Why We Turn to Print in Significantly Historical Times

Why We Turn to Print in Significantly Historical Times

By Erwin Busselot, Director Business Innovation & Solutions, Ricoh Graphic Communications, Ricoh

The important role of print in reporting, documenting, and providing a permanent record of significant historical events was evident following the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Great Britain’s collective grief and reverence for a monarch that had reigned for seventy years was underlined by the huge interest in printed media that commemorated and celebrated her life.

Sales for many newspapers increased dramatically demonstrating how we still connect with the authenticity, credibility, and enduring presence of print.

The Daily Express sold 75% more copies the day after Her Majesty’s death. On Twitter Karl Holbook, executive editor of the Express, said the demand showed the ‘deep affection’ people still have for print.

A spokesperson for the Guardian told Printweek that the newspaper’s sales more than doubled on September 10.

As well as special editions on the morning following the Queen’s death, there were a number of substantial commemorative supplements.

Magazines also produced editions that celebrated the life of the Queen. Special tribute issues included those from Grazia and Yours. These special editions will be retained through the years, held and treasured in the way that no online content ever can be.

Among the reasons we turn to print at significant moments is the power of trust it holds.

This is something Print Power recently highlighted following the results of the “Press and the various drivers of Trust” study by ACPM & Dentsu in France.

It found that in a world of fake news, deep fakes and alternative facts, the net trust score for offline media, including print, is three times higher than online media.

It also reported printed newspapers and magazines were among the communications channels that gave the highest trust levels to consumers because they offer credibility, proximity, and transparency.

Consumers are increasingly looking for trusted environments, and that extends to trusted media channels too.

Printed newspapers and magazines deliver this.

They remain consistently reliable sources that we turn to in significantly important times. The tangible power of print lends gravitas that online communications cannot deliver.

Digital Process Installs Third Thermo FlexX Imager From XSYS

Digital Process Installs Third Thermo FlexX Imager From XSYS

The Pakistani prepress specialist has acquired a Thermo FlexX TFxX 80S imager, the third in as many years and the largest in the range, to support customers in the corrugated market in moving from analogue to digital flexo plates, as the company expands with a second facility

Prepress specialist, Digital Process (Pvt) Ltd, is on a journey of growth and innovation to bring its entire customer base the best quality in flexo plates. Over the past three years, the Karachi-based repro house has replaced all its older imagers with an impressive lineup of Thermo FlexX technology which covers the entire gamut of segments, from labels to flexible packaging and now also corrugated post-print.

While many competitors in the region are focused solely on costs, Digital Process stands out with its decision to introduce a new level of quality thanks to its resolute investment in three Thermo FlexX imagers from XSYS. The latest installation of the large Thermo FlexX TFxX 80S comes hot on the heels of a Thermo FlexX TFxX 48 bought just last year and a Thermo FlexX TFxX 60 in 2019. As such, the company can now cater to every need of its many customers, which include some of the biggest printing companies and their global brand clients across Pakistan, India, the Middle East and Africa.

Founded in 2006, Digital Process continues to lead the way in flexo platemaking in Pakistan with the latest technologies and solutions. Founder and CEO Zain Fazal reflects on the company’s experience with XSYS and the Thermo FlexX technology, “We produce over 10,000 sqm of photopolymer plate material each year, and our customers expect best-in-class products and services from us. The Thermo FlexX imagers support us in being able to meet and even exceed these expectations. This robust and innovative technology has already more than proven itself in our busy working environment for our label and flexible packaging clients; we are now ready to extend this service to the corrugated market.”

With the new Thermo FlexX TFxX 80S, the repro house can offer flexo plates in sizes up to 2032 x 1270mm (80 x 50”) in thicknesses of 0.73–6.35mm (0.029–0.25 inches). The imager can deliver an exceptionally high image quality with a maximum resolution of 5080 dpi equivalent to 250 lpi, but also offers adaptable levels of resolutions for those applications that require less brilliance.

Such has been the success of the Thermo FlexX imagers that Digital Process is already planning to invest in a fourth machine as part of an expansion in the northern part of Pakistan. “We are opening a new manufacturing facility in Lahore to offer a more local service to customers there and we are very much doing this on the back of the technology and the fantastic partnership we have established with XSYS,” said Mr Fazal. “We get the best service I have ever experienced from the XSYS team and that goes right back to when we first started buying Flint plates 15 years ago. Technical manager, Yves Vanryckeghem,

is always available and he makes us feel like we are the most important client. He even advised us which spare parts to keep in stock, so we can avoid unwanted downtime if anything needs replacing.”

Yves Vanryckeghem replied, “I must admire Digital Process and the determination to invest in the best solutions on offer in the face of a very volatile market, where many choose to cut corners and buy in cheap low-quality machines without thinking about the real costs. Thermo FlexX imaging technology produces high-quality plates all day, every day – 24/7 if needed – with just minimum waste and that makes them the sustainable choice for the long term. Zain and the team have the longevity, the quality and the support to easily fight off the competition and we are honored to be part of that battle.”

No Liner, No Problem! Aptar Food + Beverage Announces Slide, a New Liner-Free Dispensing Closure

No Liner, No Problem! Aptar Food + Beverage Announces Slide, a New Liner-Free Dispensing Closure

Increasing consumer convenience, reducing waste, and improving packaging recyclability

Aptar Food + Beverage, a global leader in dispensing solutions for more than 50 years, proudly announces Slide, a new approach that is set to revolutionize the dispensing closure market. This new offering is unique, because it does not require the application of a foil liner for shelf-stable food products, which is the market norm today.

“We conducted multiple consumer studies while developing this solution, and in almost every case, we heard that removing the liner is a point of frustration today,” states Matt Schalewski, Senior Global Business Development Manager at Aptar. “Slide enables consumers to access their product with one opening gesture, delivering a convenient and memorable packaging experience while still protecting product shelf life and reducing the potential for product tampering.”

Slide: Revolutionary Tamper Evidence System
To eliminate the need for a foil liner, Aptar Food + Beverage developed a patented non-detachable tamper evidence system which is built into the closure. Upon first opening the package, the tamper evidence band visually slides from the “closed” to the “open” position and locks into the lid of the closure. This is a benefit to both brands and consumers as this breakthrough feature provides product safety by informing consumers whether the package has been previously opened. Additionally, Slide provides a much more convenient packaging experience as consumers no longer need to unscrew the closure, remove and dispose the liner, and put the closure back onto the bottle before dispensing the product. With Slide, all these steps are replaced by only one simple and intuitive opening gesture.

Recyclability is Key
In addition to ensuring consumer safety and convenience, brand owners are also seeking packaging alternatives that align and enable them to deliver on their sustainability commitments. Since the foil liner is not considered to be recyclable today, removing this component reduces the amount of packaging waste. Aptar’s lifecycle analysis comparing Slide to a closure with a foil liner showed that liner-free packaging reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 16%. This innovative dispensing closure also leverages Aptar’s new Simpli Cycle, a fully recyclable flow control valve technology that has been approved by leading organizations such as the Association for Plastic Recyclers (APR) in the United States, and Recy Class in Europe as being fully recyclable.

Slide has been tested for use on shelf-stable products. This innovative solution also comes in industry standard dimensions and bottle neck finishes.

See the Award-Winning Slide Closure in Action at Pack Expo
Slide will be featured in Aptar’s Booth N-4740 at Pack Expo, taking place in Chicago, October 23-26th. Slide has been recognized with AmeriStar’s 2022 award for sustainable packaging innovation. “For products such as condiments, spreads, and honey, Slide is well-positioned to enable the next closure revolution that is better for both consumers and the environment and in line with the needs of brands. Slide is one more example of Aptar’s Food + Beverage expertise in providing sustainable and innovative solutions to address the ever-changing needs of the markets we proudly serve,” Schalewski concluded.

GCR Accelerates Investment With New Recycling Plant to Support Circular Economy

GCR Accelerates Investment With New Recycling Plant to Support Circular Economy

  • New dedicated recycling plant adding 200,000 Tonnes capacity. Commissioning in 2023 and expected to be fully operational by 2025
  • Builds new capability based on 20 years of experience in meeting the needs of the circular economy through its Ciclic and Granic product lines
  • Wide range of Ciclic brand recycled polyolefins matching virgin resin properties with up to 70% reduction in carbon footprint
  • Up-cycling with fully traceable waste streams, to deliver consistent and reliable products

GCR Group has announced the plan to open a new dedicated recycling plant in Castellet i La Gornal, Barcelona, Spain, enhancing the group’s capability to serve increased global demand for its Ciclic range of recycled polyolefins (R-polyolefins). The 200,000 Tonnes (200kT) plant, commissioning in 2023, when fully operational in 2025, will be one of the largest of its kind and is a significant step for the group; the capacity for Ciclic combined with that for the Granic range of sustainable mineral-filled masterbatches and compounds will reach 500kT. GCR has a global reach, exporting 85% of its sales to over 100 countries.

GCR strongly believes collaboration on the developing of new products and applications is essential to accelerate the circular economy. The company hosts the ‘co-creation’ process across the value chain, where brand owners, converters, and suppliers can come together to practically test ideas and create precisely-defined sustainable solutions.

Whilst many announcements support the circular economy, this investment will enable GCR to host a leading position in Europe and reflects a long-term vision created more than 20 years ago when GCR Group was founded and a track record of continuous investment in that vision. This long experience in materials technology, innovation, and a relentless focus on quality and consistency enables GCR to partner with companies to deliver practical and realistic answers to sustainability questions. “Our essence, driving force, and operational excellence are focused on ‘Innovating our Sustainable Tomorrow’, “ says Managing Director Joan Prats. “Our success is based on the experience of our people and investment in state-of-the-art equipment, but also coupled with agility and a collaborative approach”, he adds.

When brand owners think about using recycled plastics, they are often concerned about issues such as consistency of supply, traceability and whether the mechanical performance can match the virgin polymers they currently use. For many development engineers, reaching future internal and external sustainability targets is increasingly challenging. However, GCR’s existing Ciclic up-cycled products and ‘co-creation’ approach to customisation can solve these problems.

The Ciclic -polyolefins are based on up-cycling fully traceable waste streams and can deliver similar and consistent material properties as the virgin plastic. By replacing virgin plastic with these grades, Carbon Footprint certification can be 60-80% lower without compromising performance and quality. GCR believes companies facing sustainability challenges can find the answers through GCR’s products and long experience.

GCR accelerates investment with new recycling plant to support circular economy.

 

GCR’s extensive experience in polymer materials technology helps develop customised solutions in partnership with suppliers and end customers in a collaborative partnership. The new production plant is complemented by a recently opened Innovation Hub with ‘Co-creation’ space, enabling the development of new formulations and the production and testing of compounds on a pilot plant.

The new plant investment provides sufficient capacity to address high-volume demands in applications such as rigid and flexible packaging, automotive, construction and home and garden markets. In addition, GCR carries out toll manufacturing for food contact applications using advanced recycling technology, enabling impurity-free materials and certified to EuCertPlast.

GCR strives to accelerate the deployment of circular economy models. “We dare to dream; we are determined to set new standards, offering high-performance materials that contribute to environmental stewardship,” says Prats.

Climate Protection and Extrusion-blow Moulding Machines – Where is the Connection?

Climate Protection and Extrusion-blow Moulding Machines – Where is the Connection?

Climate Protection and Extrusion-blow Moulding Machines – Where is the Connection?

Climate protection is a megatrend and a goal of the plastics industry. Plastics producers and plastics processing machinery makers are striving to contribute and propose new solutions. The new AX 880 machine introduced at the K 2022 by ST Blow Moulding is the ultimate step in that direction.

Energy saving: nothing new for ST Blow Moulding!

ST Blow Moulding has been a pioneer of this trend: already since 2012, it became the only blow moulding machinery maker using adiabatic extruders on large scale.

Through their special screw and barrel design, they generate a gentle plasticizing with no melt overheating. Therefore, no cooling fans are needed; on the contrary, a double-layer insulation of the extruder barrel reduces up to 10 times the heat dissipation compared with a conventional extruder.

After 10 years, more than 350 million tons of plastic material have been processed by the ST Blow Moulding adiabatic extruders, resulting in an overall energy saving of approx. 35 million kWh – which means approx. 5.000.000 € savings on energy costs for our customers.

The new AX 880 machine with all-electric clamping unit, synchronous reluctance motors and electro-hydraulic parison push-out outclasses the maximum energy efficiency
according to Euromap 46.1 (class 10: < 0,29 kWh/kg), even in the large extrusion-blow moulding machines for industrial applications.

Recycled plastics in extrusion blow-moulding: a dream or a reality?

The answer is in the multi-layer technology, available either in continuous extrusion or in accumulator head process.

The new AX 880 introduced at the K 2022 is equipped with two extruders: each one of them feeds a separate melt channel in the accumulator head. A new design of the flow channels significantly improves the balance of the two layers, resulting in a viable solution for many two-layer applications.

And if a further layer is needed, the Outer Coating Technology – with a separate accumulator chamber – is available.

Weight reduction through foaming technology

Besides saving energy and recycling plastic material, using less raw material is another key advantage both for the environment and for the customers. This is where foaming technology comes in.

This technology generates a foamed structure into the blown part, using a neutral gas (N2 or CO2) and a nucleating agent. The density reduction results in lighter parts, raw material saving, better thermal and acoustic insulation. Both extruders of the new AX 880 machine are pre-arranged with ports to feed the gas for the material foaming.

Towards the “Hydrogen Economy”

The future of climate protection is moving towards hydrogen as an energy carrier. ST Blow Moulding is strongly committed to play a leading role in this challenge, by developing technologies for blow-moulding hydrogen liners: a perfect match between expertise and market demands.

ST Blow Moulding is looking forward to welcoming you at the K 2022 exhibition (Hall H14 stand B04), to show you more about the new AX 880 machine and discuss any blow moulding topic of your interest!

SABIC, Drylock and Plastik Group Partner for Absorbent Hygiene Applications With Circular Certified Polymers

  • Recycling of materials into hygiene applications: Certified circular polymers from SABIC’s Trucircle portfolio are used in recyclable hygiene film for feminine hygiene, baby care and disposable medical applications
  • High-purity recycled material can be adopted in downstream processes as a direct drop-in with no compromise in production efficiency and product performance
  • Value chain partnership between SABIC, Plastik Group and Drylock Technologies expands use of alternative feedstock in market segment of absorbent hygiene products; first product already launched in the market, and more to come

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, has announced that Plastik Group, a major international manufacturer of films and bags for the hygiene market, is using certified circular polymers from SABIC’s Trucircle portfolio in the production of specialty films designed for absorbent disposables offered by Drylock Technologies. Drylock has approved the use of these films for various absorbent hygiene applications, such as sanitary pads, panty liners, towels and diapers in feminine, baby and incontinence care.

“There is a global trend towards identifying solutions for single-use disposable absorbent hygiene products” says Abdullah Al-Otaibi, General Manager of Engineering Thermoplastic & Market Solutions at SABIC. “With our Trucircle initiative, we identified sustainable solutions for such challenges. Our value chain partnership with Plastik Group and Drylock can serve as a role model for making a difference. While it demonstrates a feasible route to more responsible, circular product solutions, it meets with our aims to increase efficiency and create value of used materials that would otherwise end up as waste in landfill sites or incineration plants.”

SABIC produces Trucircle certified circular polymers for its SABIC Purecares polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) polymers portfolio with feedstock from advanced recycling of mixed and used plastic, which keeps valuable used plastic in the circular chain. Plastik Group uses PP and PE resins from this portfolio to create various innovative film materials for absorbent hygiene applications. Drylock has selected these films for manufacturing a range of new hygiene products that meet increased regulatory, brand owner and consumer demands for more responsible, lower-carbon and waste reducing solutions without compromising safety, purity and convenience. At the end of their service life, these hygiene products can be returned into the raw materials cycle for separation of components, cleaning and re-conversion to circular feedstock.

“We operate two manufacturing sites for hygiene films and bags accredited to mass balance accounting according to the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus regime for tracing the circular or bio-based material content throughout the entire production chain,” states Cattaneo Gianangelo, President at Plastik Group. “Depending on customer specifications and technical requirements, the content of circular certified polymers from SABIC in our films can be raised all the way up to 100 percent, resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional hygiene films.”

“Being a global leader in sustainable hygiene products means taking care of a lot of things, from vegan and cruelty-free solutions to maintaining our carbon neutral status,” adds Jules Van Malderen, Business Development Director at Drylock Technologies. “The substitution of standard virgin PE film by paper and film based on recycled PE is just one example. We will continue moving further into this direction, as fast and disruptive innovation is a part of our DNA, even more so when it comes to sustainability. After all, by our slogan we ‘Innovate to protect’.”
