In many European countries, resealable flow packs have been a preferred packaging concept for sliced meat, sausage and cheese products for many years. In Germany as well, the relevance of flow packs is steadily growing in many fields of application. This includes the packaging of salad, baked goods, cereal, snacks, sausages, frozen fish and shellfish – and most recently, even ground meat. Consumers respond positively to the material-efficient and lightweight bags, which is why many manufacturers and packers are considering this packaging concept more and more as an alternative.
