As the packaging industry continues to seek practical alternatives to plastic shrink film and excessive cardboard, the new paper S enables a tight kraft paper wrap with or without tray, providing a secure and resource-conscious transport packaging solution across a range of industries, including FMCG producers and retail-ready packaging operations.

The launch of the new sleeve wrapping solution further expands Hugo Beck’s growing portfolio of sustainable paper packaging technologies – now with a focus on transport packaging applications. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to developing machine concepts that support reduced material consumption without compromising product and transport safety or operational efficiency.

The paper S has been developed as a compact operator and maintenance friendly sleeve wrapping system that can be installed inline within existing production lines or operated as a standalone solution. Its space-saving design makes it suitable for facilities with limited floor space.

The machine wraps products in or without a tray in kraft paper with overlap and optimised hot-melt gluing to ensure a tight and stable pack. This creates bundles for secure transport and handling, helping manufacturers transition away from shrink film or cardboard systems while maintaining product stability throughout the supply chain.

In addition to cost savings on material, the paper S enables energy savings compared to heat-based shrink wrapping processes. Optional add-ons such as digital printing units, labelling systems or additional automation components can be integrated to tailor the machine to specific customer requirements.

The paper packaging solution has been developed in close collaboration with Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, to ensure reliable processing and a well-matched interaction between paper substrate and machine technology. Therefore, the new sleeve wrapper will be running with Mondi’s Ad/Vantage StretchWrap paper of only 70 gsm on the Hugo Beck stand A74 in hall 11.

Combined with its very low weight, this uncoated kraft paper offers high puncture resistance and stretch characteristics, which lead to an exceptional tensile energy absorption, while being industrially compostable and recyclable in conventional paper streams.

Visitors to interpack are invited to see live demonstrations of the new sleeve wrapper on the Hugo Beck stand and discuss with the experts on site the company’s comprehensive machine portfolio for sustainable film and paper packaging.

“This introduction of the paper S in close collaboration with Mondi as a holistic solution represents a logical next step in our sustainable packaging strategy,” said Jonas Beck, managing director at Hugo Beck.

“It builds on our continuous development of paper packaging technologies over recent years. Following the launch of the paper X series targeting multiple industries together with dedicated e-commerce packaging solutions, we have steadily expanded our sustainable offering alongside our established film-based solutions. Our aim is always to support our clients to meet evolving market and regulatory demands in terms of increased sustainability. With the paper S sleeve wrapper we are offering a practical solution for reducing plastic usage and minimising cardboard consumption in transport packaging while maintaining the reliability and performance our clients expect from our technology.“

Global Recycling Day (18 March) is an opportunity to recognise how recycling powers circularity in practice – closing the loop between production, consumption and regeneration. The latest Pro Carton European Consumer Packaging Perceptions Survey, released this month, confirms that consumers increasingly view “ease of recycling” as the number one priority when it comes to sustainable packaging, and, by extension, of brand trust.

Our 2026 research found that more than one in three Europeans have switched brands due to packaging concerns (37 per cent), while ease of recycling has become the top packaging requirement for 64 per cent of Europeans. This clear signal shows how packaging has moved from being a functional protection to a driver of product value, perception and loyalty.

What’s especially encouraging is that consumers are backing up their expectations with action.  Almost six in ten Europeans (59 per cent) say they are recycling more household waste, while 62 per cent believe recycling is one of the most effective ways to combat climate change.

Fibre-based materials such as cartonboard have become a clear favourite and now command 87 per cent consumer trust when it comes to successful recycling – more than any other material – and 84 per cent of Europeans say they would prefer cartonboard over plastic when given the choice.

Even in a cost-of-living context, where affordability remains an important factor in purchasing decisions, sustainability and recyclability are still key priorities. This alignment between environmental values and economic realities shows how important circular solutions are for today’s consumer. As we celebrate Global Recycling Day, one message stands out: accelerating circularity depends on collective trust – in materials, systems and the brands that help make recycling work for people and the planet.

This latest development with one of Austria’s leading mineral water brand underlines the strong partnership between Amcor and Vöslauer and their shared commitment to developing packaging that combines functionality, inclusivity, sustainability and design excellence.

Vöslauer’s new tethered closure opens to a wide angle and clicks into place to keep it away from the face and support a comfortable drinking experience for the consumer. For maximum convenience, the closure is also easy to replace on the top of the bottle for reclosing. Keeping the closure on the bottle – mandatory for single-use bottles up to 3 litres under the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive – significantly reduces the likelihood of littering and can support higher collection and recycling rates in countries with the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place.

“We appreciate that our customers have high standards and our commitment to quality is as evident in our packaging as it is in our mineral and flavored waters,” said Mag. Yvonne Haider-Lenz of Vöslauer Mineralwasser. “We value our longstanding collaboration with Amcor and the company’s ability to support our ongoing sustainability commitments.”

As part of these commitments, Vöslauer was also the first company in Austria to introduce Amcor’s Secure Flip sports cap. This features a non-detachable tamper-evident band that is retained within the closure after opening as an alternative to a detachable tab, which is often discarded. The Secure Flip incorporates an ergonomically designed thumb tab that enables intuitive one-handed opening and opens to a stable angle of up to 180^o to provide easy access to the spout.

“Closures play a critical role in drinks packaging, protecting the products and ensuring safe and easy access, and in this way can help to influence brand perceptions,” said Sarah de la Mare, product line director for closures at Amcor Rigids Packaging Solutions International. “We are delighted to work with Vöslauer in the continuing development of innovative solutions that support both their product and sustainability goals.”

Live demonstration: Automated cutting directly from the roll

As a live application, eurolaser will demonstrate the fully automated cutting of large-format printed textiles directly from the roll. The Conveyor System enables continuous, tension-free material feeding and a seamless production process. The solution is designed for industrial environments where repeat accuracy and economic efficiency are key.

The technology on show represents a material-independent processing concept. In addition to textiles, printed film sheets, acrylic prints, wood-based materials, MDF boards, plastics and cardboard can be cut precisely and without contact. The laser operates without tool wear and ensures consistently high edge quality, regardless of contour complexity or batch size.

POSITION+ professional: Contour recognition within seconds

A central element of the presentation is the camera-based scanning system POSITION+ professional. It detects printed contours and the exact position of the material within seconds and matches them with the stored cutting data.

Deviations caused by print tolerances, material stretch or shrinkage are compensated by software control. This ensures contour-accurate cutting along the printed design and provides a high level of process reliability. The system is particularly relevant for applications in display production, shopfitting, signage and high-quality point-of-sale solutions.

Automation and modular expansion

In addition to the Conveyor System, eurolaser will provide information on further automation options such as the Shuttle Table and the Twin Table System. These solutions enable loading and unloading during operation and significantly increase machine utilisation.

Thanks to the modular system design, the laser systems can also be combined with routing and knife modules. This allows mechanical processing steps to be integrated alongside laser cutting and enables the processing of additional materials within one platform.

Marking solutions such as the Ink Printer Module, Ink Marker Module and Label Module further allow components to be printed, marked or labelled during the cutting process, supporting efficient downstream production workflows.

With its presence at FESPA 2026, eurolaser will demonstrate how a wide variety of printed materials can be processed with precision, automation and economic efficiency.

Visitors can meet the team in Hall 3, Stand A140.

This enables users to choose between vivid colour output or enhanced durability depending on the label application.

In addition, it features four separate ink cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow and black combined with a user-replaceable printhead, a concept already proven with the LX2000e Color Label Printer. This configuration allows users to adapt ink usage and maintenance to their specific production requirements while keeping operating costs under control.

Designed with industrial use in mind, the DTM CLP2200e comes in a compact metal case that can be easily integrated into production lines or space-critical environments. Connectivity options include USB 2.0, Ethernet and a 24 V PLC interface, allowing straightforward integration into automated systems.

For reliable media handling and simplified maintenance, the printer offers a flat label feed path as well as modular access points for cleaning and service. An external label supply feed for larger roll outer diameters increases the productivity. Operation and status monitoring are managed via the DTM CLP2200e Toolbox software and an integrated display on the printer.

“We’re glad that true black is back at DTM Print,” says Lea König, product manager of DTM Print. “With four large ink tanks we can offer a competitive cost per label while staying as flexible as possible with dye ink for superior quality prints and pigment ink for UV resistant labels. Add to that the multiple connection options, along with 210 mm (8.25”) print width and you’ve got everything most companies would ever need. With DTM CLP2200e, there are only benefits and no compromises.”

To meet the typical applications including product labels for beverages, speciality and gourmet foods, gardening, cosmetics, chemical, GHS or supplement labels, DTM Print has developed several media modes, compatible with all different surfaces of the Genuine DTM Label Stock, which brings out the best of this label printer in terms of durability and print quality. DTM CLP2200e is also ideal for private labelling, test marketing, pre-press proofing and retail labelling.

Printer drivers are included for Windows along with BarTender UltraLite DTM Edition and NiceLabel Free DTM Edition Software to create label designs, add barcodes, QR codes and serialisation. Most other popular graphic design programs for Windows can be used to design and print labels.

The DTM CLP2200e Colour Label Printer is priced at € 3,595 (MSRP) and available from DTM Print or through authorised DTM Print partners in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

DTM Print offers customers a three-year warranty for DTM CLP2200e units within the EU, UK and EFTA countries after registering the product on the company website (register.dtm-print.eu). For maximum protection and minimum down times, the DTM Print Warranty Solutions are a great addition.
