Swiss Packaging Award 2022

We just missed being at the top of the top, but were still delighted to be nominated in the Convenience category with our semi-rigid lid made of polypropylene.

We warmly congratulate all the winners on their success and thank the Swiss Packaging Institute SVI for organizing this important industry event.

WorldStar Award 2022

We are proud and happy to receive the WorldStar Award for our Shrink Sleeve 3D-Illusion. Domingo Messerli, Candice Péguet and Florian Ramadani traveled to Milan on May 4 to receive the award on behalf of NYCO Flexible Packaging.

NYCO achieves highest rating in BRC audit

In an unannounced BRC audit in March, NYCO Flexible Packaging achieved the highest rating of AA. The requirement for successful certification is a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points concept (HACCP). This includes the implementation of a risk analysis and critical control points, documented quality management and proof of control of hygiene conditions. Any company that manufactures food packaging, processes food or packages food can be certified according to the BRC standard. The aim is to ensure the safety and traceability of all products in the food sector. The BRC Global Standard for Food Safety is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative.

Flexible packaging for a sustainable future

The motto of this year's EMPACK on March 30/31 in Bern was "The future of packaging". Flexible packaging makes an important contribution to this, as the NYCO team demonstrated on the two days of the show. Along with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and the organizations of the circular economy Switzerland, we presented at the workbenches of the Swiss Packaging Institute SVI, which solutions are available in the field of flexible packaging - from significant material savings to the use of monomaterials and design for recycling.

Thanks to all who visited us at the exhibition.

We are nominated for the Swiss Packaging Award 2022

Make 1 out of 2! This is the idea behind the semi-rigid polypropylene (PP) lid from NYCO. It replaces the lid and the blank with a PP semi-rigid blank that is resistant to first opening and can be reclosed. It offers various advantages: Products that are not consumed immediately are better protected and storable. Monomaterial solutions made of PP are easy to implement while offering high convenience for consumers. Industrial users also benefit: They save logistics costs because the stack height is lower and the second component is omitted. This convinced the expert jury, who nominated our innovation for an award in the Convenience category.

We are looking forward to the award ceremony of the Swiss Packaging Award 2022 on 2 June in Baden, thanking the SVI for organising the competition - and especially our NYCO team for developing and implementing this pioneering innovation.

We will be at the EMPACK in Bern

After a break of two years, EMPACK opens its doors again on March 30/31 in Bern. We are taking part in this event of the Swiss packaging industry, but in a slightly different form than usual: at a workbench, we will provide information about plastic as the packaging material of the future. Roy van den Oudenhoven and Pierre Barth will speak about the contribution of flexible packaging to sustainability during the Packaging Talks. We look forward to seeing you at the show!

German Packaging Award for Shrink Sleeve 3D Illusion

The German Packaging Award ceremony took place on September 28 during Fachpack in Nuremberg. Candice Péguet and Stefan Bögli received the award for the Shrink Sleeve 3D-Illusion in the Design and Finishing category for NYCO.

Shrink Sleeve 3D-Illusion wins the Swiss Packaging Award

After winning the German Packaging Award, our Shrink Sleeve 3D-Illusion has now also won the Swiss Packaging Award 2021. What is special about this shrink sleeve is that the spatial effect is only visually present, but cannot be felt. "This is packaging technology at the highest level and has not been seen before," the jury found. The award ceremony took place on August 17 in Bern.

Shrink Sleeve 3D-Illusion wins German Packaging Award 2021

Portion packaging for cheese highly recyclable

Together with W. u. H. Fernholz GmbH & Co.KG, we have developed a sealing film for the portion packs of Etelser Käsewerk GmbH. In combination with the PP cup, it is highly recyclable. The "Institut cyclos-HTP GmbH" has tested the monomaterial packaging and certified a maximum recyclate yield of almost 100%.

PO-Sleeve gets top mark in Made for Recycling

Our new PO sleeve is "Made for Recycling". It was tested in combination with a PP cup and a transparent PET bottle. Both packaging combinations achieved full marks in all evaluation criteria, i.e. they can be collected and sorted very well in the recycling process and are excellently suited for material recycling or the production of secondary products. The packaging was tested by Interseroh Dienstleistungs GmbH according to the criteria and testing methodology of the bifa Environmental Institute.

Shrink-Sleeve 3D-Illusion nominated for Swiss Packaging Award

We are very pleased about the nomination of our Shrink-Sleeve 3D-Illusion for the Swiss Packaging Award 2021 in the category Technology. With this nomination, the jury acknowledges our novel technology, which makes previously unattainable subtleties in the 3D element possible. To protect shrinkability, brilliance and effect, we developed a special film with coating. The result is so complex that it can be used as a complementary counterfeit protection.

The winners of the Swiss Packaging Award will be announced on 17 August 2021.

NYCO joins industry initiative HolyGrail 2.0

Since the beginning of the year, NYCO Flexible Packaging has been a member of the cross-sector industry initiative HolyGrail 2.0. The aim of this pioneering project is to mark packaging using digital watermarks, thereby simplifying machine sorting for recycling and recovering high-quality recyclate. This is intended to accelerate the development of an efficient circular economy.
