At Drinktec 2025 SMI will showcase an EBS 10 KL ERGON rotary stretch-blow moulder in combi with an ENOBERG filler from the HEVF series. This solution can produce up to 2,750 bph/cavity and is equipped with aluminium moulds for 0.5 L PET bottles without labels. The bottles feature an elegant, sinuous shape with the company logo embossed vertically along the height of the container.

A simple action with a strong impact

When we talk about sustainability, we often think of complex choices that require significant investments. However, installing an SMI rotary stretch-blow moulder equipped with special moulds to produce label-less PET and rPET containers inside your production facilities demonstrates that innovation can be simple.

Tell your story with a bottle

Thanks to the label-less solution, primary packaging becomes functional, efficient and sustainable. The container showcased at the trade fair stems from the idea of creating a customizable bottle featuring the company’s logo, which, thanks to a highly innovative system, is no longer printed on a paper or plastic label, but directly embossed onto the surface of the bottle.

In addition, all essential product information is accessible via a QR code printed on the cap, which also assists visually impaired or blind users, as it is marked with Braille text. Since SMI does not produce water or soft drinks, scanning the QR code leads to the corporate website, where visitors can discover our story of passion and continuous innovation.

Advantages for the environment and the consumer:

  • eco-sustainable solution, as the PET bottle is 100% recyclable
  • better compliance with environmental regulations regarding recycling
  • easier material recycling, since there’s no label to remove
  • no glue needed for label application

Advantages for the bottler:

  • saving on the purchasing costs of raw materials (label and glue)
  • saving on storage costs of raw materials
  • simplified and optimized production process, as no labeller is required for the application of the label.
