A
s a meaningful and
defining
movement, sustainability
is too often like motherhood
and world peace—generally
beyond criticism and full of warm fuzzy sentiment to
soothe over any lingering doubts or misgivings about
de facto reality with high-brow lip service about saving the planet from its ungrateful human inhabitants.
But now that sustainability has become such a
well-entrenched part of the modern-day packaging lexicon over the last decade, there is nothing
wrong with a little scrutiny to determine just how
far CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies
and everyday consumers have come along in their
understanding, and execution, of high-minded
ideals in the numerous instances of self-serving
“greenwashing” unfolding both in corporate
boardrooms and in the shopping aisles.
And there are more than enough surprising findings and observations contained in the 2012 Tork
Report of leading global paper and tissue products
group SCA North America—aptly titled The
Sustainability Gap—to raise some eyebrows and
suggest some sobering reassessment of how far we
have progressed in reducing the industry’s carbon
footprint to date.
Good news first.
“The good news is that we are making a steady
march forward where sustainability initiatives have taken root,” the Tork Report states.
“Companies seek vendors that state their sustainability practices, offices are filled with recycling
stations, and consumers visit restaurants that promote healthy living.
“In general, consumers want to know what companies are doing in terms of sustainability.
“People don’t necessarily care how they hear
about a company’s sustainability practices—they
just want to know,” asserts the report, based on
a general adult survey of 2,114 consumers across
the U.S. and a complementary business professional survey of 1,005 U.S. professionals and 555
Canadian professionals, both conducted in late
August of 2012.
Despite the keen interest in green issues by consumers, only 31 per cent of surveyed U.S. firms
and 30 per cent of Canadian companies report
that their sustainability plans had a positive effect
on their bottom line, leading them to “question if
consumers are giving them credit for these initiatives, [since] 57 per cent of Canadian companies
and 60 per cent of Canadian companies say their
sustainability initiatives had no impact on the bottom line,” according to the Tork Report.
“One reason might be that consumers have
adopted a new set of values in how or why they
purchase: they no longer classify these decisions as
green but rather as the new normal,” the report
suggests. “Just as sustainability is in constant evolution, their definition of green has also evolved.”
While this explanation seems to be letting the
consumer off the hook rather easily, the report also
makes a valid point about a “double standard” on
the corporate side.
“Most businesses—77 per cent in the U.S. and
84 per cent in Canada—consider a vendor’s commitment to sustainability a ‘somewhat important’
factor in deciding whether to purchase products or
services from a company,” the report points out.
“Still, the pace of adding a sustainability program
into a company significantly lags the pace of seeking suppliers who have taken the step, with only
54 per cent of U.S. companies and 64 per cent of
Canadian companies saying they have sustainability programs in place.
“Is this a double standard? Or do companies realize it is an important expectation for business but
much more difficult to execute when it comes to
their own operations?”
Valid questions, and definitely deserving some
enlightening answers sooner rather than later.

SWEET NEW HONEY PACKAGE DESIGN READY TO SET GROCERY AISLES ABUZZ
NOVA PLANT BACK
TO FULL CAPACITY
Citing growing North American
market demand for packaging plastics, Calgary-headquartered petrochemicals group NOVA Chemicals
Corporation has revved up the
operations of its LDPE (low-density
polyethylene) manufacturing plant in
Moore, Ont., back to full commercial output capacity last month—just
over a year after a reactor failure idled
the plant for the first half of 2012.
“We are pleased to have our LDPE
facility fully restored—allowing us
to return to the LDPE market,” says
NOVA Chemicals senior vice-president
of polyethylene business Chris Bezaire.
“During the period between the
incident in late 2011 and now, we
committed resources and capital to
not only rebuild the reactor, but also
enhance our ability to operate more
safely and reliably, with a streamlined
product slate to better serve our customers,” Bezaire states.
Estimated to have cost the company
over $40 million in damages and lost
production, the reactor breakdown
prompted a full shutdown of the Moore
facility—manufacturer of both highdensity and low-density polyethylene
resins that are used to make shrinkwrap
films, food packaging, drums, heavyduty sacks, protective packaging, gas
containers, and caps and closures—for
the first six months of 2012, resuming
some production in the second half of
the year at significantly reduced levels.
According to NOVA Chemicals, capitalizing on growth opportunities in the
LDPE markets is a key part of the company’s NOVA 2020 long-term business
strategy developed to respond effectively
to “emerging feedstock opportunities
and growing North American demand.
“Restoring the Moore facility is
the first step in NOVA Chemicals’
plan to strengthen its commitment to
the LDPE market to better meet the
needs of customers.”

The possibilities include Billy’s Sweet Apple

with other interesting information about
honey’s history and nutritional benefits.
“The new website also includes key product and honey information, and an interactive Billy Bee Kid’s Club,” says Kristen
Heleniak, Billy Bee’s product manager
with McCormick Canada. “The Kid’s
Club offers fun Billy Bee wallpapers,
coloring pages, and a section where children can create their own personalized story
to go on an adventure with Billy Bee.
“The clean, crisp, fresh new look includes
an updated logo with arms added to Billy
Bee to give him even more personality,” says
Heleniak, complimenting the expert prepress and label printing services provided by
Toronto-based Deco Labels & Tags, ASL
Print FX of Vaughan, Ont., and the nearby
London-based Jones Packaging Inc.
“The new 375-gram bottle really brings
the lovable Billy Bee character to life,” says
Heleniak, “and is sure to be loved by kids.”
Launched across Canada last month,
the new 375-ml containers of the Koshercertified honey are shipped to Canadian

INNOVATIVE PACKAGING TRANSFORMS POPCORN BAGS INTO POP-UP SERVING BOWLS
Since taking the consumer marketplace by storm
more than 25 years ago, microwavable popcorn has
not really seen much change or innovation in the
way it is packaged, purchased, made and enjoyed
at home, whereby consumers pour the popped
corn from bags into bowls—creating more dishes
to wash—or eat it from the bags and risk having
greasy residue from the side of the bags spilling on
their hands or furniture.
But no longer—thanks to a bold new “bowl bag”
package design developed for ConAgra Foods
Canada Inc.’s Orville Redenbacher’s brand’s new
Pop Up Bowl microwavable popcorn products packaged in uniquely-designed bags that reshape themselves into stand-alone serving bowls while the
kernels are being ‘popped’ in the microwave.
Consumers simply peel back the see-through lid
of the bowl to enjoy one of the world’s most famous
and iconic popcorn products.
“When it comes to snacking, consumers are looking for something
easy, delicious and convenient,” says
Harminder Singh, Canadian brand
manager for the Orville Redenbacher’s
product family. “Popcorn is a yummy,
whole-grain snack, but it’s not always
the most conducive to easy sharing.
“With the launch of the Pop Up
Bowl, grabbing a snack and sharing it
with family and friends is a breeze,” says
Singh, calling the Pop Up Bowl the “biggest innovation in popcorn snacking since
the invention of the microwave bag.”
Singh says ConAgra is planning to transition all current varieties of its existing
regular-size microwave popcorn bags—
retailing in three-, six- and 10-packs—to
the Pop Up Bowl packaging format in the
near future, with the popular Buttery and
low-fat Smart Pop! f lavors already hitting
Canadian retail shelves last month, to be
followed soon with pending release of the
Extra Buttery, Light Buttery and Select White f lavors.
While the new packaging format is all about
making it easy for Canadian consumers to enjoy
their favorite microwavable popcorn brand, there
was nothing easy about making it a reality, says
Singh, citing “years of development” to make the
concept technically and commercially feasible.
Singh explains: “The construction of
the bowl is extremely complex—unlike
any structure ever produced before by
Orville Redenbacher’s—which resulted
in a great deal of trial, error, and research
in order to get the structure just right.
“We also required construction of a
completely new opening system using
a laser score,” Singh relates. “The
development of a brand new adhesive system also meant a great deal of
research was needed to ensure that
all materials were safe for use of this
product in the microwave.
“Finally, our filling equipment
needed to be modified a great deal
in order to actually fill the Pop Up
Bowl with popcorn kernels.”
According to Singh, “The biggest
challenge was the creation of the new
complex lamination at high speeds.
“Whereas traditional microwave popcorn bags have two layers of paper with
a susceptor patch and adhesive, the Pop Up Bowl has
almost three times the number of different elements
going into it, and it is also much more difficult to put
together due to dimensional issues.”
The Pop Up Bowl construction comprises a layer
of microwave-safe PET (polyethylene terephthalate)—combined with virgin-paper sidewalls to
accommodate printed graphics—as well as teartape with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the outside of the bag, which is used in conjunction with
a laser score to facilitate easy removal of the top of
the bag.
“There is also a susceptor patch that works to
turn microwave energy into radiant heat in order
to pop the corn,” says Singh, adding consumers

bowl taking shape inside a microwave at

PACKAGE DESIGN
THE ART OF PERSUASION
Shopper insight reveals the eight simple rules of persuasive packaging
BY MARK BALTAZAR
I
t has often been said that the
only constant is change. In
an environment where media
fragmentation is increasingly a
concern for marketers, it should be no surprise to
many in the marketing community that brands are
having a difficult time breaking through to consumers with a motivating message. Which is why
the discipline of shopper marketing has become a
hot topic in marketing circles around the world in
recent years.
One important component of a brand’s shopper
marketing program is its packaging strategy, with
packaging finally being rightfully treated as a strategic asset and managed as a valuable component of
a brand’s portfolio of assets.
In a recent BrandSpark International study,
we found that only one-third of consumers knew
exactly which brands they were going to buy on
their next visit to the grocery store. While alarming for some, this statistic points to the importance
of winning the on-shelf battle.
A product’s packaging is, in most cases, the last
opportunity a marketer has to convince the shopper that their product is superior and worth buying, compared to the many options
stocked right beside it. Packaging
can make a difference in whether a
shopper considers your product, buys
it, and even whether they are willing
to pay a premium for it.
So what are the keys to success in
the on-shelf battle?
For over 10 years, we have been
testing packaging with consumer packaged goods
shoppers through custom studies, as well as our
company’s high-profile annual Best New Product
Awards national competition. This global database of insights spans nearly every product category—providing us with a keen understanding
of what truly makes packaging a persuasive form
of marketing.
While close-up analysis of our global database
reveals many packaging design ‘best practices’ for
each major category, we have identified eight ‘universal truths’ that are applicable to any CPG (consumer packaged goods) category:
1. Less is More.
Despite most of us hearing this countless times, it
is fascinating today to still see thousands of product
packages jam-packed with the entire brand story,
all the features, some benefits, and all sorts of other
product info.
Believe me, the shoppers are not attracted by this.
In fact, because shoppers are typically looking to
complete their shopping trips as quickly as possible,
packaging that is able to communicate the product
benefits and the brand’s point-of-differentiation,
without having to be picked up, will win the sale.
2. Benefits over Features.
It never fails: every time we test packaging con-
8 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
cepts, the ones that highlight the product’s consumer benefit outperforms those that highlight
only the features of the product.
As marketers, we sometimes have the tendency
to tell consumers and shoppers alike as much as
possible about the product.
But let’s face it: most shoppers don’t care. What
they really want to know is how the product will
help and benefit them.
Therefore, leverage the back of the
package to outline any key features relevant to your differentiated product
story, but keep the front of the package
clean and clutter-free.
3. Benefit-driven Design.
The packaging design—shape, color, packaging features, etc.—must be able to clearly communicate and emphasize the product and brand
benefit.
In laundry care, for example, the main consumer
benefits are to remove stains, brighten the colors,
and whitens the whites. This would suggest packaging that is clean—being free of design and copy
clutter—and bright with vibrant colors, which also
visually ladders up the ‘whitening’ benefit.
The packaging for the Schneiders brand line of
Country Naturals all-natural meats (see
picture) was recently evaluated by
shoppers in our study, which revealed
its shelf-appeal strength stemming
from its simplicity and the use of
‘natural’ colors to provide a clear
connection to the product’s benefits.
One shopper summarized it in a
nutshell: “Simple label on package:
Not the multicolored ‘in your face!’ pitch.”
4. Bright and Vibrant.
Think of your packaging as a billboard in Times
Square: How is it going to stand out in the sea of
billboards vying for your attention and dollars?
Packages with bright colors tend to perform better than dull-colored packages more
often than not. This is your product’s
chance to put its best foot forward, so
don’t fall f lat with dull, boring colors.
One of the top performing food
packages in our database for 2012 was
Nestle’s Drumstick Bigger Nugget product, which proved to be highly successful in persuading shoppers in large
part because of its vibrant colors. Not
only do the colors make the package
stand out in the frozen-foods aisle, its
colorful vibrancy espouses associations of a fun and
great-tasting dessert. As one shopper claimed, “I
can practically taste it!”
5. Brand Breakthrough.
If you were to f lash your package in front of shoppers for less than a second, how many would be
able to correctly recall your brand?
Design packages so that your brand clearly stands
out, which is especially true if you are launching
new products under a brand with strong equity in
the marketplace.
Your brand asset needs to be leveraged to its full
extent because you will need all the leverage you
can get in this crowded marketplace.
Imagine your target shopper in the aisle of a store
being bombarded by thousands of packages, shelftalkers, merchandising displays and everything else
being thrown at them. Your brand needs to
be able to break through the clutter and
attract the attention of your target.
6. Attract your Target.
This may seem like a ‘no-brainer,’ but
what a marketer thinks is attractive may
not be what the target market thinks is
attractive. Make sure to test packaging with
your core target and those of your expanded target before making significant investments in packaging production. The degree of attractiveness is a
strong contributor to a package’s performance in
the marketplace.
7. Transparency.
Keep in mind that shoppers operate with a healthy
dose of skepticism when they are in the buying
mindset.
They don’t easily forget the disappointment of
opening a bag of chips only to find out that they
are half-full, so offering a glimpse of what’s inside
the package goes a long way to reassure the shopper that they’re getting what they are paying for.
Whether it’s a small knockout window or a fullytransparent package, you are more likely to persuade shoppers to buy your product by showing
them what’s inside.
8. Multi-use Packaging.
While this is not the primary reason shoppers will
buy your product, it definitely will tip the balance
in your favor if your packaging can be used long
after the product inside has been consumed.
In general, packages that are able to apply each
of these principles listed above will perform better than those that apply only
a few, as compellingly illustrated by
the Tide Pods packaging (see picture)
that proved to be one of the best-performing packages we recently tested.
While these principles may seem
straight forward to some, after testing
over 400 packages in North America
in 2012 alone, we know that these
principles are only being applied to
some consumer package goods—still
leaving plenty of room for improvement and a significant opportunity for brand leaders and their
packaging agencies to leverage these persuasive
techniques to win the in-store battle for a larger
share of shoppers’ wallets.

cell combines the latter’s innovative adjustablefinger gripper and KUKA’s advanced robotics and
control system to streamline the building of pallets
with mixed products and/or packaging at distribution centers by allowing users to stack up to four
cases at a time using the system’s four adjustable
fingers. According to KUKA, this combination
enables a single-robot MXRP workcell to handle
up to 1,400 cases per hour, compared to conventional cells operated by two robots at maximum
speeds of about 1,000 cases per hour. Boasting patented Flex Strap technology that makes it possible
to position adjustable fingers at different levels to
grip, stock and load cases on top of uneven layers, the cell’s control system can adjust each finger independently, horizontally or vertically, and
move the forks left or right for optimal spacing to
accommodate up to six forks. The end result is a
denser, more store-friendly mixed pallet that can
be wheeled right off the truck into the store aisles
for overnight reshelving.

PURE POWDER TRIP
Designed for filling up to 33 plastic bags per minute,
the new ADAMS 12 powder filling machine from
Haver Filling Systems, Inc. is equipped with
12 filling spouts that synchronize bag operations
with the specified filling speed to ensure continuous high-speed production. The film reel begins the
cycle by feeding a plastic film tube inside ADAMS
12 to form the empty bags, which are then continuously placed onto the rotating filling spouts that fill
the bags to selected capacity from 10 up to 94 pounds
of product, after which a vibrating unit compacts
the product for a tight fit and brick-like load stability
FORM AND FUNCTION
The new XPdius i-130 vertical form-and-seal
machine from WeighPack Systems, Inc. boasts
a host of toolless features designed to save a lot of
valuable time when loading film, replacing pull
belts and doing bag width changeovers, according to the company, while facilitating easy access
to the front, back and inside of the frame for
maintenance and servicing. Incorporating two
Panasonic servomotors and drives on the pull
belt assembly and horizontal seal jaws to ensure
total control over acceleration, deceleration and
positioning—with the horizontal seal jaw speed
fully-adjustable to travel in and out from as little
as one up to 6.5 inches—the stroke opening of the
seal jaws can be quickly recalled as a storable parameter from the machine’s PLC (programmable
logic controller) when running a broad range
of bag thicknesses. Handling bags from 2.5- to
13-inches-wide, and bag lengths from two to 18
inches, the XPdius i-130 machine offers a range
of performance-enhancing standard features
such as a cantilevered
air film shaft, which
eliminates side chucks
to hold film in place
and facilitates fast film
roll reloading, as well
as a splicing table with
a special film-clamping
mechanism to eliminate
the need to thread new rolls of film through the
rollers.

U.S. GROCER MAPS OUT A CLEAR VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
While some consumer packaging may admittedly
be more difficult to recycle than others, such
obstacles are really an opportunity in disguise for
companies like Clearly Clean Products, LLC,
which has recently developed what it claims to
be the world’s first recyclable MAP (modifiedatmosphere packaging) tray for fresh meat,
poultry, entrées and kebobs.
Already approved for food-contact use by the
FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
in the U.S., the new MAP trays—made from the
same rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate)
plastic material as water bottles—use a special patented, printed liner that provides sufficient barrier protection to help packaged meats maintain
effective shelf-life, which is then easily peeled off
the tray after use at home to make the tray ready
to go into the recycling bin.
A few months ago, Sunbury, Penn.-headquartered
supermarket chain Weis Markets Inc. replaced
the traditional lid-sealed plastic meat trays with the
Clearly Clean MAP trays (see picture) across all of
the 162 grocery stores it operates in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New Jersey, New York and
West Virginia as part of its companywide sustainability drive.
“This new packaging program
underscores our strong commitment
to adopting sustainable practices to
minimize our impact on the environment,” says Weis Markets sustainability manager
Patti Olenick, adding the recyclability of the new
trays make them far preferable to traditional foam
and lid-sealed plastic trays.
“We are continually increasing our conservation efforts, providing recycling opportunities for
both our associates and customers, and evaluating our store designs to meet with our standards
for environmental leadership and stewardship,”
Olenick states.
“We strive to lead by example, helping to
make a significant difference in our
communities.”
According to the South Windsor,
Conn.-based Clearly Clean, the
new trays are simple for most processors to seal using existing sealing
equipment.
Says Clearly Clean president Jeff Maguire:
“Clearly Clean is proud to be able to help companies extend their sustainability focus from the
farm to the store to the home, and Weis Markets
is a great example of a company that has embraced
this concept.”
ECO-LABELED TETRA PAK CARTONS TAKING OFF ACROSS GLOBAL MARKETS
Leading aseptic packaging products manufacturer
Tetra Pak estimates that more than 20 billion of
its signature paperboard beverage and liquid-food
cartons sold worldwide last year carried the universally recognized FSC (Forest Stewardship
Council) eco-labels indicating the paperboard
used to make those boxes comes from responsibly
managed forestlands—more than double the 8.5
billion FSC-certified Tetra Pak cartons sold in
2010.
“With more consumers and retailers
demanding environmentally-sound and
ethically-produced products, brands that
carry the FSC label can attest that their
products are packaged using material
that has passed the toughest standards
of responsible forest management,” says
Tetra Pak’s vice-president of marketing
and product management Charles Brand.
Since the launch of the very first FSCcertified Tetra Paks in 2007 by the U.K.based supermarket chain Sainsbury’s (see picture),
the company’s eco-labeled drink boxes have been
embraced by retailers and brand-owners in 39
countries, including Canada and the U.S., China,
and across Europe and South America.
Last year, for example, about 1.8 billion Tetra
Pak cartons sold in Argentina carried the FSC
label—representing over 70 per cent of all Tetra
Pak packages shipped to the country—while
the Benelux countries of Belgium, Holland and
Luxembourg sold a total of 1.2 FSC-labeled Tetra
Pak boxes, or about 60 per cent of the total.
“More and more customers express concerns about the environment every day,
hence the inclusion of the FSC logo on
our milk packages contributes positively
both to the brand image of our products
and to public environmental awareness,”
says Marcelo Magni, marketing and business development manager with prominent Argentinian dairy producer Williner.
“The FSC label provides proof that our
packages meet the highest industry standards in terms of the use of renewable
raw materials, which allows our customers to
choose responsibly.”
Taco Kingma, manager of sustainable busi-
ness with the Dutch-based dairy cooperative
FrieslandCampina, agrees.
“Consumers are increasingly looking at the
environmental profile of the products they purchase,” Kingma states, “and we have set clear
goals on making our packaging more sustainable.
“The FSC certification for our paperboard
packaging is a major step in this development.”
According to a recent survey of 6,600 consumers in 10 countries conducted by Euromonitor
for Tetra Pak, nearly half of respondents said the
absence of information about the environmental
profile of a packaged product was an issue in their
purchasing behavior, with about the same number saying they find on-pack eco-logos helpful
in understanding the environmental impact of
beverage packages.
Says FSC business development director
Marcelle Peuckert: “By displaying FSC labelling on their packages, Tetra Pak is helping raise
awareness of the important role that responsible
forest management plays in ensuring the economic, social and environmental viability of one
of the earth’s richest resources.”
UNIQUE FILM OFFERS A NATURAL WAY TO HIT THE PACKAGING SWEET SPOT
Few foods are as universally loved around the
globe as chocolate, which unfortunately makes
chocolate bar wrappers one of the most commonplace pieces of trash at landfills all over the world.
But it doesn’t have to be that way if more leading chocolate producers follow in the steps of
the Italian organic foods consortium Alce Nero
Mielizia SpA, which has recently switched the
packaging for its Alce Nero brand of fair-trade
chocolate bars to the compostable NatureFlex
metallized film developed by U.K.-based
Innovia Films.
Manufactured from wood pulp sourced from
certified managed plantations, the cellulose-based
NatureFlex film is engineered to break down at
the end of its life-cycle in either home compost
bins or industrial compost environment within a
matter of weeks.
According to Innovia, NatureFlex also provides
good packaging and converting attributes such as
inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, high
gloss, superior resistance to grease and oil, a good
barrier to gases, aromas and mineral oils, and a
wide heat-seal range.
For Alce Nero, which sources its cocoa from
organically-grown plants in Costa Rica and
harvested there by the COOP Sin Fronteras
network of independent fair-trade producers,
switching to the compostable wrapper is a logical
expression of the company’s earnest commitment
to organic farming and fair-trade principles it has
championed right since its 1978 startup.
“The metallized NatureFlex from Innovia Films
was a perfect fit for us due not only to its environmental attributes, but also its excellent barrier
properties that keep our organic Fair Trade chocolate in premium condition,” says Alce Nero’s marketing manager Nicoletta Maffini.
“That’s why we decided to move from standard
plastic to a biodegradable and compostable alterna-
tive to wrap our chocolate bars.”
Boasting about 95-percent renewable bio-based
content, the NatureFlex
films are certified to meet
the U.S. ASTM D6400,

able for emerging ‘wasteto-energy’ techniques such as anaerobic digestion.
“Our metallized NatureFlex film is used to
good effect by Alce Nero because it fits in
with their brand image, protects the product,
and is fully compostable,” adds Innovia Films

SOUP KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
Iconic soupmaker blazing a hot new trail in the comfort foods
marketplace with cutting-edge aseptic packaging competencies
BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR
PHOTOS BY COLE GARSIDE
I
f a good soup is really a natural product of a pure
heart, as musical genius Ludwig Van Beethoven
once eulogized for the ages, then you can rest
assured that people at the Campbell Company
of Canada plant in west-end Toronto have their
hearts in the right place in a big way indeed.
First opening its doors in 1931 as the first foreign subsidiary of Camden, N.J.-headquartered
canned soup giant Campbell Soup Company,
the venerable soupmaker not only boasts a rich
history of product innovation, cooking expertise
and iconic brands that have virtually made it the
country’s unofficial national soup kitchen, but also
a keen competitive mindset combined with a formidable grasp of cutting-edge modern production
and packaging technologies that help maintain its
status as one of Canada’s most successful and progressive food manufacturers on a daily basis.
Which is no small feat when you’re shipping
about a billion cans of a broad variety of condensed
and read-to-serve soups each year to Canadian
consumers coast-to-coast, along with fueling a
growing export business at a healthy pace thanks
to the plant’s unique manufacturing competencies
and relentless focus on product development and
packaging innovation.
“We make a million cans of mushroom soup
daily, one day a week, 50 weeks a year—so that’s
a total 50 million cans per year for the Canadian
consumers, just the mushroom soup alone,” says
Campbell’s youthful 45-year-old Toronto plant
manager David Schelter, who joined the company
in 1999 as a maintenance engineer after obtaining
a mechanical engineering degree from Ryerson
University in Toronto.
Full Fill
“And we do that by still using a 35-year-old filler,
which we have upgraded over the years to enable it
to run the Cream of Mushrooms soup brand at 1,200
cans per minute,” Schelter told Canadian Packaging
on a recent visit to the company’s 550,000-squarefoot multibuilding production and warehousing
complex near the Lake Ontario shoreline in the
city’s mostly residential west-end neighborhood of
upscale houses, neat tree-lined streets, and pockets
of glitzy newly-built condo towers.
One of five soup canning plants operated by
Campbell Soup Company in North America, the
sole Canadian production facility produces all the
popular 7.5-, 10-, 14-, 19-, 28- and 48-ounce can
sizes of f lagship Campbell’s brand family of soups for
the entire Canadian market, explains Schelter, with
about 20 per cent of its output currently exported to
the U.S. and some other niche foreign markets such
as Hong Kong and, until recently, Great Britain.
“There is now a brand new line being tooled up
at the Campbell’s plant in Germany which will
supply the important U.K. market,” says Schelter,
“but until recently all the production for the U.K.
was done here.
“Being able to produce unique sizes and unique
product recipes is very important for a plant like
ours because we are by far the smallest of Campbell
Soup Company’s thermal plants, with our U.S. plants
producing at least twice the volume of our production capacity,” says Schelter, explaining the “healthy
competition for volume” between the different therContinues on page 16

mal facilities, also comprising canning operations in
Maxton, N.C., Paris, Tex., and Napoleon, Ohio.
“Because the U.S. plants enjoy volume capacities
two to four times our size, faster-running lines and
lower labor costs compared to ours, having unique
capabilities like shorter runs, faster changeovers
and unique specialty products are key for us in
obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage of our own,” Schelter explains.
“For example, we are the only plant to produce
the vending machine-size 7.5-ounce cans, which
are sold in both Canadian and the U.S. markets,”
he points out. “We are also pretty unique in having the marketing, product development, and the
R&D kitchen all done under one roof, so that the
chefs can share tips and info with R&D team to
develop new product quickly and effectively.
“And naturally, there have been a lot of incremental improvements implemented over the years
to improve efficiencies, reduce liabilities, rationalize
production, and do all those other things we need to
do to keep our costs competitive here in Canada.”
Running a busy three-shift, 24-hour, six-days-aweek operating schedule, the landmark complex—
situated on a dozen acres of urban real estate—has
undergone a series of major upgrades and expansions over the years: most recently a 1985 completion of a brand new building originally designed and
tooled for the production of Campbell’s bestselling
V8 brand of vegetable juice and Prego pasta sauces.
But after that juice production was transferred to
the Napoleon plant in early 1990s, the new building suddenly found itself desperately lacking for
work, Schelter relates: “When I started here in
1999, the whole area was mostly just a storage and
warehouse space.”
That all changed dramatically in 2003, when Schelter
led a team through the opening stage of the building’s
multimillion-dollar conversion into a dedicated aseptic processing and packaging facility—opening up
vast new market opportunities for the Toronto plant
in the growing global marketplace for shelf-stable,
aseptically-packaged beverages and liquid foods.
While aseptic packaging was not an entirely
new notion to the globally-operating Campbell
Soup Company worldwide at the time—having already operated successful aseptic packaging
lines in Australia and France for a number of
years—the 2003 installation of the first high-speed
Combibloc aseptic filling line at the Toronto
facility was a major game-changer for Campbell’s
North American business traditionally associated with metal cans, as immortalized by Andy
Warhol’s famed 1962 painting of the enduringly
iconic Campbell’s Tomato Soup can.
Leap of Faith
“Our aseptic business has been growing in leaps
and bounds ever since we started out on our aseptic
journey in 2003,” says Schelter, relating that the
line was originally intended for a relatively lowvolume, limited production of liquid broth products for the Canadian market.
“But in less than 10 years, this small f ledgling
project became a fast-growing business that just
took off big-time,” says Schelter, describing the
subsequent phased-in installations of a high-speed
Tetra Pak TBA 3 Flex Brik aseptic filler and
three more state-of-the art aseptic fillers manufactured in Germany by aseptic packaging specialists
SIG Combibloc.
“Our first line ran well but we only ran it in season, one shift, three-days-a-week, with about six

to seven people,” Schelter recalls. “Today we have
two full production lines running 24-hours-a-day,
seven-days-a-week” to produce aseptic cartons of
soups, broths, stocks, purées, and a fast-growing
range of other innovative and specialty products
packed in attractive aseptic paperboard cartons that
Canadian are proving to be very fond of.
Nowadays fully living up to its formal ACC
(Aseptic Centre of Canada) moniker adopted
from employee suggestions, the state-of-the-art,
climate-controlled, HEPA-filtered and fully airconditioned aseptic operation also operates its own
dedicated R&D and lab to accelerate the product
development of bold new innovative products such
as the recently-launched Campbell’s Stock First line
of premium-quality stocks.

and product development skills, along with great
new manufacturing skills,” says Schelter, “while
also creating dozens of new jobs at the plant.
“There are about 70 to 80 full-time employees
who would not be here today if we didn’t make
these aseptic products,” says Schelter, “and at the
moment we are the only Campbell facility in
North America able to make them.
“To my knowledge, we are the also the first, and
possibly the only plant in Canada to be able to do
aseptic particulate products with half-inch and
three-quarter-inch food chunks in them, thanks to
our Combibloc equipment.”
States Schelter: “The multimillion-dollar investment made in 2003 and 2006 in both Combi and
Tetra Pak packaging equipment has kept the plant
modernized and supported the launch of many exciting aseptic products, including the latest—our 900-ml
V8 Splash juice and 480-ml Campbell’s Stock First.
“Stock First is an amazing product that makes
it easy even for me to make simple sauces,” he
chuckles. “I just add grated cheese to our Stock
First Cream sauce and voilà—a great cheese sauce
to pour over broccoli.”
Acknowledging the high level of competition
in the aseptic markets between Tetra Pak and
One of several high-speed Mettler-Toledo Safeline metal detection systems employed in the plant’s vegetable preparation
area to remove any foreign particles and impurities from the freshly-sliced produce headed towards the cooking kettles.
SIG Combibloc, the ACC operation keeps the
two company’s respective filling lines in separate
rooms, Schelter explains, adding that he is equally
impressed with the production capabilities and
final product quality delivered by both.
The key, according to Schelter, is using each of the
two technologies for the right product—as determined by market needs and processing efficiencies.
Hence, the high-speed Tetra Pack filling line—
running at robust filling rate of 7,000 cartons per
minute—is used primarily for long-run production of 32- and 48-ounce Tetra Brik cartons of
broth products for the vast U.S. market, where
this packaging format is showing very promising
demand growth.
Time Change
On the other hand, the Tetra Pak line is less wellsuited for short- and mid-volume run production because of the time-consuming changeovers
required to switch from one carton size to another.
“It takes about a week to do a changeover between
the two sizes,” says Schelter. “It really is a major conversion, almost like doing a full equipment overhaul.
“Just completing the CIP (clean-in-place) procedures takes about five hours, and even after the
changeover is done, it usually takes about a week of
production to get back to full production speed.”
In contrast, switching between 500-ml and 250ml drink cartons on Combibloc equipment—
typically running at 6,000 cartons per hour—is
done in about an hour with a few straightforward
mechanical adjustments on the filling machine to
accommodate the selected carton heights.
To maximize this f lexibility, the ACC typically
runs two of the three Combibloc CB606 fillers to
produce various broths, and thicker food-particulate
products like purées, for both Canada and the U.S.
Situated at the far end of the Combi room, the
higher-speed Combibloc CB510 model filler is used
primarily for long-run production of broth products.
While both Tetra Pak and Combibloc cartons
effectively guarantee at least one-year shelf life for the
shelf-stable contents inside them, there is a significant
difference in the way that the packaging material is
formed, filled and capped, Schelter explains.
“With Tetra Pak, the paperboard stock comes in
continuous rolls that are loaded onto the machine
and formed into a continuous tube, which is then
washed in hydrogen-peroxide to sterilize the package, filled inside the machine’s aseptic zone, and
sealed ultrasonically via special jaws right through
the liquid inside the package.
“It’s a great, highly-efficient machine for liquid
operations,” he states, “but the way it seals makes
it unusable for large particulate products because if
any solid gets in the way of sealing, you are risking
a bridged seal.”
Conversely, the Combibloc cartons are supplied as
pre-printed paperboard sleeves that are formed into
their square-bottom shapes and filled with product
“like an open container to the right level, making
sure that no particulate gets in the way of the seal.
“The filler has two stages, so that you can fill
it with the heavy garnish and liquid separately or
mix it up if you need to, and the filled sleeve goes
on to the aseptic stone, which seals and forms the
top of the box,” he explains.
As for capping, the Tetra Pak plastic caps are
applied after the filled cartons emerge from the
machine with a thin tear-off aluminum foil layer
positioned right where the cap is to be attached
directly on top of it, whereas the Combi pressthrough plastic enclosures are attached onto the
tops of filled cartons inline at the filler.

COVER STORY
The high-speed conveyor lines at the soup canning plant
are powered by high-efficiency SEW-Eurodrive motors.
Manufactured by Intelligrated, the fully-automatic Alvey 800 series palletizers use the signature-blue CHEP pallets to
form high and stable product loads of Campbell’s soup cans tightly packed inside corrugated shipping trays.
But for all their subtle differences, Schelter prefers to emphasize the common benefits that Tetra
Pak and Combibloc aseptic systems jointly offer
to the consumer marketplace—one-year product
shelf-life without refrigeration until after opening the pack—and significant reductions in product preparation time, compared to the traditional
canning methods.
Schelter explains: “The heat-based thermal process takes about 20 to 40 minutes to make a can of
soup, whereby you blend the soup, fill that can, put
the lid on it, and then cook it under pressure.
“For aseptic packaging, the blending is almost the
same, but you sterilize the product and heat it first,
and then you fill it in a clean aseptic environment
in one step that takes about a minute to 90 seconds,
depending on the product,” he says.
“So you have really fast cook time, a much more
energy-efficient process and fresher-tasting soup.”
That said, aseptic packages still account for a relatively smallish portion of the Toronto plant’s total
output, with the shiny new steel cans—manufactured by Silgan Container Corporation—arriv-
ing in massive palletized stacks from the Napoleon
and Paris sister-plants in regular JIT (just-in-time)
rotation to keep the canning operations running
smoothly around-the-clock.
“All of our U.S. plants have a canmaking plant
attached to them, operated by Silgan, but we don’t
have that here,” says Schelter.
“So we quickly depalletize the cans and send
them to the production f loor via an overhead
bridge to be readied for filling on one of the seven
high-speed packaging lines on the second f loor.”
At any given time, there are at least four different soup recipes being “cooked” and filled in the
plant’s expansive blending area equipped with nine
massive fillers and 10 large cooking kettles coupled
side-by-side in five cooking stations that simultaneously dispense the finished product from one
kettle to the fillers while stating the cooking cycle
in the other.
This operation is meticulously monitored by
well-trained line operators, called ‘cooks,’ who
keep a close eye on the kettles and control the
entire process via a swing-arm HMI (human-
machine interface) touchscreen terminal.
“The cooks are there to monitor the mixing
of ingredients, cook time, and all the other preprogrammed steps and recipes to make sure our
sequenced batching process, going back-and-forth
between the two kettles, is running as it should at
all times,” says Schelter.
“We make four different soups at a time in the
can plant, and changing the product over five times
a day makes that 20 different soups being produced
here daily,” says Schelter.
“But our real big sellers, like the Cream of
Mushroom soup, just run all day long.”
Such fast-paced production environment naturally requires daily morning deliveries of key raw
ingredients—fresh bulk potatoes, carrots, celery,
mushrooms, etc.—from select domestic farmers
to the plant’s vegetable preparation area, where
the bulk veggies are visually inspected and properly spaced out on the conveying belt by a pair of
plant employees positioned on either side of the
conveyor, where they also remove any obviously
unfit or deformed pieces of produce off the line
before they reach automatic slicers that
peel and dice bulk product to the preprogrammed size and shape.

COVER STORY
Finished pallets are transferred by heavy-duty rollers inside the rotary-ring Octopus stretchwrapping system.
“The metal detector also keeps a log of all product passing through the piping on the way to the
fillers, including time and date, in the system to
give us perfect, logged-in product traceability in
case of any problems.”
Even after the product has been filled, canned
and labeled, all the cans still go through a highspeed X-Ray inspection system manufactured
by Eagle Product Inspection—distributed in
Canada by PLAN Automation—as part of the
plant’s uncompromising food safety and quality
assurance regimen.
This meticulous attention to detail and quality
control is well-displayed on the canning facility’s
seven packaging lines and their respective and labeling stations—each outfitted with Cognex visual
inspection systems to verify that the filled cans are
in perfect shape and properly labeled, and that each
can is marked with a proper product code applied by
an inkjet coder onto the bottom of each can.
“Every can gets a special code, intended for our
internal use, which tells what blending systems and
kettles the product ran on, which filler and which
packaging line,” he explains. “Knowing exactly
when it was made at the plant, and so that we can
easily trace the can right back to the exact piece of
equipment for full traceability for each can.
“The vision equipment is used to double-check
each can code to make sure that we have the right
code on the right can and that it matches the barcode label applied to it, so that each can of Cream
of Mushroom has a Cream of Mushroom label on
it, with the matching barcode.”
All this proactive diligence is suitably rewarded
with top-level quality control performance,
according to Schelter.
“About 95 per cent of rejects identified by the
Cognex system actually turn out to be ‘false rejects,’
with the biggest single issue being slightly damaged
cans,” he relates. “In those cases, we puncture the
can, it goes through a shredder, the metal is recycled,
and the contents are used for organic waste.
“If it’s a mild reject and the product is still fit for
consumption but not quite right for consumers at
the store level, say a crooked label or some other
mild visual defect, those are donated to the Food
Bank collection depot next door, says Schelter, adding the Campbell is one of the largest donors to the
Food Banks Canada organization—donating
over one million pounds of product annually.
While such strict quality control may seem overthe-top, Schelter asserts it’s an integral part of the
company’s overall ethos to provide consumers with
the highest-quality nutritious product possible.
“Since this vision equipment has been put in we
find maybe one wrong can a year on average,”
he says, “but that’s still important to us because
it means one less dissatisfied customer out there.”
This strict quality control regime even extends
into the end-of-line packaging area, where every
palletized load has one case randomly removed for
further close-up inspection.
“We then put these ‘set-asides’ into the incubator at a high temperature and open it up after five
days to determine if there’s any kind of a challenge
to the system we should be addressing,” Schelter
relates, “and we do it for every single product.”
The plant’s highly-automated end-of-line packaging area is an imposing sight, with seven fullyautomatic Alvey 800 palletizing systems constantly
creating a wide assortment of palletizing patterns
to erect highly-stacked pallet loads of Norampacmade corrugated shipping cartons of canned product on the signature-blue CHEP pallets—in both

buzzing around the busy facility operating in classic
JIT mode.
“Everything made here gets shipped out the same
day,” says Schelter. “We have a distribution center in Brampton that stores product for the eastern
market and one in Calgary for the western market,
and we ship product there all day long because we
really don’t have much space for storage here.
“So if there is some kind of a serious problem to
prevent us from shipping the product from here,
like a big ice storm, we would literally have to shut
our production in about six hours—that’s how
much of a buffer we have due to the sheer volume
of product that we pump out each day.”

ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR
W
hen former U.S. president Herbert
Hoover once famously promised “a
chicken in every pot” during his winning election campaign back in 1928, he may well
have been far ahead of his time—especially in light
of the looming Great Depression that made his
promise ring tragically hollow in the years to follow.
But with the benefit of more than seven decades of continuous advances and innovation in the
farming, processing and packaging industries, the
ready availability of chicken meat as an easy-tocook, tasty and affordable meal option across much
of the modern world is a matter-of-fact that most
modern-day consumers tend to take for granted.
According to the recent biennial Food Outlook
report from the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations
(UN), worldwide production of poultry meat was
expected to reach 103.5 million metric tonnes in
2012—a 1.8-percent increase from the year before.
While historical evidence suggests that domesticated chicken has been a part of mankind’s diet
for the past 7,000 to 10,000 years, its widelyembraced role as a commodity dinner staple is
in fact a fairly recent development in the broader
historical context.
Aside from North America’s historically high
consumption of eggs, it wasn’t really until the
middle of the 20th century that large-scale chicken
farming and processing eventually replaced what
was until then a largely casual enterprise.
Advances in science and technology helped bring
chicken production and industrial-scale chicken
farms to the forefront with development of better feed, infused with antibiotics and vitamins, that
allowed the chicks to be raised indoors—away from
predators and inclement weather—while being fed a
controlled diet to create a pluckier, protein-rich bird.
This evolution in turn laid solid foundations for a
massive and intensely competitive poultry processing industry pitting multinational agrifood conglomerates against countless small-sized operators
in direct competition for the consumers’ grocery
budgets, especially in North America.
And while conventional wisdom suggests that
size and economies of scale should easily favor the
industry’s big boys, there are still many small and
adaptive companies—like the Toronto-based York
Chicken Products Limited—who happily defy
that logic on a daily basis.
Founded 22 years ago, York Chicken primarily
focuses on supplying retail grocery customers with
bone-in and boneless chicken thighs, drumsticks,
breasts and other portioned cuts packaged and
sealed in foam trays, as well as whole birds.
Chicken Run
Also supplying vacuum-sealed whole turkeys for
seasonal holidays and special occasions, the company processes and packages an estimated 4.6 million kilograms of poultry per year, according to
president and owner Rui Rocha.
Nowadays employing 37 full-time people on a
one-shift, five-days-a-week production schedule,
York Chicken has come a long way since its fairly
auspicious beginnings. Although it was originally
conceived as a partnership, Rocha found himself to
be its sole owner within three months of startup.
“While it’s unfortunate that this partnership
wasn’t able to work out, once the other partner sold
me his ownership stake, I found myself in a position of being able to make every one of my ideas a
reality,” Rocha relates.
“But before I could even do that, a truckload of
my chicken was stolen on what was to be my first
day of business as a sole owner, so I was off to a
really ‘great start’ from the outset,” he chuckles.
Despite early startup pains, Rocha’s perseverance
and commitment paid off handsomely over the years,
as evidenced by a series of moves and expansions to
accommodate steady growth in production volumes.
“When we first started out, we only had a tiny
1,400-square-foot facility that we actually shared
with another company,” recounts Rocha.
“Soon after that, we moved to an 18,000-squarefoot rented plant, before purchasing our own
10,500-square-foot production facility.
The Fabbri Model 55 Plus stretch wrapper produces low-cost, tightly-sealed tray-packs that keep chicken looking fresh.

“We moved into our current 40,000-square-foot
home in the west-end of Toronto five years ago,”
Rocha told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit
to the spanking clean, HACCP (Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Points)-recognized facility in westend Toronto that earned full SQF (Safe Quality
Food) 2000 certification earlier this year.
“We are very pleased with the recent SQF achievement at our plant,” says general manager Brian Smith.
“We realize that this is something customers are definitely going to expect from their food processors.
“For us, obtaining the SQF certification provides
a good way to assure grocery retailers that all the
food we pack is processed and handled in full com-

pliance with the highest food safety standards in
the industry,” says Smith, adding that all products
processed at York Chicken are sourced exclusively
from Canadian farms.
“Part of our SQF certification means knowing
where our chickens are coming from, as well as
knowing exactly how we are handling them from
the point-of-entry, portioning, packing and storage right until we deliver them to our customers,”
Smith explains.
“Along with providing us with a measure of confidence in our product, we know it also does the
same for our customers and consumers—making
sure they can trust York Chicken to supply them
with a quality product every time.”
Double Act
The York Chicken plant currently operates two
production lines to package its products—one
for tray-packs and the other for sealed plastic
bags—which are continuously upgraded with
modern production and packaging systems to optimize the company’s production efficiencies and
cost-competitiveness.
Earlier this year, Smith relates, York Chicken
turned to the Burlington, Ont.-based Reiser
Canada—Canadian subsidiary of leading U.S.headquartered meat-processing and packaging
machine-builder Reiser—to improve production
f low on the company’s tray-packing line.
The signature blue wood pallets supplied to the plant by
CHEP Canada are used by York Chicken to transport packed
product to its retail customers.
Having spent decades working in the food business, York Chicken operations manager Paul
Rutherford says his knowledge of Reiser equipment goes way back.
“While it is true that Reiser puts out really highquality machines, what really sealed the deal for
us was their ability to provide prompt after-sales
service,” relates Rutherford.
“We really cannot afford to have too much downtime in our business,” he states, “so Reiser’s speedy
ability to provide us with a service technician to
help us out whenever we require one was definitely
an important factor in selecting their equipment.”
Installed by Reiser last summer, the new Gruppo
Fabbri Model 55 Plus stretch film wrapper provides
the York Chicken plant with an effective means to
produce tightly-wrapped tray-packs that keep the
chicken products looking fresh and attractive on
retail shelves.
“Using film supplied by Bunzl Canada, the
Fabbri 55 Plus adds an overwrap of stretchfilm
over the product and the pre-formed trays we purchase from Packpro Systems,” Rutherford reveals.
Although York Chicken runs the high-speed
Fabbri 55 Plus at a rate of 50 trays per minute,
the system it is capable of wrapping 55 packs a
minute—hence the machine’s moniker.
Employees hand-place portioned chicken pieces
onto a foam tray and move it onto a conveyor line,
which transports the trays a short distance to the
Fabbri 55 Plus tray-packer.
“It really is quite simple to use,” Rutherford
extols. “An operator-friendly control panel with
a full-size screen allows us to select a pre-programmed operation and away it goes.
“It’s just that simple,” says Rutherford, pointing out that the machine’s noncontinuous mode of
operation means that it only moves when there is
an actual tray on the line to be wrapped—translating in energy savings and reduced noise levels.
“It also utilizes advanced electronics that ensure
optimal reliability and performance, while eliminating cams and chains in its design—meaning that
the machine parts aren’t liable to wear out easily,”
explains Rutherford. “And its large reel of film is easily swapped out—resulting in minimal downtime.”

The marking of best-before dates and the Federal Establishment number directly onto the stretch film wrapped tightly
around the portioned product is expertly handled by Markem-Imaje’s model S8 Classic small-character inkjet printer.
A Bizerba GV weigher-labeler is used to weigh the
product and print-and-apply an adhesive label containing
product name, price per kilogram, best-before date and
company data directly onto the tray-pack film surface.
Along with the Fabbri wrapper, York Chicken
recently purchased a Reiser Loader VI-B column
dumper, which Rutherford hopes to have up-andrunning in early 2013.
After the packed trays are heat-sealed by the Fabbri
55 Plus, they move along a conveyor past a Bizerba
model GV weigher-labeler, which quickly applies a
thermal label to the face of the pack.
“We retail-price everything here,” explains
Rutherford. “We check the weight of the product
and, based on the specified pricing per kilogram,
the Bizerba GV adds the price to the label, as well
as the net weight, price per kilogram, best-before
date, our company information and the product
description—all in English and French.
“To avoid bottlenecks in the production line, the
Bizerba GV has to do it at a very fast speed, which
it does very, very well.
“It’s a very impressive machine, which is why we
have two of them—one for each line,” he notes.
According to Rutherford, 80 per cent of York
Chicken’s output is packaged in tray-packs, with
the remainder bagged by the plant’s Emplex MPS
7000 bagger, manufactured by PlexPack, and
labeled by the second GV model weigher-labeler
with the same product info as the tray-packs.
For product going directly to retail stores, Smith
says York Chicken “prices the product with our
white label with our establishment number,
weight, best-before date, etc.
“For product going to a customer’s warehouse,
we do not price the product because that’s done
later at the store, but we must stamp the film of the
product with the best-before date and our Federal
Establishment number,” he explains, noting that
the film is coded by a Markem-Imaje S8 Classic
small-character inkjet printer.
Smith says that a lot number is placed onto every
corrugated master carton which, depending on
the product, can contain between eight to 12 traypacks inside. While individual packages do not
contain a lot number, Smith says the production
date is fully traceable by its best-before date.
After labeling, both the tray and bagged lines
feed product to a master carton room to be hand-
packed into corrugated master containers, made
by Rock-Tenn, before moved to storage, where a
night crew does order-picking for morning shipment to customers.
As part of York Chicken’s SQF certification,
ensuring the equipment and facility are kept clean
and sanitized is of paramount importance, which is
why it has set up eight recently purchased Diversey
cleaning stations.
“The Diversey cleaners do a great job in helping us
sanitize our machines and tables—providing us with
gentle but effective cleaning detergents and tools to
ensure our products are being processed in a safe and
secure manner for our customers,” Smith notes.
Fresh Outlook
Smith says that unlike in the frozen-food segment,
the fresh chicken business moves at a very high pace,
and that the speed of business makes keeping track of
the f low of product a very important requirement.
“Full traceability of our products is something
we are quite proud of,” asserts Smith. “We utilize
an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system to
provide real-time production data.”
Developed by the Brampton, Ont.-based
Minotaur Software, the robust ERP software
provides York Chicken with full seamless control
over its own external and internal systems, including processing, packaging, picking, transportation,

sales, finance, administration, and even customer
relationship management.
“In addition to a full-time CFIA (Canadian
Food Inspection Agency) officer on our premises,
the ERP is full of checks and balances that help us
ensure that we process and pack safe and tasty meat
for the consumers,” relates Smith.
“Because York Chicken is primarily in the fresh
business, both speed and safety are important factors,
as we have to receive the product, process it, pack it
and ship it on a very tight schedule,” sums up Smith.
“That’s why high-quality production machinery,
like Reiser’s Fabbri 55 Plus stretchfilm wrapper and
the Bizerba weigher-labelers—combined with our

WRAPPED UP FOR GOOD
A shrinkwrapper provides food safety reassurance for corrugated end-users
ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR
L
ike it or not, the issue of food safety continues
to be a hot-button topic with consumers
around the world concerned about just what
exactly ends up on their dinner plates on their table
at dinnertime and, for better worse, it is likely to
continue as such for the foreseeable future.
To that extent, the packaging and processing
industry as a whole tends to look at every aspect of
a food product as it makes its way into the hands
of the consumer—making sure the proper safety
protocols are in place and followed to the letter
to avoid embarrassing, costly or deadly product
recalls on the account of allergies, contaminants,
irradiation, or poor packaging and product handling practices.
And while most Canadians consumers tend to
have faith that the products they eat are prepared
within a safe environment, from time to time that
faith has been severely tested.
Although last year’s highly-publicized E. coli
(Escherichia coli) outbreak traced to the XL Foods
meat-processing plant in Brooks, Alta., was directly linked to ‘only’ 18 confirmed illnesses, its
other unintended consequences were staggering
in their impact—leading to temporary loss of
employment for thousands of workers throughout
the beef industry’s supply chain, an all-out vilification of the Canadian meat-processing sector,
having more than 2,000 products being pulled
off the retail shelves across Canada, and another
black eye for the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency (CFIA).
As XL Foods is responsible for the slaughter of
some 40 per cent of all Canadian cattle, the cow
manure did indeed hit the fan.
With XL Foods accounting for such a large percentage of the cattle slaughtered in Canada at the
time, the widespread panic gripping the meatloving consumer public over the outbreak overwhelmed both the meat-processing industry and
the retail sector—despite their lightning-quick
response—to such extent that not even bargainpricing of beef products was enough to stem the
tide of heavy financial losses unleashed by the
high-profile scandal ultimately traced to poor
handling of meat at the Brooks facility.
Collective Cost
To protect the consumer as much as to protect
themselves, food processors everywhere have
taken a step back to examine all aspects of food
safety within their control in an attempt to mitigate future concerns—including how packaging is
produced and handled.
“Even though none of our customers were a part
of the XL Foods recall, the whole industry suffered for it,” explains Kruger Packaging’s vicepresident containerboard division Rob Latter.
“And because a recall can have a devastating
effect on the food processor industry as a whole,
it is up to everyone involved in the processing and
packaging industry to take a keen interest in helping ensure the consumer gets a safe, quality product in a quality package,” Latter told the Canadian
Packaging magazine during a recent interview.
As part of the 109-year-old Montreal-based
Kruger Inc. corporate entity that has business
units servicing publication papers, tissue, forest and wood products, energy, recycling, and
wines-and-spirits markets, Kruger Packaging
focuses on the manufacture and processing of
corrugated packaging.

“Kruger has a deep-rooted culture of workplace
safety, which is something we take great pride in,”
Latter asserts.

supporting promotional materials and displays,
along with a broad range of everyday protective
packaging products.
“As of 2013, about half of our business is foodrelated, and that is still growing,” states Latter. “So
as a company, we have taken great pains to ensure
we focus on manufacturing product following
proactive food safety initiatives.”
While continuing to produce containers for the
chemicals, textiles and clothing industry, Latter
says that over the past four years Kruger has continued to expand its market share within the foodpacking segment with such well-respected clientele
as Olymel L.P. and McCain Foods Limited.
But it’s the remarkable success within the pizza
delivery sector that had Kruger commit to a recent
capital expenditure, purchasing equipment to help
protect pizza boxes.
“Our business relating to the pizza industry has
certainly increased over the last little while, with
customers realizing Kruger provides not only a
quality product at a fair price, but also goes that
extra mile to ensure the product remains a quality product all the way to the consumer,” Latter
mentions.
While custom-sizing is, of course, offered by
Kruger, Latter says the single-tray standard pizza
box sizes for customers like 241 Pizza, Pizzaville
and Little Caesar’s account for the vast majority
of its pizza carton business.
Safety Initiative
Kruger’s Brampton plant production manager
Paul Domachevski says that for the pizza boxes,
E-Flute is the most used grade, although it still
does produce the previous more industry-common B-Flute.
“The E-f lute is half as thick as the B-f lute,”
explains Domachevski, “but pizza boxes nowadays
utilize a plastic insert on the actual pizza to prevent
crushing, so stackability isn’t a factor any more.”
Domachevski says that while the stackability

issue for pizza makers,

says Domachevski, “which will mean fewer vehicles

“Of course, we want to ensure those cartons
arrive safely at our customer’s door.”
For Kruger and its pizza-making customers,
safety implies a perfectly clean corrugated product.
After the corrugated is printed on the five-color
press, it is diecut, stacked and then bundled.
Until recently, all the pizza cartons made at the
plant were bound by a strapping machine.
But, in November of 2011, Kruger installed a
brand new, high-capacity inline shrinkwrap system from PlexPack Corporation, which produces a clear protective film to be placed over the
corrugated pizza cartons in order to keep them
clean and dust-free.
Headquartered in Toronto with an office in Palm
Harbor, Fla., PlexPack manufactures the Emplex

SAFETY
As a means of adhering to its food safety protocols, the
Kruger Packaging facility in Brampton shrinkwraps flats
of pizza boxes with a protective layer of film supplied by
Unisource Canada.
“All (pizza) boxes we run are shrinkwrapped
by the Instawrap,” states Domachevski. “It does a
great job with the wrapping and the removing of
excess film.”
Although Kruger’s new Instawrap machinery has
some customized features built into it by PlexPack,
Domachevski says he was very impressed with the
system prior to the purchase, noting that “it provides a quality film wrap that we hadn’t seen anywhere else.”
Even long after the install, Domachevski continues to sing the praises of the Instawrap equipment.
ReiserPkg_Food_v2012_CP_J_Reiser
“This large, high-capacity machine has the capacity
to handle 15 bundles per minute, and it has other
features we care about that help the
wrap look clean,” says Domachevski,
noting the Instawrap provides a perfect
cut along the stretchwrap so that the
pizza bundles do not get any excess
film applied to them.
As well, Kruger machine operators
enjoy the fact that when it comes time
to load film rolls onto the Instawrap,
it is easily added on the side of the
machine, rather than on top of it.
“It’s a simple thing,” admits
Domachevski, “but it’s a nice safety
feature for the operators.”
In addition, the excess film trim is
rewound through a pair of rewinders also located on the side of the
machine allowing safe and easy access
for the operators.
Other features of the Kruger custom Instawrap include:
• a GOT1000 programmable logic
controller with graphics manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric;
• Festo multi-stroke cylinders;
• SEW-Eurodrive motors;

Motor-vation
According to PlexPack, the company chose to utilize SEW-Eurodrive
motors on the Instawrap because it
determined the motor’s rugged design
would work well in the harsh, dusty
environment created by Kruger’s corrugated production lines.
Each of the SEW-Eurodrive
motors is paired with a Mitsubishi
D720 adjustable frequency drive
that constantly monitors the motor’s
performance to ensure years of maintenance-free operation.
The Instawrap has three one-horsepower R27 series SEW-Eurodrive
motors to power its conveyors and
another two half-horsepower K37
series motors to spool the film into
the twin side-seal system.

SAFETY
As the bundles of film-wrapped corrugated are cut, the
edges are heat-sealed within the Damark Instawrap.
A Mitsubishi Electric GOT1000 touchscreen programmable logic controller makes programming and operating the
Damark Instawrap shrinkwrap system a snap for Kruger employees.
Within the Damark Instawrap, a Festo multi-stroke cylinder aids in the process to
automatically adjust shrinkwrap seal height based on the incoming package’s height.
cylinders that, when
combined with the
Instawrap’s
built-in
logic, will adjust the
seal height automatically
based upon the incoming package’s height.
PlexPack notes that
because the Instawrap
seals in the center of
the package every time,
it allows the wrapper
to minimize film consumption by decreasing
the spacing between
products, which is automatically adjusted by the
SEW-Eurodrive powered conveyors.
According
to
PlexPack, the Instawrap
combines the best qualities of a side-sealer and
a sleeve-wrapper.
The Instawrap utilizes
two rolls of f lat film—
so that no PFU (power
film unwind) system
with an inverting head is required. Its removal
means the overall length of the machine is reduced
when compared to standard side-sealers, while
providing an easier job for the operator.
“Because there is no PFU, operators do not
need to thread film through an inverting head,”
Domachevski asserts.
“That can be tricky even for an experienced
operator, but this way, any downtime is greatly
reduced.”
The use of two rolls of f lat film—as opposed to
a more standard single center-folded roll—also
means less downtime to change film, cutting the
arduous job by half.
“We didn’t want to go to a center-folded film roll
at all,” says Domachevski. “We wanted a side-reel,
the film trimmed and the excess rewound—which
we send out for recycling—all to be near the operator, and we definitely wanted a side film load.
“PlexPack has delivered exactly what we required,
while helping us provide an excellent level of product safety for our customers.”
With Kruger doing well with its corrugated business, its nine production lines are a constant hive
of activity.
“Since December of 2012, we’ve been running
the shrink tunnel line 24/7,” admits Latter.
The Brampton facility currently has two f latbed
die-cutters, one Jumbo press, four f lexo folder/
gluers, but only two rotary die-cutters, which is
why it is awaiting delivery and installation of a new
rotary Hycorr die-cutter, which Latter expects to
be running f lat-out out by April 2013.
Latter feels Kruger’s commitment to food safety
is self-evident in all of the company’s processes.
“Food safety is a critical issue for the food industry, and Kruger will most certainly do its part in
ensuring that all consumers remain safe.”

AUTOMATE NOW
AUTOMATIC REACTIONS
Line flexibility, modularity and product safety key drivers in the
fast-paced global packaging automation market
BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR
A
fully-automated, smooth-running packaging line operating at ultra-fast speeds with
minimal human supervision or machine
stoppages is something that tends to be taken
for granted in today’s increasingly technologyobsessed modern consumer society.
But for those closer to the action, implementing
that vision into everyday reality at busy CPG (consumer packaged goods) manufacturing operations
is a daily workplace challenge arguably requiring
more human brainpower, technical ingenuity and
highly-specialized skills than ever before—especially in the context of the fiercely-competitive
global economy and emerging new market opportunities worldwide.
Whereas mass-scale manufacturing and packaging automation was once a luxury reserved for
the elite few multibillion-dollar CPG powerhouses, nowadays investment in packaging line
automation is more of a prerequisite for competing
in global markets that can also be served by a
multitude of upstart offshore competitors with
unbeatable advantages in labor costs—making
continuous automation in manufacturing industries of all sorts an everyday fact of life.
According to last year’s report by leading market
research services group Global Industry
Analysts, Inc. (GIA), the global market for packaging machinery is estimated to reach a hefty
US$52.9 billion by 2018.
This forecast growth presents innovative manufacturers of automated packaging machinery and
suppliers of automation components, devices and
systems with a wealth of incentives and opportunities to benefit from the emergence of new populous
CPG markets, along with a new imperative to continue making their equipment better, faster, safer,
more productive, more f lexible and, more recently,
better attuned to the public imperative for a more
environmentally-sustainable manufacturing model.
“Despite the tight grip of worldwide economic
uncertainty on the broader packaging industry, the
high-performance packaging machinery market
continues to f lourish, driven by the need for convenient, innovative and smart packaging solutions,” say the authors of the comprehensive study
titled Packaging Machinery: A Global Strategic
Business Report.
“Major growth is likely to stem from lucrative
end-use industries such as food-and-beverage,
pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, printers,
converters and others,” the reports states.
“Increasing production capacity and robust
growth from developing BRIC economies of
China, India, Brazil and Russia will fuel demand
in the future.”
But because a healthy market is no guarantee of
sustained long-term success and longevity in itself,
North American packaging machine-builders and
their automation suppliers are continuing to commit large financial and human resources to proactive
engineering and research-and-development (R&D)
to gain a meaningful competitive edge over their
current and future competition, as revealed in an
informal recent survey of packaging OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and their automation suppliers conducted by Canadian Packaging.
Winds of Change
Manufacturing industrial conveyors since 1905,
the Mason, Ohio-headquartered end-of-line packaging and material handling systems manufacturer
Intelligrated has seen its share of trends and marketplace changes over the years—meeting the everevolving new challenges by continuously upgrading
its engineering competence and technological
know-how, as exemplified by the broad installation base of its popular Alvey range of automated,
robotics-assisted palletizing systems. (Picture Above)
“Our Alvey palletizers lead the industry in speed
(more than 220 cases per minute), f lexibility and
dependability for supporting around-the-clock
24/7 operations,” says Intelligrated’s senior director of international operations Martin Clark.
“Our Alvey palletizers can be configured for virtually any layer pattern, product packaging or container—including cases, shrinkpacks, totes, bales
AUTOMATE NOW
AUTOMATIC REACTIONS
and trays—while our engineers work with clients
to fully integrate our palletizers or palletizing systems their with existing conveyors or other material
handling equipment.”
Having entered the palletizing market during the
1950s, Intelligrated made significant marketplace
gains since the mid-1990s by integrating many of
its existing conventional palletizing technologies
with modern industrial robotics to develop complete, fully-integrated automatic turnkey systems
for its fast-growing base of major CPG end-users.
According to the aforementioned GIA market
study, “Packaging and palletizing robotic system
witnessed a healthy increase of 100 per cent in the
past decade”—a market windfall that helped
Intelligrated build up an unrivaled knowledge base
by working with the different robotic systems from
by the world’s leading robot manufacturers.
Clark says the company’s ability to provide fullyintegrated, well-tested systems to its CPG customers,
along with full after-sales technical support, helped it
evolve into one of the world’s foremost end-of-line
packaging system developers and integrators.
“We have the ability to integrate a wide variety
of material handling components, including
robotic arms from multiple manufacturers, as well
as a variety of standard and custom end-of-arm
tooling, innovative and proven software and controls such as PLCs (programmable logic controllers), operator interfaces, vision systems, and our
now-standard IntelliGen pattern template software
to provide the highest levels of functionality.
“We take full responsibility for our integrated
robotic material handling systems, including system
design, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and
after-sales customer support,” says Clark, listing
speed, throughput, reliability, quick changeovers
and safety as key performance attributes demanded
by Intelligrated’s growing customer base.
States Clark: “Above all, we offer our customer a
real ‘peace of mind’ that comes by working with
the market leader in palletizing and robotic integration businesses, so that our customers can
remain leaders in their respective industries.”
Mike Wilcox, vice-president of AMS (after-market sales) and marketing with the St. Paul, Minn.based Delkor Systems, a renowned manufacturer
of automatic cartoning, case- and tray-packing systems and retail-ready packaging solutions, cites
machine uptime and reliability as key issues among
the company’s CPG end-users.
“The importance of optimizing line operation
for maximum efficiencies, fast
and tool-less changeover, vertical startups, servo technology and further automation
will continue to be the central theme in the CPG industry circles.” Wilcox says.
Grand Vision
“From
our
perspective,
another key development is the
use of scanning and machine
vision to monitor packaging
f low, configuration, quality
and location during operation,
and managing out defects, or
f lawed packages, without shutting the line down.
“This not only manages out
defective packaging while running; it also detects problems that cause line downtime before they become downtime,” he says,
stressing the importance of precisely understanding not only the current customer needs, but also
the future requirements as well.
“From the perspective of packaging equipment
design, it is all about managing the balance between
modular design demands with monoblock design
interests, which often creates a tug-of-war between
competing needs.”
For Pierre-Jean Lajoie-Michaud, marketing
coordinator of the Industrial Equipment Group
unit of the Rivière-du-Loup, Que.-based machinebuilder and integrator Premier Tech, packaging
line f lexibility is one of the biggest single capabilities demanded by his company’s end-use customers in the food-and-beverage industry sectors.
“With the rapid growth of multiple SKUs (stockkeeping units) and an accelerated fragmentation of
product offerings to meet the needs of increasingly
fragmented markets, f lexibility is a central consideration in the design of new packaging lines,” he says.
“Product types that offer a wide variety of f lavors
and sizes—such as yogurt, cheese, cakes, cookies,
cereals and rice—naturally necessitates increased
f lexibility on packaging lines, which results in a
greater level of complexity requiring technologically-advanced solutions.
“That is exactly the sort of capability that Premier
Tech Systems has to offer to the marketplace, says
Lajoie-Michaud, citing the company’s recentlylaunched AR-200 Series robotic case-packer, operating with single or dual robots “to pick up different
kinds of products (multipick) and randomly-oriented items before packing them into cases or any
other rigid container. (Picture on page 38)
“It a great way to allow customers improve their
packaging efficiency and increase their ROI
(return-on-investment),” he says, also citing workplace health-and-safety issues as an important factor in the drive to increased automation of
packaging lines across more industries.
Paul Irvine, chief executive officer of the Torontobased packaging machinery manufacturer Plexpack
Corporation, agrees. (Picture on right page 39)
“Some of the important trends in customer
requirements include increased safety features for
the supplied equipment, value-added services from
their suppliers, and standardization over common
communication protocols,” he says.

so that every automated machine
supplied by us includes a risk assessment and as minimum a Category
2 safety control system,” says Irvine.
“We are able to customize not only
the size of the equipment, but also
the automation solution to ensure
that the new equipment ties into
other stages of the production
line easily, and provides familiar hardware to ease troubleshooting down the road.”
As Irvine explains: “The most
common trend we have noted in
the packaging industry today is the
move from manual production methods to fullyautomatic processes and the need for increased
safety protocols.
“Although these automatic processes are not
new by any means, with the price-point of automation hardware decreasing drastically over the
past years, we now see many smaller firms interested in the possible cost-savings that can be
achieved through automation.”
Irvine says Plexpack has committed significant
resources to expand its in-house engineering and
maintenance expertise to respond to this promising new market niche.
“Our team will provide on-site training, integration and maintenance if required, reducing the risk
most companies assume when installing equipment
of this nature,” he says, “and our machinery is
debugged-in-house and subjected to hours of continuous operation to evaluate its performance and
reduce potential downtime at the customer’s site.”
Says Irvine: “Our company has changed from
being a machine manufacturer to a supplier of
turnkey production processes, as new market
trends have driven us to design our machinery
around the fact that companies want to use less
human interaction in their processes, while increasing the safety measures taken to protect the operators they do still need.”
Because the finished packaging machine or line
is ultimately only as good as the collective sum of
its parts, using the right high-performance components, parts and subsystems to their maximum
advantage early in machine design and building
stages is key to successful and optimized machine
operation, as well a improved TCO (total cost of
ownership) performance.
“Given today’s economic challenges, reducing
the ‘total cost of ownership’ has become a high
priority for many manufacturers,” says John
Danesh, national account manager with motion
control specialists SEW-Eurodrive of Canada
Ltd. in Brampton, Ont.
“This means increases in operating efficiency,
reduced changeover times, lower energy consumption, reduced overhead costs, reduced waste and
increased productivity,” he explains.
Higher Aims
“As the result of global competition, there has been
more pressure on manufacturers to increase their
level of automation in order to stay competitive
with emerging countries.
“The increase in global competition has also
forced manufacturers to become more innovative
with their packaging,” says Danesh, citing rising
popularity of single-serve and
‘green’ packaging formats with
better sustainability footprint.
“In the past, due to the complexity and cost, most packaging machines did not
utilize robots or servo
drives,” Danesh ref lects, “but
control electronics and servo
systems have come down significantly in price to open up
many new application niches.
“Sophisticated electronic controllers are considerably more economical than they were in the
past, and are also easier to use.”
One of Canada’s leading suppliers of industrial
drives and motors to the Canadian packaging industry for over 20 years, the company’s comprehensive
motion control portfolio—boasting the renowned
SEW helical gearmotors, drive systems, motors and
controls—has been widely embraced by leading
manufacturers of packaging and labeling machines,
conveyors, palletizers, automatic case-erectors and
case-packers. (Pictures bottom of page 36)
“Field-mounted electronics is the route for
reducing total cost of ownership for end-users,”
says Danesh, pointing to a sustained trend toward
modular packaging lines—away from the traditional stand-alone packaging machinery.
“With modular design approach the controls are
mounted on the machine in the field, rather than
in stand-alone panels that have to be customdesigned and wired,” he explains.
“In the past, custom software in a PLC would
control all aspects of the system, whereas today, the
drive would be responsible for implementing the
positioning using pre-written application modules,
and the PLC would have a supervisory role just
sending it targets, speeds and ramps,” he expands.
“This leads to much faster project turnaround, as
well as less project software risk, by making use of
tried-and-tested software modules.
“Modularization facilitates a reduction in custom
engineering and its associated costs and risks,” says
Danesh. “Systems need to be designed so that they
are easy to reconfigure for new products without
major expenses to the end-user.”
Craig Dahlquist, automation products leader
with leading drives supplier Lenze Americas
Corporation, Uxbridge, Mass.-based subsidiary
of German industrial automation group Lenze
AG, agrees. (Pictures top of page 36)
“Automation technologies for packaging applications have taken tremendous strides over the past
decade,” Dahlquist relates. ”Early motion control
was often adapted from the automotive industry
and customized for packaging or palletizing applications, with each axis or robot equipped with separate, proprietary programming controls.
“These articulated arms were usually costly, bulky,
difficult to f loor-mount and oversized,” he recalls.
“In those early iterations, frequent jams and troubleshooting often required manual stops and intervention, as well as a programming engineer each time a
new control box or product is introduced.”
Dahlquist explains: “Printing, converting, metalworking and other industries that have historically
used automation and robotics do not typically
require the same level of sophistication as is
required in packaging applications.
“As automation technology has evolved, the challenge becomes how to create packaging machines
that deliver rock-solid mechanical consistency, as

well as necessary f lexibility,
without introducing new levels of
complexity,” says Dahlquist, citing his
company’s solid reputation as an expert in mechatronic systems, which combine the best-of-breed
electronics and mechanical components to provide a
high-performance automated packaging solution.
Power Trip
“Drive-based technology will increasingly be a
mainstay for machine-builders needing intelligent drives,” Dahlquist
relates. “By communicating with the
drives, a PLC provides a more sophisticated solution than a simple mechanical system with fixed machinery.
“Packaging motion control typically requires synchronized control
of multiple axes and more complex
motions,” he points out. “Intelligent
controllers have enabled integration
of packaging automation programming, with industry-wide modular
standards—making it possible to
break down machine concepts into
function blocks.
“Open PLC standards comprise a
range of motions and the ready transfer
of motor control programming into
new or retrofit machine operations,
while template-based programming
offers the ability to create different
motion profiles that can be quickly
integrated into the machinery, with the
ability to blend and change functions
without resorting to reengineering and
manual reprogramming.”
Says Dahlquist: “As more SKUs are
introduced into the automation
environment, machine-builders must
be able to meet the need for speed and
f lexible changeovers.
“Manufacturing development cycles
have shortened and so too, the timeto-market periods for packaging
machinery,” Dahlquist points out.
“The onus falls on designers and
machine-builders for specifying the
best available motion control solutions, because redesigns due to
machine design errors or product
changes are always very costly.”
As the concerted global push for
more sustainable manufacturing
practices continues to gain momentum, energy efficiency has emerged
as one of the hottest sustainability
issues in packaging machinery,
according to Roland Volk, energy
efficiency consultant at Germanybased pneumatic systems specialist
Festo AG & Co. KG. (Pictures above)
“It is not possible to provide a simple
answer to the question of whether a
pneumatic drive is more
energy-efficient than an
electric drive or vice-versa,”
he says. “Energy efficiency in automation is dependent on the industrial application, or the purpose for which the drive is used.
“For a simple motion task, an electric drive is
cheaper and more efficient, but if the application
requires a holding force, pneumatics clearly offer
an advantage,” explains Volk.
“The pneumatic drive benefits from the fact that
it requires energy only for the brief moment in
which pressure is built up, while the holding process itself can be carried out completely without
any fresh compressed-air supply, thus eliminating
all energy costs.
“The electric drive, on the other hand, requires
electricity constantly in order to remain in the desired
position,” Volk relates. “The longer the holding pro-
cess continues, the higher the energy consumption of
the electric drive compared to the pneumatic drive.
“Ultimately, technologies can be properly compared only on the basis of the total cost-of-ownership (TCO), which takes into account both the
acquisition costs and the energy costs.”

visibility into how products are made, distributed and
used,” say Lewis, citing packaging sustainability as
another important market driver for vision systems.
War on Waste
One of the more pronounced features of 21st
Century packaging automation evolution has been
the widespread, and long-predicted, adoption of
advanced robotics and machine vision technologies
that used to be out of financial reach of many small
and medium-sized businesses.
“It is a completely different world from 10 years
ago, when penetration of robotics into packaging
was minimal—primarily limited to lower-speed
case palletizing,” relates Tanya Proietti, marketing
communications manager at FANUC Robotics
Canada, Ltd. in Mississauga, Ont.
“The drive toward higher levels of standardization in manufacturing is fueling broader adoption
of robotics overall,” she says, pointing to the
“emergence of focused robotic packaging system
integrators” and increased system affordability.
“Faster speeds and vision advances will enable
whole new classes of applications in the near future,
while modern communications technologies will
allow for seamless integration among control platforms, promoting easier and higher adoption of
robotics,” Proietti predicts.
“Moreover, increased focus on sanitary designs—
for both robots and system peripherals—will
respond to the needs of the food industry in terms
of consumer product safety, increasing demands
for product traceability and sanitation.”
Since introducing its first purpose-built palletizing
robot—model M-400 running on PalletMate PC
software in DOS environment—in the late 1980s,
FANUC Robotics has emerged as one of the world’s
elite robotics manufacturers, serving a highly diverse
global customer base. (Pictures on bottom of page 34)
“Our original palletizing systems activity that
was focused on the end-user community has transformed into an integrator-focused business serving
a much wider range of industries and applications,
Proietti relates.
“Today we have end customers from virtually all
consumer and durable-goods sectors, who are
using FANUC intelligent robot technology in
their packaging operations.”
Clean Act
According to Chris Follows, president of Propack
Processing and Packaging Systems Inc. in
Beamsville, Ont., the need for sanitary machine
design is a crucial consideration for his company’s
biggest clients in the baked-goods markets.
“With the increased importance of sanitary
design, opportunities exist to simplify machine
design which by the nature of the exercise will
provide benefits to the end-user, with fewer parts
and/or assemblies, which by definition improves
OEE (overall equipment effectiveness).
“The ‘clean’ machine design has always been
important, but within the industries we serve, the
recent direction towards ‘sanitary’ machine design
is making a big difference.
“We are seeing customers increase their awareness
of sanitary design, while trying to determine whether
the increased cost associated with such design is warranted,” relates Follows. “Many large customers
seem to be accepting of the cost, while small- to
mid-size companies are more wary of paying for
something where the benefit is harder to quantify.
“Being focused on a narrow market segment
allows us to best apply our extensive knowledge of
our customers and their applications and how our
equipment adds value to their operation,” he says.
“We do not attempt to be everything for everyone,
but what we do, we do very, very well.
“Our LJ-Series of robotic loaders operate at the
highest speeds and efficiencies available in our
specific segment,” he says (pictures above), “and we
have high f lexibility in machine design to meet
specific application requirements.
“We provide advanced machinery for sophisticated applications that works,” Follows asserts.
According to John Lewis, market development
manager with leading vision systems developer
Cognex Corporation of Natick, Mass., machine
vision is also becoming a much more commonplace sight on today’s packaging lines.
“Increasingly, food and pharmaceutical processors
and packagers, as well as their equipment and materials suppliers, point to vision systems as a key technology for helping them achieve compliance in an
increasingly regulatory environment,” Lewis relates.
“These technologies not only help packagers confirm that label and product match to lower the risk of
any mandated product recall due to mislabeling,” he
explains, “but also help and track lots, batches, and
individual items through the supply chain to reduce
the cost of recalls due to product contamination.
“And even beyond compliance, food and drug
manufacturers have discovered real value in being
able to stop counterfeiting, prevent parallel trade
through unauthorized channels, and achieve greater
“The fact that there has been no dip in sustainability efforts has been a boon to Cognex because our
vision systems not only help packagers, retailers
and materials suppliers eliminate production errors
and reduce manufacturing costs, but also help
them meet their corporate sustainability goals,”
Lewis explains. (Pictures below)
“They use these vision systems to reduce defects and
eliminate scrap, which minimizes manufacturing
waste that would otherwise have to be disposed of.
“It’s really better for the environment to use
machine vision, but it’s also better for the manufacturer because it reduces production costs by
increasing manufacturing yields,” he states.
“For example, label, material and container suppliers use a lot of vision systems and image-based barcode readers, while suppliers of pre-printed labels,
injection-molded bottles, f lexible films and cartonboard containers use vision to eliminate misprints
and mix-up, while label converters use vision and
image-based barcode readers to ensure code quality
and data integrity on their serialized labels.”
Says Lewis: “Due to miniaturization and advances
in the power of digital signal processors (DSPs),
imaging sensors and decoding algorithms, traceability applications such as ID code reading, text verification, mark quality assessment, and label inspection
can now be accomplished more economically using
the latest generation of smart camera vision systems,
which today offer advanced networking, communication capabilities and powerful factory integration tools.
“And with a standard operator
interface for a common lookand-feel across all packaging
lines and inspection points,”
Lewis concludes, “many
packagers and materials suppliers now consider smart camera vision systems and image-based
barcode readers to be indispensable
tools in their effort to build strategic
information architectures more in line with
their corporate sustainability goals.”

Comprehensive range of high-speed thermal
transfer printers fo intermittent and continuous
motion vertical and horizontal packaging
machinery.
Domino's A320i ink jet printer offes a service
free printer plus: (1) The operator interface is
easy to use-just enter the job and go on to the
next task. (2) Simplified display quickly puts
the printer in action. (3)Its printhead stays clear
of residual ink-you'll see lower ink costs.
The A420i's increased ink capability
complements the general range of i-Tech inks,
with a versatile range of Specialist and Custom
ink offerings, such as specialist thermochromic
ink for canning.
The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller
i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube
on a multi-position mount. The head can be
rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for
many mounting positions, and because it is so
much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger
lasers cannot.

GETTING A HANDLE ON REUSABLE PACKAGING
W
riting this column
for the last few
years has radically
changed the way I shop for
groceries. Instead of quickly
filling my cart with the items
on my list, I now find myself perusing the aisles
looking for uniquely packaged products with a nice
eco-friendly dimension to help me cope with any
‘green guilt’ fallout. But while it feels like I’m doing
the right thing, my home recycling bin has been
overwhelmed in recent months with all the extra
recyclable packaging I’ve been bringing in from
shopping. To stem the tide, I recently adjusted my
shopping focus to selecting products with reusable
packaging that does not have to be discarded right
after finishing off the contents inside.
Custom-made for Richstone Fine Foods Ltd.
of Concord, Ont., the 450-ml glass antipasto
jars—used to package the company’s
f lavorful deli delights like Delfino
Cacciatore Dry Sausage, hot and
mild, and stuffed pepper shooters—are armed with real-size
handles that turn the 450-ml
containers into very functional,
oddly charming, and conveniently
mobile drinking vessels. Boasting
snug screw-top lids to make sure none
of the contents escape in a messy spill, they have
already proven to be an excellent glassware choice
around our household for a few expertly-mixed
Bloody Caesar cocktails—earning the packaging a
useful second life and sparing it from the recycling
loop. Moreover, the highly informative decorative
labels attached to the front and back—loaded with
interesting tidbits about the company’s bold anti-
Add Ink, a division of Atlantic Packaging Products
(www.Atlantic.ca) is growing and currently seeking a talented
Account Executive to join their dynamic team. The winning
candidate will have a strong technical sales background with
experience in value added packaging and printing industries.
A post-secondary education and knowledge of print processes
and display packaging in the corrugated industry are definite
assets. Qualified applicants are invited to email their resume in
confidence to: [email protected]
We thank all applicants for their interest, however; only those
selected for an interview will be contacted. No phone calls please.
pasto creations—easily peel off the glass with no
soaking or scraping required.
Ditto for the reusable 270-ml glass carafes used to
package the Braswell’s Italian Dressing and Marinade
brand, which keeps product labeling to bare minimum—just to list the ingredients and nutrition facts—by having the company’s
name and logo embossed directly into
the glass itself, along with a 0.25-liter
measuring line around the neck for easy
future reference. Produced in Statesboro,
Ga., the carafe comes with a small gift
card—attached with an elastic color
band—congratulating consumers on
the purchase and reiterating the company’s commitment to using fashionable and reusable packaging for all its
products, along with the website address.
Making a classy statement about Brasswell Food
Co.’s obsession with high product quality, the elegant container is an excellent gift idea for all the
environmentally-conscious foodies out there.
Packaged in pints by family-owned greenhouse operator Mastronardi Produce Ltd. in
Kingsville, Ont., under the company’s SUNSET
label, the ZIMA Seriously Sweet Tomatoes provide
a fresh break from the ordinary
by literally f lipping traditional
pint
packaging—open-top
cardboard or lidded thinwall
plastic squares—on its head.

serves as the base of the package, the bite-sized
cherry tomatoes are easily inspected through the
clear plastic for any blemishes or imperfections,
and quickly retrieved from the air-hole vented
package by lifting the tab of the colorful top-lid
label to peel it back just enough to get your fingers
inside. A gentle press of the label back into place
securely reseals the remaining sweet little things
still inside for later enjoyment.
It looks like the sun is really setting on jarred baby
foods, as evidenced by Heinz Canada’s recent
introduction of 178-gram resealable f lexible pouches that provide a vastly more
lightweight packaging alternative to
the traditional glass baby-food jars.
Outfitted with childproof screwcaps to prevent spills and maintain
the freshness of leftover product, the
Heinz Baby Food in a Pouch package also eliminates the need to use a
serving bowl because you can simply
squeeze the contents right on the spoon
at feeding time, while its stand-up structural design
allows you to safely set it aside without worrying
about spillage. But for all these undeniable functional advantages, I feel a certain loss of romance
with the disappearance of old-school glass jars,
which I would reuse repeatedly to full effect in the
past to store home-made baby foods, small snacks,
leftover sauces, etc. You just can’t do anything like
that with these disposable pouches and, moreover,
finding any small-sized food storage containers not
made out of plastic these days is getting trickier all
the time.
