MULTIVAC's Plastic-Free Packaging for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
MULTIVAC introduced full wrap labelling that offers a sustainable solution for plastic-free packaging concepts. It requires just one wraparound label to securely seal the packs and also provides product presentation at the same time. Single-origin recyclable packs made of paperboard or cardboard are gradually replacing the typical plastic trays, which usually have an additional pillow pack or are wrapped in stretch film or netting.
Packaging concepts with board trays, which meet the current requirements in terms of recyclability, are generally however cost-intensive and less efficient. This is because a cardboard sleeve usually has to be applied manually to the pack, or alternatively only low cycle rates can be achieved, if the application of the banderole is automated in an intermittent packaging process. If complex folding cartons are used, these often have to be closed manually and frequently provided with an additional label.
