Offering an easy-to-use experience to users, reclose labelling has an incorporated aperture window that enables packaging to be resealed once opened.

The labelling provides convenient in-pack storage and helps reduce food waste at home. It also helps brands and retailers to use a reclose function to specific packs or pack sizes.

Last year, Coveris’ UK flexibles division installed two Windmöeller & Höelscher Miraflex 8-colour presses, including one at its Gainsborough site.

Recently, a new slitter with punch capabilities was added to the finishing portfolio at the Gainsborough factory.
