In our third and final video report, you'll see a range of packaging machinery introduced at the interpack show with innovative attributes.

Highlights of the show included:

Package developments from OEMs--new cartons, display-ready cases, beverage shrink sleeving, wrapping of complex shapes, high end product wrapping and the flexible can

Simplified and consistent operation (no operator tweaking) through greater use of motorized, pushbutton, tool-less 5-15 minute changeovers

Simplified maintenance through automation, allowing plants to take full ownership despite sophisticated technologies

Rapidly increasing use of purpose-built packaging robotic machines rather than third party robots--for high speed picking, packing and orienting of products and primary packs

Integrating the product assembly process into packaging

Because interpack takes place only once every three years, it is the showplace for major European product announcements.
