interpack 2011: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG as Technology Partner in Innovationparc Packaging

05/12/2011


  • Focus on eco-friendly finishing for health products
  • Heidelberg cold-foil technology increases eye-catching appeal of packaging
At this year's interpack from 12 to 18 May 2011 in Dusseldorf, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be exhibiting as a technology partner in Hall 7a, booth 7AB11/C30 in the Innovationparc Packaging health/wellbeing segment. On show in the 'Dr. Happy' health shop will be innovative products and packaging, created as joint projects with partners from the various stages of the health product value chain. Heidelberg is involved as a technology partner in a number of joint projects and is demonstrating eco-friendly finishing with cold foil to effectively enhance design packaging for these products. Other partners in the project include Bialas Runge Partner brand design, Vermeulen Brand Design, Brigl & Bergmeister, Michael Huber München, Silfox Packaging and Global Color Research.

High-impact "green" finishing
Product examples include 'Brainbalance', which comprises four drinks designed to support consumers in the phases of sleep, rest, balance and happiness. Care was taken in the packaging design to ensure an attractive presentation with a clear view of the products. The two-component package design makes it possible to remove the tray from the outer packaging and place it upright for easy removal of the drinks. It is also possible to place the entire resealable package upright. The packaging is attractively finished with high-quality cold foil. Use of the latest Heidelberg cold foil technology eliminates the need for full-surface metalizing of a carton to achieve an attractive, appealing appearance. The foil is applied only to those areas where the metallic effect is required. This lowers the use of valuable resources and is more environmentally friendly. The bottle labels are also finished with cold foil in a clear color concept.

The folding box and labels were created in cooperation with Vermeulen Brand Design and Brigl & Bergmeister and produced from prepress to postpress entirely on Heidelberg machines in the Packaging Print Media Center in Wiesloch-Walldorf, Germany.
