Clariant extends capabilities for its continuous strip desiccant packets on reels for high-speed automated packaging lines

As industries increasingly adopt automated packaging solutions, the demand for desiccant formats that can keep pace with high-speed production lines has intensified. Clariant’s continuous strip desiccants answers this need by offering a ready-to-use format that eliminates manual handling and helps reduce labor costs through high-speed reel-fed desiccant loading systems. Compatible with existing desiccant insertion equipment, these strips help reduce inventory complexity and setup, allowing manufacturers to streamline their operations without costly equipment modifications.

Packaging Trends 2026: Sustainability, Intelligence and Consumer Experience

Driven by rigorous global regulatory pressure (such as the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation – PPWR) and growing consumer awareness, the industry is redefining its purpose. Today’s packaging must not only protect the product, but also be a vehicle of the circular economy, a source of digital information and a driver of the shopping experience, even in dynamic markets like Latin America.
