"Moving stress-free" may sound almost impossible, but it is definitely doable. With a good mix of planning, structure and the right ...
There are many types of packaging and they are very different. This applies not only to the variety of shapes and materials - but above all to their respective intended use. In logistics, a fundamental distinction is therefore made between primary, secondary and tertiary packaging. We explain what primary packaging is and what special requirements it has to fulfil.
What is packaging? Everyone knows that. And yet, in everyday life, even the simplest terms relating to packaging quickly become confused.
What are the requirements for packaging to be optimally recyclable? What possibilities are there for manufacturers to combine appealing packaging design and excellent recyclability? The Circular Packaging Design Guideline of the University of Applied Sciences (FH) Campus Vienna shows which means can be used to efficiently close material and product cycles.
The topic of circular economy is by no means new in the EU. Quite the opposite: the EU Commission's circular economy package was already adopted in 2018, after three years of discussions on the content of the proposals. Now, according to the will of the European Parliament, a tightening of waste regulations is on the agenda. Among other things, this is intended to improve the market opportunities for recycled materials. But it is not least about increasing the share of recycled materials - for example in the manufacture of plastic products.
Foods are sensitive goods and susceptible to various external influences. In order for consumers to be able to enjoy food without worries, protective packaging is necessary in many cases. Since these are materials for food contact, they must meet strict specifications - and the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) makes its recommendations in this regard.
The first patent for fluted paper was granted in 1856. It was applied for by the two Britons Edward Charles Healey and Edward Ellis Allen. However, they had no intention of initiating a revolution in packaging technology. Instead, their aim was to develop sweatbands for hats.
As one of the leading manufacturers of packaging materials, we are faced with an increasing demand for sophisticated, high-quality product and shipping packaging. Producing attractive and functional folding cartons requires a consistently high carton quality with an extensive degree of automation. Another technological highlight from our machine park helps us to achieve this: a folding box glueing and folding system.
Today, parcel service providers such as DHL, Hermes and others scan customers' addresses using automated systems. Here, a correctly labelled address label is of great importance. This is especially true for parcels and packages.
As far as direct contact with the product is concerned, secondary packaging really does take a back seat. But this does not make them any less important: they serve as additional protection for primary packaging and packaged goods, play a central role in shipping and are also indispensable in marketing. Reasons enough to take a closer look at secondary packaging.

Two years after the start of the Corona pandemic, there is still no relief in sight. Even though the WHO is cautiously talking about a possible improvement of the situation in 2022, the further course of the pandemic is more than uncertain. New mutations of the virus, such as the current Omicron variant, and a low vaccination rate have caused the infection figures in Germany to rise extremely in the last quarter of 2021 and at the beginning of the new year 2022 - with renewed drastic effects on society and the economy.
