According to the motto “you eat where you are”, our flexible, modern, on-the-go lifestyle is no longer imaginable without modern snack and take-out concepts. The extended shelf life of foods plays an important role. Appetizing packaging that signals freshness is key. We provide the technology for this.
Our daily lives are increasingly hectic. At work we run from one meeting to the next; we can’t forget the doctor’s appointment or to pick up the kids from school and later take them to soccer practice. Often, there’s only enough time for a fast snack or convenience food that we quickly heat up in the microwave.
When time is tight, consumers increasingly appreciate the advantages of pre-packaged food. In addition to product quality, consumers also prefer packaging that maintains the freshness and flavor of foods for a long time and that are simultaneously hygienic, practical and attractive. Reclosable packages, for example, increase the suitability of goods for storage and facilitate individual portioning.
In addition to functional packaging, an appetizing appearance is one of the most important purchase criteria for packaged food – in the end, it’s the first impression that counts! Thin but durable films, for example, present food from its mouth-watering side and give consumers the feeling they’re getting freshly packed goods. Vacuum technology also ensures that the aroma, taste and fresh appearance of food is maintained for a longer period of time.
The packaging industry provides a wide range of packaging machines and techniques as well as materials for packaging meat products or convenience meals in bowls, shrink, vacuum, or MAP packages. Flexibility, high cycle speeds and absolute reliability are important features of the systems. Compatibility with other machines also ensures efficient packaging processes. And combining multiple operations into a single machine saves the user time and costs.
