Colines reported a strong showing at K 2025, operating two extrusion lines on its stand and a stretch film converting machine engineered by No.El., part of Gruppo Colines Holding since 2022. Over the eight-day fair the company says it received more than 1,000 visitors. The lines represented both blown and cast technologies, installed on Colines' largest booth to date, which included a two-storey hospitality area.
"People showed great enthusiasm and genuine interest in the lines we ran during the show," said Nicola Lombardini, Colines R&D Manager. "Our demonstrations stood out across the fairground and represented the highest technological standards available on the market. The 9-layer Polyblown film line produced barrier film using a special recipe for stand-up pouches containing less than 5% EVOH. This allows the pouches to be classified as mono-material, fully PE-based, and therefore fully recyclable. Sustainability was also a key theme for our cast stretch film line, the flagship Allrollex equipped with AI-based virtual production assistant Mastermind. The line alternately produced 2" coreless HTHW hand wrap rolls and 3" conventional-core HTPS power stretch rolls with reinforced edges. Both products were extruded using 35% PCR material".
These impressions were echoed by Eraldo Peccetti, Colines Executive President and CEO: "I am extremely satisfied with the impressive number and quality of visitors we welcomed during the show. We met between 100 and 150 customers per day, which gave us the opportunity to strengthen partnerships, discuss future projects as well as evaluate retrofits on existing lines. I am very proud of what we achieved at K 2025 and thrilled by the reactions we received: visitors could see and feel first-hand how our stretch film lines have become the market benchmark in in-line coreless film production, where we stay unrivalled, and they experienced the significant progress we have made in the blown film segment, which we re-joined just four years ago. We are highly confident about the upcoming months, as we expect to turn into concrete projects the many discussions started at the show".
Demonstrated film structures and outputs
- Blown film: 9-layer Polyblown barrier film for stand-up pouches, using a formulation with less than 5% EVOH. According to the company, this enables classification as mono-material, fully PE-based, and recyclable.
- Cast stretch film: Allrollex line equipped with AI-based virtual production assistant Mastermind. Alternating production of 2" coreless HTHW hand wrap rolls and 3" conventional-core HTPS power stretch rolls with reinforced edges, both containing 35% PCR.
