Compared to the investments in optics, often relatively little attention is paid to the opening functionality of the hermetically sealed pack, says packaging company, SEALPAC.
Only too often, consumers have to use scissors or a knife to get to the contents of the pack. By introducing an exceptionally consumer-friendly opening aid during ESE 2011 in Brussels, SEALPAC says it now makes the use of additional tools redundant. With its revolutionary EasyPeelPoint system, any seafood tray or thermoformer pack can be opened without effort.
Benefits of the EasyPeelPoint system:
- Peel corner is integrated within the sealing contours of the pack
- The corner of the top film is pressed into a round cavity and releases from the sealing edge
- With the resulting easy-to-grip peel tab, the top film is removed from the pack with minimum force
- As counterforce can be dosed accurately, the peel function is activated to perfection
- Self-explanatory opening method with natural feel
- Also feasible with reclosable films
EasyPeelPoint can be used on all standard pack formats. Hence, the system does not require costly changes in the logistical chain and respects the existing cutting line of the packaging machine. To guarantee an efficient production process, trays are equipped with two opening points that are positioned diagonally opposite each other. This makes it irrelevant in which way the trays are placed on the in-feed conveyor, thus preventing costly errors due to rotation of the trays. In thermoformer applications, the special peel corner within the contours of the pack is less subjected to unwanted cold sealing. The self-explanatory opening method can be applied on all SEALPAC traysealers and thermoformers.
