Sustainable packaging concepts for sliced cheese
Thanks to the driving force of the EU's Plastics Strategy and new packaging legislation, the issue of sustainability is now gaining increasing importance in the packing of dairy products. At the same time the strict hygiene regulations must however continue to be observed, while also maintaining the maximum shelf life for the food products. Innovative packaging concepts can help to master the difficult balancing act between sustainability, product protection, and retaining quality.

Optimum slicing quality and weight accuracy when producing cheese slices
Today a large variety of sliced cheese is sold in chill cabinets in every supermarket. The different sorts, such as Appenzeller, Edam, Gouda, Leerdammer, or Tilsiter are either packed as shingled or wafer-thin slices, which are folded and presented attractively in the pack. While also maintaining the highest hygienic standards, producers today must operate with the maximum efficiency, flexibility, weight accuracy, and yield, if they are to remain competitive in the market. But how can these requirements be met? And what in particular must be taken into account when slicing cheese?

Sustainable packaging concept for fish specialities
For around 280 years Bond Seafood B.V, which is based in the Dutch city of Breda, has been inspiring the domestic and European market with its traditional fish specialities. The wide range of classic products is constantly being expanded with the addition of innovative specialities such as "Holland Sushi" and "Bruschetta" smoked mackerel fillets. However it is not only in its product range but also in terms of sustainability, that the family company shows itself as an innovator with a vision. It is for this reason that, in conjunction with MULTIVAC, the company developed a sustainable packaging concept. As one of the first fish processors in the country, Bond Seafood now uses recyclable mono materials for its packs.
