time. Such multi-functional solutions will increase in popularity in the future. The LEDs are controlled via a circuit board, with the battery being hidden in a hollow wall of the folding carton. Less spectacular, albeit a time-sav- ing and simplifying solution for premi- um products, is the integrated liner for folding cartons. These liners do not on- ly protect the product, but also give the impression of being high quality. The assembly process – with such a fine corrugated cardboard – is usually quite complex. However, the new solution simplifies this process by supplying the folding carton with an integrated liner. These liners can be provided in the desired colour, are printable and can come with booklets, sachets or other add-ons. Iggesund’s upgraded Invercote G (with its new coating on the reverse side) has improved printing properties – in both offset and digital – without compromising its natural feel. Thus, good printability in digital applica- tions and first-class packaging charac- teristics, in terms of designability, ma- terial stiffness and strength, can be combined. Creative ideas enhanced with sustainable solutions In this year’s PCD Awards, see page 46, the Metsä Board Skincare Box Set* received a Certificate for the Sustain- able Development and Respect of the Environment. The glueless rigid box is made using 100% recyclable paper- board, avoiding plastic wrapping; while the inner cartons provide a unique user experience. By using no glue when constructing the rigid box, drying time is eliminated, thus speeding up the manufacturing process. A PET window is inserted in the lid, but can be easily removed be- fore recycling. Corners look sharp and precise, and there are no excessive lay- ers of paperboard. If extra security is required, the lid can be spot-glued to the base, which cuts out the need for extra plastic wrapping, which is com- mon in this market segment. Favini currently supports two major international projects – a reforestation project in Uganda and one for the gen- eration of renewable energy in India. Both are aimed at offsetting the en- vironmental impact of its ecological papers Shiro and Crush.

Both are decorated with debossed and silver hotstamped ribbons. The woman’s coffret is accessorized with a Viktor & Rolf’s seal that is centred on the top. RLC’s corsage packaging, as a se- ductive product wrapping, has been inspired by ornate lingerie of the Baroque and Renaissance periods. It won the Swiss Star award and the Ger- man Packaging Award. The lacing of the corsage looks three dimensional. The one-piece construction also pro- vides a double padding to protect the contents. In spite of the unique form, between 120 and 150 corsage boxes can be quickly filled and closed in the mechanical process with existing pack- aging lines. The packaging uses GZ or GC material for an attractive appear- ance and is suitable for dispensers and flacons with a diameter of at least 25 mm. An insert can be used for small- er products. To achieve a convincing lacing effect a height of at least 100 mm is required. E-commerce changing the world of packaging With E-commerce growing, the on- line business boom also presents new challenges to packaging manufactur- ers as consumers’ first contact with the product is no longer always at the PoS. Now, integrated augmented reality tools and further add-ons play an im- portant role alongside the tactile prop- erties and construction of the packag- ing. The packaging becomes instru- mental in successfully communicating the brand’s identity and content. Edelmann, a supplier of packaging solutions made of cardboard and pa- per, offers options for multi-channel communication which relies on tech- nological concepts. In this way, the packaging assumes a totally new role. Product information in the form of moving images can be shown on a mi- ni-screen integrated into the folding carton, and there are interactive com- petitions via touch code or near-field communication (NFC). One futuristic solution is a folding carton for cosmetics with an integrated mirror and built-in LED lights in order to provide the brand with an appropri- ate lighting and to serve as a convenient tool for putting on make-up at the same Crush already features components with low environmental impact – both in terms of the materials themselves and the energy used to produce this ecological paper. For making this paper process, residues from organic prod- ucts such as citrus fruit, kiwi fruit, corn, coffee, hazelnuts, almonds, olives, cherries and lavender are used. Thus, up to 15% of the cellulose of virgin tree pulp can be replaced. It also contains 30% post-consumer recycled waste and is produced with 100% green ener- gy, which is self-generated from renew- able hydroelectric sources. In compari- son with other paper with similar char- acteristics that is made without byproducts and uses conventional en- ergy, Favini has managed to achieve a reduction of 20% in its environmental impact, in terms of greenhouse gases.
