Packaging technology supplier Fresnels has announced a new direct-to-surface finish effect for bottles.

Designed to create eye-catching appeal for luxury consumer brands, the technology is based around a process which combines the dimensional qualities of engraving and Fresnel lens technology.

This removes the need to involve labels, shrink sleeves or other traditional methods of decorating bottle surfaces.

While a high number of products have incorporated the Fresnel lens effect onto secondary packaging in the past, this has usually been discarded, sometimes even before the product is displayed on retail shelving, according to Fresnels.

The new technology means the lens can be applied directly onto the surface of the bottle itself to create striking effects.

The lens technology also offers security to the product, helping tackle counterfeiters and brand pirates.

Tucking into a hamburger without harming animals is closer to reality after University of Queensland (UQ) researchers found a way to cut costs in cultivated meat production.

Sixteen months after receivers were appointed over its holding company, the structural obstacle to selling Western Australia’s largest milk processor has been removed. McGrathNicol has launched the formal sale process for Brownes Dairy, with China Mengniu Dairy Company consolidating its holding position so the entire enterprise can be put to market rather than a shareholding above it.
