Givenchy, the famous French Couture and Fragrance Company, has just taken delivery of a Marden Edwards TM100FF in line, lateral edge seal, overwrapping machine for over wrapping their high quality range of skin care products, Tone it Tender.
t is now nearly a year since I wrote the “Overwrapping films come full circle†and nearly six months since the Packaging and the Environment the Role of Film Overwrapping” articles. The purpose of this article is to bring some of this information up to date and to outline some of the developments within biodegradable films and specifically their application to overwrapping. There are now three competing technologies for biodegradable overwrapping films. These are films made from polypropylene, films made from polylactic acid (corn starch) and finally films made from cellophane (wood pulp).
Marden Edwards has just completed the latest Tabexpo exhibition in Paris, France. Tabexpo is the foremost exhibition for the tobacco industry, bringing together machinery suppliers for both primary processing and packaging machines, materials suppliers and end users. Held every four years, Tabexpo is now owned by Tobacco Reporter magazine who will soon be announcing the venue for the next Tabexpo in four years time.
