Mespack and Hoffer launch P-15 spout and cap — The H180FE model has been retrofitted to operate with this new closure

Mespack and Hoffer have announced the market launch of an innovative and sustainable solution for flexible packaging: the P-15 spout and cap. The new closure can be used with Mespack’s wide range of horizontal form-fill-seal machines. The machines were already operable with the Hoffer P-20 closure model. Mespack equipment can also be adapted to operate with various recyclable material structures.

The re-designed P-15 closure is lightweight and has 20% less plastic. Most importantly, it has been designed to be compatible with mono layer materials, which are more recyclable than products made of multiple plastics or mixed materials. Mono layer materials use less energy during the recycling process (dividing or separating of substances needed is eliminated), thus higher quality recycled products are created.

One of Mespack’s most versatile machines, the H180FE model, installed at the new Dow Pack Studios innovation center in Freeport, US, has been adapted (retrofitted) to operate with this new closure. The equipment is available with a variety of collaborations, such as the testing of recyclable-ready material and various types of fixtures, among others.

The new P-15 closure offers a high quality, sustainable, and recyclable packaging solution as more regions around the world, including Europe, move toward full circular economies. and the regulations mandating complete recyclable plastic packaging before 2030 approach. Hoffer closures have been fundamental to the recyclable spouted stand-up pouch projects that have been developed over recent years between the two companies, with the objective of offering quality and sustainable flexible packaging solutions to the market.

From 7 to 9 February, Mespack and Hoffer will be present at WestPack, the trade fair of solutions that are driving the packaging and logistics industry forward. The event will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center, in Anaheim, California, USA. They will present at booths 5226 (Mespack) and 2397 (Hoffer/located at the coinciding event, MD&M West).

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
