Resealable Packaging Inspires Innovation In Packaging Machine Design
The way food is packaged and marketed is continually changing, due in part to consumer trends, the need for packaging sustainability and desire to reduce food waste.
One of the changes in packaging design is resealable, flexible pouches, stick packs, plus the ability to use intelligent labels and security materials in certain applications.
Recently, resealable has taken a leap forward in the way it can be used. New heat-sealable resealable systems with FDA approval for direct food contact and re-heat ability have been introduced. These systems deliver both visual appeal and features such as enhanced functionality and convenience, plus the benefits of packaging economy and sustainability.
The new film materials directly address current consumer desire for site convenience, fresh food, and sustainability — and waste reduction needs.
Today’s consumers are looking for easy-to-use products. Food meal kits have become ubiquitous in both the supermarket and convenience stores. But not all of that product is necessarily used in one sitting, and consumers welcome packaging that makes it fast and simple to reseal the contents and keep it fresh until the next time.
ORICS Industries is reacting to demand for resealable packaging by designing and manufacturing machines and systems that simplify the packaging of products utilizing resealable roll stock film options. Specifically, machines like the S-30, R-50, SLTS, and CMTS are well suited to these functions.
