Sidel Unveils EvoDECO Next to Slash Label Material Usage

The system reconfigures the standard wraparound approach by utilizing a rotary cutting device mounted on the transfer drum. This allows for shorter labels—configured at 90° or 180°—without compromising line performance. For a facility producing 61,000 bottles per hour, Sidel estimates that a 90° partial-label shift could eliminate 208.4 tonnes of BOPP consumption annually, alongside a reduction of 346 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

Technological refinements underpin these gains. The platform incorporates a Smart Buffer to maintain nominal production speeds during reel changes, and a Smart Camera system that eliminates the need for traditional reference marks. According to Anne Philippe Lafon, Product Manager at Sidel, this architecture removes the historical trade-off between industrial efficiency and branding flexibility. By integrating these components, the company aims to reduce total cost of ownership while supporting its broader JUST label initiative.
