Secure. Innovative. Sustainable. They take the special requirements of your products into account as regards product protection and shelf life, as well as sustainability criteria and current consumer trends. Vacuum packs Packing under vacuum extends the shelf life of products, since their biochemical decay can be slowed down by extraction of the atmosphere. Since fruit and...

Packs with atmosphere Natural atmosphere The technically simplest solution is sealing of the packs without modified atmosphere. Such packs protect the product from contact and mechanical influences, but do not have any properties that extend shelf life. Modified atmosphere (MAP) In packs with modified atmosphere, the air in the pack is replaced with a gas mixture, which is matched to the product to maintain its form, colour, and freshness. This modified atmosphere usually consists of a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Equilibrium atmosphere (EMAP) The packs are sealed with a...

EMAP with FreshSAFE 10 days after being harvested 6 days after being packed Your product can look very impressive · 6 days after being packed · 10 days after being harvested · Storage temperature 12 °

MULTIVAC FreshSAFE: Fresh for longer for certain! Fruit and vegetables continue to live after harvesting. Regulating the natural metabolic processes plays a central role, so that the product does not dry out or perish. MULTIVAC FreshSAFE is a further development of the EMAP process, and it optimises the oxygen content in the packs in the most natural way possible. Its objective is to maintain the most beneficial concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide for the particular product. This equilibrium atmosphere is achieved through the interaction between the respiration of the product and the...

Pack more sustainably out of responsibility for the future MULTIVAC has a wide range of solutions, which actively support you and your customers in operating sustainably: Packs based on paper fibre MULTIVAC PaperBoard reduces the consumption of plastic and increases recyclability. Compostable packs Bio-based and biologically degradable materials help to solve waste problems naturally. Recyclable plastics Mono materials can be fed directly to the particular recycling loop and then simply reused.

Paper-based packaging solutions With MULTIVAC PaperBoard we can support you in increasing the recyclability of your packs, as well as reducing the consumption of plastic in your packaging by up to 85 %. The use of functional layers makes it possible to produce packs based on paper fibre, which can meet all the requirements of the specific barrier properties needed for the particular product. Packaging solutions with MULTIVAC PaperBoard can be produced on thermoforming packaging machines and traysealers. Their paper and plastic components can be separated quickly and easily after use, so...

PaperBoard pack with film upper web The paper and plastic components of the pack can be separated quickly and easily after allowing it to be directed to separate recycling loops. Board tray with full wrap label By using wraparound labels, it is possible to securely seal cardboard and paper-based trays without the use of plastic, while also branding them with the same label. PaperBoard pack with mesh material The plastic component of the pack can be further reduced by using an upper web made of mesh material.

Compostable packaging solutions In order to be suitable for industrial composting, products and materials must meet the strict criteria of the European standard EN 13432 or the US standard ASTM D6400. The objective is the most efficient and rapid biological decay of the organic materials as possible. Industrial composting takes place in commercial composting facilities. Thanks to precisely controlled and ideal conditions, the equipment in these facilities provides a perfect equilibrium between microbes, moisture content and temperature. This means compostable packs can be included in the...

Recyclable plastics Packs consisting of only a single sort of material can be fed directly to the particular recycling loop after use. In addition to the established recycling processes for glass, metal and paper, it is increasingly the case that packs made of mono plastics such as APET are also being recycled in this way. Thanks to the MULTIVAC APET+ films, you can benefit from packaging solutions, where both the upper and lower webs consist of a mono material, which can be completely recycled. Since there is no requirement with APET+ for an additional sealing layer, which compromises the...
