Syntegon Technology, a leader in the global process and packaging technology industry has developed a groundbreaking packaging solution—the form, fill and seal machine for paper-based packaging material that paves the way for new, sustainable packaging solutions to meet the trends toward replacing petrochemical plastics and individualization.
“The TPU offers brand owners with high demands on sustainability and aesthetics completely new packaging options for food, cosmetics and non-food products,” says Matthias Klauser, sustainability expert at Syntegon Technology.
The module-based TPU1000 forms environmentally friendly “Shaped Paper Pods” with a filling volume of ten to 100 milliliters, which are suitable for single-portion packs and small-format products that are normally packaged in blisters.
The material fed from the paper roll is formed into the desired shape at a speed of up to 15,000 packages per hour.
This enables high quality packaging designs and embossing for a variety of products and filling techniques.
“In combination with BillerudKorsnäs’ 3D formable FibreForm® paper, the TPU1000 produces unique packaging with a special feel that meets both brand manufacturers’ needs for an individual look and feel and their sustainability efforts,” says Klauser.
This results in unique 3D effects that differ from existing packaging solutions on the market. Various types of barrier layers can be applied to ensure the necessary protection of the respective product.
“This highly stretchable paper allows wrinkle-free processing from a roll and a detailed reproduction of small embossing elements.”
