Innovations in sealed packaging

Sealpac highlighted a number of new innovations, including the roll-out of their Flatskin packaging on new machines. Marcel Veenstra at Sealpac says: “Flatskin is a skin packaging system that is very common. Skin packaging was initially based on a plastic base, tray or thermoformed pack. Responding to the demand for more sustainable materials, we have launched this system based on a cardboard carrier. As a whole, when compared to a typical skintray you would save 75 percent in plastics. Taking into account that retailers such as Iceland in the UK want to reduce the amount of plastics in their stores, this is one of the ways to achieve that. Beyond packaging meat, we have samples of fish, cheese or even soft cheese or poultry.”
