Matthews Australasia says it will expand on its range of in-line labellers now it is the Australasian agent for Compact Labelling Systems.

Compact's automatic and semi-automatic models are easy to set up and are low maintenance, according to general manager Mark Dingley.

"There is also minimal downtime and maximum efficiency, so manufacturers can confidently run their labellers for even the most demanding production lines," he says.

"The modular designs have a smaller footprint, are simple to use, and cost-effective to operate.”

Compact’s automatic, inline labellers suit top labelling, wrap labelling, wrap labelling with seam orientation, front and back, a combination of front and back and wrap, wrap labels oriented to flip marks on tubes, and wrap labelling or partially wrap labelling cones.

The portable semi-automatic models suit slower production lines, low volumes or short runs to label bottles, jars, tubs, cans and tubes.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
