Bahlsen has given its \u201ePiCK UP!\u201c biscuit bar a packaging update and added two bar packers from packaging machine manufacturer Schubert to its existing machine park. A major advantage of this is that the previous secondary packaging made of labels on the top and bottom could be replaced by folding cartons made of cardboard.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whether for a sudden hunger pang, a short break or the Sunday coffee table - with a large selection of waffles, biscuits and cakes, the Hanover-based biscuit manufacturer Bahlsen<\/a> has stood for high-quality products for over 130 years. To ensure that the sweet treats reach the consumer undamaged, the company has been working with the Crailsheim-based machine manufacturer for several years<\/strong>.<\/p>

For the long-established company, savouring and doing good for the environment are not mutually exclusive. In addition to its own commitment to quality and continuous innovation, the biscuit manufacturer has therefore also made the Sustainability at the centre of its activities<\/strong>. The company works with carefully selected partners around the world who act responsibly in the cultivation of raw materials such as cocoa or sugar.<\/p>

In addition to the ingredients, however, the Product packaging plays a decisive role in sustainable behaviour<\/strong>. For \u201ePiCK UP!\u201c, the popular chocolate biscuit, Bahlsen therefore wanted to new packaging machines to switch production to more environmentally friendly packaging.<\/strong> can be converted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Previously, the \u201ePiCK UP!\u201c bars were packed in tubular bags, grouped together and labelled. In order to produce more sustainably, the aim was to Replace secondary packaging with cardboard folding boxes in future<\/strong>. Bahlsen was therefore looking for a new automation solution that would protect the delicate biscuit bars in particular from damage and breakage during the packaging process. The confectionery company also opted for thinner films for the tubular bags in order to save material by reducing the film.<\/strong> to reach.<\/p>
