A conference about tamper-evident packaging by LGR during the CPHI, Madrid
On 9th October, 2012 as part of the CPHI show of Madrid, LGR Emballages led a conference on tamper-evident packaging.
After reminding the legal background and requirements of the European Directive 2011/62/EU, LGR Emballages presented different kinds of solutions, underlining criteria that have to be taken into account by laboratories to make a decision. The conference tackled also trends of the market and expected perspectives on the subject.

June, 2012 - LGR-Reine: a large format micro flute line unique in Europe !
The project of the 3rd production line on the Reine Emballages site, located in Veyziat (01), began in 2009 with the first extension of buildings. In 2010-2011 a KBA 205 offset, a large format Bobst folder/gluer and 2 new die-cutters were then set up.
With the new Asitrade corrugating and laminating installation, processing since June 2012, the 2m production line is now complete, with automation between sections.
Such an equipment is unique in Europe in the field of litho-printed laminated boxes !
It allows LGR to widen its large format offer, regarding sheet layout optimization such as possibilities for big boxes. It perfectly illustrates the dynamism of LGR Emballages in industrial investment and its will to remain a reference company in microflute packaging.
March, 2012: end of extension works at Cartonex
The site located in Illiers-Combray (28, France), which is specialized in pharmaceutical folding carton manufacturing, has experienced during the last months a large building transformation to extend the existing plant.
The aim was to set up a sheeter (to cut cardboard from reels according to the needs) and to enlarge storage areas for raw materials and finished goods. A first step in flow automation, especially between board sheeting and offset printing, has also been carried out.
Works have been realized according to the initial planning, without disturbing the production, what was really a great achievement.
This extension is for Cartonex a new step in its development that has been already on going for years.
