Constantia Flexibles, a global leader in flexible packaging solutions, will present its latest innovations at FACHPACK 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany, from 24 to 26 September 2024, focusing on more sustainable innovations. 

The company already offers a recyclable alternative for more than 90% of its portfolio. Constantia Flexibles takes a 360-degree materials approach, providing aluminium, film, and paper solutions for diverse consumer markets. By collaborating with its customers, the packaging manufacturer ensures the optimal solution for each product while expanding its sustainable offerings, e.g. with its digital printing solutions.

Marc Rademacher, Executive Vice President Consumer Commercial of Constantia Flexibles, emphasised the company’s focus on innovation, stating: “Digital printing is our latest technical advancement, a unique printing technology for aluminium die-cut lids. We also strive to offer a wide range of products designed for recycling across all segments, including our product innovation, EcoTwistPaper and compostable EcoPressoLid.”

Constantia Flexibles is currently the only flexible packaging company able to digitally print full-surface and water-based on aluminum without compromising sealing conditions.

The technology supports printing on aluminum and PET and will be extended to all substrates in due time.

With a competitive speed, products can be delivered in unprecedented time from design approval to shipping.

This service offers flexibility by eliminating the need for printing clichés, plates, or cylinders required in other printing techniques.

Moreover, less artwork preparation at Repro House reduces costs and Constantia Flexibles’ digital printing offer covers 93% of all Pantone colours, ensuring consistent printing quality every time.

The digital printing service supports short-runs and reduces working capital, allowing for multiple customisations within a batch while minimising material waste. Additionally, the water-based inks used meet food safety and sustainability standards.
