 One of the most successful events in the global packaging industry, interpack 2011, held the biggest edition in its 53-year history as the world's most important trade fair for the packaging sector and related processing industries. This was the unanimous sentiment amongst the 2,700 exhibitors from 60 nations in all of the 19 fully booked halls of the Düsseldorf trade fair centre from 12 to 18 May 2011. Optimism ran high as the shaky global economy seemed to stabilise and business in emerging markets offset performance in traditional markets.

 Exhibitors at interpack 2011 were in excellent spirits and reported having a host of excellent meetings with high-calibre visitors. Many had approached companies with specific orders, they said, and extremely lucrative post-fair business was expected. Amongst them were a particularly large number of decision-makers from top management. "At our stand, there was huge interest in our products. We generated 30% more contacts than in 2008, including members of top management, brand manufacturers and many potential new customers. The message from numerous  other exhibitors has been much the same. interpack has confirmed the stability of the positive economic trends," says Mr. Christian Traumann, President of interpack 2011 and Managing Director of exhibitor Multivac Sepp Haggenmüller.

Although tube-fed construction of packages is not new, this is the first time that the concept is being used to thermoform bottles from a single roll of plastic sheeting. The sheeting is cut into strips. Each strip is shaped into a tube around a blowpipe and then welded longitudinally. The tube is then heated and blown into a mould in order to create a bottle.
 From conceptualisation to the alpha machine, co-displayed here at the Serac (an investor) booth, took three years. A two-lane unit will produce about 3,000 bph and a six-lane 10,000 bph, depending on the volume of the single-serve bottles (100ml and 500ml), which must be filled in ultraclean conditions for dairy and other sensitive products. We have estimated supply chain savings of 30% to 50% because preform moulds are no longer needed. Many different types of plastic material can be used, even PLA, and there is even the possibility to multilayer and pre-print because the sheet is flat.

In general, the years since the last interpack have been very good for us, and we have built a solid foundation in end of line systems. Our stand was double the size of the one we had in 2008. Of course, we are also celebrating our 30th year. Many of our competitors are still suffering from the crisis, and some never recovered. For us, this has meant less competition, more opportunities and a bigger markAir Jordan IV 4 Running Shoes
