Thank you for visiting Opal at AUSPACK 2022

Opal showcased a range of innovative and sustainable packaging solutions and technologies at this year’s AUSPACK 2022.

Our expert team enjoyed welcoming attendees to our stand during AUSPACK 2022, which ran from 17 – 20 May 2022, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Check out our vibrant stand and watch Chris Daly, Executive General Manager Packaging at Opal, say thank you to everyone who came and visited us at AUSPACK 2022.

Some of the highlights from across the four days included networking and meeting new people and our customers face-to-face. It was also great to showcase our fully integrated fibre packaging and the wide range of services, including point of sale, speciality packaging and recycling services.

Our stand featured a live demonstration of our Bandall solution, a high-tech banding and branding technology that reduces packaging material and plastic wrapping and is suitable for a wide range of consumer products.

We also displayed various innovative packaging solutions, including:

  • Digital printing for branded packaging
  • Paper punnets for food and fresh produce, which feature an innovative acetate film produced from wood pulp
  • Linerless box and lid for meat, protein and seafood, which provides a leakproof and fully recyclable solution that removes the need to use plastic poly.

We also had more information about our closed-loop recycling solutions, where used paper and cardboard are collected, recycled and converted into new, value-added packaging.

Also on show were our Olympic Scholastic school books featuring augmented reality memory games, demonstrating the next generation of on-pack consumer engagement.

Thank you for attending!
