In an interview with Dase-Sing Group in 2020, executive assistant Tony Huang said that the COVID-19 crisis would impact packaging design, material, and size. He based this on the growing demand specifically for health/healthy products. At the same time, he said consumers are also purchasing products such as bottled water in big or family sizes. Tony Huang, executive assistant, Dase-Sing Group Dase-Sing, which is a specialist in automatic rotogravure printing labels and automatic sleever machines, aims to meet these new market requirements.  “The growing online buying trend also means that manufacturers will emphasise on promotion frequency and optimum product impact. Since the focus is on health products, strategic promotion will use innovative packaging as a major consideration as well,” Mr Huang said. READ MORE More Products: DASE-SING GROUP SHOWROOM 

New ways to extend product shelf life are further helping companies and consumers reduce cost and waste. Shelf life, or the amount of time a product maintains its safety and quality before chemical or microbial changes occur, can be prolonged in many ways, from better formulations to the use of innovative packaging, and of course the processing methods and distribution.   Millisecond technology (MST) in particular is a pasteurisation technique that offers fresh shelf life in non-aseptic packaging for greater than 45 days, or more. For dairy, and even plant-based milks and fruit juices, MST pasteurisation is said to leave nutrients and natural flavours intact. The patented technology comes from Millisecond Technologies Corp (MSTC) and JCS Process and Control Systems (JCS), and is featured in the  processing  section of  FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal . In Southeast Asia, JCS partners with Nu Agri Asia, a Philippines-based consulting company for F&B.   This issue also contains inf

  Dase-Sing manufactures automatic rotogravure printing labels, automatic sleever machines and shrink labels and films. The Taiwan-based company was established in 1985, and has since become a fast-developing packaging company.   Among its auto shrink sleeving equipment, the DSV-BP is a popular range consisting of   single-head sleeve labellers with a unique cut plate design, and operate at 200 to 450 bottles per minute.  Apart from these, the  DSV-BP   features Ethernet-based servo drive for communication; 100 formulas are built in to provide users with more convenient switching. When the conveyor belt speed changes, the sleeve label continues to run without stopping the machine. It has an optional bottom wrapping machine to produce high-quality packaging, and the multi-roll material rack extends the label replacement time.  READ MORE More Products: DASE-SING SHOWROOM

Women have always been under-represented in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) workforce, and a 2019 report by UNESCO illustrated the true extent of this. It showed that in no part of the world, except for a few countries, do women outnumber men in the Research & Development workforce. Globally, less than 30% of those working in research fields were women.  There can be no doubt that women are starting to represent a higher proportion of the science and engineering workforce. However, any increases follow on from very low starting points. According to the US Census, for example, women working in engineering occupations increased from 3% in 1970, to 15% in 2019 [1] . That same year , there were more than 6.3 million female scientists and engineers working in the EU, accounting for 41% of total employment in science and engineering [2] .   In Asia specifically, there were found to be key differences across the continent. A handful of countries buck the glo

As the trend for plant-based alternatives grows across the globe, FrieslandCampina introduces a vegan innovation.  The ingredient called Kievit® Vana-Monte V98 allows bakers to use it for Crème Chantilly (whipped cream), making it attractive to vegan as well as non-vegans (flexitarians). Desserts manufacturers can make chocolate or fruit mousse, and ice cream based upon Kievit® Vana-Monte V98. "We are seeing the global trend for more plant-based alternatives transfer more and more to the bakery, desserts and ice cream industries and we are delighted to support our partners and consumers all over the world with giving them a vegan alternative for the perfect Crème Chantilly and sweet or acidic mousses,” says Suzanne van den Eshof , Global Head of Marketing Food Industry at FrieslandCampina.“We consider it our mission to bring our valued partners and consumers every opportunity to make their own creations exactly to their and the market’s liking, and we’re proud of this new chapter
