Packaging Solutions

Cepac has teamed up with packaging machinery producer Adpak to showcase the automated application of Arcwise, the curved corrugated solution. The new capability will be unveiled at the PPMA Show 2018, which takes place at the NEC Arena in Birmingham on 25 to 27 September.

Arcwise helps customers revolutionise their corrugated packaging needs, offering innovative design and innovation possibilities across a wide range of applications.

Produced by Cepac, Arcwise technology allows corrugated board to form new shapes, utilising a radius, offering endless possibilities to extend the graphical layout seamlessly across multiple panels and designs.

In addition to allowing new design possibilities for packaging, Arcwise also offers greater pack strength and resistance, thanks to its curved form.

Adpak, in combination with the GPI group, has developed machinery which auto erects and fills Arcwise boxes. This new innovation enables the highly effective production of Arcwise packs for retail ready, consumer and transport packaging uses. Cepac’s Group sales and marketing director Steve Moss said, ‘We are excited to reveal our latest corrugated innovation with our partners Adpak. The effective automated application of Arcwise is key to developing the market offering to our customers. We are delighted to be demonstrating these new capabilities with Adpak and the licensor of Arcwise, SCA, at the PPMA show. Arcwise opens up new opportunities and technical possibilities across all sectors.’
