MakeBright: a patented laser solution that allows direct coding on (corrugated) cardboard boxes, without ink, labels, or other consumables. While lasers were previously known primarily for their ''burned-in'' appearance, MakeBright technology enables near-white marking on (corrugated) cardboard, optionally combined with a dark (bar) code, text, or symbol. This requires no special coating on the cardboard. MakeBright works on both recycled cardboard and virgin material, brown or white. The market demands additive-free solutions purely for sustainability goals. Inline printing on boxes is increasing, which also leads to increased ink consumption, maintenance, and planned (or unplanned) downtime. A laser operates without consumables: no ink, no cartridges, no labels, and minimal maintenance.

DEFINE Serdar Tolenaar, owner of Plus supermarkets, noticed his customers were demanding fresh, high quality meals. To satisfy this need he started cooking and selling meals in his stores during the Covid lockdown. Flush with instant success, he quickly received requests from other supermarkets to do the same. Tolenaar put a team together which alighted on a plan to scale-up the process without compromising quality. Now New Next was appointed to originate the house style and packaging concept for these instant meals. DESIGN > Positioning > Developing house style > Supervising Mama’s photoshoot > Developing names for the meals > 2D packaging design > Digital mock-ups > Supervising packaging production > DTP packaging DELIVER This resulted in a striking and cheerful brand. The ‘Mamas’ each have their own cuisine delivering a range of meals. The meals all have humorous titles. A daring new brand that perfectly reflects current times.

These shutters are produced in England. The cap closers are completely pneumatic. This version starts automatically if the closing head experiences resistance as soon as it is pressed onto the cap. (push start) The capping machines have a large torque range, are very effective and have a low vibration level. Very ergonomic model with low noise. The design of the new capping machines have low reaction forces with high repeatability.

More shelf life thanks to inert gas development Oxygen is a key factor in food spoilage, which is why many foods are packaged in a protective gas atmosphere to slow down bacterial growth and extend shelf life. In this respect, shielding gas is also an essential component for • improve food quality and shelf life, • to be able to dispense with preservatives, • reduce food waste and • improve the attractiveness of packaged products. However, meat and fish in particular also absorb part of the protective gas composition via their surface. This can lead to changes in the composition and a reduction in the volume of gas inside the packaging, causing it to collapse. This is precisely where the MAP EnhancerPad comes in, absorbing the released liquid and emitting additional protective gas to extend the shelf life and prevent the packaging from collapsing. At the same time, the MAP EnhancerPad makes it possible to reduce the volume of protective gas required, so that plastic packaging can also be significantly reduced in size, which has numerous positive effects. Convincing reasons for the MAP Enhancer Pad: • High absorption capacity thanks to SuperCore® cellulose - with additional superabsorber if required • Active production of CO2 on contact with released liquid • Longer shelf life due to active improvement of the protective atmosphere • Adaptation of the volume of CO2 released to the requirements of the packaged food product • Avoidance of collapsing packaging • More attractive packaging without free liquids • Significant reduction in packaging size and saving on plastic • Lower logistics costs in transportation and storage thanks to significantly smaller packaging

DEFINE Jos Nelissen, a third-generation poultry farmer in Oirlo, has developed an exclusive egg. By feeding his chickens marigolds/tagetes, the egg white becomes creamier and the yolk fuller in taste with a beautiful golden yellow colour. Jos wanted to market these eggs, but he also wanted to avoid the regular retail routes given the ultra-low margins. As this egg offers superior characteristics due to its colour, taste and structure, he chose to present it to the professional culinary world. The egg has been trialled by (celebrity) chefs who have proven enthusiastic. Jos and his daughter Mirthe then decided to set up a team to market these eggs. Now New Next was requested to develop the brand. DESIGN > Positioning > Developing house style > Product development in collaboration with Angélique Schmeinck > 2D packaging design > Logo design > Website design > Social media approach > Digital mock-ups > DTP packaging DELIVER A new egg brand: Marigold, with a focus on the professional culinary world (celebrity chefs). Delightful, luxurious packaging that underscores the superb taste of the egg. The brand merges the past with the present in the design, with illustrations of a chicken and lace and utilising zentangle inspired patterns. Various other products have also been developed in tandem with the eggs. The eggs are now used by numerous renowned chefs, including Jonnie Boer and Nelson Tanate of the Librije restaurant.

The main goal for companies of all sizes is to optimize operations and many see automation and digitalization as the best, most cost-effective ways of achieving this improved performance, reliability, sustainability and efficiency. That said, their specific priorities − and the extent to which digitalization is involved − vary considerably. That is why customization is key to our Packaging Intelligence solutions offering. Whether you need to improve a single factory or many worldwide, for some or all of your lines, we will tailor a plan to suit your precise objectives and timeline. We can even help you finance it without tying up your capital.

Markem-Imaje's laser marking machines for coding and marking are either CO2, Fiber, or UV (ultraviolet) based that mark by ablation, etching, foaming, or laser scribe imaging. CO2 laser marking technology is suitable for film, laminates, PET bottles, and inked paper and metal caps. Fiber laser marking is suitable for bare metal and rigid plastics and is used in the automotive and electronics industries and FMCG. Fiber laser technology provides high-speed printing in large coding areas and tough environments and the ability to multi-head scribe and produce high-contrast codes. UV laser technology is good for marking on the finest easy-to-damage substrates because of producing a photochemical reaction with the material, for example, on newer thinner mono films which are better for the environment films. Ultraviolet printing is an alternative solution for CO2 or fiber laser printing when these are not suitable for the substrate.
