Paul Hogan, founder of MPH, said: ‘We are absolutely delighted to have finally got on board with Ravenwood’s linerless technology. It’s something that we have wanted to do since MPH was founded in 2004. Over the past year, we have received an accelerated amount of linerless enquiries so the time seemed right to partner with Ravenwood.’

The Comac Coater is designed to work with Ravenwood’s Nobac 500 flagship linerless label applicator. This machine allows for the application of multiple release and adhesive lines, coating the labels with silicone on the front and adhesive on the back. The Comac works continuously through the label reel at a pace of 450 feet per minute. Other features include various line widths from 3mm up to 25mm, a nitrogen inerted silicone system and hotmelt adhesive.

MPH adds this technology to its already diverse mix of products and services. In addition to self-adhesive food labeling, MPH provides labels for the toiletry and beauty industry, and offers 2 Ply Peal and Resealable, Thermoforming, as well as the MEDI-Clear compliance packaging range which helps ensure that patients take the right medication at the correct time.

Paul Beamish, MD of Ravenwood Packaging, said: ‘Paul and I have known each other for many years and I am thrilled he’s now added linerless to his portfolio of products.’
