Over the course of the three-day event, SIG exhibited a range of pioneering packaging solutions and cutting-edge filling technologies.

At the conference, SIG introduced its flagship small-size carton packaging solutions, namely the SIG XSlimBloc and SIG SmileSmall. The SIG XSlim 24 filling machine, capable of filling 24,000 SIG XSlimBloc carton packs per hour, offers the flexibility to accommodate nine different volume sizes, ranging from 80ml to 200ml, on the same filling line.

Similarly, the SIG SmileSmall 24 filling machine enables the filling of 24,000 carton packs per hour, with the ability to switch between four volumes (180ml to 250ml), reducing costs, time, and waste rates. The SIG SmileSmall variant offers options for straws or closures and allows for the filling of beverages containing particulates.

SIG emphasized the quick and easy volume changeover on its filling machines, requiring less than 15 minutes for maximum flexibility.

Additionally, SIG highlighted carton packaging in family sizes, particularly focusing on the SIG SlimlineBloc and SIG MidiBloc, available in volume sizes ranging from 500ml to 1,000ml.
