Pushing Forward into New Dimensions – Hygienic Packaging of Dairy Products Coupled with Brilliant Decoration

Friday 22. April 2011 - At this year's Interpack, Düsseldorf, May 12 - 18, ILLIG (www.illig.de) will present innovative and economical technology concepts for food packs manufactured by thermoforming in Hall 11, Stand C54.

The newly designed FSL 48 form, fill and seal line will be presented there for the first time. It is suitable to meet the requirements of the food and especially the dairy industry and can be equipped in such a way that it will comply with a variety of hygienic demands. In this way standards can be met up to hygiene class IV according to VDMA (hygienic filling machines) for filling and packaging. At the same time packs with brilliant decoration can be realized by employing an also newly developed IML (In-Mold Labeling) station which can be integrated in the production unit. There is a great variety of cup shape options since for IML decoration walls don’t have to be vertical. These options with respect to individual cup design in conjunction with attractive labeling enhance product presentation on the supermarket shelf. At Interpack, ILLIG will additionally show solutions for thermoforming of containers with pronounced undercuts. So far, these containers could only be realized by injection molding and blow molding. Moreover, the numerous possibilities provided by skin and blister packaging will be presented.
