Aug 6, 2026 — The global packaging‑printing sector keeps advancing sustainable and digital production solutions this week, with material‑saving marking technology, upgraded paper‑bottle manufacturing and high‑speed digital carton equipment standing out.
Mondi has launched a laser‑marked e‑commerce packaging concept. Replacing ink printing and adhesive labels, the recyclable corrugated‑board‑based solution supports fast design revisions for personalized orders. It has won a German packaging sustainability award and fits e‑commerce and bag‑in‑box applications, cutting ink and sticker consumption.
FrugalPac cooperates with Siemens to scale up automated production lines for paper bottles. The joint project targets sealing and water‑resistance bottlenecks for mass‑produced paper containers, serving wine, spirits and edible‑oil packaging markets.
In Poland, Tamir has installed a KBA‑Durst VariJET106 B0‑format digital folding‑carton press. The new device handles small‑and‑medium‑batch orders for pharmaceutical, food and automotive boxes. It reduces plate‑changing waste and runs alongside offset presses, scheduled for operation in late August.
Driven by EU PPWR regulations, packaging producers prioritize recyclable design and low‑waste processing to meet tightening cross‑border compliance requirements.
