DPET Optimized Form-Fill Seal for Meat Product Packaging

Innovative raw material from OCTAL brings productivity, energy efficiency and appearance advantages.

5/4/2011 --- Form-fill-seal (FFS) modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is among the most significant and fastest growing of all packaging types used in the meat processing industry. OCTAL’s new laminated structure brings all the advantages that thermoformers have been enjoying in traditional food packaging to the FFS MAP segment. Meat and cheese producer has now brought a massive efficiency boost to the segment with its innovative raw material DPET.

Big production advantages
DPET is tougher and resists cracking and crack propogation. DPET also scores top points for reliable high definition forming and excellent resin distribution, especially for deep draw applications. Average caliper variation is a mere 1%, enabling maximum down gauging. Other production advantages include faster thermoformoing cycle times, faster startups, less waste and precise unwinding.

What’s more, the proprietary DPET production process ensures that no contamination can infiltrate the polymer, ensuring purity in every package.
