Your green labelling partner
Modern labels are a key tool for brand owners to get their messages across to markets and consumers. The modern label takes its cue from heightened public awareness and stricter standards governing the industry and forms part of the global drive towards greener packaging options. Sacmi’s comprehensive range of labelling machines combine unique productivity, ergonomics and modularity by involving every aspect of the beverage production line.
The packaging machine supplier has risen to the challenge of the circular economy by implementing innovation across its entire labeller range. Starting with reduced glue usage, these innovations allow for the use of ever-thinner labels (without compromising performance), thus saving on raw materials and reducing waste.
More specifically, these labellers are designed to allow application of labels made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. Sacmi seized opportunities that stem from the processing of food-grade recycled resins by implementing it on every solution in the portfolio, from closures to preforms and labels.
Key advantages for the customer include the widely acknowledged reliability of solutions. It is critical to remember that thousands of machines and systems have been installed globally by some of the industry’s major players. Thanks to an extensive understanding of plastic materials and processes, Sacmi has drawn on years of research to identify new bio-compatible materials and so ensure, across the standard machine range, that users can process re-use resins.
The range benefits from the group’s unique ability to work alongside customers via its global network at every stage of the order, from initial design to after-sales assistance. Close support from the Sacmi research and development facility lets customers test all solutions prior to full industrialisation (the facility has been quality certified by the industry’s major international players).
