SÜDPACK: Sustainable packaging solutions for the food industry
From March 4–6, more than 2,000 companies will showcase their latest products and services for the food industry across 50,000 square meters of exhibition space at the Parc Expo in Brittany’s capital. SÜDPACK will kick off this year’s trade show season with a wide selection of innovative new products, all with a clear focus on sustainability. "Our range of sustainable high-performance films and packaging concepts is extensive, covering virtually all applications within the food industry", emphasizes SÜDPACK. All solutions share the same stand-out features, combining optimal product protection with exceptional material-efficiency and resource conservation. Most importantly, they are recyclable. In short: SÜDPACK products enable producers and packers alike to reduce the weight of each package and, ultimately, its environmental footprint.
Packaging solutions for fresh meat, cold cuts, and fish
SÜDPACK offers an extensive range of thermoformable bottom webs, including both rigid and flexible films, which pair perfectly with the manufacturer’s peelable and multi-peelable top webs.
For sustainable packaging of sliced sausage, ham, or cheese in thermoforming packaging, SÜDPACK provides mono-material solutions based on PP and PE, with certified recyclability of over 90%. These perfectly matched top and bottom webs deliver excellent mechanical and functional properties, such as peelability and sufficient stability for presentation on refrigerated shelves.
A highlight in terms of material reduction and recyclability is the next generation of PP- and PE-based flow packs. One striking example is the “ground meat in a pouch” solution, designed for packaging fresh ground meat. Compared to traditional solutions, this recyclable packaging concept achieves up to 60% material savings and significantly shrinks the product’s carbon footprint. Despite the reduced material input, SÜDPACK customers can still rely on the necessary barrier properties and maximum product protection.
With Multifol®, SÜDPACK offers the perfect combination of minimal material usage and maximum product protection. Compared to conventional PA/PE structures, this high-performance film boasts around 30% less weight. Its excellent sealing performance ensures high package quality with a very low degree of leakage, even if the sealing surfaces are contaminated. Depending on specific requirements, this thermoforming application can be equipped with various barrier properties. Its outstanding puncture resistance makes it an ideal choice for efficient vacuum packaging of meat, fish, and products with bony parts, as well as for deep-freeze applications.
Specifically designed for modified atmosphere tray packaging, including foam trays, the Veraplex Drum® top web is an ideal solution. This ultra-thin, material-efficient barrier film stands out with its high puncture and tear resistance, glossy surface, and exceptional sealing properties – even on contaminated surfaces. This makes it the perfect choice for packaging meat, poultry, and fish.
Last but not least, visitors to the SÜDPACK booth can explore the advantages of modern package printing and receive expert guidance. This technology sets new standards in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and quality – significantly reducing the carbon footprint of both flexo and gravure printing processes.
