PRSE 2026 Floor Report | Europe Just Wrote Three Prescriptions — Where Does Asian Machinery Stand?

Speed without precision is just expensive waste. On food packaging floors worldwide, the same hidden profit leaks keep showing up: fragile biscuits crushed at the bottom of bags, multihead weighers pausing mid-cycle because an upstream feeder is bridging, operators balancing on ladders for 40 minutes just to clean a hopper during a flavor changeover.

In flexible packaging and shrink sleeve converting, slitting is the core process that defines both productivity and final product quality.Webcontrol takes slitting performance to the next level by integrating laser scoring technology directly into the slitting systems, transforming conventional converting lines into multifunctional, high-value production solutions.

LDPE film is recycled under a separate process from other plastics because of one physical property that sets it apart from the bottles and containers most people picture when they think of plastic recycling: its extremely low bulk density. In baled form, LDPE film can reach the low density. This creates problems in feeding , inefficiency in drying, and tangle-related damage in sorting machinery that simply do not exist for rigid polymers like PET or HDPE bottles.

We are looking forward to meeting you again at new exhibition center- Vietnam Exposition Center, Hanoi, Vietnam this year. Come and meet us at Hall 1, booth no. E11 from 1 to 4 July. Mr. Chris and Ms. Anna, are extremely anticipated to meet old friends and new customers at Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC). You will see live demonstration of the high speed T-shirt bag making machine CW-1000P2, which can produce 500 T-shirt bags/min.

For years, a persistent myth has circulated within the packaging industry: "Going 100% biodegradable means losing 20% of your output." At the recent CHINAPLAS 2026, this was the most frequent concern raised by manufacturers. The transition to PLA, PBAT, and starch-based blends is often associated with technical headaches—bubble instability, thickness variation, and significant downtime.

As the Targi Kielce exhibition center prepares to host the 30th anniversary of Plastpol, the atmosphere is far from just celebratory. It is clinical. In the three decades since its inception, Plastpol has transformed from a local fair into the strategic outpost for the European plastics industry. In 2026,  global machinery manufacturers must answer a question: How does a traditional industry survive in a high-cost, hyper-regulated, and geopolitically fractured Europe?
