Australian packaging, labelling, and process automation company Result Group has joined Ravenwood’s global distributor network for driving linerless in this region. Result has invested in a Ravenwood linerless demo sleever.

Result Group purchased a Nobac 5000 linerless applicator as part of its demonstration and testing fleet.  The Nobac range is designed for maximum flexibility, for applying Ravenwood linerless labels to many food types and pack specifications. In addition to sleeving fixed-weight products, these machines can link to weigh-scales from a range of manufacturers for variable-weight products, as well as check weighing. Speeds up to 125ppm are achievable.

Linerless labels are supplied in a range of weights and materials, including paper and polypropylene.

Result Group general manager Michael Dossor said the partnership with Ravenwood allows the company to deliver the best linerless technology, support packaging minimisation initiatives, and contribute towards delivering sustainability targets for landfill reducition.

“Linerless labels are making headway in Australia as more brands move towards sustainable packaging so they can reach the sustainability goals mandated in Australia, especially the 2025 National Packaging targets,” Dossor said.

Ravenwood managing director Paul Beamish said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Result Group to our global distributor network, given their commitments and policies with regards to supporting a carbon neutral future.”

A statement from Result Group said increasing concerns about liner waste generated and the banning of Australian export waste have led to linerless labels earning considerable kudos in the Australian packaging and labelling industry.

Brand owners are reacting to growing interest from consumers concerns about climate change, leading them to re-evaluate their packaging and labelling choices. Linerless offers a full spectrum of benefits associated with sustainable labelling practices.
