MMK on location – the most important industry events in q4 2015 / q1 2016

Packaging Innovation Programme 10th to 11th December 2015, Munich
The Packaging Innovation Programme is one of the important platforms for discussing sustainable, innovative and inspiring packaging trends as well as for positioning packaging as the “carrier“ of exceptional brand identities. Our presentation made one thing clear above all others: only through permanent innovation can you successfully meet the challenges of the future and keep your finger on the pulse of the times. This philosophy is underlined by FOODBOARD™, our barrier cartonboard for the highest product safety, as well as our new arrivals, Starcolor Mirabell™ (GD2), tailor-made for the pharmaceutical market, and UD Brown (UD2), a single-coated, sustainable duplex cartonboard with a brown front side and brown reverse side.

PCD (Packaging of Perfumes, Cosmetics & Design) 3rd to 4th February 2016, Espace Champerret, Paris
At the beginning of February, over 5,800 packaging experts met at the PCD Fair in Paris, which is dedicated to the premium segment of cosmetics and perfumes. As well as elaborately designed, ingenious packaging which impresses through its individual look and special tactility, the focus is shifting ever more to the aspect of sustainability even for luxury products. This is where MMK can win the argument with its production of environmentally friendly and attractive packaging solutions.

RISI European Conference 29th February to 3rd March 2016, Berlin
The annual RISI conference has one primary goal – to take a 360° look at the entire forestry industry and act as a driving force across all aspects of it. Our presentation entitled “How to Protect as well as Boost Consumer Brands with Fiber Based Packaging“ which attracted much attention, made one essential point clear: cartonboard is uniquely suited to meeting the challenges of the future and successfully conveying the brand message to the consumer.

BPIF Cartons: Common Ground 20th April 2016, Nottingham
In mid-April MMK discussed with numerous participants at the one-day Common Ground event of BPIF Cartons, British Printing Industries Federation, in Nottingham the latest technological developments and how they affect the packaging industry. All aspects of food safety were also a key topic of the event. MMK informed the representatives of British and international companies about our solution in terms of highest product safety for food packaging, FOODBOARD™, and discussed particularly the subject of converting. The results of extensive long-term real-life tests confirm the effectiveness of our migration barriers, best converting results and highest packing line performance for FOODBOARD™.
