Stand-up pouches for stand-out frozen veg

摘要

As the IQF vegetable market moves towards I stand-up pouches, ILAPAK is at the ready with a new generation of versatile bag makers that can switch seamlessly between films and formats, whether LDPE pillow packs or laminated PET/PE pouches. "There is a growing trend towards the use of stand-up pouches for packing frozen vegetables, as this format optimises freezer space and enhances the visual appeal of products. However, most companies still need the facility to produce conventional pillow packs, and to switch between formats - particularly if they are packing for several different customers on one line. This is where our VT Vegatronic bag makers come into their own: they can run off the full range of vertical bag styles, including pillow, block-bottom, Quattro and pouch packs, with fast and tool-less changeover," says Andrea Boccolini, VFFS Division Product Manager at ILAPAK. Besides being able to run the gamut of bag styles, VT bag makers can cope with a variety of films, including LDPE - the nemesis of many VFFS designers.
