Pelliconi presents a new technology for sealing baby food jars: SoPure

08 Jun 2022
Komal Sharma

SoPure® is an original solution because it is a capsule free of plasticizers such as phthalates—used to make PVC flexible—and made with Provalin®, a compound produced by Actega.

Migrational properties of Provalin® for SoPure®
Provalin® is a blend of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) composed by more than 95% polymer and less than 5%  lubricants and stabilizers.

On the other hand, the PVC compound has a percentage of liquid plasticizers not linked to polyvinyl chloride; therefore, it is potentially able to migrate into food, which varies between 35 and 40%.

McDonald's new graphic packaging reflect brand's "playful point-of-view"

Pearlfisher worked with McDonald's to develop recognisable graphics that easily communicate what menu item the packaging contains.
For some products, like the Big Mac, Pearlfisher created an illustration that is a direct interpretation of the food, while other graphics were informed by the item's most significant ingredients.

The Cheeseburger wrapper now has a single, dripping yellow line across it to represent cheese, the Egg McMuffin a single yellow circle to indicate a yolk, while the Fillet-O-Fish is covered with turquoise waves.
