stage work underway toward the U.S. and U.K. markets,” he reveals, “so packaging innovation is a major focus for us.” As part of this quest for exports, the company is actively collaborating with food science researchers at the nearby University of Guelph and Conestoga College to conduct in-depth validation studies for its product shelf-life claims. “As our SKU count grows, we apply standard work and July/August 2026 · CANADIANPACKAGING

disciplined changeover practices so added variety strengthens the portfolio rather than eroding line efficiency,” says Keyes, citing the company’s patient and selective approach to investing in all-out automation of its production process. “Our process blends manual craftsmanship with targeted automation,” Keyes explains. “People remain central to the work—hand-loading the line and de-panning, for example— while we deploy automation where it removes variation and safeguards quality, such as automated quality monitoring with metal detection. “The guiding principle is to automate in order to reduce variation withing SKUs and physical strain on the team,” Keyes proclaims, “not simply to remove people.” Housing one main production line and two packaging lines (clamshell and MAP), “Our facility currently operates a single shift on a four-day, ten-hour schedule,” Keyes divulges. “This is a deliberate ‘people-first’ choice that gives every team member a consistent three-day weekend while maintaining full production coverage,” says Keyes, citing fairly steady year-round production levels without many seasonal demand surges or peaks. “Having level, predictable volume lets us run standardized work, hold stable staffing and protect quality,” Keyes remarks, “while cross-training gives us the flexibility to flex labor to any bottleneck as customer requirements shift. “So rather than assigning people to narrow single tasks, we cross-train the team across the majority of operations so the lines stay balanced and resilient,” says Keyes, citing mixing, filling line loading, product transfer to cooking/cooling rooms, and end-of-line packing as some of the core functions included in the company’s cross-training activities. “Because our team is broadly cross-trained, we have built-in capacity to bring a second shift online quickly and flawlessly as demand grows,” Keyes explains, “scaling through capability rather than scrambling.”

CANADIANPACKAGING · July/August 2026

As Keyes relates, the company has carried out a series of major capital upgrades over the last few years to boost its production and packaging efficiencies, while preparing itself for the anticipated new growth in the export markets. “Over the past two-and-a half-years we have continuously upgraded and modernized the plant,” Keyes reveals.” The work has spanned building and grounds improvements, material-flow (value-stream) improvements, removal of obsolete equipment, installation of new equipment, and ongoing team development, including cross-training on tasks related to health-and-safety, quality and food safety. “This has been steady, disciplined modernization rather than a single disruptive event,” says Keyes, stressing the importance of not disrupting a well-established, validated production multistep process that consists of: • Mixing, preparing batches in large-batch mixers; • Filling, depositing raw product; • Cooking, baking products in carousel ovens; • De-panning, manual removal of product from the pans. • Cooling, bringing the product temperature down under controlled conditions. • Packaging, sealing the finished product one either the clamshell line or the MAP line. • Storage, holding finished product in freezer storage. As Keyes explains, “The flow is intentionally designed to minimize handling and backtracking between stages, which protects quality, supports first-pass yield and reduces waste. “The product flows through clear sequential stages, with equipment selected for repeatability and ease of sanitation,” says Keyes, explaining the company’s decision to invest in some high-performance packaging equipment from Reiser (Canada) Ltd., a leading packaging equipment distributor and integrator headquartered in Dundas, Ont. “Our largest expenditures over the last two years have been in equipment,” Keyes relates. “Our legacy equipment was obsolete, CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

new Cascades 2026–2030 Q The Sustainability Plan, Rising

Together, is the company’s fifth sustainability plan released publicly since 2010. How different is this plan from its predecessors? From experience, we know that meaningful change depends on the strength of collective action. Hence, Rising Together is a call to mobilize our customers, employees, suppliers, and communities to power a current of change. Guided by a double materiality assessment approach, financial materiality served as a foundation for prioritizing the topics covered in this plan, ensuring alignment with the company’s overall strategic priorities. In this context, risk

assessment and mitigation are now integral to our priorities, reflecting the growing importance of ESG risks in organizational practices. Whether related to the supply chain, biodiversity, climate change, health and safety, psychosocial factors or talent retention, managing these risks informs many of our priorities and supports our overall corporate resilience. Science-based approaches remain a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy. With climate targets aligned with the requirements of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we maintain our alignment with internationally recognized standards and approaches. This plan also introduces a commitment to developing and sharing product carbon footprints (PCFs) based on LCA. By doing so, Cascades ensures that its decisions are informed, rigorous and credible, while supporting our customers in making more responsible choices. We have also shifted our focus toward reducing absolute (GHG) emissions, in alignment with the SBTi recommendations. This approach ensures that our overall GHG emissions decrease regardless of business growth. successful has Cascades Q How been in achieving the goals and

targets it has been setting for itself over the years? Cascades is proud to have maintained sustainability action plans with measurable targets since 2010, demonstrating the company’s long-standing commitment to continuously improving its environmental and social performance. Over the years, we have made substantial progress in reducing GHG emissions, energy consumption, and effluent discharges across our mills. Since 2019, we have reduced Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity by 22.2 per cent, surpassing our 2025 target of a 19.3-percent reduction. We have also significantly improved energy efficiency, lowering purchased energy consumption per tonne of product manufactured by 16.6 per cent—far exceeding our 2025 target of six per cent. In addition, our efforts to minimize our environmental footprint have resulted in a 34-percent reduction in effluent intensity per tonne of product manufactured since 2019—more than doubling our 2025 target of 15 percent. Our previous sustainability plans have also enabled us to strengthen our responsible sourcing practices, particularly through increased collaboration with suppliers that meet our sustainability standards and through the procurement of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-compliant fiber.

Our Rising Together action plan places a strong emphasis on helping clients reduce their environmental footprint, while accelerating the decarbonization and resilience of our own operations and value chain. This plan includes 18 commitments, including 10 measurable targets, that will allow us to track and quantify our progress. It also introduces emerging new topics like virgin fiber traceability, use of potable water, climate- and nature-related risk management, disclosure of our GHG emissions, and more. Our key objectives include increasing transparency on product climate impacts by communicating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 100 per cent of priority products through peer-reviewed PCFs based on LCAs. This initiative will provide customers with reliable environmental data to support purchasing decisions and help reduce Scope 3 emissions across their value chains. The plan also calls for the strengthening of responsible sourcing and traceability by ensuring that 100 per cent of purchased virgin fibre and paper originate from low-risk areas for deforestation and natural ecosystem conversion. Building on FSC-certified sourcing practices, Cascades is moving beyond certification requirements by conducting in-depth assessments to provide greater assurance of deforestation-free supply chains and enhanced product traceability. We aim to get a better understanding of fiber and paper origins to improve supply chain visibility, support compliance with

company achieve the goals outlined in its new plan? What kind of support do you have from the senior management team in helping you carry out your sustainability mission? Sustainability has been part of Cascades’ DNA since its founding. Our President and CEO, Hugues Simon, and the entire executive leadership team recognize that sustainabilityis a business priority and key driver of long-term resilience and competitiveness, particularly in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment. The strength of our leadership support was demonstrated when all members of the Executive Leadership Team formally co-signed the new Sustainability Plan during its official launch, reinforcing their collective commitment to its successful implementation. Cascades has a well-established governance structure that actively supports the implementation of the Sustainability Plan. Multiple committees involving members of the executive leadership team oversee sustainability-related topics, ensuring accountability and cross-functional collaboration. I will be involved in the ESG Disclosure Committee, which includes senior leaders such as the CFO and Legal team. In addition, the Executive Leadership Team and the Board’s Health and Safety, Environment and Sustainable Development Committee are involved to track performance against our targets, with progress reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure objectives remain on track. I am responsible for tracking progress against our sustainability objectives, identifying risks and challenges, and highlighting successes. I also provide senior leaders and governance committees with the information and insights needed to support informed decision-making and keep the organization on-track to achieve its goals. A key part of my role is to ensure that Cascades’ sustainability vision, commitments, and progress are clearly understood by employees, customers, and business partners. Effective communication is essential to building engagement and credibility around our new Sustainability Plan. With my background on the commercial side of the business, I have a strong understanding of customer needs and priorities. This experience helps me identify how Cascades’ sustainability commitments create value for customers

parison with the north American industry average. In 2026, Cascades carried out an LCA study of corrugated cardboard boxes with an independent third party. The results show that Cascades corrugated cardboard boxes emit 19 per cent fewer GHG emissions and reduce land-use impacts by 63 per cent, compared with the industry average. Beyond the environmental benefits of our products, Cascades also supports customers through its packaging optimization and eco-design expertise. Our innovation, design and sustainability teams work collaboratively with customers to evaluate and redesign packaging solutions, considering factors such as material efficiency, recyclability, recycled content, product protection and overall circularity. These considerations can help customers align their packaging strategies with evolving sustainability expectations and EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) frameworks. Supported by our LCA data, we can also quantify the environmental impacts of packaging design changes and help customers make informed decisions that advance their sustainability objectives. By continuously improving the environmental performance of our operations and maximizing the use of recycled

and responsibly sourced fiber, we can provide packaging solutions with a lower environmental footprint. These improvements help our customers advance their own sustainability commitments and respond to growing stakeholders and regulatory expectations. confident is the company Q How about achieving the goals and

objectives outlined in this plan? Although no organization can guarantee the achievement of every sustainable development commitment, Cascades is proactively putting the right mechanisms in place to give itself the strongest possible foundation for success. The company relies on its strong values and long-standing sustainability culture, which have been part of its identity since its beginnings in 1964. This provides a critical anchor in an economic and geopolitical environment that is constantly evolving. A clear governance structure supports implementation. Various committees, including the Board, executive management and disclosure committees, ensure rigorous monitoring of commitments and their integration into business processes. Employee engagement is a key success factor. Among other initiatives, Cascades is investing in strengthening

more than 15 years, we have been using LCA results to disclose credible and scientifically valid information to our clients. As part of this new Sustainability Plan, Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) will be developed and validated by a recognized third party based on our LCA data. This initiative will enable Cascades’ customers to calculate their GHG inventories with greater precision, guide their procurement choices in an informed manner, and support the achievement of their climate goals. Cascades has used EcoVadis’ tools to vet its suppliers since 2012. To this day, EcoVadis remains a widely recognized and respected organization worldwide. The first EcoVadis tool we use provides a rapid overview of a supplier’s ESG risks based on its industry sector and geographic location; the analysis being enhanced by artificial intelligence. Priority suppliers, identified according to spend and risk level, are then requested to complete a more comprehensive ESG questionnaire, which generates an ESG performance score that can be used to benchmark companies. These two tools provide a comprehensive view of supplier ESG performance and help guide our decisions to work with organizations that share our values.

Canada in the U.S., do you see any difficulties or challenges in carrying out the plan’s goals and objectives on both sides of the border? Our sustainability plan is designed to be deployed across all our operations, regardless of geography. Over the years, Cascades has established a clear governance structure, well-defined priorities and strong management accountability around sustainability. This alignment enables us to prioritize projects, allocate resources effectively and drive implementation consistently across both Canada and the U.S. From an organizational standpoint, we do not see significant barriers to advancing the plan on either side of the border. The challenges we face are less internal than external and are largely linked to the broader geopolitical and regulatory environment. For example, the availability of renewable and low-carbon electricity varies significantly by region in the U.S., which can influence the pace and feasibility of certain decarbonization initiatives. That said, we view these differences as factors to manage rather than as obstacles to overcome. Our approach is built on long-term objectives, but also on flexibility—allowing us to adapt our actions to local realities while remaining aligned with our overall sustainability ambitions. Ultimately, the strength of our sustainability strategy lies in the consistency of our vision and commitment, even as operating conditions evolve.

Our innovation, design and sustainability teams work closely with customers to develop packaging solutions tailored to their specific needs, while applying eco-design principles throughout the development process. This includes improving recyclability, optimizing material use, increasing post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and eliminating unnecessary packaging components whenever possible. For example, Cascades redesigned its MAP (modified-atmosphere packaging) to improve end-of-life recyclability, while maintaining product preservation performance. By removing the thin polyethylene layer previously used inside the tray, the product is now made entirely from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), making it easier to recycle while

Beyond ERM processes, climate and nature-related risks are managed as operational risks. There are several concrete initiatives are already in place to help manage waterrelated risk. In our new Sustainability Plan, Cascades has established a goal to reduce its potable water consumption by five per cent by 2030, compared to 2025, supported by a dedicated action plan including mapping of our water sources and ensuring that potable water is only used where operations require it. Water recirculation and closed-loop systems have been in place for many years at our facilities. With respect to extreme weather events, our climate risk assessments have identified two primary areas of concern: extreme heat, and flooding and extreme precipitation. As temperatures rise and heat waves become more frequent, we have adapted work schedules and break periods where appropriate, while reinforcing hydration practices across our operations. Over the past year, we have also rolled out heat stress awareness and prevention training to help employees recognize potential risks and reduce the likelihood of heat-related incidents and injuries. Regarding flooding and extreme precipitation, we have implemented targeted adaptation measures to strengthen the resilience of our operations and assets. We continue to act on recommendations from our insurance partners to enhance asset protection and mitigate potential impacts. In addition, we have proactively worked with transportation providers to adjust logistics planning and contractual arrangements, ensuring greater flexibility and continuity in the face of weather-related disruptions affecting transportation routes and infrastructure. are Cascades employees Q How encouraged to propose and lead

customers achieve their goals and supporting suppliers in their own sustainability journeys. Targeted training programs will equip employees with expertise in key topics such as the LCAs, PCFs, fiber traceability, and eco-design innovation.

What are the main bottom-line and other corporate and social benefits you are hoping to achieve under this new plan? The benefits we are seeking through this plan are both economic and societal, and we see the two as closely interconnected. From a business perspective, sustainability helps strengthen competitiveness and support long-term growth. Further improving operational efficiency will allow us to reduce our consumption of resources, leading to better cost management while lowering our environmental footprint. The plan also supports stronger relationships with customers and suppliers by fostering long-term engagement around common objectives. Finally, investing in the health, safety and engagement of our employees creates the conditions for our teams to thrive and contribute fully to the organization’s success. For society and our broader stakeholder ecosystem, the benefits are equally important. We want to continue providing essential everyday products while steadily reducing their environmental impact throughout their life-cycle. By focusing on eco-designed hygiene and packaging solutions, we aim at helping advance circularity, resource efficiency and responsible consumption. Ultimately, these benefits are fundamental to Cascades’ long-term growth and competitiveness. Our objective is to create lasting value

its designated end date? At Cascades, sustainability is not defined by a single plan or a specific time-line. It is rooted in the values that have guided the organization since its founding and continue to shape how we make decisions, work together and create long-term value. We hope this plan will reinforce that legacy by demonstrating that even in a complex and rapidly evolving geopolitical and economic environment, it is possible to remain committed to ambitious, credible and results-driven sustainability objectives. We also want this plan to broaden Cascades’ impact beyond the boundaries of our own operations, as collaboration is a central pillar of our approach for the next five years. Whether through partnerships with customers, suppliers, employees or community organizations, we believe meaningful progress happens when stakeholders work together toward shared objectives. Ultimately, we want this plan to be remembered for delivering tangible and measurable results while strengthening Cascades’ role as a sustainability leader. Our success will not only be defined by the progress we achieve within our own organization, but also by our ability to help accelerate positive change across our value chain and industry. If, five years from now, we have deepened collaboration, increased the resilience of our business and stakeholders, and further advanced the transition toward a more circular and sustainable economy, we will have achieved the legacy we set out to create.

CANADIANPACKAGING · July/August 2026

ike the success stories of many small- to mediumsized Canadian businesses, the story of Produlith started from humble beginnings. In 1981, Paul Desmarchais started up a small commercial printing company named Entreprises Produlith in a garage in the Montreal suburb of Saint-Bruno de Montarville. “We were doing commercial printing—business cards, brochures, very basic printing things—and it stayed that way for a few years,” recalls Produlith’s director of business strategy and marketing Laurence Desmarchais, one of the third generation of the Desmarchais family involved in the family business. Over time, the company found success in the sector, expanding its com-

mercial printing offerings in the 1980s and 1990s. However, discussions about the business needing to adapt to new markets were already taking place. “My grandfather and my father had this vision that commercial printing would not be as profitable, and that secondary packaging would become the future and stay that way,” Laurence says. Several years later, the company— now located in Boucherville, Que.— chose to make the leap into the packaging sector under the leadership of Paul’s son, Shawn Desmarchais, president of Produlith. “We were a full commercial printer until about 2005 to 2008. That is when we began the shift towards packaging,” Shawn Desmarchais recalls. But avigating new markets was by no means an easy transition. CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

“Although printing on paper or printing on cartons has certain things that are similar, all the finishing equipment was new for us,” says Shawn. “The sales orientation also had a new focus, and so we had experienced some growing pains for several years transitioning towards it.” One of the most challenging aspects to switching the focus from commercial printing to packaging was changing the company’s estimation system. “We used to quote and estimate for brochures, posters, business cards and catalogues, and all of a sudden, we were now quoting on folding cartons, which requires carton die-cutting, gluing and all kinds of different types of embellishments. “So, we literally had to reinvent ourselves,” Shawn says. The other big challenge was having to dive into new sales channels, which ended up changing Produlith practically overnight. “We tried to keep the commercial alive during the transition,” Shawn acknowledges, “but we quickly realized that it was two different mindsets. “So, we essentially eliminated the commercial printing CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

business and started up a new business for folding cartons, after 20 years of experience on the commercial printing side,” Shawn says. “It was a time that was difficult because suppliers weren’t the same,” he recalls. “The customers weren’t the same and the equipment, other than printing, wasn’t the same. “So, it required a lot of determination.” Produlith ended up finding its first big opportunity serving the packaging sector with a family-run pharmaceutical business in Montreal that gave them their first big contract. That customer remains a client to this day. Fast-forward about 20 years, and the pharmaceutical sector still accounts for a major portion of Produlith’s packaging business, along a significant number of clients in the food-and-beverage and health-and-beauty sectors.

“We’re very much geared up for the future to take on a lot more new business.” According to Shawn, says all of these sectors’ packaging needs are growing. “There’s a great need to have good packaging,” he asserts. “Not just a nice-looking box, but packaging that also functions well.” Produlith currently operates out of two locations: the company’s main production plant for folding, comprising about 80 per cent of its business; and a secondary plant dedicated to flexible packaging. The company currently operates two folding-carton lines that feature Komori Lithrone GLX650 and GX540 advance series printing presses, both supplied by Komcan of Georgetown, Ont. “Komori is a big part of our success with the guys at Komcan,” Shawn says. During the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, when Produlith was running using just one Komori press, the company decided to invest in expanding its capabilities, as well as building in some redundancies. “We were concerned with having one printing press,” recalls Shawn. “If our printing press was to go down, that would cause 36

us a huge upset. “So getting a new press for securing more business, and securing that new press in case something goes wrong with the current press, was key to our growth.” About six years ago, Produlith decided to add to its folding carton production lines by getting into flexible packaging, focusing on labels, films and cosmetic webs. “That was really interesting, because we had customers of ours that were buying packaging from other vendors and we couldn’t do that type of packaging,” Shawn relates. “We wanted to have a better experience with our customers to say, ‘Hey, we’ll take care of your folding and we’ll take care of your flexibles at the same time,’ and that stuck really well,” Shawn says. This versatility allowed the company to become a ‘one-stop shop’ for many of its clients, he adds. “We’re now able to supply them with a broader range of packaging, including folding cartons and flexibles,while also assisting them color management, inventory management … it just makes it easier for the customers,” Shawn says.

CUT ABOVE THE REST

As part of its investment in modernizing its primary production lines, Produlith expanded its capabilities with three new BOBST machines, including: • A NOVACUT 106ER blanking die-cutter; • An EXPERTFOLD 110 A2 folder-gluer; • A VISIONFOLD 80 A2 folder-gluer. According to company president Shawn Desmarchais, the decision to invest in BOBST technolgies was driven by the company’s reputation for exceptional build quality, reliability, and consistent production performance. As Desmarchais states, “The machines are world-class. “They’re very precise, the support from BOBST is good, they’re easy to train people on, and they just perform better.” Desmarchais points out that BOBST equipment is not new to Produlith, as the two companies have had a positive working relationship for many years. When Produlith made the jump from commercial printing into folding cartons, the company purchased its first BOBST machines—a used Domino 90 older-generation folding-gluing machine and a Speria 106 die-cutting machine. “Those two pieces of equipment were the early machines that they used to start their folding carton journey,” says Harold Leete, BOBST’s director of sales for folding cartons for North America. As Produlith’s business evolved, the company continued to invest in BOBST technologies by purchaing its first blanker—a NOVACUT 106ER—which allowed the company to advance its folding carton operations. In 2023, Produlith invested in a BOBST VISIONFOLD folder-gluer machine, followed by the purchase of an EXPERTFOLD with AccuBraille floder-gluer for the pharmaceutical market in 2025. “With their pharmaceutical applications, a lot of that requires the use of Braille,” Leete explains. “The EXPERTFOLD has a unique ability with the AccuBraille unit, where they can do individual boxes one at a time and score them with the Braille technology for the for pharmaceuticals marketplace. “And they can do it at a high speed and very efficiently on a folder-gluer, compared to a die-cutter,” Leete points out. While Braille is not a federally mandated requirement in Canada or the U.S. for pharmaceutical packaging, this technology positions Produlith well if that enforcement were to take place. The precedent is already there, with Braille on pharmaceutical packaging already mandated within the European Union “In Europe, every pharmaceutical package has to have Braille on it, so we’ve got hundreds of those devices in the European market,”

uilding and maintaining a profitable business over the long term is no small achievement. According to the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), while more than half (58.8 per cent) of new Canadian businesses survive beyond their fifth year, 41.2 per cent close down before reaching that milestone. Which makes the success of Rose Hill Foods, a well-known entity in the spice business for more than 40 years, all the more noteworthy. Success came early for Rose Hill Foods. When the company was founded in 1983, it operated out of a modest 1,500-square-foot facility with what general manager George Sarbanis jokingly describes as “one-and-a-half employees.” But even in those early years, annual revenues increased consistently—a trend that has continued on its swift upwardly

trajectory ever since. Still enjoying steady annual sales growth of approximately 10 per cent, Rose Hill Foods specializes in the development, manufacturing, and supply of soup bases, sauce mixes, seasonings, liquid marinades, and premium sauces for the food processing industry, while also marketing a broad range of such products for the retail sector. Sarbanis credits much of the company’s success to the commitment and expertise of its approximately 120 employees working at facility in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal. The operation consists of two buildings, totalling 80,000 square feet, connected by an enclosed corridor that facilitates movement between the two. “We have an exceptional team of dedicated people who are passionate about doing things right in every area of the business—from manufacturing and customer service to sales and administration,” CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

Rose Hill Foods products are sold at most major grocery chains and Club Store outlets across Quebec and Ontario. says Sarbanis. “It is because of these people that Rose Hill Foods has achieved the success it enjoys today.” Today, Rose Hill Foods markets approximately 700 different products to two primary markets: the foodservice industry and the retail sector. The company’s retail products are sold through major grocery chains including Sobeys, Metro and Costco, primarily in Quebec and Ontario. For food industry professionals, the company offers Major soup bases and liquid marinades, along with Effluves & Quintessence 100-percent natural liquid sauces and reductions, a complete line of dehydrated vegetables, herbs, spices and seasonings, as well as high-performance ready-to-use liquid marinades. For retail consumers, Rose Hill Foods markets its Blenderz line of seasonings, featuring popular flavors such as Cajun, Jerk, and Steak Spice. As the company’s founder also proudly points out, “We are the largest manufacturer of poutine gravy in Canada.” Constantly searching for new flavors, innovative products, and unique formulations, Rose Hill Foods invests heavily in research and development. “We have a research laboratory staffed by 12 people,” says Sarbanis, underscoring the com-

PRE-SHOW REPORT

THE NEXT FRONTIER Pharmaceutical packaging reaches for the next frontier of efficiency through digital connectivity and other technology breakthroughs By Rebecca Marquez

CANADIANPACKAGING · July/August 2026

he pharmaceutical industry is in a period of sustained expansion, projected to continue through 2030. Breakthrough new drugs, such as specialized oncology treatments, and new applications for existing drugs—including GLP-1 for weight management — are leading industry growth. Along with the steady growth, however, pharmaceutical manufacturers are facing a host of challenges, from regulatory burdens to throughput demands. To take advantage of new opportunities, they will need the help of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to overcome these challenges, according to 2026 Trends and Challenges in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, a research study from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Pharmaceutical packaging continues to evolve as technology-focused pack-

aging features gain traction—enhancing customer experiences and connecting manufacturers, care providers and patients through a network of digital data. As digital infrastructure and consumer technological sophistication expand simultaneously, technology-oriented packaging features will play a key role in protecting manufacturers, products, and consumers in the pharmaceutical supply chain. With most manufacturers already using passive monitoring tools such as temperature and humidity indicators, the future of this technology-focused packaging will likely lie in connectivity. From verifying products in the supply chain to monitoring patient compliance and tracking clinical trials, digital connectivity holds enormous promise for all stakeholders, e.g. allowing manufacturers to more carefully control their internal processes, efficiently monitor products in the supply chain, and curate better customer experiences. Due to heightened cybersecurity CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

Blister-packs represent one of the fastestgrowing segments of the pharmaceutical packaging industry due to their light weight, reduced material use, and ease of customization, according to PMMI research.

concerns and regulatory requirements, the pharmaceutical industry’s adoption of remote connectivity features has been slower than in some other manufacturing sectors. But as the technology matures and becomes more standard, and cybersecurity safeguards improve in efficacy and sophistication, remote connectivity is likely to see greater use by pharmaceutical manufacturers, who are prioritizing flexibility, connectivity, and sustainability across packaging formats and machinery investments. Whether a pharmaceutical manufacturer pursues printed augmented reality labels or physical sensors embedded in the packaging, OEMs and suppliers will need to be ready for connectivity features. For example, equipment must be able to handle these additions without damage or interference. Plus, manufacturers may require assistance with designing, testing, and deploying new formats that incorporate technology-focused features. Current technology features on OEM machinery closely align with end-user needs, emphasizing throughput and connectivity. For instance, end-users cite throughput as a top challenge, while OEMs report automation and robotics as their most-offered technology features. With robotics capable of increasing pharmaceutical throughput by 30 to 50 per cent, compared with manual processes, OEMs are already deploying some of the tools that their end-users need. Most OEMs plan to incorporate even more advanced technologies, with the next frontier of pharmaceutical equipment expected to include a lot more data and connectivity features.

CANADIANPACKAGING.COM

Artificial intelligence (AI)-supported features need robust operational data to feed modeling and analytics tools. On the individual machine level, AI-powered machine learning programs will require a steady stream of high-quality data to function optimally. In addition, end-users will need help in building out digital infrastructures and deploying physical data-gathering sensors to bolster data volumes. The OEMs appear to be responding to this need, with nearly half indicating they will be adding more sensors to their machinery. Both the OEMs and suppliers can also provide more specialized services, such as process integration and automation expansion. Strategies such as predictive/preventive maintenance schedules, as well as automation and robotics, often require skills beyond in-house expertise, increasing manufacturers’ reliance on OEM and supplier support to achieve full value. Sustainability has long been a challenge in pharmaceutical packaging, with regulations and product safety typically taking precedence over sustainability goals. However, in recent years, end-users have adopted several strategies to improve packaging sustainability while still addressing regulatory and safety requirements. Since 77 per cent of U.S. pharmaceutical industry leaders expect regulations around sustainability to ramp up in the coming years, making these changes can be viewed not only as a wise decision for today’s business climate, but also as a future-proofing strategy. Still, material and barrier properties remain particularly challenging for manufacturers. Since pharmaceutical

products are often sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, any sustainable material choices must first satisfy the required barrier needs. This often limits the range of materials and formats manufacturers can pursue, making it more challenging to meet sustainability goals. Looking ahead to the next three years, both OEMs and pharmaceutical manufacturers expect pre-filled injectable formats to grow the most, driven by continued expansion in the biologics market. For example, products such as GLP-1 drugs have exploded onto the scene, with 12 per cent of adults reporting prior usage and six per cent currently taking them. Blister-packs are another area of growth, gaining ground due to their lighter weight, reduced material use, and ease of customization to enhance the consumer experience. A superior sustainability profile, improved adherence outcomes, and greater ease of customization are just a few reasons why blister packs-are expected to continue to grow. And with pre-filled formats also predicted to become more popular, OEMs will need to evaluate their machinery portfolios to ensure they can accommodate the increasing demand for both formats. For pharmaceutical professionals searching for the latest technology to boost their operations, the upcoming PACK EXPO International 2026 exhibition (Oct. 18–21, McCormick Place, Chicago) is the place to be.

The convenience upside of downsized packaging /Shannon Kaupp

istributed by Treat Factory LLC, the Artisanal Treats Peanut Butter Bites offer delicious treats for many discerning palettes. These snacks are clearly labeled vegan, gluten- and dairy-free, kosher and with no artificial ingredients. People with dietary restrictions often find it difficult to find yummy snacks if they don’t find them visually appealing, but the packaging of Artisanal Treats stands out proudly on the shelf with its paperbox, with an appetizing image of a multistacked “bite” at the center of starburst-style graphics. Containing all the necessary information about the safety of the contents and the company’s ‘small batch’ craftsmanship, the box projects a happy ‘farmer’s market’ vibe that carries on through to the individually-packed single-serve portions inside, with their solid-color wrappers brimming with the promise of an instant sweet reward.

The demand for non-alcoholic beverages has increased exponentially in recent years, with many younger people searching for flavorful, fun and unique alcohol-free cocktails and beverages. The Virgin Cipriani Bellini has the look and feel of an alcoholic beverage, so that no-one feels that they are missing out. As described by the brand-owner Clearsips, “The Cipriani Alcohol-Free Bellini is a special drink. It has the magical gift of turning a brief moment of pause [into] indelible memory. Each small bottle contains the colors and taste of a moment spent sitting at the counter of Harry’s Bar in Venice.” The special cocktail comes in a 180-ml glass bottle wrapped in a coral-colored plastics with teal labelling. The color of the wrap closely matches the color of the drink but protects it from light exposure. The peach on the front label is see-through so you can verify the bright cheerful liquid inside. The presentation has fun summer vibes and could

either be poured into a flute or enjoyed from the bottle. The top is a classic pryoff bottle cap designed to keep the bubbly freshness inside until opened. Chocolats Favoris is a Quebec-based maker of fine chocolate products founded in 1979. Operating a 42,000-squarefoot factory in Quebec City, the company also runs a networks of storefronts—located primarily across Quebec, with a few locations in Ontario and B.C.—that are a ‘must visit’ for all true chocolate lovers. The stores offer a wide range of chocolate products—from bars and assorted chocolates to chocolate-covered fruits and nuts and fondues—while also operating as traditional ice cream shops, offering customers to dip their ice-cream in fresh real chocolate. The company’s flagship Individual Fondue—made using the finest quality natural ingredients to produce pure, and delicious chocolate, with no added oil—is available in 215- 425gram tins, as well as the adorable 85-gram miniature containers. Packing plenty of fondue dip for a satisfying sweet treat, the red mini tubs closely mimic the standard ice-cream tub shapes, with colorful labeling featuring the same brand design set against different background colors to match the various flavors. labels have a uniform design with a different background color depending on the flavor. These handy containers only need to be

microwaved in 15-second intervals, with a stir in between, and in under a minute or so you have warm dreamy fondue to let you dip or drizzle a warm dreamy fondue in under a minute. These little fondues are so well loved and hand,y that Quebec Astronaut David Saint-Jacques admitted to taking some Classic Dark flavor fondue with him on his mission to the International Space Station. Squeeze tubes on a carabiner are a great packaging companion foe “on-the-go” people, packing hand creams, insect repellents, sanitizers, you name it! The Halifax Honey Company’s carabiner , equipped Stinging Hot Honey squeeze tube, makes the most out of a great packaging idea. Founded in 2016, the company partners with beekeepers harvesting from wildflowers across Nova Scotia to create delicious 100-percent honey smallbatch infusions. Infused with pickled with chilies, Stinging Hot Honey is perfect for dressings, marinades, cocktails or drizzled on a dessert, fruit, oatmeal or yogurt. For anyone flying out of YHZ, these nifty 95-ml tubes are allowed to pass through security, like other small liquids, making for a perfect souvenir.
