Coveris has committed an additional £1 million to its Linerless Labelling Centre of Excellence in Spalding, UK, bringing the total investment at the site to £2.5 million. The company is focused on expanding its linerless labelling capabilities, which have grown significantly since the programme’s launch in late 2022.
The Spalding facility is the only dedicated linerless label manufacturing site in the UK, producing over a billion labels annually for the UK and European FMCG sectors. This latest investment has funded the installation of a new ten-colour MPS flexographic press, which went live in June 2025. The press, capable of printing on both paper and filmic substrates, will help meet increasing demand in markets like ready meals and food-on-the-go.
This new equipment supports Coveris’ commitment to sustainable labelling by reducing waste and enabling faster set-up times. It also offers 100% web inspection to enhance quality and cold foil embellishment for high-impact finishes. The investment is designed to meet growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions across various applications, including Slidewrap and punnet labels.
