Pressure towards more sustainable packaging is growing stronger: compostable films, bioplastics, thermoformable paper and recycled materials are becoming an integral part of food production. However, these materials require different settings compared with traditional films.
Why the machine makes the difference
Sustainability is not just a matter of materials: it is a matter of technology.
Materials that are more sensitive to heat or tension must be handled by machines with:
- precise temperature control
- fine pressure adjustment
- gentle film-feed systems
- settings that can be saved per batch/product
Whereas an outdated tray sealer or flow-pack machine risks imperfect seals, material waste, loss of speed and more rejects. Having machines compatible with the new films means improving efficiency and ensuring stable production.
