Lorge Imprimeurs, a family-run business founded over a hundred years ago, produces self-adhesive labels for a wide range of sectors, including food, cosmetics and beverages. Based in Vénissieux in the Rhône region, the company stands out for its ability to offer tailor-made solutions, whether for small, medium or large production runs.
With a team of over sixty-five employees and a 2,000 m² production site, Lorge Imprimeurs organized a meeting to address a key issue in the packaging industry: reuse. Bringing together brands such as Ecotone, Lactalis, Delpeyrat, Rivoir and Panzani, the printer highlighted washable adhesive labels, a promising solution for facilitating packaging reuse. Here's a look back at the main points discussed at the event.
"Beyond business, we deeply believe in human value. This event is an opportunity for exchanges that truly enrich our collective journey." Didier Loffreda, CEO Lorge Imprimeurs.
The impact of labels on industrial reuse
Labels play a crucial role in container reuse. The main challenge is to develop adhesives that are strong enough to hold the label in place, yet easily removable during industrial washing cycles. Lorge Imprimeurs has demonstrated that these labels can reconcile technical requirements with marketing strength. Indeed, these products enable brands to maintain a strong image while complying with the legal constraints of reuse
The emergence of sustainable packaging solutions
The transition to reusable packaging is increasingly demanded by regulations and consumers alike. In response to this trend, Lorge Imprimeurs, in collaboration with industry experts such as Bocoloco and HP Indigo, highlighted the importance of optimizing the reuse supply chain. Le Fourgon, which specializes in container recovery and redistribution, presented its logistics expertise, highlighting the importance of efficient management of reused container flows.
A legislative framework conducive to innovation
Compliance with the AGEC law (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy) is a major challenge for companies in the packaging sector. The washable labels developed by Lorge Imprimeurs meet the requirements of this legislation by facilitating the reuse of containers.
