Zappe's solutions for interpack 2026

Innovative materials, medical packaging, smart manufacturing

We address the hot topics of interpack 2026 with concrete consulting and solution expertise: from film packaging, thermoforming, blister sealing, skin packaging, and die-cutting to robotics, cobots, PPWR-oriented packaging consulting, and tailored machine series for medical applications.

interpack 2026 sets the tone for the packaging industry—especially in the areas of smart manufacturing and innovative materials. Zappe translates these topics into concrete, cost-effective, and technically robust solutions: with consulting expertise in packaging technology, process optimization, automation, and the further development of sophisticated applications for the medical sector.
Even without our own booth, we are happy to assist you with project-related discussions and technical evaluations throughout interpack 2026.

Process optimization and automation with Zappe

Smart Manufacturing

Smart manufacturing is one of the key themes at interpack 2026. Zappe supports companies in optimising existing packaging processes and developing new automation solutions – from improving individual process steps to designing complete packaging cells.

Our consulting and solution expertise covers, in particular, automation, robotics, cobots, handling, feeding, cycle time optimisation and retrofit concepts. This is not just about higher output, but above all about more robust processes, reduced manual intervention and economically viable automation.

Typical consulting topics

Automation of manual or semi-automated packaging processes
Use of robots and cobots in handling and packaging applications
Cycle time improvement and line offloading
Machine adaptations and integration concepts
Technical evaluation of new packaging tasks

Ensuring new materials are safely integrated into the process

Innovative Materials

The ‘Innovative Materials’ Hot Topic focuses on new materials and material-related packaging concepts. New films, recycling-friendly concepts and material-optimised solutions have a direct impact on machinery, tools, sealing behaviour and process stability.

Zappe supports this development not only through machine technology, but above all through consultancy. Thanks to our extensive network of film manufacturers, we help our customers to assess new material concepts at an early stage and to evaluate their technical feasibility thoroughly. Furthermore, we possess comprehensive expertise in the field of cardboard-based packaging solutions and related applications.

Our consulting approach combines an understanding of materials, process know-how, machine and tool design, as well as economic feasibility and subsequent scalability in production.

Packaging solutions in light of the new EU regulation

PPWR Consultancy

With the introduction of the PPWR, packaging requirements in Europe are set to rise significantly. Zappe is here to advise you on these matters. Our particular strength lies in combining technical expertise in packaging with process and machinery know-how, as well as access to a network of film and material manufacturers.
We do not merely provide abstract advice on regulations, but also offer support with the technical design of PPWR-compliant packaging solutions. This consultancy service delivers real added value, particularly where changes in materials or packaging modifications have a direct impact on thermoforming, sealing, die-cutting or film processing.

A single point of contact for complex packaging challenges

Many packaging projects fail not because of individual technologies, but due to the interfaces between materials, machinery, processes, automation and regulatory requirements. This is precisely where Zappe comes in.
We bring these elements together and work with you to develop robust solutions for complex packaging challenges – practical, cost-effective and with a clear focus on technical feasibility.
