4 – 10 May, Düsseldorf, Germany
interpack: No other trade fair in the world
presents the entire supply chain. At no other
trade fair does the packaging industry
provide all sectors with tailored solutions
and innovative designs based on such a variety
of materials, and it is, of course, THE
event for the packaging industry.
interpack 2017 is recording the highest demand
among exhibitors in its history of over
55 years. 19 halls will house around 2,700 exhibitors
from 4 to 10 May 2017, coming from
about 60 different countries.
interpack 2017 will put the focus on "Industry
4.0". A special show will take the form
of a Technology Lounge at the VDMA stand,
featuring examples of solutions in packaging
machinery and process engineering and opening
up new opportunities for applications in
security, traceability, copying and counterfeit
protection as well as in customised packaging.
As before, SAVE FOOD will play a role at interpack
2017. A special show called innovationparc
(Innovation Park) will be held, with
packaging ideas and solutions designed to reduce
food losses and waste. The innovationparc
will include a presentation forum which
can be used by companies to showcase their
ideas and solutions.
The first day of the trade fair will also feature
the third international SAVE FOOD convention,
held in partnership with the UN Food and Agriculture
Organisation (FAO) and the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).

pages to help you prepare your visit to
interpack.
‹‹‹ BEHN + BATES present CARE-LINE ›››
BEHN + BATES present the Roto-Packer Adams
CARE-LINE Edition that forms hygienic
plastic bags from the reel. Hygiene was the
focus for developing the complete machine
concept. The number of components is minimised,
there are no parts or screws over the
bags that might fall into the powder, all angles
are slanted, all edges are round. The machine
offers almost no chances for product
dust deposits. behnbates.com
‹‹‹ Bosch: Integrated
topload cartoner ›››
Increasing the convenience it offers to customers,
Bosch Packaging Technology – in
partnership with recently acquired Kliklok
Corporation – will introduce the Kliklok ITC.
The new development boasts one of the
highest speeds available for a solution with
such a small footprint, and has a large carton
size range. This allows manufacturers to save
production space and increase product output
without compromising on quality.
Comprised of a single fully integrated solution
with three functions – carton forming,
loading and closing – the machine helps to
reduce customer footprint with an ergonomic
design, avoiding the need to source
three separate pieces of equipment, to interlink
and integrate them. bosch.com
