adapa will be showcasing its portfolio of flexible packaging solutions at the CFIA Expo in France from 12 to 14 March. The company places particular emphasis on design for recycling concepts for its high-quality films.
The range of „Design for Recycling“ tubular bag films from adapa, MonoFlow(re) E-Type and P-Type films are designed to maximise efficiency as well as recyclability. Thanks to the Group's experience in various market segments and the in-house development of high-performance films, e.g. low-S.I.T. CPP films or innovative MDO PE films, the Flowpacks from adapa also customised for demanding products such as coffee. The various MonoFlow(re) materials run excellently and, depending on the machine, with up to 120 cycles on a large number of common packaging lines. Thanks to different barrier options and printing processes they can be customised to meet individual customer requirements.
The new paper-based twistwrap is the modern version of confectionery packaging. Suitable for single or double twist and folding applications, it can be reliably processed on a wide range of twist packaging machines - from tried and tested Standard systems through to the latest high-performance systems. With this product, the company demonstrates how high performance in twist wrapping of confectionery with packaging speeds of up to 2,300 pieces/minute can be combined with design for recycling: The PaperTwister(re) range with a paper content of 90 per cent and a plant-based coating has been certified by independent institutes as repulpable in accordance with the new CEPI (4EverGreen) and OPRL (CPI) standards.
Under the designation VACUshrink(re) MEX 55, adapa presents a new CEFLEX-compliant Fully recyclable shrink bags with a film thickness of just 55 μm. It is equipped with an EVOH high barrier and is suitable for packaging fresh, processed meat or non-gassing/matured cheese. The shrink bag can be shrunk onto shrinking machines and demonstrates a high puncture resistance.. The material with a PE sealing layer does not require the usual PA layers or PVCD barriers and is not „cross-linked“. This convinced the jury of the renowned WorldStar Packaging Award 2023, which honoured VACUshrink(re) MEX 55 in the „Packaging materials and components“ category.
Modern digital printing enables the High-quality printing on a wide range of materials - from flexible films to paper - with various finishing options. Products can be provided with security labelling using special printing inks or codes. Digital printing is also cost-effective and offers maximum flexibility, as the technology does not require clichés or cylinders. This shortens delivery times, makes digital printing the ideal solution for short-notice requirements and ensures that products are always available at short notice. Economical production of very short runs, e.g. of promotional or seasonal items. The size of the print run can be adjusted according to demand, thus reducing stock levels and avoiding overproduction - in this way adapa also helps its customers to minimise their CO2-footprint by avoiding the overproduction of packaging.
