INNO-Pouch: Smart Pouches - Digital, compliant, tight

INNO-Pouch 2026 (9th European Stand-Up Pouch Conference) focuses on the three key pillars of modern flexible packaging: digitalisation, compliance and technical performance. Discover how AI-supported design and digital features are accelerating the development of recyclable stand-up pouches. We will show you practical ways to meet the strict requirements of EU regulations (including the PPWR) in a legally compliant manner. A key technical focus is on the challenge of ‘tightness’ – how mono-materials can maintain maximum barrier performance and seal strength despite reduced complexity. Under the theme “Mastering Circularity”, we bridge the gap between material innovation and economic marketability. This conference offers experts from across the entire value chain an exclusive platform for strategic exchange and technical benchmarking. Take advantage of the Innoform Group’s collective expertise to make your stand-up pouches future-proof.

wattron GmbH

Digital Sealing - enabling data driven process and quality monitoring

watttrons digitals sealing technology is enabler for data driven packaging processes
temperature as well as power consumption data is recorded and used to evaluate the sealing process
several use-cases are possible based on the data acquisition, such as seal quality evaluation, packaging material evaluation, predictive maintenance etc.
watttron already has implemented this feature into packaging processes in production environment
