Essentra Packaging Hall 7 Stand: C20 Latest technology and an interpack exclusive from Essentra Packaging Award-winning Essentra Packaging will be at interpack 2014, with an impressive series of developments which can integrate the multifunctionality of easy opening, reclosing, informing and protecting into packs across the consumer and healthcare sectors. Visitors to stand C20 in Hall 07 at Messe Düsseldorf will be able to see how Essentra has built its global reputation on a leading-edge portfolio of labels, tapes, cartons, leaflets and security technology. Its products combine acclaimed design and technology, and are trusted by manufacturers and brand owners in end markets such as food and drink, pharmaceutical and healthcare, household and industrial, and paper and board. And in an Interpack exclusive, on show for the first time will be AquaSense, the brand new label innovation from Essentra Packaging. AquaSense has been designed to help maintain and control the moisture content within packs ensuring the goods do not dry out and are kept fresh – giving consumers more control than ever over the products they buy. Part of Essentra Packaging’s Protect range, AquaSense is the first example of Essentra’s Active Label Technology and has been developed and jointly patented in conjunction with Essentra Porous Technologies. Its unique absorbent AquaSense pad is activated by the consumer on opening the pack or tub. The pad is placed under a tap and soaks up a specific amount of water which it then releases it within the pack, keeping contents fresh, controlling humidity and reducing product waste due to goods drying out. Focusing on healthcare solutions Essentra’s cartons, including the Parenteral Paper Pack (PPP) which delivers a new concept in display boxes designed specifically for fragile items such as vials, bottles and syringes, will be shown. Also among its innovative leaflet formats on display are PiggyBack and Triple PiggyBack, two or three folded leaflets glued together back to back in a compact design and Plurium, a multi-page booklet with more space for information but compact when folded. The new Re:Close Tape from Essentra Packaging enables brands to maximise the combined benefits of resealability, consumer communication and product protection in an easy-to-apply tape. Developed in response to growing consumer demand, and durable enough to withstand repeated use, with Re:Close Tape consumers can keep the product in the original pack between uses. This adds to convenience, retains branding in the home to encourage repeat purchase, and can even enhance environmental credentials by minimising food waste caused by spillage or leaving a pack open. A variety of overt and covert tamper and authentication solutions can be built into healthcare and consumer product packs to meet individual needs, such as holography, patron security inks and taggant systems, integrated on-pack authentication, tamperevident labels; and combined tamper and authentication solutions. Martin Dallas, Managing Director – Essentra Speciality Technologies, says: “We are proud to be at Interpack with a range of products that are at the forefront of current thinking, bringing different strands of pack functionality together and helping brands give consumers a more active relationship with their packaging. “We also want to take the opportunity to talk to our fellow innovators about how they can adopt these technologies and take them forward. AquaSense is a key example of this and we look forward to hearing how this Active Label technology can be developed even further.” Essentra Packaging’s presence at interpack follows an awardwinning year for the company, which was honoured to receive a UK Packaging Award in the Design Team of the Year category; a second consecutive Asian Manufacturing Award, and a Sustainable Package Technical Award from the 4th China Package Technology Forum. Faerch Plast Hall 10 Stand: D45 Faerch Plast to show range of plastics containers for fresh meat, fish and poultry, ready meals and cold food snacks Faerch Plast will be focusing on its wide range of innovative plastics packaging products for the meat, fish & poultry sector at interpack 2014. These include trays manufactured from MAPET ® II, a specially developed mono material for top sealing of fresh meat, and the UltraZap ® XtendaPak absorber pad which limits bacteria growth and helps extend shelf life by up to two days. Plus a variety of eyecatching CPET, PP and APET containers for ready meals and cold foods & snacks will be featured. The company will also be highlighting its unrivalled reputation for innovation and closed loop – Cradle to Cradle – manufacturing process using post-consumer PET, or rPET. MAPET ® II or MONO amorphous polyethylene terephthalate has been designed by Faerch Plast to facilitate easy top sealing of fresh meat or fish and to eliminate the risk of contamination from juices. MAPET ® II provides the same properties as multi-layer materials but offers better sealability and protection, as well as being easier to sort for recycling. Produced from post-consumer recycled materials, MAPET ® II has a very low environmental footprint and is suitable for prepacking in a protected atmosphere. It has a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and offers glass clarity for added on shelf appeal. Faerch Plast’s Ultrazap ® XtendaPak is a new type of absorber for use in its fresh meat and fish trays. Placed underneath the packaged product, it limits bacteria growth while enabling the meat to better retain it juices. Laboratory tests combined with customer feedback has clearly demonstrated this helps extend shelf life by up to two days. Plus the meat or fish stays looking fresh in appearance right up to the expiry date. The Ultrazap ® XtendaPak is activated when the meat or fish begins releasing juices on the third day. The absorber then slowly emits CO 2 over several days, keeping the bacteria level low and improving the meat’s ability to retain its juices. Faerch Plast’s CPET (Crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate) containers are aimed at the ready meal sector and are available in a wide range of colours, styles and sizes, including a high strength ‘Frost’ pack for unrivalled impact and crush resistance at low temperatures, making them ideal for frozen food products. Recently launched ‘Dual Colour’ CPET trays are primarily aimed at the premium convenience food market and oven to table lines in particular. They feature one colour on the outside surface and another on the inside, offering retails and manufacturers a major point of difference, as well as maximum on-shelf impact and brand appeal. With dual ovenability and a broad temperature tolerance from -4F (-20c) degrees to 430F (220c) degrees, CPET is suitable for freezer-to-oven or microwave convenience, and eliminates negative effects on food flavour and aroma, giving consumers better protected, more versatile and better tasting meals. A top layer of co-extruded APET ensures extremely good sealing properties and a superb glossy appearance. Faerch Plast’s innovative packaging for cold foods and snacks is typically produced from high clarity APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene) and is available in a plethora of designs, such as standard or hinged lids and perforated, snap packs which can be easily separated into individual portions for extra convenience. The ‘Re-lock’ tray incorporates a recloseable feature comprising an integral peelable film rather than a separate or hinged lid, saving on the amount of material used, leading to cost savings as well as more environmentally-friendly packaging. Available in three designs, the range is ideal for fruit, salad, dips and cold meats, where consumers like to see the contents in order to assess its freshness. Faerch Plast will also be highlighting its closed loop or Cradle to Cradle process for the manufacture of food trays from postconsumer recycled PET, or rPET. Food grade rPET flakes are purchased from two of the UK’s top plastics recycling companies and further cleaning, as well as careful control of the extrusion and thermoforming process at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the North East of England helps ensure maximum recycled content. For a completely closed loop, the business has been heavily involved in a project aimed at making black trays more recyclable. CPET ID is a revolutionary new packaging material which will allow trays produced from black CPET to be sorted in the mixed plastics waste stream, for the first time ever., 20 Innovations in Food Processing & Packaging | May 2014 | www.innovationsfood.com
