Automation: a key driver of sustainability for FrontPac packaging
For the Scandinavian group FrontPac, one of the key areas of development centres on the design of solutions that can be automated. By taking into account the constraints of packaging lines right from the design stage, FrontPac aims to improve production consistency whilst reducing material waste and manual operations. This industrial approach meets the expectations of premium brands: to increase efficiency without compromising perceived quality.
The FrontPac mechanism
With over forty years’ experience in premium printed packaging, the company follows a strategy based on continuous investment in production equipment, finishing technologies and the professional development of its teams.
The group also prioritises a collaborative approach with its clients and suppliers, focusing on several key areas: the selection of raw materials, the optimisation of formats and the reduction of unnecessary components.
These priorities lead to the creation of printed packaging that combines visual sophistication with technical efficiency. The innovations presented at the Edition Spéciale trade fair include certified premium materials, optimised finishing processes and alternatives designed to reduce the environmental footprint whilst maintaining product durability.
A focus on measurable impact
For FrontPac, environmental considerations go beyond simply the choice of materials. The company integrates sustainability criteria throughout its entire value chain, from sourcing to the energy efficiency of its manufacturing processes. External certifications and audits also play a key role in this approach.
In an industry where packaging remains a key element of the brand experience, automation is seen not only as a tool for industrial streamlining, but also as a measurable way of reducing the environmental footprint of production.
