DIRECTORY 2015

Reviewing the Producer Responsibility Initiative Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government. Alan Kelly TD, discusses the review of the producer responsibility initiative for packaging.

I

am delighted to be introducing the Irish Packaging & Print Yearbook and Directory 2015, as this is my first time to do so.

My Department is responsible for the implementation of the EC Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste in Ireland via the European Union (Packaging) Regulations 2014. The purpose of the Regulations is to ensure that packaging is managed in an environmentally friendly manner by minimising the production of packaging waste and ensuring that as much as possible is recovered, recycled and reused. Ireland continues to exceed our EU targets thanks to the help of industry. 2012 was the sixth straight year that Repak has exceeded Ireland’s EU targets, with some 669,000 tonnes of packaging waste recovered.

Review of the Producer Responsibility Initiative Model in Ireland

Alan Kelly TD, Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government.

The final Report of the Review of the Producer Responsibility Initiative (PRI) Model in Ireland was published in July 2014 and contains approximately 175 recommendations across all waste streams.

The overall purpose of this review was to assess the nature and level of the challenges which are currently facing the existing Producer Responsibility Agreements, as well as the forthcoming challenges that are expected to arise in the management of various waste streams. The findings and recommendations from the review will form the basis for the development of robust producer responsibility initiatives that will enable Ireland to operate successfully in meeting our domestic and EU environmental obligations in the medium to long term.

The main conclusion of the PRI

Review report is that the majority of the PRIs have operated very successfully.

However, the report also cites examples of where the PRI model is not delivering the required environmental outcomes. In particular, it describes the waste tyre and ELV sectors as particular areas for concern and requiring immediate action. My Department is currently working with stakeholders in both waste streams to address these issues.

SHARED Responsibility APPROACH Ireland has achieved great success in recent years in recovering and recycling packaging waste. One of the key reasons for success was the shared responsibility approach to the packaging PRI. Repak and its members are largely responsible for the achievement of the national targets. The main recommendations in the Review for the packaging PRI are in the areas of self-compliance and enforcement.

The Report did not recommend the introduction of a packaging levy as it would generate a large number of costs, without resulting in significant environmental benefits or the removal of the ‘De Minimis’ thresholds.

Conclusion I know that, as always, the Irish Packaging & Print Yearbook and Directory continues to be a much sought after reference guide for anyone in the packaging sector and I look forward to reading this year’s edition.

Alan Kelly TD, Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government.

Sector Overview

Bright Future for Print & Packaging Sectors

T

he future for Ireland’s print and packaging sector looks far brighter than it did just a few short years ago. The overall economic recovery has helped, of course, but it is not just that. Irish print and packaging companies have displayed the business skills, innovation and flexibility to thrive in what was a challenging few years and now look set to really reap the rewards.

The Print Sector Ireland’s print industry has been hardpressed in recent years, thanks not just to the economic downturn but also the explosion in online presence and the development of new technology, which has all impacted on the traditional print sector.

“The traditional print media have been challenged and continue to be challenged by the development of web and online, but there are still substantial niches, where Irish companies can excel,” notes Declan Black, Senior Scientific Officer at Enterprise Ireland.

“The print sector has been squeezed on price, but the most successful print companies, who have sustained and grown their presence in the market, have been those who have developed other offers, be they around design services, logistics, IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

Enterprise Ireland’s Susan Byrne, Development Advisor, Print & Packaging, and Declan Black, Senior Scientific Officer, discuss the opportunities that exist for Irish print and packaging companies. translation services, data management, web marketing etc.”

“There certainly has been a lot of consolidation in the market,” admits Susan Byrne, Development Advisor, Print & Packaging, Enterprise Ireland. “From an Enterprise Ireland perspective, we’re trying to get companies to engage in the public procurement agenda.”

Enterprise Ireland’s public procurement team is working across public sector organisations to raise awareness of the innovative capabilities and solutions of Irish small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and how they can deliver value to public sector contracts. The Government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the economy. Public Procurement accounts for 16% of GDP. In turn €8.5 billion is spent on supplies and service.

Initiatives to increase the engagement between public sector bodies and SMEs will focus on the construction, health, justice, education, transport, utilities and

software sectors.

How this operates is a number of companies who operate in different but complementary sectors combine their resources and work together towards a public procurement solution. Susan cites the example of Enterprise Ireland’s work with the State Examinations Commission (SEC): “This was all about bringing companies with different competencies together within the Enterprise Ireland client base,” she notes, “which included print companies, to see if they could come up with a solution for SEC that would meet all their needs, from paper examinations to online exams etc.”

“There is a very tight timescale between the examinations and the results, so the SEC wanted a better quality control system in place,” adds Declan. “A print company alone couldn’t provide this new system, nor could a software company nor a scanning company, but working together

Maximising Contract Opportunities Enterprise Ireland is committed to working with Irish SMEs to facilitate and maximise the contract opportunities available through the public sector. The key focus of the public procurement team is to raise awareness of the innovative solutions provided by indigenous SMEs to the public sector in Ireland, connecting with local subcontractor and sub suppliers in the supply chain to shortlisted bidders in flagship public sector projects through “meet the buyer events” A key goal of Enterprise Ireland is also to encourage indigenous companies to look outwards, beyond our shores, as Susan explains. “Obviously, the domestic market has gone through quite a tough period, where consolidation was probably the key word around the print sector. But those companies who have developed a total solution for their customers, have seen their market share grow by offering a value proposition to their customers.

From an Enterprise Ireland point of view, these improved offerings are transferable off the island. The ability to internationalise is key.”

The pharma and med-tech sectors represent a huge market for Irish packaging companies.

“The current currency rates, with a weakened euro, is giving Irish companies the opportunity to open doors in the UK and the US by offering an extremely competitive price point, and then delivering on service and quality,” Declan maintains.

Another reason for the relative success of Irish packaging is the fact that so many packaging companies service growing sectors, particularly food, pharma and med-tech.

“Eight of the world’s top 10 pharma companies are present in Ireland, thanks to the sterling work of our colleagues

‘

in a cluster approach, they could.”

Susan describes the clustering of resources as “hugely important to the print sector. The companies that we work with recognise that they need to develop their offering: while print is a key part of that, there have to be other facets as well.”

“Traditionally, we have been quite reticent to collaborate, but we are a small island and there are definite opportunities,” adds Declan. “When you see collaboration working, it is very powerful in terms of increasing your offer and attractiveness.”

ı

Ireland’s packaging sector has fared much better than many traditional industrial sectors, even during the economic downturn of the last few years.

Packaging & Labelling The packaging and labelling sector hasn’t been immune to the recession, but according to Susan, it has “fared much better than the print sector and other traditional industrial sectors”. While admitting that Irish packaging companies have had to adjust their cost base in recent years, Declan feels that “the worst of that is probably over at this stage”. Allied to the fact that there is more price stability in the paper market than there was a few years ago, and the strong performance of Sterling and the US Dollar against the euro, and the immediate future looks bright for Irish packaging companies, particularly in terms of exports.

in the IDA,” Susan states, “and a lot of indigenous Irish pharma companies have sprung up alongside them, created and staffed by Irish graduates, who are looking to source packaging solutions here in Ireland.”

Indeed, the Irish pharmaceutical industry is in growth again, following a few years of uncertainty when many blockbuster drugs came off patent.

“A lot of the pharma plants have adapted to become smaller, more flexible plants,” Declan notes. “But the pharma industry is on the way up again: the product mix is changing and we are seeing more investment in the sector.”

This is good news for packaging companies, with developments in security and anti-counterfeiting packaging and printing technologies to the forefront.

As part of the Government Action Plan for Jobs 2015, Enterprise Ireland and the IDA are now working together to roll out a strategy for an increase in the level of engagement between global companies based in Ireland and indigenous Irish companies. The goal of this IDA and Enterprise Ireland initiative is to deepen the penetration by Irish companies of the multinational sector in Ireland – sales, technology partnerships, investment or other collaborative engagements.

“We’d love to get the various pharma procurement teams to sit down with Irish sub-supply companies in a one-day event, to explain their needs and how Irish companies can meet those needs,” Declan enthuses. “We’d love to open those doors.”

Innovation Innovation remains key to growth across the packaging sector, with Irish companies at the forefront of R&D, developing new packaging solutions which fuel growth, from tamper-evident packaging for the medical/pharma sector to folding rigid packaging, which can be flat-packed when not in use.

Light-weighting of packaging remains key within the food sector in particular, according to Declan, providing rigidity and barrier properties can be maintained.

Recent years saw many industry commentators predicting a rise in smart packaging, including packagIRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

ing that changes colour when the food contained within passes its use by date.

This hasn’t proved hugely successful, however, as Declan explains: “In France, Carrefour carried out a number of trials with shelf-ready packaging that had the colour change feature and they found that perfectly good food products were being avoided because there was a marginal change in the colour, so it was producing more waste in the food chain.”

Smart packaging solutions are being used throughout the supply chain, however, primarily at batch level, to ensure, for example, that product temperature has been maintained throughout the delivery process from plant to store. For example, Marks & Spencer use RFID at item level in the UK and are considering implementing it here in Ireland. However, one of the criticisms of RFID over the years has been the high cost, which continues to be prohibitive for the food sector. “It is being used at batch level or maybe for high value items but it is still probably too costly for widespread use,” admits Declan.

The Wow Factor When asked if any Irish print or packaging product has really displayed the ‘wow’ factor in the last year, both Susan and Declan are agreed that the new Irish passport, delivered by DLRS Smurfit Kappa, is nothing short of ground-breaking.

“It is an amazing piece of print, with an incredible array of secure features, which makes it a really impressive innovation,” Susan enthuses.

The passport book was designed and produced in Ireland by a consortium led

by DLRS of Bray, HID Ireland of Baile na hAbhainn, Absolute Graphics of Bray, and the Central Bank on foot of a competitive tender process. It won the Regional ID Document of the Year 2014 Award at last year’s High Security Printing Conference in Milan.

“From a pure design perspective, it’s a fantastic piece of work,” agrees Declan. “From a technical perspective, there are significant security features built into it. DLRS Smurfit Kappa have changed from a traditional printer into a very advanced space and are now looking at the international passport market, including

elements like the inclusion of chip & pin technology, biometric data etc. in passports and other security documents like drivers’ licences, national security cards etc.”

Sustainability No discussion of the packaging sector would be complete without mentioning the sustainability agenda. Indeed, sustainability remains a key driver of change within packaging.

“Within the food sector, the multiple retailers are driving the sustainability agenda with areas like flexible packaging,” Susan notes.

In the UK, a new recycling directive has come into force, with a host of best practice guidelines and recycling targets in place for 2017. A number of stakeholders and policy makers are reviewing the UK legislation to see if a similar system would work here.

“One of the problems in Ireland is that volumes are relatively small and outside the main urban centres, the cost of gathering recycling can be prohibitive,” Declan warns.

He does point out certain areas where recycling can work extremely well, such as PET milk cartons, which can be gathered, washed, pelletised and re-used.

The Future The future for both print and packaging is a lot brighter than it was perhaps just a few years ago, with both Susan and Declan optimistic that Irish companies can really compete internationally.

Susan points out that some Irish companies have been bought over by international outfits in recent years (“not just vulnerable companies, but well-established firms that are performing well”) as these international players seek a footprint in Europe and view Ireland as a good place to do business.

Similarly, a number of Irish labelling companies have successfully entered markets right across Europe, including Eastern Europe, with specialist, niche products, and have done well.

“Ireland is a small market, internationally speaking, and there are a lot of opportunities off the island, providing the logistics costs can be kept low,” Declan advises.

“There are definite signs of growth on the island and in the UK market, in particular. In Europe, things are starting to improve and there is much more stability for companies.

The uncertainty is beginning to lessen.”

Susan’s advice is very succinct: “If you are a manufacturing print or packaging company, employing more than 10, with an export agenda, come and talk to us.”

The new Irish passport, delivered by DLRS Smurfit Kappa, is nothing short of ground-breaking.

PACKAGING DESIGN

How Design T Can Make or Break Your Brand Whether you’re developing a new brand for launch to market or rebranding an existing one, the right packaging design can give your brand the edge, writes Lorraine Carter, Persona Branding & Design.

IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

oday’s retail environment is a highly competitive place. Recent data reveals that 70% of purchase decisions are made in store, while 10% of shoppers switch brand inside a store.

The most effective and profitable brands are those that stand out distinctively, and packaging design is a critical element for effective brand stand-out.

In fact, research shows that you have less than nine seconds to engage your customer and close the sale!

Whether you’re developing a new brand for launch to market or rebranding an existing one, the right packaging design can give your brand crucial visibility, helping your products stand out on retail shelves in markets where there is more competition than ever before, and attract more customers who will buy and remain loyal to your brand.

Make no mistake, great packaging design is a critical part of any successful brand strategy if you want to grow your business and increase your profitability.

Powerful Impact Successful packaging is a combination of powerful shelf impact and a strong visual aesthetic. The best packaging engages customers at a multi-sensory level that includes a visual and tactile experience of your brand, which communicates your brand promise and evokes an emotional response, coupled with other triggers,

PACKAGING DESIGN

such as additional sensory memorability through its feel, sound, or sometimes even smell and taste.

Effective packaging design should deliver the following: • An immediate sense of your brand story, promise and values; • Trigger a positive emotional response in your primary customer through the expression of your brand’s personality in the design created (e.g. simplicity, elegance, a sense of fun, or whatever sensory experience your brand represents); • Your brand’s primary characterisations whether your products offer luxury, security, environmental awareness, corporate social responsibility, reliability, tradition, or pure indulgent pleasure etc.; • Impactful brand differentiation that separates your products from competitors on retail shelves or displays, coupled with strong brand design hooks that attract your core target audience.

Here are our Top 16 Brand Packaging Design Tips to Help You Ensure Your Brand is Successful

1. Treat your brand packaging design as an investment Many brands fail to ascribe enough signif-

icance to their packaging design, and this is a mistake that will ultimately undermine your brand and compromise your profitability in multiple ways. An investment in high quality package design signifies to customers that your brand has value.

When you increase the perceived value of your brand through distinctive, creative, carefully evaluated and well-executed packaging design, you’re able to compete with other products in your range and charge a premium price.

2. Packaging Packed with Brand Personality Zig when others zag! If you do things differently and develop a really compelling personality for your brand, using a system like our Personality Profile Performer, and then bring it to life visually through all your brand collateral, in this case your brand packaging, it can have massive shelf impact.

Assuming you’ve thoroughly developed your brand’s personality and what it stands for etc., you should pick out key characteristics of your brand’s character, tone of voice, story, humour, language and leverage them to maximum effect in your packaging design in a way that’s relevant to your primary customer. It’s these kinds of details that capture attention, create distinction, engender engagement and provoke emotional engagement, all of which helps build a long term loyal and profitable customer base.

ı9

Fundamentally, people buy with emotion and justify with rational thinking, regardless of gender, age or cultural background. You must engage your customers positively and emotionally if you want to avoid being caught up in price wars and retail dog fights!

3. Study the Competition While it’s definitely important for your packaging to stand apart, you also need to consider the known ‘lingo’ of product category packaging: the aspects that signify what the product is, in a way your customers are already familiar with. Look to other successful brands in your space and consider what their package design has in common. This does not necessarily refer just to packaging colours, but also the physical or structural design, materials used, on-pack messaging and so forth.

Your packaging must be distinctively different but your customers must still be able to relate to it in a way that’s relevant to them and their needs within that product category. A confused customer doesn’t buy!

4. Opt for Clarity and Simplicity The most successful brand packaging is iconic and easily recognisable, and when it comes to package design, often less is more. Your product packaging should convey your brand at a glance, and instantly tell the customer what your product is for. Developing a clear and

PACKAGING DESIGN

uncluttered package design, with well developed information hierarchy, will go a long way towards giving your brand increased visibility on busy store shelves.

5. Keep it Honest Packaging design should make your product look attractive, but not at the expense of honesty. A misleading package design that promises something not contained in the package will damage your reputation and your brand: for example, depicting a chocolate-drenched dessert on a tin of simple chocolate-flavoured biscuits is not an accurate representation of the product inside!

6. Be Authentic Authenticity can be a difficult characteristic to define, but your customers know it when they see it and it has become an increasingly important factor amongst consumers. Strive to develop packaging that is authentic to your brand’s values, promise, story, alignments, platforms, and positioning statements etc. A sense of character and originality infused with your pack design can help you build a memorable brand that engages customers, while also enhancing brand perceptions in terms of being seen as a brand that is real and authentic – true to its purpose.

7. Differentiate Visually A twist on the standard design styles for your product categories can help your brand enjoy increased visibility, allowing

you to stand out from a sea of similar products. For instance, if most of your competitors use a horizontal layout, design along the vertical in your packaging. If the majority of similar items feature product photography, consider typebased designs, icons, or illustrations.

The choice of signature brand colours is another great way to differentiate. One striking example is Rachel’s Organic products, which use primarily black packaging for products such as butter and yogurt to jump out on retail shelves or O’Egg, which uses bright pink as its signature colour in its white egg packaging.

8. Pay Attention to On-Pack Messaging and Typography The words used on your package design matter: not just what they are, but how they look and what they say, the style and tone of language used and the brand story conveyed. Stunning typography is an eye-catching differentiator for your packaging. Choose distinctive, premium fonts with high readability, and pay attention to spacing (kerning), the size of the text, and the colour in comparison to the rest of the package design.

Dutch private label brand HEMA is a striking example of the effect of great typography. The company’s line of ready-to-eat lunch items features a chalkboard-style design label with a very distinctive font, and simple colour bands that help to quickly categorize items in a visual nature.

9. Embrace Green With more customers increasingly conscious of environmental issues, investing in eco-friendly, sustainable packaging design is a smart move for any brand, not to mention helping improve your brand’s carbon footprint. Whether the packaging is limited to reduce the amount of waste, or made from recycled, biodegradable, or reusable materials, going green with your packaging can make your products more attractive and premium to customers.

Sustainability is an increasingly important issue to consumers and ‘responsible’ or ‘caring’ brands are seen to be more desirable.

10. Design for Durability Depending on the supply chain process and the shelf life of your products, your packaging may require extended durability. Long-lasting packaging is especially important for slower moving, high value, consumer goods, but FMCG products will also require a high degree of durability. The average retail store, particularly supermarkets and discounters, are demanding environments, requiring robust packaging. Damaged packaging at the point of sale or post-sale can have a very negative effect on your brand, as customers will view it as ‘cheap’ or substandard quality.

11. Production and Manufacturing Constraints It’s important to consider production line requirements: how your product will fill the packaging. Is it hand packed or on an automated production line? What are the specific packing needs of both those environments?

When designing a pack, it’s also really important to take into account the final appearance of the product inside the package, to ensure an attractive overall presentation. Make sure the packaging is not too loose or too tight, and that it displays the product in an appealing way and that the colours or textures etc. of the actual product are enhanced through the design of your packaging.

If something tastes incredible but visually doesn’t look too appealing, then maybe you should not make it visible within your packaging design. On the other hand, if yours is the kind of product that visually sells very well, particularly when enhanced with great packaging,

PACKAGING DESIGN

like a lot of bakery goods or confectionery, or consumers really need to see it to make their purchasing decision, such as with certain perishables like meat, fish or vegetables, then you need to take this into account within your packaging design. If consumers need to see what’s inside and you don’t provide a way for them to view the contents, they will open and pull your packaging apart to take a look, meaning that you will end up with a lot of damaged goods and returns.

12. Choose an Unusual Shape Package design with an unusual shape can be a very challenging process, but very worthwhile for the right idea. A uniquely shaped package truly stands out on retail shelves and can become a trademark protectable and uniquely valuable asset of your brand. Other important design choices here include display considerations, such as allowing the package to stand or stack on shelves appropriately too. It also can’t be too tall to fit on the average retail shelf of the relevant store your product sells in, like a supermarket, hardware or children’s toy store. Make sure you know the maximum shelf height of all your retailers and then ensure your pack is slightly under that for a sure fit.

Gloji uses a unique package design to fantastic effect with its light bulbshaped juice bottles, which are meant to represent the healthy properties of the beverage that ‘light you up’ from the inside. It makes the brand very memorable and distinctive, when compared to its competitors.

13. Think Beyond the Shelf Your package design should continue to work effectively, even after purchase. A package that’s too difficult to open will turn off customers, making them less likely to make a repeat purchase or stay loyal to your brand. Another consideration is product use. If all of the product won’t be used immediately, you’ll need a way for customers to reclose the package and store unused contents or portions. It also needs to look attractive in the home or out of the retail environment so it continues to sell itself and reaffirm important, asset building brand values.

14. Special Materials Giving your package design a luxurious detail or two can help your brand stand out. Consider invoking the customer’s sense of touch through materials like

velvet, wood veneer, or higher quality paper. Details with embossing, wax seals, hot foil stamping, and letterpress seals can also add a premium touch to your pack design.

15. The Personal Touch Handmade, hand-crafted, or otherwise personal details can deliver a stand-out appearance to your brand packaging.

Details that appear handwritten, handcrafted, hand-tied, or individually applied can add to a really premium sense of personalisation for your products. You can even create an overall handmade look for your products with creative use of production techniques.

16. Focus on Shelf Impact Shelf impact is a retail term that describes the way a product actually looks on store shelves, whether it blends in or stands out. Even the most unique and distinctive package designs may not be effective if they don’t have shelf impact. This is a really important aspect of your packaging design to test before launching a new product or package redesign.

Physically arrange your products on shelves, next to competitors’ items in the same product category, just as they would appear in stores. The more distinctive your product appears from

ı

11

the surrounding items, the better it will sell. Achieving shelf impact can take some experimentation, but it’s critically important and worth all the effort.

In fact, you may be surprised to find that often overly elaborate designs tend to vanish or blend in on shelves, while less cluttered designs ‘pop’ and stand out in amongst the visual barrage. Consumers are overloaded with information from the moment they wake: successful brands simplify things for them, remove problems, enhance people’s lives and make the decision-making process easier. You need to ensure your brand exceeds on all those fronts to be more successful.

Effective package design that reflects your brand story and conveys your brand promise and values can help you strengthen your brand, increase customer loyalty, and grow your bottom line.

You should place as much emphasis and care on your packaging design as you do on your products themselves to ensure a consistent and memorable brand experience for your customers and most importantly, so you can increase your profitability.

25 Years A Growing DonPack was founded by Ray Donoghue in 1990, with just one major multinational customer, Apple Computers in Cork. At that time, it manufactured a niche packaging product, a large corrugated case with internal foam (Instapac) to protect Apple’s first computer manufactured in Ireland, the Apple iMac. As volumes grew rapidly for Apple, so did DonPack’s business and customers.

By 1995, it was working and supplying bespoke packaging products to over 20 global multinational companies in the biotech, electronic, pharmaceutical and food industries, including household names

like Pfizer, Heineken, Schlumberger, EMC, SmithKline Beecham, Schering Plough and Dell.

The company quickly built up a reputation for being able to deliver within these industries. “By 1998, we were doing well enough to build our own manufacturing facility at Bandon in Cork. Since then, we have expanded to over 85,000 square feet and invested over €8m in equipment,” Ray recalls.

Today, DonPack supplies its blue chip multinational customers worldwide, in Europe, Asia, Pacific and North America with its global strategic partner, Rand-Whitney, one of the largest suppliers of paperboard products in North America. It has maintained its relationship with Apple over its quarter of a century in business, while also adding other global giants, like EMC, Dell, Honeywell, Pfizer and Novartis.

“Over the last 25 years, our continuous investment in world class manufacturing and management practice has enabled DonPack to grow by meeting and exceeding our customers’ needs and requirements,” concludes Ray Donoghue.

Aluminium Foil

Foiled Again!

The Alufoil Trophy 2015 produced an outstanding selection of winners, with aluminium foil and closure concepts for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical sectors.

Top: Alufoil Troiphy 2015 Winners Right: The Ampac Flexibles Marinade Pouch is an innovative, 3-sided seal pouch, with a special zipper solution, designed for consumers who like fresh meat marinated in an organic marinade.

ompanies from every part of the aluminium foil industry have embraced the opportunity presented by the Alufoil Trophy 2015. Indeed, given the diversity of the 57 entries, covering a wide range of products across all the entry categories, the judges had a demanding task but finally selected 12 worthy winners.

Consumer Convenience The winners in this category helped to formulate simple solutions to a common problem in a sophisticated pack, making a potentially messy job easier, and demonstrating just how convenient aluminium foil can be.

For simplicity, the recloseable aluminium foil bag from Di Mauro Flexible Packaging solves the problem of leaks or spills of frozen food from multi-portion bags, while being quick and easy to open and reclose when required. The TwistPack, developed for a major frozen food brand owner for products such as 1kg of vegetables, takes advantage of the dead fold properties of aluminium foil, once twisted. Benefits for the consumer are that they can use, then easily reclose the bags as many times as they want and do not have to look for other closing devices.

Cleaning up a messy job in some style, the Ampac Flexibles Marinade Pouch, made for client JANS, is an innovative, three-sided seal pouch, with a special zipper solution, designed for consumers who like fresh meat marinated in an organic marinade. Up to 1kg of fresh meat is placed into the marinade pouch, which contains 200ml of sauce, to marinate within 30 minutes. The pouch combines a three-layer laminate with aluminium foil in the middle, backed by a high barrier transparent material. The product has a

Aluminium Foil

shelf life of 12 months and is not subject to cold chain requirements.

Marketing & Design Opening up new markets or expanding and enhancing existing ones is a key element of this category. The three winners ably demonstrate how aluminium foil can succeed in both.

Ampac Flexibles’ Pull Tab T-Shirt pouch for beverages combines innovative packaging with technology to enhance brand marketing, allowing food manufacturers to deliver products in a very attractive, T-Shirt shape pouch. The shape is perfect as a football club or sports club drink container and can be custom-printed to match the colours of the team in up to 10 colours. The high barrier stand-up pouch also provides hygienic protection of the straw hole with a tear away, customised Ampac Pull Tab label, so is ideal for a sporting environment.

A complete makeover for Diageo’s new Tanqueray No. Ten bottle features a stunning aluminium closure designed and made by Guala Closures. The closure is perfectly integrated, both to support the premium positioning and enhance the design. It is a perfect example of what aluminium can achieve as both a practical item and as a part of a total marketing concept. The closure, made with

kind applied in moulding technology for aluminium containers, say the companies.

The trays come in three sizes 35, 45 and 55cm in gauges 105µm to 160µm.

Product Protection Aluminium foil has a five star reputation for product protection. This winner shows the material can work well to make a highly innovative medical device even better.

A new respiratory inhaler from Sandoz International, for people suffering with asthma/COPD, uses a specially designed alufoil blister strip developed by Amcor Flexibles, to ensure a longer shelf life of the powder in the AirFluSal Forspiro device. The strip protects the inhalation powder from moisture ingress and also improves performance during transportation and release of the powder from the cavity. The protection of the active ingredient, a hygroscopic powder, is entirely due to the innovative use of the alufoil blister strip.

Constantia Haendler & Natermann has created a remarkably thin neck foil label for Chang Beer, which offers material savings and downstream advantages during the recycling/reuse process.

Resource Efficiency Making the most out of the material, whatever the use, is now top of every packaging agenda. The winners in resource efficiency show aluminium foil to its best advantage for very diverse purposes.

Canseal Pro, a direct-seal aluminium membrane for can ends, from Amcor Flexibles, eliminates the need for an additional metal ring and so reduces total packaging material and cost. The coextruded sealing structure of Canseal Pro, made specifically for a newly developed

Constantia Flexibles has developed a 5µm aluminium converter foil, specifically designed for pouch and confectionery laminates.

direct sealing technology, offers excellent seal integrity, easy peelability and efficient processability. One thousand conventional steel EOE lids, for a typical 73mm diameter can, weigh around eight times more than the equivalent Canseal Pro lids, says Amcor.

Constantia Haendler & Natermann has created a remarkably thin neck foil label for Chang Beer, which uses an 8.8µm, soft tampered, aluminium foil alloy. This not only offers material savings, but also downstream advantages during the recycling/reuse process. In addition to material savings of 8%, the new neck foil has a positive impact on wastewater used during the returned bottle cleaning process. The thinner foil completely dissolves in the caustic bath, extending the caustic wash efficiency by up to 10%, leading to lower emissions of hydrocarbon and thus less heat dissipation from the washer, says the company.

Technical Innovation A trio of technical innovation winners show that aluminium foil can rise to very different technical challenges and adapt successfully with other technological developments.

Constantia Flexibles has developed a 5µm aluminium converter foil, specifically designed for pouch and confectionery laminates. Improved process parameters allow the thinner foil to be processed on a high performance laminator. The new thickness has been achieved thanks to advances in rolling mill technologies which have enabled enhanced parameters in each of the steps: rolling, doubling, separating and annealing, to obtain the thinning to below 5µm, compared with the current standard of 6 - 7µm. Envisaged applications include the wrapping of chocolate, confectionery bars and the inner wrappers for gum, where a typical lamination would be Alu/wax or adhesive/paper.

For the wine sector, Stelvin Inside is a new range of aluminium closures and liners from Amcor Flexibles, which can double wine maker’s Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) choices, giving them more tools to help craft and perfect their wine.

The four new liners each have a different OTR target, which, through technical developments in combination with other materials that make up the liner, ensures a controlled level of oxygen dispersion.

Two of the four new liners also contain layers of aluminium foil. The films used in the liners are produced by Amcor, are

PVDCFree and offer OTRs between 1O2 and 7O2.

Also in the wine sector, but addressing a very different issue Guala Closures has launched a range of customised aluminium closures. Prior to their introduction, smaller wineries had to use standard ranges and colours for their closures, because of minimum order numbers required for bespoke printing, usually as high as 50,000 pieces.

Guala Closures Design Studio (GCDS) technologies offer wineries in-house artwork creation and on-site production to any size of order for Guala’s patented screwcaps. The facility boasts state-ofthe-art, fast output printing techniques, combining digital printing, embossing and plasma technologies to allow the application of colour, logos and artwork.

Cross-Category Award The winner of the Cross-Category Award can claim to have used aluminium foil to the highest standards and achieved a result which works at every level of performance.

A project led by Bayer Health Care, with the support of design company Berndt+Partner Creality, has created the first shaped pouch for packing a solid form tablet. The Aspirin Next Generation has a new formulation which is more moisture

sensitive, so packing it in aluminium foil was essential, according to Bayer.

Working with converter Constantia Flexibles and machinery supplier Romaco Pharmatechnik, the group has created a shamrock shaped pouch pack, containing four single tablets. By using a paper-aluminium laminate, the pouches can be opened easily and individual tablets can be separated and taken for ‘on the go’ occasions, meeting contemporary consumer needs.

CARTONBOARD

Cartons of the Future Jennifer Buhaenko, Pro Carton, Association of European Cartonboard and Carton Manufacturers, reports on the Carton of the Year award winners and highlights the sustainability of cartonboard as a packaging material.

A

t a glittering award ceremony in Sorrento, Italy, in September 2014, the Pro Carton ECMA Award competition celebrated its continuing popularity. A record number of companies from across the supply chain participated in 2014 and with 120 entries, it was the second highest number of entries in the 18-year history of the competition.

The expertise of the judges, covering all aspects of the supply chain, provides a solid foundation for the Awards: Satkar Gidda (Chairman of the judging panel) was the design expert, Stan Akkermans (Mars) and Martin Luh (Nestlé) represented the brands, and Marco Atzberger (EHI Retail Institute) supplied a perspective from the retailers.

The judges were pleased to see that the entrants had responded to the challenge of providing coherent overall concepts combining products, packaging and marketing.

New approaches were also apparent in terms of handling solutions as more and more packaging is being filled in-store. The Chairman particularly noted the level of attention to detail: the fact that the carton inners are now rightly considered as part of the design communication, and that die cutting now adds to the brand character and the in-hand feel for the consumer – all of which adds to and aids brand communication.

Carton of the Year: Fernanda Brandao eau de parfum won praise for the superb print quality of the carton and the clever use of holographics.

The stars of the awards ceremony were the highly sought-after special awards. The coveted Carton of the Year was awarded to a pack which blended content and packaging perfectly and communicated the product promise brilliantly: Fernanda Brandao eau de parfum. The carton converter’s task was as simple as it was difficult: the carton was to reflect the shape of the perfume bottle and provide maximum focus and dynamics, using the same prism shape, corners and angles. The resulting carton exceeded expectations, with the shape reminiscent of an uncut

amethyst. The judges praised the superb print quality of the carton and the clever use of holographics. The special asymmetric design allows for flat delivery and automatic erecting and filling of the carton and the detailed fit of the carton with the bottle provides optimal product protection.

The Most Innovative Design or New Use of Cartonboard prize was given to the Artelac Splash Dispenser/Display.

Hydrating eye drops are susceptible to dust and UV light, so the carton’s task was to be self-closing after removal of one of the capsules, in order to protect the rest

of the contents. The solution was a unique dispensing carton in a tapered form with self-closing drawers. The judges were impressed by this cleverly designed carton, which looked deceptively simple from the outside but included a unique innovation which they had not seen before in this sector. This also won the Pharmaceutical Award.

Sustainability Award Confiserie Reber won the Sustainability Award for their Advent Calendar with Innovative Carton Inlay. The original challenge had been to replace the styrofoam used in the positioning trays of the advent calendars, with cartonboard.

Confiserie Reber won the Sustainability Award for their Advent Calendar with Innovative Carton Inlay.

Substituting the plastic was easily achieved, but other advances were also incorporated: the backing in the slots where the sweets were placed used spirally cut cartonboard to hold the sweet firmly in position and then after removal of the sweet, the section popped up so that the overall look of the box was not compromised.

Easy handling, the use of the “Twister” coiling technique and optimal protection of the contents was all achieved through using cartonboard, which resulted in a single material product which would be easy to recycle after use.

Jim Beam Honey Promotional Packaging was the winner of the Beverages award.

that the carton achieved a clearly defined brand message and styling, with elegance and sophistication. The bottle is wrapped in a pleated bag and the top of the bottle is designed as pleats. This is reflected in the carton, which has intricate embossing of pleats and also gives the feel of pleats in-hand. The application of multi-level embossing and a matt lacquer requires considerable technical precision.

The winner of the Beverages award was Jim Beam Honey Promotional Packaging.

The characteristic shape of the honeycomb inspired the carton’s design and reflected its contents: a bottle of whisky with honey.

The clever application of bold colour and varnish made the structure of the honeycomb visible and gave a pleasing tactile feel. The honeycomb design also facilitated the incorporation of windows, allowing for the exclusive product to be seen.

The packaging concept Multiflex, a cartonboard packaging system for

attractively presenting chocolate, biscuits or confectionery in separate compartments, won the Confectionery award. It is a sustainable and innovative solution which dispenses with plastic and provides an attractive, natural appearance to complement the chocolates. Designed to be used in stores where the consumer selects their own choice of chocolates, it is made up of different sizes and shapes of cartons and inserts that are designed to hold the chocolates securely.

Shelf Ready & Display Packaging A display strip, Peppersmith Clipstrip, won the Shelf Ready & Display Packaging category. Peppersmith makes premium mints and in such an impulse-led category, it is imperative to provide perfect placement of the product. A bespoke display concept made of cartonboard was able to meet the requirements: designed to hold

The winner of the Food category was Gelato Box, a carton for packing ice cream snacks. The packaging perfectly presents the products: the opening and closing system is easy to use and when opened, the carton spreads out and so remains useful right to the end, when it is opened on the table. The original idea of presenting the products in a wicker basket has been successfully transferred to cartonboard, as the basket shape is kept and the wicker structure represented by micro cutting and a lasered surface.

CARTONBOARD

Pro Carton has produced a series of eye-catching Infographics to tell the story of carton’s sustainability.

Cartons and Sustainability S

ustainability plays an increasingly important role in the design of packaging. Consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental effects of the packed products when they make their shopping choices. Cartonboard packaging in Europe has a good story to tell on sustainability, and in order to illustrate this, Pro Carton has produced a series of eye-catching Infographics. Six environmental topics are addressed: ‘The Carbon Cycle’ describes the role of cartonboard’s raw material - wood fibres from sustainable European forests – in the environment’s carbon cycle. Growing forests that are sustainably managed are effective carbon stores. This carbon is ‘locked’ within the tree and the products, which are subsequently made from wood fibre. Recycling extends this even further.

At the end of the cartons’ useful life, when carbon is released, it can be absorbed and stored in sustainably managed forests.

‘Forests and Cartonboard’ highlights

IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

facts about the European forests which are the original resource for the cartonboard packaging industry. They are a sustainable, renewable resource and the forested area in Europe is increasing. They have grown by over 30% since 1950.

‘Carbon Footprint – fossil and biogenic carbon’ shows the average fossil carbon footprint of the European cartonboard and carton industries: currently 915 kg CO2eq / tonne cartonboard produced and converted. This figure has been improving over time and shows that cartonboard packaging’s environmental performance continues to be among the best of all packaging materials. Alongside this, a study of biogenic carbon in cartons shows a significant amount is ‘locked up’ away from the environment, in the carton’s raw material – wood fibre.

‘Leaders in Renewable Energy’ – the use of wood as a raw material by paper based industries, including cartonboard, has given them a unique advantage: the

wood by-products can provide bio-energy for the manufacturing process. This use of biomass for primary energy has made the pulp and paper based industries leaders in renewable energy in Europe.

‘Use of Water’ shows that water is an essential element for paper and board production, but although a primary ingredient, only a small part of this water is ‘consumed’: 92% of water used is returned to the environment.

‘Recovery and Recycling’ illustrates that around 50% of the fibre used to make cartonboard in Europe comes from used paper and board, through recovery and recycling of household and industrial collections. Thanks to well established systems, paper and board, including cartons, is the most recycled packaging type in Europe.

Service That’s Second To None

Limerick Packaging have built up an enviable customer base, thanks to the quality of their product range and their ability to deliver “on time, every time”.

W

hen professionals speak of marketing, they talk about the four ‘P’s: Product, Price, Promotion and Place. When real estate agents discuss houses, they speak of ‘Location, Location, Location’.

Similarly, the new way to consider packaging and to select a packaging supplier is based on ‘Service, Service, Service’.

This is evident from the unique selling proposition of Limerick Packaging, a nationwide supplier of corrugated boxes in all formats, along with protective foam packs, industrial polythene bags, sleeves, sheets, pallet edgeguards, pallet stretchwrap, strapping, accessories and tapes.

Corrugated Packaging When it comes to corrugated packaging, Limerick Packaging stock conventional corrugated boxes printed up to four colours, but they specialise in high-quality printed shelf-ready boxes specifically designed to double as a transit pack, as well as the shelfready display pack for supermarkets. Printing can be in Litho print, up to eight colours, high quality post-print flexo up to six colours and the litho printed sheet can be laminated onto corrugated board and then converted into a super-strong IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

shipping case, because it has the added strength of the corrugated board.

Limerick Packaging are delighted to count some of the biggest names in the food industry from Ireland and Northern Ireland among their customers, while the company is also a specialist packaging supplier to the medical and pharmaceutical industry.

It is no surprise that Limerick Packaging has excelled in serving both the food and pharma sectors, as their factory on the Ballysimon Road in Limerick City is maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness. Indeed, it is racked, barcoded and incredibly well organised, down to the point that the barcode system will only allow shipment on the basis of FIFO (First In, First Out).

On Time, Every Time The company’s motto is “On Time, Every Time”, a boast that Sales Director, Mike Boland is extremely proud of, particularly given the nature of the business. “We spend a lot of time and effort getting to know and understand our customers’ usage patterns,” Mike explains. “We then order in packaging materials in advance of that requirement, based on a Purchase Order from our customer, and once the material is in stock, we guarantee next day delivery, provided we receive a call-off by noon the previous day. We also communicate regularly with our custom-

PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

ers in regard to the stocks we hold, what Purchase Orders we need for replenishment and what spikes or dips in demand our customer can see on the horizon. You could say we act as another department of our customer’s company.”

The Sales Director describes delivery on time, every time as their “over-riding goal”. It also makes superb business sense, however, as Limerick Packaging have enjoyed hugely impressive growth rates, far beyond the company’s initial expectations.

“When we started out, we believed we would develop to about 70 customers, who we would spoil with service like they had never seen before,” Mike admits.

“We reached that number very quickly and raced on to the point where we now have in excess of 350 customers who we continue to spoil. Along the way, we achieved ISO9001:2008 certification and all our production units are certified to both ISO9001:2008 and BRC/IOP.”

Experienced Management Team The company is about to celebrate its 13th birthday, but its management team have in excess of 120 years’ combined experience at the coal-face of the packaging sector.

“Within that group, we have two Packaging Technologists, Connie Ryan our Managing Director and Mark Tierney our Quality Manager,” Mike notes. “These have proven to be a major asset to us and our customers as their packaging auditing skills and value engineering skills have meant fast, accurate problem solving and many cost saving initiatives, which is also another important string to our bow.”

Mike is very keen to point out that Limerick Packaging doesn’t just supply packaging materials. They are packaging designers who can bring a project from inception all the way through to the supply of the boxes, foam packs, or bags, including print reproduction, and whatever tooling is required. They will also audit existing packaging, if required, suggest alternatives that will bring cost savings, provide prototypes and run trials.

“As you can see from our product range and our way of operation, we are trying all the time to make it as easy as possible for our customers to deal with us,” Mike summarises. “One phone call per day to call-off product and it’s done. There’s no need to chase us for delivery: it just happens.”

Downtime because of poor delivery performance by a packaging supplier can cost thousands of euros for each hour that a factory is down, but with Limerick Packaging that is not a risk.

“Why take that chance?” the Sales Director asks. “Instead, place your trust in Limerick Packaging and we’ll reward that trust with products to the highest possible quality delivered ‘On Time, Every Time’.”

Limerick Packaging certainly deliver on Service, Service, Service or as Mike puts it, “a nice easy life for our customers.”

Handling Ireland the ideal partner for your business, whatever it is.

“What we pride ourselves on, first and foremost, is our wonderful products,” states Terry O’Reilly, Managing Director of Toyota Material Handling Ireland, who has worked with Toyota Ireland for the past 34 years.

Toyota Traigo Electric Forklifts Toyota Material Handling Ireland has recently completed the launch of the brand new Toyota Traigo series of electric forklifts, a truck designed to deliver more productivity and offering safer and more energy-efficient operation than ever before.

With load capacities ranging from 1.0 tonnes up to 8.5 tonnes, the Traigo range is the result of an intense and continuous

collaboration between Toyota and its customers, whose feedback contributed to the parameters of the new design. The Traigo features a range of qualities to optimise driver comfort and increase performance, both indoors and outdoors.

New Food Laws to Impact on THE Packaging Sector?

Ita White, Food Industry Development, Teagasc, discusses the forthcoming update to the official feed and food control regulation and what it could mean for packaging suppliers to the food industry.

T

he official feed and food control regulation (OFFCR) 1 deals with how official controls are performed to check for compliance with feed and food law, and animal health and welfare rules. The main aim is to: • Prevent, eliminate or reduce risks to

humans and animals; • Guarantee fair practices in feed and

food trade; • Protect consumer interests.

These checks are performed by regulatory officials such as environmental health officers (EHO) or veterinary officials from Local Authorities or the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).

While you will not find a reference to quality management systems (QMS) in the OFFCR, it does include many of the elements that you would expect in an effective QMS, such as: requirements for risk-based planning, defined and documented procedures on how to carry out official control checks; requirements for competent staff and methods for their supervision; internal audit, analysis and review amongst other requirements.

Why Update OFFCR? The OFFCR was published in 2004 and in light of experience and a number of high

profile food fraud incidents, a review is probably appropriate at this time. Some of the aims of the update are to: modernise the system of official controls and create a single framework for all controls along the food chain; to simplify and clarify the system and create an integrated and uniform approach to official controls.

The update put forward by the European Commission proposes to cover the whole agri-food chain and extends the scope of the regulation from feed, food, animal health and welfare to also include plant health, animal by-products and plant protection products and official control activities such as surveying, monitoring and disease control tasks.

There has been much debate since the proposals were tabled, particularly in relation to the inclusion of plant products and the debate looks set to continue among member states. Some aspects relating to plant products such as plant reproductive material (e.g. seeds) and forestry may be excluded or regulated slightly differently.

In the past, the focus on much of food law and animal health rules has been to ensure food safety but in light of more recent issues relating to food fraud, such as the “horsemeat scandal”, there has been an increased focus on protecting other consumer interests also.

What Will be Subject to Checks?

Animals and goods at all stages of production, processing, marketing and distribution will be subject to checks by officials. As will substances, materials or other objects that may influence the characteristics or health of the above. Operators, their activities, premises, land, crops, processes, storage, transport, use of goods and keeping of animals and all related documentation will also be covered. This means that associated businesses supplying the feed and food sectors, such as the packaging industry, would also be included.

Previously, some of these areas were not included under the OFFCR or were regulated separately. With the update, the idea is to integrate all official checks into one regulation to improve efficiency, transparency and consistency.

Some of the key changes proposed relate to: • Financing of official controls; • Consolidation of sectoral import controls; • Improvements in transparency,

efficiencies and flexibility; • Strengthened cross-border

co-operation; • Integrated information management system.

There are also some changes to the designation of laboratories and sampling proposed. Some changes to enforcement measures are also proposed, including penalties if a business fails to co-operate, and additional measures in cases of non-compliances e.g. closure of websites.

Financing of Official Controls Proposed changes to the way official controls are financed is perhaps one of the most controversial measures under debate. The idea being that there should be some means for rewarding compliant businesses and penalising those who are not compliant. Currently, fees are paid by businesses such as large meat, fisheries or dairy processors and for border controls; the proposal is to extend mandatory fees to all food businesses, with the exception of micro-enterprises.

Adequate financial resources need to be available and the “user pays” principle should apply, while rewarding compliant businesses. This needs to be balanced against the aim of minimising the regulatory burden for SME’s, hence the proposed exemption for micro-enterprises. Equity, IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

fairness and transparency are other important principles at play.

The definition of an SME is one area of debate, issues such as turnover (<€2m/ annum), employee numbers (<10) being typical criteria proposed. The challenge for businesses located in geographically remote areas is another aspect that has been put forward for discussion.

It may be worth noting that related industries such as the packaging industry will also be subject to mandatory fees based on the criteria that will be finally agreed.

Consolidation of Import Controls Current import controls are fragmented and it is proposed to have one common set of rules applicable to all imports, including actions to be taken in the event of non-compliance. There will be one common health entry document and alignment with modernised customs codes. This should prove to be more business-friendly, with common terminology and codes being used across customs and agri-food control. There will be additional specific rules for imports of animals, animal prod-

The update to the OFFCR put forward by the European Commission proposes to cover the whole agri-food chain.

ucts and by-products, plants, plant and germinal products (seeds), and food and feed with specific associated risk.

Improvements in Transparency, Efficiencies and Flexibility Member state competent authorities will be obliged to ensure a high level of transparency of control activities by, for example, publication of information, although flexibility will remain as to the extent of information a member state decides to publish. A high degree of transparency will also be required in relation to financing of controls and fees charged. It is foreseen that this should be a key driver of accountability and efficiency of the system.

Consolidation of current rules, especially in relation to imports, should also contribute to increased transparency of the official control system.

On-Going Negotiations There have been discussions around the role of vets versus other qualified staff which may have cost implications. Also around cross-border assistance, right of appeal, disclosure to the public and finan-

cial penalties. The latter relates to cases of intentional infringements (fraud), where the penalty should offset the economic advantage sought; while this principle seems reasonable, there may be difficulty in establishing the appropriate figure.

Discussions will continue on the subject of plant reproductive material, plant protective products and fees for official controls.

Negotiations are continuing amongst member state representatives and it is hoped to have an agreed text by the end of 2015, so there may still be some opportunity for representation by trade groups and other interested parties. Depending on having an agreed text, the update of the OFFCR may be in force in 2018.

Possible Implications for the Packaging Industry At present, the decision as to what controls to carry out and the frequency is based on risk and this will continue to be the case.

The regulatory authorities will need to perform a risk assessment in relation to the packaging industry under their responsibility and decide if any changes are warranted. Things that may influence this risk assessment could include research on the types of food safety related incidents that have occurred and may have been caused by print/packaging materials, breaches of test limits for certain packaging materials, the scale and types of materials being imported, etc.

Regulators may continue to focus on assessing packaging compliance at the point of use by the food industry and/or at import. The changes in the emphasis of the official control regulation may increase the focus on supply chain management, including traceability and authentication of materials used by the food industry. Documentation to demonstrate the authenticity and traceability of packaging material will be required by both customers and regulatory officials.

Some regulatory requests may arrive indirectly via customers as officials will check packaging supplies as part of their audits of food businesses. Ultimately, regulators will want to know that the food industry is buying from reputable suppliers and that packaging materials are compliant with the relevant legislation and are fit for purpose.

Remember, there are several legal documents applicable to the packaging industry. If you need to check you are up-to-date, the following links to the FSAI website will provide information on current

legal requirements for packaging (a category of food contact material). www.fsai.ie/legislation/food_ legislation/materials_articles/introduction.html www.fsai.ie/legislation/food_legislation/materials_articles/legislation_on_ specific_materials.html The changes to import controls may require some change in terms of documentation and procedures but in the long term, this should benefit business as it becomes more transparent and ties in with customs better.

There may possibly be more contact with regulatory officials, especially for importers initially. Anyone importing materials would need to ensure they have appropriate documentation to show compliance with the relevant legislation e.g. declarations of compliance or certificates of analysis.

There may be changes to the way

official controls (e.g. registration, audits/ inspections, sampling, imports checks) are funded, including the possibility of charges depending on scale of business, but it is too early to speculate as to how these charges will be calculated at this stage.
