Effective immediately, S\u00dcDPACK\u2019s high-performance tubular pouch films from the premium Pure-Line range are being consolidated into a dedicated product family and marketed under the CarbonLite\u00ae brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Based on PP and PE mono-materials, these films can be processed on both horizontal and vertical flow pack machines into flowpacks, doypacks (with or without spouts), and block-bottom pouches. Most importantly, their recyclability and optimized material efficiency result in a significantly smaller carbon footprint compared to conventional multi-material laminates or heavier tray packaging\u2014offering clear economic advantages, including lower disposal costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
S\u00dcDPACK\u2019s next-generation top webs are ideal for MAP applications and have been engineered for greater sustainability. For example, a CarbonLite PurePP flowpack uses up to 60% less material than a conventional tray, while the packaging concept also achieves recyclability rates of up to 92%\u2014verifiable by external institutes. For horizontal PE-based flow pack applications, S\u00dcDPACK has achieved a further reduction in film thickness while maintaining barrier properties and cutting material usage by an additional 10%.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition, by adopting S\u00dcDPACK\u2019s sustainable packaging concepts, manufacturers and packagers can typically achieve a shorter time-to-market\u2014supported by S\u00dcDPACK\u2019s co-extrusion expertise, comprehensive service, and in-house application center.<\/p>\n
The films in the CarbonLite\u00ae series are suitable, for example, for use as lightweight PE flowpacks for cuts of cheese, baguettes, mozzarella, and coffee; as PP flowpacks for ground meat and convenience products; and as stand-up PE doypacks for grated cheese and salami sticks, as well as PP doypacks for confectionery, dried fruit, nuts, and other snacks. For coffee applications, the films can also be processed into stable PP or PE block-bottom pouches, and into convenient PP spouted pouches for fruit pur\u00e9es.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite their wide range of applications, all films share one essential feature: barrier properties precisely tailored to each product\u2014such as protection against oxygen and water vapor \u2013 that ensure a long shelf life for a wide variety of foods. For enhanced product visibility, a high-performance anti-fog feature can be added if required.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the films can be processed efficiently on standard packaging machines, even at high cycle rates. A key factor in ensuring both product and packaging reliability is the films\u2019 consistently strong sealing performance, a result of their high thermal resistance\u2014even when incorporating zippers, spouts, or valves made from the same mono-material.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
