INNOVIA: MONOSTRUCTURE FILMS
Global packaging company Innovia Films has announced the introduction of a new film as part of its Propafilm Strata range. The transparent mono-structure’s properties make it ideal for the confectionery, biscuit and bakery packaging markets. The high barrier SLF solution is a chlorine-free product designed to deliver effective barriers to oxygen, moisture, aroma and mineral oils. It has a wide sealing range making it suitable for high-speed horizontal-form-fill-seal packaging. The Cumbria-based business has been able to develop a new barrier film that not only has outstanding oxygen and aroma barrier properties, but also has enhanced moisture barrier over standard PP films. This yields the possibility to increase product shelf life and reduce food waste. SLF is printable, glossy and is globally food contact compliant. SLF has also been classified as ‘Made for Recycling’ by Interseroh.
It can be classified as ‘recycle ready’, or recyclable in countries,
which have the
infrastructure
to recycle PP.
TULIP: DUAL PACK
Food producers continue
to look for new ways to
bring convenience to
fruition. Danish Crown
Foods has introduced a
new dual pack for its
Tulip brand for the
Swedish market. The
Mild Mini salami launch is
packed in separate
portion bags. The
divisible packaging
designed for easy
snacking and has two
main functional
advantages. By making
the pack in two parts with
a salami of 10 grams in each bag, the salami can easily be shared with a friend or alternatively eaten in two batches throughout the day. Tulip Mild Mini-salami is flavoured with dried vegetables and has been developed to appeal to the whole family. This pack speaks to the trends of portion control and food waste prevention.
CAPPUCINO 3CORAÇÕES: CONVENIENT CLOSURE
Brazilian coffee brand Cappuccino 3Corações has introduced new closure
technology developed by Crystal Lake, Illinois-based global manufacturer of
consumer dispensing packaging Aptar. It promises to add convenience and
functionality and will be introduced in the Brazil market in 200 and 400-gram packs.
Bonded Aluminium to Plastic (BAP) technology has been used. The aluminium seal
is welded to the cap plastic. After filling, it is welded back into the pack to ensure the
integrity of the contents. Consumer research identified the main focus for improvement related to the consumption experience. The new pack brings a hots of functional advantages such as ease of opening, ease of closing, airtight seal between the lid and the bottle and wide opening for easy access of the contents. The lid has an integrated flip-top closure. The one-piece pack has fewer disposable parts. Opening the pack is now more intuitive with the aluminium seal coming out in full. The elimination of the thread achieves a 16 per cent lighter pack. 3Corações estimates an annual reduction of 40 tons of plastic with the new packaging compared to the previous design.
