Beck Automation presents four-cavity IML machines for coffee capsules
Fresh coffee straight out of a coffee capsule has been one of the most popular ways to make a good cup of coffee for years. The classic disposable coffee capsule’s job is actually quite varied: the coffee aroma has to completely develop even though the capsules have a long shelf life. The capsule has to convey the feeling of lifestyle and luxury you get from enjoying a good cup of coffee. It should also ensure brand recognition and provide information about the contents. Once used, the packaging should be disposed of easily while demonstrating that it is environment-friendly, both during manufacture and when in use.
What might seem straightforward at first glance, is becoming increasingly difficult to communicate to consumers – a good example of this is aluminium capsules. The environmental awareness of consumers has noticeably been on the increase in recent years. A multi-component injection molding solution with barrier properties plus IML decoration could be just the right answer. This saves resources and gives the packaging a more premium look. IML users know the traditional strengths of IML: visually appealing packaging.
