London – October 14, 2026 -- Sidel has launched EvoDECO Next, a roll-fed labelling platform that its modelling shows can cut label surface by up to 75% against a conventional wraparound label, saving one high-volume line about €723,000 a year in raw material.

Partial labels cut BOPP use by 208.4 tonnes a year in Sidel's example

The 75% maximum applies to Sidel's illustrated 90° partial-label configuration. A 180° configuration reduces label surface by 50%.

In Sidel's worked example, a 61,000 bottles-per-hour line produces about 459 million bottles a year. Moving from a full wraparound label to a 90° partial label shrinks label area from 20,160 mm2 to 5,040 mm2 per bottle. That cuts BOPP consumption by 208.4 tonnes annually and associated CO2 emissions by 346 tonnes. Sidel says the CO2 and cost figures rest on its own modelling assumptions and may vary with product, material specification and operating conditions.

Minneapolis – – October 14, 2026 -- Fastener master distributor and manufacturer Huyett has entered the structural bolting market with hundreds of items stocked at its La Porte, Texas, location, sold in less-than-full-can quantities.

Huyett stocks A325 bolts, heavy hex nuts and DTI washers in La Porte

The inventory includes A325 bolts, A563 DH nuts, A194 2H nuts, F436 washers and Direct Tension Indicator (DTI) washers, in both standard and visual versions.

Broken-can sales let buyers avoid overstocking

Customers can purchase only the quantities they need rather than full cans. Huyett says this addresses overstock for buyers who do not want to commit to full-can volumes.

CEO Timothy O'Keeffe said Huyett fills a unique channel position as an outlet for large manufacturers, supporting odd lots in what he called a "high-growth product line."
