Editorial

Our newsletter sponsor for this week is SKC, Inc. They have grown to become a global supplier of polyester films.
 
Smart packaging in the food and beverage sector is regularly being developed to bring about a new level of convenience, and to maintain a freshness system for the product.

 

BelGioioso Cheese, Denmark, WI, makers of the all-natural Italian cheese, has now made all of its sliced cheese varieties available in a new easy-open package from Curwood.

 

Producers of cheese have been turning to the use of oxygen absorbers to extend the shelf life and freshness of their products. Le Père Bafien is one such company which uses oxygen absorbers from Multisorb Technologies.

 

The removal of oxygen from cheese packaging protects the product from spoilage, mould growth and aerobic degradation.

 

Huhtamaki, with its Cyclero® flexible packaging concept, has developed a flexible can for Aldi Süd, a German super-market chain, to package its Amaroy brand coffee pods.
