Lots of decisions to buy are made right in front of the shelf. The packaging is often the trigger that decides whether a consumer makes a purchase or not. For KHS, however, the success of a product starts much earlier than this, as KHS CEO Kai Page 2 of 7 Acker emphasizes: “Consumers and beverage producers alike want packaging that combines ecological and economic benefits with optimum product protection and carrying convenience.” Here, the packaging is a key element in KHS’ holistic line concept, he continues. “We offer our customers perfectly orchestrated turnkey systems and solutions optimally tailored to their requirements and the demands of the market. Our line concept ensures that processes are flexible, reliable and cost-effective.”
Flexibility meets sustainability
One prime example of this is the KHS Innopack Kisters TSP Advanced that the Dortmund systems manufacturer will be exhibiting at interpack. Well established on the market, this machine gives operators a high level of flexibility, packing PET and glass bottles and cans on trays, in film as well as on trays or pads and film. To mark the Düsseldorf trade show, the experts at KHS have added a particularly sustainable alternative to plastic-based carrying rings to its list of possible applications: the fully-automatic packaging machine can now turn PET bottles into resource-conserving packs using the BottleClip. This cardboard handle option is available for all KHS Kisters machines in the Advanced series.
Diverse packaging portfolio
Besides its BottleClip module, KHS will also be introducing trade visitors to interpack to further innovative packaging systems such as the internationally proven Nature MultiPack that turns cans and PET bottles into robust packs using small dots of adhesive. This sustainable packaging cuts down on valuable resources and gives consumers maximum pack stability coupled with perfect carrying convenience. When needed, each container can be easily detached from the rest of the pack.
