The relevance of flow pack solutions is also increasing in Germany, particularly for products such as salads, baked goods, muesli, snacks and sausages. Fish and meat, for example, are packaged in resealable and material-efficient solutions. However, the demand for recyclable alternatives is also growing here and Südpack is offering various solutions at Anuga FoodTec. 

The company has a portfolio of high-performance structures that are customised to the requirements of the product to be packaged and the packaging technology used. One example is the Pure Line product family, which, in addition to recyclable monomaterials based on PP now also includes solutions made of PE.

Depending on the products to be packaged, the high-performance films for product protection can be equipped with different barrier properties. Despite their low material thickness, Flow Packs based on Pure Line films offer a comparable level of protection. High stability like conventional packaging systems.

"We expect demand in this segment to be even stronger than before in the coming months. This is because the trend towards sustainable packaging concepts that inspire consumers with their convenience and bring additional benefits for food processing companies in terms of flexibility, cost-effectiveness and logistics will continue."

Pure Line films are tested on horizontal and vertical flow-pack systems from packaging machine manufacturers and are designed for efficient processing with high output and maximum material yield. They are characterised by a wide sealing window, which results in a high level of process and pack reliability. At the same time, the structure of the sealing layer ensures a simple and efficient sealing process. Inline assembly of common zipper systems safe.

The pioneering SPQ printing technology is an option for sustainability in printed flow packs. The printing process, which has already been honoured with the German Packaging Award in Gold Reduces the use of paint and solvents to a minimum and is characterised by a low CO2-footprint. 

On the Anuga FoodTec Südpack will be presenting materials on flow-pack machines from various manufacturers. Trade visitors can experience the concept both on packaging lines for fresh minced meat as well as on systems designed for packaging dry products. are designed.
