Day 1 at ! 🇪🇸🍊🥑🍎

We’re officially underway in Madrid.

We’re showcasing three linerless labelling solutions designed for fresh produce:

🔹 Nobac 5000L – automated linerless fruit lid labelling
🔹 Nobac 5000AL – automated 5000L with automatic tray changes
🔹 Nobac 1500 – automated linerless top & base labelling for MAP trays

From fruit lids to top and base labelling, our technology is helping producers move away from plastic flow wrap and traditional label liners while delivering fast, flexible and retail-ready packaging.

Madrid, we’re bringing the fruit!

'Faux-Avo' has been busy getting ready for Fruit Attraction 2026 - and he’s bringing some serious linerless labelling technology with him 🍊🥑🍎

From 6 - 8 October, we’ll be at IFEMA MADRID, demonstrating how linerless technology can transform labelling across fresh produce.

Come and see:

🔹 Nobac 5000L - linerless fruit lid labelling
🔹 Nobac 5000AL - the automatic version of the 5000L
🔹 Nobac 1500 - top & base labelling to MAP trays

We’ll be showing how Ravenwood’s linerless solutions can deliver efficient, flexible labelling without the waste of a traditional liner or the need for plastic flow wrap.

And, of course, our very own Fauxlafel will be there to keep an eye on things 👀 (BEWARE… guard your bananas, he has a bit of a soft spot for them!) 😅

Have you spotted the NEW Scratch ready meals in Lidl? 👀

We did and we couldn't resist buying the complete range. Well they are linerless after all!

No-label look – the clear PET allows the product and clear tray to remain visible.

✅ 360° branding – the full wrap gives Scratch plenty of space for branding, ingredients, nutritional information and other mandatory information.
✅ Premium, contemporary presentation – particularly suited to the clean, modern ready-meal category.
✅ One continuous label around the pack rather than separate front/back labels.
✅ Linerless – no release liner backing to dispose of, which is the important environmental advantage of the label construction.
✅ Efficient application – the full-wrap format can be applied automatically at high speed on a Ravenwood Nobac 5000 linerless applicator.

We’re counting down to Expo 👀

With the show just around the corner, we’ve been thinking about the conversations we’re most looking forward to on the stand - and they all come back to one thing: how food producers can do more with less 🤔

The answer is clear with linerless.

Across the industry, we’re seeing a clear shift:

✔ Less packaging waste without compromising performance
✔ Greater line efficiency without added complexity
✔ Stronger quality control without slowing production

That’s exactly where our technologies are designed to make a difference.

From linerless labelling with the Nobac 5000 and 1500, to end-of-line inspection with our VXR system, it’s not just about individual machines - it’s about building smarter, more efficient packaging lines.

If you’re attending Foodpro, come and talk to us about the challenges you’re working through. Ian Towsey and Andy be on hand at AD2 throughout the show.

Looking forward to the conversations 🙌

🚨 The packaging industry has a waste problem...

And most people are still ignoring it.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of label liner end up in landfill or incineration - simply because 'that’s how labels have always been made.'

But here’s the truth:

👉 The liner is dead weight.
👉 It can account for up to 40% of a label’s material.
👉 And it adds cost, carbon, downtime… and zero value.

So why are we still using it?

There’s a better way.

Linerless labelling removes the problem entirely.

✔ No backing paper.
✔ No waste stream.
✔ No disposal costs.

Just a smarter system:

✔ More labels per roll (up to 40% more)
✔ Fewer stoppages and higher uptime
✔ Lower transport and storage impact
✔ A significantly reduced carbon footprint

But here’s where most conversations fall short…

Linerless isn’t just a 'label change'. It’s a system change.

Because performance doesn’t come from one component - it comes from everything working together:

• Materials
• Adhesives
• Coating technology
• Application machinery
• Inspection and quality control

That’s what Ravenwood call the 'Circle of Linerless' - a fully integrated, end-to-end ecosystem designed to deliver consistent, faultless performance at scale.

And the impact?

In just one year (2025 for example)
♻️ 82 million m² of liner waste eliminated
🌍 12.1 million kg of CO₂ prevented

This isn’t a future concept. It’s already running across global food production lines, retail shelves and supply chains for many of the world's retailers and food producers.

So the real question is:

👉 Are we ready to move on from outdated labelling…
👉 Or are we going to keep paying for waste we don’t need?

🌍 Ravenwood is revolutionising Fresh Produce Packaging in Mexico! 🥑🍅

We’re thrilled to share a recent success story where ( / ) partnered with Ravenwood, Paper, Pulp & Film, Inc. and Reflex Group to launch linerless, multi‑SKU fresh produce packaging in the Mexican market! 🇲🇽

🔎 Traditionally, fresh produce in Mexico has been dominated by loose formats and plastic packaging. But with growing demand for sustainable solutions and modern retail‑ready formats, a new approach was needed.

📦 What was achieved:

✅ Introduction of linerless labelling applied directly to carton trays
✅ Support for ~20 initial SKUs (e.g., tomatoes, mandarins, apples)
✅ High‑speed application with Ravenwood Nobac 5000L technology
✅ More sustainable packaging with reduced plastic and waste
✅ Positive retailer and consumer response in 30+ stores across Mexico City and beyond 🇲🇽

💡 The move to linerless packaging isn’t just about innovation - it’s a strategic shift toward sustainability and operational efficiency, aligning packaging with evolving consumer preferences and environmental goals.

📊 With plans to scale to more SKUs and regions, this project sets a new benchmark for produce packaging in Mexico - demonstrating how modern labelling technology can transform category performance and shelf appeal.
