The annual conference for the Australian Institute of Packaging kicked off today, with companies such as KHS, Linpac Packaging, and AI Group sharing new concepts.

The products are placed singly and compactly on a tray, which can be individually printed, with the outside edges providing space for clear brand messages.

This will enable more retailers to effectively display milk, soft drinks and food products such as vegetable oils and sauces.

The company says the concept, which is also available as a block unit if required, holds potential for cost and material savings.
