Sustainable flowpack packaging solution for mushrooms
We have been producing, selling and installing stretch wrappers for the packaging of mushrooms for many years. This to the complete satisfaction of our customers.
Recently, however, we have seen movements towards the flowpacking of mushrooms and mushrooms. A supplier to a large supermarket chain in the United Kingdom has started production. Flowpacking has a positive influence on sustainability and offers many possibilities from a marketing point of view.
Circular due to the composition
Packaging fulfills an indispensable task in the food industry. Without packaging, most food products have a limited shelf life. Packaging protects their contents against harmful influences and guarantees a longer shelf life and food safety. These important functions have now fulfilled modern packaging materials with significantly less material input than just a few years and decades ago. In addition to material thickness, the composition of the packaging and the product to be packaged is also of great importance.
Sustainable packaging of mushrooms in flowpack packaging
Mushrooms and mushrooms still need oxygen in the packaging, unlike, for example, meat products or cheese. Mono-foils can now be used for both applications. These are fully recyclable. This depends on the type of foil that is chosen. With the right choice, durability is high and the impact on the environment is therefore minimal. When packing the mushrooms, it is important that the film has a good oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and also a good water transfer rate (WVTR) or permeability.
(Almost) Unlimited marketing possibilities
In addition to the benefits for the environment, packaging mushrooms in flow packs also has benefits for the marketing of the product. There are almost no limits to the possibilities for the use of printed foils and by using your own design on the scale, the product can be given a clear distinctive character. All this contributes to greater and more noticeable visibility, differentiating the product from the other products.
