In order to satiate your curiosity to learn more about this topic, we share with you PackIOT’s white paper on Digital Transformation for the Packaging Industry, for free. PackIOT is a startup and the first analytics software for the packaging industry. It helps manufacturers to be more efficient through the data insights PackIOT is able to provide.
BOBST has launched oneINSPECTION, an integrated and evolving set of quality control solutions to proactively meet the needs of brand owners and converters, making zero-fault packaging a reality in the labels, flexible packaging, folding carton and corrugated board industries. The new quality control will also provide significant value to packers, retailers and consumers as part of the packaging value chain.
New HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution delivers lighter, faster, more durable and easier to use tools, and more innovative packaging designs;

Industry partners Pulp Moulding Dies Inc. (PMD) and Veritiv enable innovative packaging for food & beverage, consumer electronics, and industrial markets;
Initial customers include leading molded fiber manufacturers Fiber Innovation, Pacific Pulp, Pulp Moulded Products, and Western Pulp Products Company
Stora Enso will build a pilot facility for producing Cellufoam™ by Stora Enso, a lightweight, fiber-based foam material for protective packaging and cushioning.
Pregis, a leading manufacturer of protective packaging, is introducing the AirSpeed® Ascent high-pressure air cushioning system. This next generation inflator creates the patented square pattern hybrid cushioning (HC) packaging material on-demand, saving companies valuable floor space while providing superior product protection to ensure products arrive to customers undamaged.
A combination of new BOBST visionary technologies will bring unparalleled levels of automation and digital transformation to folding carton converters seeking greater agility and efficiency in die-cutting operations. Flatbed die-cutter, MASTERCUT 106 PER, together with the novel digital recipe management tool, TooLink, epitomize the new BOBST vision, unveiled in June, for an entirely connected packaging production system.
Analyzing data within the packaging sector does not have to be rocket science. If you work with the correct production metrics and KPIs, it can be pretty easy to understand what is failing and what can be improved at your factory.To help you get that, PackIOT and Packaging 360 have developed a Free Guide to help you understand which are the most appropriate metrics to use in your factory.
Fluctuating supply and demand levels in any industry can impact prices throughout the supply chain. Knowing when shifts happen and what they mean for your costs will help you negotiate, plan, and report your packaging costs with confidence. Fortunately, you can track key market indicators in the paper industry to understand and anticipate price changes
Safe Load Testing Technologies announced today its new Tilt Testing Tool, an affordable, mobile and easy-to-use device specifically designed to evaluate load stability during transportation.
Circus Tamper Loop Pro products extend the tamper detection and authentication features of this range of tags with advanced cryptographic capabilities provided by its Pro level IC.
Quality is one of the biggest differentiators in the packaging industry. Other factors matter too of course – cost efficiency, sustainability, lead times – but ultimately if packaging fails the quality test, it can jeopardize a whole run, and a customer relationship with it. In some sectors – pharmaceuticals for example – packaging faults can have even more significant consequences.
EUMOS, the European Safe Logistics Association, today launched the revision of its recognized “test method for load unit rigidity” standard ensuring cargo packed on a Cargo Transport Unit (CTU) will travel even more safely from origin to destination. The new EUMOS 40509:2020 will provide the most precise results in relation to any standard regarding load rigidity developed in the past by adding new evaluation elements with respect to the ones foreseen by the original standard EUMOS 40509 from 2012.
