Result Goes “Back-to-Back” at Worldstar Awards with Herma InNo Liner, Championed by Hanes Australasia
For the second consecutive year, Result Group has been honoured with the prestigious Worldstar award, this time for its Herma InNo Liner Linerless Labelling System.
Hanes Australasia, a major player in the apparel industry with brands like Bonds and Champion, has been a forerunner in adopting this sustainable solution. Their commitment to achieving zero waste by 2025 aligns perfectly with the eco-friendly nature of the Herma InNo Liner. With the installation of multiple Herma InNo Liner units, Hanes has already seen a reduction of over 2.0 tonnes of waste, highlighting the system’s effectiveness.
The system, operational at Hanes Australasia’s Melbourne Distribution Centre, functions without the need for liner materials or silicon coatings, thus eliminating a significant source of waste.
Herma InNo Liner, distributed exclusively in Australia and New Zealand by Result Group, represents a revolution in the packaging industry. This innovative machine will be showcased at Result Group’s APPEX booth E030 from March 12th to 15th.
The collaboration between Herma, a renowned leader in self-adhesive technology, and Result Group, a major distributor of packaging and labelling solutions in Australia and New Zealand, illustrates a successful synergy in the field of innovative packaging solutions.
Herma, based in Germany, has established itself as a trailblazer in the world of self-adhesive label technology. With a rich history of innovation, the company specialises in developing high-quality adhesive materials, and advanced labelling machines. Herma’s commitment to sustainability and technological advancement has made them a key player in the global packaging industry.
Result Group, on the other hand, has shaped a niche for itself as a vital link between global innovations and the Australian and New Zealand markets. For over a decade, Result Group has been at the forefront of introducing cutting-edge packaging and labelling solutions to these regions, focusing on sustainability and efficiency.
The partnership between Herma and Result Group is grounded in a shared vision of bringing sustainable, efficient, and innovative packaging solutions to the market. This collaboration has been instrumental in introducing Herma’s state-of-the-art products, including the groundbreaking Herma InNo Liner machine, to a wider audience.
“In a world where sustainability is not just a goal but a necessity, the Herma InNo Liner system stands as a testament to innovation meeting purpose. Our partnership with Herma and the early adoption by Hanes Australasia demonstrate a shared vision of progress and responsibility. Winning the Worldstar award for the second consecutive year is a recognition of our commitment to revolutionise packaging with sustainable and groundbreaking solutions and technology,” said Michael Dossor, Group General Manager, Result Group.
The Herma InNo Liner system stands out in the packaging industry for its remarkable benefits, spearheading a new era in sustainable labelling solutions. Its key advantages include:
- Zero Liner Waste: Completely eliminating the need for liners and reducing materials by 50% from day one.
- No Liner means no waste; thus removing waste disposal costs.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Lower transport volume, storage space and weight lead to decreased CO2 emissions.
- Increased Efficiency: More material per roll results in fewer roll changes and reduced material consumption.
- Innovative Design: No issues with torn backing paper, and the ability to produce variable label lengths and widths.
- Eco-Friendly: Free from silicone and other additives, enabling a chemical free material into the board recycling process.
The InNo Liner machine from Herma stands as a testament to the potential for innovation in the packaging industry. It exemplifies how technology can be deployed to meet the needs of businesses while also addressing critical environmental concerns. As more companies seek sustainable solutions, the Herma InNo Liner machine is poised to play a pivotal role in the future of eco-friendly packaging.
The best part is the materials are cheaper than current Self-Adhesive options currently being used. The ROI is strong, and the sustainability target box is well and truly ticked.
Result Group’s Group General Manager, Michael Dossor, emphasises the company’s dedication to sourcing innovative global solutions. Herma’s breakthrough in multi-layer adhesive technology, combined with efficient applicator design, has made Herma InNo Liner a game-changer in tertiary carton labelling.
“Our relationship with Herma goes beyond the mere distribution of a product. It’s a partnership that combines Herma’s expertise in self-adhesive label technology with our insights into the Australasian market’s needs. This collaboration has allowed us to introduce innovative solutions like the Herma InNo Liner, setting new standards in sustainability and efficiency.
As we celebrate the successes of the InNo Liner system, including its recognition in the PIDA 2023 Sustainable Packaging Design of the Year and the Labelling and Decoration Design of the Year, we also look forward to the future. This system is more than just a sustainable option; it enhances the supply chain with capabilities for advanced tracking and reduced carbon footprint, aligning with global sustainability goals” and in a space where sustainable options sometimes cost more the Herma InNo Liner does not, it saves at every level, said Dossor.
The partnership between Herma and Result Group extends beyond the InNo Liner machine. Together, the companies are continuously exploring new technologies and solutions to meet the evolving needs of the packaging and labelling industry. This ongoing collaboration is a beacon of innovation, sustainability, and market responsiveness.
As we continue to work together, Herma and Result Group are setting new benchmarks in the packaging industry. Their partnership is a vivid example of how collaboration can drive technological advancement and sustainable practices, benefiting not only the industries they serve but also contributing to a more environmentally conscious world.
