once picked, berries and other soft fruit can deteriorate very quickly unless they are handled with extreme care.

mondelz&nbsppartnered with&nbspbattelle&nbspto develop a new packaging reclosure as an economical replacement to zippers and other reseal technologies. called low tack adhesive lta. the product only sticks to itself when simply pressed together, but with high enough bond strength to provide a secure yet easyopen reclose feature. lta sticks to itself and nothing else, packages might be less messy without the product inside clogging or interfering with the reclosure feature.

the new lumilid biobased, dualovenable lidding films are manufactured with&nbsptoray&lsquos proprietary sustainable resin blends, which are made with more than 50 renewable feedstocks. all lumilid films, these are solventfree and may alleviate endusers&rsquo concerns about solvent retention, as well as enhance the films&rsquo sustainability profile. lumilid films are designed for frozen, wet and dry food, and dairy applications.&nbsp &nbsp

edgepull induction seals from&nbsptriseal&nbsprequire low peel force to remove. the seals also peel cleanly, which means no adhesive residuestrings to contaminate the contents after opening. the liners are typically used with closures ranging from 28 to 63 mm and are ideal for a wide range of narrow and wide mouthed containers that benefit from a tamperevident device.

mitsubishi plastics, inc. developed a new transparent high barrier siox coated film for retortfood packaging named &ldquotechbarriertm&nbspls&rdquo. the oxygen transmission rate is 0.1 ccm2&bulld&bullatm measurement condition 25&degc, 80 rh, the water vapor transmission rate is 0.1 gm2&bulld measurement condition 40&degc, 90 rh. the higher barrier of &ldquotechbarriertm&nbspls&rdquo will benefit a longer shelf, the transparency will deliver readily visible, microwavable retort packaging. superior oxygen and water vapor barrier properties.

tiva&reg 2 is a nonrefillable closure that has a clever tamper evidence ring built into the top part of the body. the ring breaks off if forced removal from the bottle is attempted leaving permanent evidence immediately visible by end use consumers.&nbsp this product also has impressive sealing capability due to patented ucp flange design. the flange carries the tiva&reg 2 valve in the shell and creates the seal on the glass after application, hence a seamless changeover between tiva&reg 2 and a standard aluminium closure.

procap, introduces 63 procurve, a standard yet versatile closure for agro chemicals. 63 procurve has been designed specifically for hdpe and coex containers with a capacity of more than one litre and a 63mm neck finish.&nbsp the novel closure is ideal for the packaging of herbicides, insecticides, pesticides and fungicides, whether in powder or liquid form and whether water or solventbased.&nbsp 63 procurve represents a leakproof, secure total packaging solution that enables agro chemical manufacturers to significantly increase the safety of their product.

the model 1830s is shown with a large and intricate tooling nest with several support islands out in the midst of the tray where the packaging engineer would tack the tyvek down in critical areas to keep the product in place.packaging is often one of the last considerations in the development of a new medical device.
