Food manufacturers have a choice. For long-life foods,
there’s a wealth of packaging options they can choose
from to place their products on the market. Many of
these options have been around for decades, and their
acceptance has developed over time.
However, for any manufacturer looking to select a
packaging system these days, the smart money is l ooking
beyond the tried and trusted. What is needed are modern
packaging solutions that provide optimal protection for
the foods they contain, offer flexibility, are convenient to
use, have a superlative environmental profile – and, at
the end of the day, are cost-effective as well.
This is where carton packs from SIG Combibloc tick
all the boxes: our aseptic combibloc carton packs and the
retortable combisafe carton packs for foods with particu-
late content, ensure food products are optimally protected
and retain their high quality over a prolonged period.
Carton packs are among the most environmentally friendly
packaging solutions available for long-life foods.
Thanks to their rectangular base and their light weight,
carton packs are not just hugely convenient in the
consumer’s daily routine – t hey’re unbeatably effi cient
when it comes to transport logistics as well. And on the
warehouse pallets and supermarket shelves of the retail
chain too, carton packs are real space-saving miracles,
permitting an optimal use of shelf space and an effi cient
distribution process.
With flexible packaging and filling options, high perfor-
mance and low wastage rates, food filling machines from
SIG Combibloc are designed to pave the way to a profit-
able future for your business, and help you create mo-
dern packaging solutions today that will continue i n the
future to give consumers an appetite for your product.

engineering and installation of the filling equipment,
and full after-sales service, are also integral components
of our offer.

page 22A real logistical marvel
Thanks to their compact, rectangular
shape, carton packs have a number
of adv antages over other packaging
solutions when it comes to transport
and distribution logistics. They stack
extremely w ell – in a truck, in
a w arehouse and on a supermarket
shelf. Secondary packaging can be
k ept to a minimum, and resources
used efficiently. This reduces, for
example emissions, cuts consumption
of fossil resources, and lowers costs.

It is in the nature of things that when it comes to long-life
foods, carton packs are more than just an alternative to
well-known packaging systems such as food metal cans
or glass jars. Because no other packaging solution is
made almost entirely from a natural raw material. Our
carton packs are manufactured up to around 75 per cent
from wood, a renewable resource. If the wood originates
from forests that are managed properly and responsibly,
this natural raw material is available in a virtually infinite
supply. And because wood is largely carbon-neutral, it
does not alter the CO 2 balance in the atmosphere. That
makes our carton packs unique in the packaging mix for
long-life foods and beverages, and has a positive effect
on the environmental performance of the products and
the manufacturing processes of our customers.
This crucial competitive advantage is set to carry ev
more weight in the future: w ithout sustainable man
turing processes that turn out sustainable products
term sales success will be difficult – and that includ
packaging. By opting for our carton packs, our cust
are therefore making a sustainable decision: enviro
mentally, and financially.
Of course, our carton packs and closures are fully r
clable and suitable for all local and national recycli
waste management options.

A Europe-wide, independently verified and ISO-compliant
life-cycle assessment conducted in 2009 has shown that,
compared to other packaging solutions for long-life
foods, using carton packaging can save CO2 emissions
and the consumption of fossil resources, respectively, by
up to 60 per cent. In this study, the Institute for Energy
and Environmental Research (IFEU) compared food
metal cans, glass jars, carton packs and plastic stand-up
pouches.
In the life-cycle assessment, all the key environmen
relevant factors and processes that come into play
throughout the product life-cycle of the packaging
critically examined and evaluated: beginning with
extraction and refining of the raw material used to
the packaging, through the processes of manufactu
and transporting the finished packages, the packag
the food, and distribution up to the retailing stage,
up to the recycling or disposal of the packaging aft
This type of evaluation is the only assessment meth
that examines the environmental profile of a packa
as a whole, rather than just focusing on a single as
In the study, the combibloc aseptic carton pack and
retortable combisafe carton pack have the best res

striking findings are the positive results in the impa
egories ‘Consumption of fossil resources’, ‘Use of p
energy sources’, and ‘CO2 output/climate change’. T
study shows that in terms of fossil resource consum

SIG Combibloc is the first manufacturer of carton packs for food products to have
all its production sites world-wide certified in accordance with the criteria of the
FSC® for a continuous product chain of custody (CoC).
For food manufacturers, it is a given that many of the
ingredients for their products originate from controlled
cultivation and are traceable. In our carton packs, these
manufacturers find the perfect partner, because what
is true for the food should naturally be no different for
the packaging. To manufacture our carton packs, we use
only wood fibres originating from certified, responsibly
managed and other controlled sources.
To ensure that this happens, we have had our production
sites and sales organisations world-wide certified in
accordance with the internationally binding criteria of
the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) for a continuous
product chain of custody. All our suppliers of raw paper-
board are also certified in accordance with the FSC prod-
uct chain of custody standard. This means we are able
to offer our customers all over the world carton packs
displaying the FSC label. The label provides a verification
that appropriate quantities of wood originating from
FSC-certified, well-managed forestry or other controlled
sources were used to manufacture the raw paperboard.

Every saving on space and weight means emissions arereduced, the consumption of fossil resources is cut, and
costs are lowered.
And they also make very good use of the space on
the supermarket shelves: Thanks to their rectangular
form, carton packs need 30 per cent less space than
food metal cans.
The exceptionally good transport and distribution logis-tics properties of carton packs have a beneficial impact
on the environment, and at the same time help to lower
costs. SIG Combibloc carton packs are transported to
the food manufacturers’ production plants as flat folded
sleeves. This means the loading volume of a lorry can be
used to maximum benefit.
And even after the carton packs have been filled, a trucktransporting full packages to distributors is carrying
around 95 per cent content, and just 5 per cent pack-
aging. Because carton packs, thanks to their compact,
rectangular shape and their unbreakableness, stack
extremely well and utilise the full capacity of palettes,
and therefore also trucks and warehouse facilities.
Compared to glass containers for food products, carton
packs can reduce package weight by up to 93 per cent
– another logistical advantage that speaks for itself.
A truck transporting full carton packs is carrying around
95 per cent product, and just 5 per cent packaging.

It is not just food manufacturers and retailers who want
convenient handling when dealing with food packaging.
These days, convenience is a key consideration for con-
sumers. In this respect, carton packs are ideal for everyday
use: lightweight, space-saving, stackable, unbreakable
and, with perforations and closures, very convenient.
Perforations for even greater convenience
A variety of special parti al perforations enables con-
sumers to open our carton packs without the use of
additional aids such as scissors or knives. The products
can be poured out easily. Specifically for chunky food
products, SIG Combibloc’s packaging portfolio also
includes carton packs with a complete perforation.
complete perforation allows the carton pack to be
opened all the way across the top, and the food ca
be emptied out completely.
For an easy twist: combiSwift and combiSma
Optional closures can also be applied to some food
packs. Examples of handy closure solutions on cart
packs are the modern screw caps combiSwift for m
size packages and combiSmart for small-size carton
Both can be opened and reclosed effortlessly with
twist. Thanks to the closure, food products can also
measured out in perfect portion sizes.
Maximum convenience combibloc and combisafe
Thanks to their light weight and the range
of opening solutions, SIG Combibloc carton
packs are 100 per cent user-friendly.

The filling machines from SIG Combibloc offer food manu-
facturers also great flexibility, enabling them to respond
to trends quickly and cost-effectively. With the volume,
design and product flexibility of filling machines from
SIG Combibloc, food manufacturers have every option
covered in this respect.
The food industry moves at a rapid pace. A packaging
system for food products thus has to offer a high level
of production efficiency and competitive manufacturing
costs. The modern food filling machines from SIG
Combibloc have an output of up to 12,000 carton packs
per hour and consistently low wastage rates. That adds
up to highly cost-effective production. The robust, well-
engineered design of the filling machines assures the
food manufacturer of a long, dependable operating life.
The same applies for the applicators used to apply the
closures, which are also part of SIG Combibloc’s scope
of delivery.

The filling flexibility of SIG Combibloc food filling machines
offers food manufacturers the basis for filling a huge
variety of foods: liqui d foods and even food products
with a pasty or chunky consistency can be filled and
packaged for long life, quickly, safely, and using a tech-
nique that is gentle on the product.
For more than 25 years, SIG Combibloc has been a leader
in the aseptic filling of food products. Using our food filling
machines, food products containing particulates up to 25
millimetres long can be aseptically filled in carton packs –
individual fibres can even be up to 40 millimetres. Products
can have up to 50 per cent particulate content.
In the aseptic process, the foods are rapidly heated to
ultra-high temperature using the UHT process, immedi-
ately cooled again, and only then filled into the aseptic
carton packs, which have also been sterilised. Our food
filling machines are equipped with two separate dosing
systems allowing food manufacturers to increase the scope
of their aseptic food portfolio. Ingredients can be filled
either in one single phase, which is the standard pro
or in two separate phases.
Two-phase filling means splitting the product into tw
components which are processed and filled separate
becomes necessary if the product is not viscous eno
to carry its particulate content evenly through the p
A typical product which requires two-phase filling is
viscous soup containing large pieces of vegetable. T
vegetable pieces are filled together with a viscous c
liquid in a first step. In a second step, additional wa
or broth is filled into the package, adjusting the des
viscosity level.
Once the product has been filled into the carton pa
the carton top is ultrasonically sealed above the fil
inside the SIG Combibloc filling machine. This mak
the filling of chunky products safe and easy: there
risk of product ingredients getting caught in the se
seam. That is a big plus for aseptic product safety.

After the products have been fill ed into the carton pack, the c arton top is sealed ultrasonical ly. The carton pa
are then automatically conveyed into an autoclave, which can be either static or rotary – depending on the prod
requirements and customer preferences. Package and product are sterilised together.
In the area of carton packs for long-life food, the use of a rotary autoclave is a world first. Not only do these auto
guarantee maximum product quality. Through the continuous movement of the carton packs while they are unde
ing the effects of heating, they also make it possible to fill and process certain products in the first place – partic
highly viscous foods containing extra-large particulates, such as the popular baked beans.
Only with the combisafe retortable carton system:
rotary autoclave for optimal product quality;
multi-head weigher for precise portioning and the
ultimate in cost-effective production
With the introduction of the heat-resistantcombisafe carton pack, the range of options available for the long-life
packaging of food products is further expanded. In addition to the aseptic filling process, this packaging system is also
suitable for particularly chunky foods such as vegetables and pulses, fruit, convenience foods and stews, and for all
food products that cannot pass through a pumping system and an aseptic process.
The tried and tested sleeve system is also used with the combisafe packaging system. Through the use of three
modular filling units, including a high-precision multi-head weigher, a hugely diverse range of products can be filled
in combisafe – the size and quantity of the chunky product ingredients can vary in virtually any respect and can be
measured out precisely. In the first stage, products that can be pumped are filled, the second deals with dry pieces.
In the third stage, the package is topped up with an infusion. That is a big plus for cost-effective production, because
individual product ingredients can be added to the recipe continuously and in precisely the right quantities, using the
3-stage filling technology. That really adds up in the product calculation too.

Food filling machines from SIG Combibloc offer flexibility
that can be controlled smoothly, quickly and safely. When
it comes to volume, for instance, there are many options
for carton packs with the same base dimensions: in just
a few steps, the filling machines can be adjusted for a
specific volume. There is no need to re-clean or sterilise
the machinery.
The rapid volume change brings with i t numerous possi-
bilities for positioning products in just the right way
to suit specific target audiences. Up to seven different
volumes can be filled using a single machine.
An example: two target groups, two volumes. A sou
sells well in the 1-litre family carton pack is supplem
with a smaller volume size that is especially suited
one-person households. Promotional carton packs
which, for a specified period of time, more content
be offered than in the standard packs can also be i
mented without any diffi culty. With the flexibility th
filling machines offer, food manufacturers can sele
perfect volume for each product in no time at all.

Change the design without inter-
rupting the production process,
and with no wastage With food filling machines from SIG Combibloc, a change of carton design can be implemented entirely without inter-rupting the production process, and with no wastage at all. All you need to do is switch the carton sleeves in the filling
machine magazine. This flexibility makes it possible to fill the same product in carton packs with a range of different
designs, for instance, for different brands or for a range of language regions. This means maximum accuracy of fit for
the markets and distribution channels you will be dealing with in each case.
