Its all about convenience.

The market requires more and more convenient products due to the changing lifestyle. An increasing amount of people have their meals at their workplace in a hurry instead of enjoying them in a quiet and calm atmosphere at home. In addition, the amount of single households and the share of elderly people are growing and therefore new food packaging solutions are a must.

Convenience but also environmental aspects such as biodegradability and avoidance of excess packaging play an important role. Key challenges include intelligent protection during shipping and storage, management of ripening, and ease of preparation and handling. To address these issues, we offer a range of intelligent packaging solutions such as

Reclosable bags Zip&Valve stand-up pouch SwiftUp easy opening Laser perforation

Laser perforationWe have worked closely with laser machinery suppliers to create a reliable and safe laser solution. Tiny perforations, invisible to the naked eye, enhance the properties of stand-up pouches, plastic bags, and lidded trays for convenience food, fruit and vegetables. This can improve shelf life, make packaging easier to open, and can better ease the handling of food. We have all the necessary know-how and specialised equipment for such applications.

Microwaveable NeoSteam solutions fast & flexibleOur NeoSteam packaging range features an adaptable steam valve which allows to steam chilled and frozen ready meals, vegetables, pasta, rice, fish, etc., directly in the micro-wave. The traditional puncturing or opening of the packed ready meal is no longer necessary, which shortens preparation time and ensures that the product remains moist. Thanks to our special valve technology, the product is cooked under pressure, which preserves flavour, precious minerals and vitamins.

The flexible micro-perforated steam valve can be customised with regard to position, shape, and size to ensure the best cooking result. In addition, the NeoSteam material is very versatile and can be converted into pouches or bags (FFS bags) or used as lidding film for trays.

Advantages Flexible micro-perforated steam valve Plug and Play system, no additional

investments necessary Adaptable opening and cooking pressure
