PACKAGING MATERIAL SOLUTIONS
We at Rieckermann provide consultations to converters and recycling companies to help them optimize their waste-handling processes and increase environmental protection through proven recycling technologies and customized process solutions. Our portfolio covers energy- efficient mechanical recycling solutions that convert in-house, industrial, and post-consumer waste into high-grade resins.
The market for flexible packaging is rapidly growing as this type of packaging combines the capabilities of different polyolefins, paper, and aluminum foil to deliver a complete range of diverse properties using minimal materials.
Most of these materials are recyclable and offer many benefits, such as ease of use, resealability and printability, whilst providing protection to ensure a longer shelf life and food safety. In addition to this, flexible packaging can be customized, for example eliminating the need for extra product labeling.
Our rigid packaging solutions account for every stage of the process, including injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and blow molding for the production of fast moving consumer goods, such as bottles and caps, cups, bowls, containers, trays, and lids as well as medical devices and personal care products. For beverages, such as water and carbonated soft drinks (CSD), rigid packaging applications continue to show a significant growth.
The world of printing is changing – and it is changing fast. Following the growing demand for small and personalized print jobs, digital printing has seen huge growth figures in labels, packaging, and commercial printing. Furthermore, transparency of prices on the internet results in strong competition between print suppliers. The intense pressure on margins will continue, which will also affect conventional print processes such as offset, gravure and flexo printing. The main focus will be printing speed and faster change overs with reduced waste.
