From yogurt to baby food, the range of liquid and viscous food products is growing steadily. Dairies and food manufacturers are continuously defending and expanding their market share with fresh ideas. This also poses new challenges for packaging solutions. Consumers expect cups and containers that are produced as sustainably as possible, without compromising product protection or shelf life. At the same time, food manufacturers want a packaging process that is as fast, safe, precise and hygienic as possible. Expert technical support can be indispensable to make the right choices. A variety of questions can arise in the context of new packaging designs. Is the packaging optimally suited to the product, or are there better alternatives? Do the packaging's barrier properties offer sufficient product protection and shelf life? What degree of sterilisation does the packaging machine need to deliver, and which sterilisation methods are best suited to the task? And lastly, if consumers want to buy the product.
