"Brands are doing Brands, CoPackers ar doing the Packaging" - With Ton Knipscheer and Joergen Pleijte @Interpack2026

In this episode of the Innoform Podcast, recorded live at Interpack in Düsseldorf, I sat down with Ton Knipscheer from the European Co-Packers Association (ECPA) and Jurgen Pleitier from Vetipack to talk about the often overlooked world of co-packers. We discuss: What co-packers actually do — and why they have become essential for many brandsWhy brand owners are increasingly focusing on marketing and sales while outsourcing production and packagingHow co-packers support packaging development, sourcing, and even product manufacturingWhy flexibility and fast machine changeovers are critical in today’s marketThe growing role of mono-material and paper-based packaging solutionsHow co-packers help brands navigate PPWR, EPR, and future packaging requirementsKey trends and insights from this year’s Interpack exhibitionOne of the most interesting takeaways: many co-packers today are far more than service providers — they are innovation partners helping brands bring products to market faster and more efficiently. A great episode for everyone interested in packaging, sustainability, supply chains, and the future of manufacturing partnerships.

PE extrusion, raw material crisis and a calm view onto the current challenges - With Heiko Schenk

In this episode I talk to Heiko Schenck who is an expert for LPDE in film applications. He has decades of experience with Dow and DuPont and so has a more calm view on current crises and can relate to other crises from the past. This episode is dubbed with AI. Far away from perfect but it is understandable and we can articulate everything in our mother tongue. Nevertheless I am looking forward to have a podcast in English with you. So if you are interested feel free to contact me: JT@innoform.eu

Solvent-free flexographic printing - with Dieter Niederstadt from Asahi Photoproducts

Flexographic Printing, Solvent Zero & Automation in Plate Processing In this episode of the Innoform Podcast, Julian Thielen speaks with Dieter Niederstadt from Asahi Photoproducts about current innovations in flexographic printing, water-wash plates, and automation in flexo plate production. The conversation focuses on the shift toward Solvent Zero: replacing solvent-based plate processing with water-wash technology and closed-loop recycling systems. With up to 90% water reuse and no VOC emissions, flexo plate processing is becoming significantly more sustainable while maintaining industrial performance. Another key topic is full automation in flexographic workflows. Together with partners such as Esko and Allstein, integrated systems now connect imaging (CDI), LED exposure (XPS), washout, drying and cutting in one automated process. The result: standardized quality, reduced operator dependency, and shorter processing times. The episode also discusses: Water-based inks in flexible packaging Flexo vs. rotogravure printing Printing on PCR and MDO substrates The impact of European PPWR regulations This episode is relevant for converters, packaging manufacturers, print professionals and brand owners looking to improve sustainability, productivity and print quality in flexible packaging.
