Graphic Packaging International (GPI) said it will introduce a new packaging machinery system and robotic integration capabilities for the beverage industry at drinktec 2017 event in Germany.
The company is also unveiling other machinery and carton solutions at the event.
GPI will exhibit ReShape, a technology which will enable the beverage producers to pack their products in cartons with required shapes and configurations.
GPI packaging machinery division director Doug Hicks said: "ReShape opens up many options in beverage packaging. The system can both internally and externally nest primary containers to create a variety of shapes and sizes with the potential to use less fiber. Also, unique handle designs deliver added comfort and strength."
