Packaging innovation rules!
25 March 2009Starpack Gold Sponsor Alcan Packaging Food Europe recognises that many purchasing decisions are based on packaging.
With innovation at its heart, Alcan has again opted to support the annual Starpack Awards as Gold Sponsor, welcoming innovations from across the supply chain.
With its own interests lying mainly within food products packaging, Alcan has developed many packaging solutions across numerous brand categories. Here are just some of the packaging solutions developed in 2008.
Alcan, in conjunction with Alupak, developed a fish packaging system called PeeliCan. The ultrasonic technology used provides a perfect seal, facilitating a long shelf-life and easy-peel opening.
The TPod and TStix provide consumers with a new way to make a cup of tea or coffee. The perforated stickpack with its integral mechanical filter system allows the flavour of the tea or coffee to flow into the water while the tea or coffee stays in the stickpack, reducing mess and increasing efficiency. The stickpack is also used as a dripless device.
KeoPOUR was created as an easy-open, recloseable solution suitable for liquid products requiring gas flushing, pasteurisation or hot fill. The spout is recloseable with a label. The KeoPOUR can be produced on a new Ilapak VFFS machine.
Alcan focuses on speciality packaging for food, pharmaceutical, beauty and tobacco, using plastics, engineered film, aluminium, paper, paperboard and glass for customers around the world.
