IMA Group’s new tamper-evident butter packaging solution, the FoldWrap 1800, will be on show at FachPack 2021.
The completely new packaging style is made achievable by IMA Benhill’s FW1800 moulding, wrapping and sealing machine for pasty products. The machine is able to cold-seal the packages, a feature that aims to ensure improved hygiene and conserves fragrance, taste, and colour in the packed product. The company also says that the new solution can prolong the shelf life of the product it contains.
Benhil has also developed a solution that allows the pack to be easily opened. Thanks to the package’s lateral flaps, the consumer can open it by pulling only the flaps without touching the contents.
