From 22 to 24 September 2026, Malherbe Packaging will be exhibiting at CFIA Toulouse at the MEETT exhibition centre. For its second participation in this major industry event in Toulouse, the Groupe Tonnellier production site specialising in food packaging will showcase several solutions designed for food industry manufacturers. This presence will provide an opportunity to highlight two key areas of expertise: copacking and skin packaging.
CFIA Toulouse: a key event for food packaging discussions
CFIA Toulouse brings together food industry suppliers and manufacturers around three main sectors, including packaging and processing solutions.
For Malherbe Packaging, the exhibition is above all an opportunity to engage directly with manufacturers and discuss their packaging challenges.
The Groupe Tonnellier’s expertise extends far beyond pharmaceutical leaflets and associated printed materials. Within the Group, Malherbe develops solutions dedicated to food packaging, combining expertise in printing and converting across a variety of substrates. The Group’s website notably lists folding cartons among the solutions offered by Malherbe for this market.
Participating in CFIA Toulouse therefore helps raise the profile of packaging expertise that addresses very practical challenges, such as simplifying packaging projects and controlling the various stages of production.
Copacking: bringing converting and packaging together within a single project
Working with multiple suppliers can quickly make a packaging project more complex. Printing, converting, assembly and packaging activities must all be coordinated while maintaining the expected quality standards at every stage.
Through its copacking services, Malherbe Packaging offers an approach based on a simple principle: providing a single point of contact capable of managing several operations within the same project.
Depending on the customer’s requirements, this organisation may cover packaging design, printing and converting of packaging and related components, assembly, packaging operations and certain preparation tasks.
For manufacturers, the benefits are primarily operational. It reduces the number of interfaces involved and simplifies project management. Every stage is integrated into a consistent process, with the same commitment to quality from converting through to final packaging.
Copacking therefore illustrates the evolution of Malherbe Packaging’s business: going beyond packaging production to support its implementation through a comprehensive end-to-end solution.
Skin Packaging: improving peelability to facilitate material separation
Skin packaging is another concrete example of the work carried out by Malherbe Packaging for the food industry.
In this type of packaging, a skin film conforms closely to the product and is combined with a solid board backing covered with a liner film. While this structure meets presentation and packaging requirements, the use of multiple materials also raises an end-of-life question: how can their separation be made easier?
Malherbe Packaging’s work focuses in particular on packaging peelability. The objective is to make it easier for users to separate the films from the cardboard backing.
This approach makes it possible to integrate end-of-life considerations into the packaging design process from the outset. Separability therefore becomes a genuine development criterion, alongside industrial requirements and packaging functionality.
At CFIA Toulouse, let’s discuss your cardboard packaging projects
This second participation in CFIA Toulouse will allow Malherbe Packaging’s teams to showcase these areas of expertise while, above all, confronting them with the real needs of food manufacturers.
Copacking, skin packaging, carton packaging and packing services address different challenges. However, they all share a common objective: finding a solution tailored to the product, manufacturing constraints and expected end-use requirements.
From converting to packaging, our teams can assess every component of a packaging project and identify solutions adapted to its industrial environment.
Do you have a packaging project or are you looking to improve an existing solution? Meet the Malherbe Packaging team at CFIA Toulouse, from 22 to 24 September 2026 at the MEETT exhibition centre, to discuss your specific requirements.
