“Serving a wide range of markets, including meat, fish and poultry, produce, convenience and dried goods, this investment will ensure we do not only meet existing demand, but have the capabilities to support our customers with growth in the use of reclose technology in the future.”

Offering an easy-to-use experience to users, reclose labelling has an incorporated aperture window that enables packaging to be resealed once opened.

The labelling provides convenient in-pack storage and helps reduce food waste at home. It also helps brands and retailers to use a reclose function to specific packs or pack sizes.

Last year, Coveris’ UK flexibles division installed two Windmöeller & Höelscher Miraflex 8-colour presses, including one at its Gainsborough site.

Recently, a new slitter with punch capabilities was added to the finishing portfolio at the Gainsborough factory.
