CODING SOLUTIONS ON FLEXIBLE FILM FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
Consumers want their fruit and vegetables to be convenient, have a long shelf life, and be fresh, whether bagged, ready to serve, or on the go. The flexible film provides the best packaging solution for accomplishing this goal since it can prolong fresh food’s shelf life, slow its metabolism, and display products at their freshest.
Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO), a digital technology explicitly created for coding flexible film, is used to code these products.

INNOVATIVE THERMOFORMER-BASED SOLUTION WITH ZERO BASE SCRAP FOR LEAFSKIN™ PACKAGING
At ULMA Packaging we have taken a step further in our pursuit of sustainable packaging solutions by developing a new model of thermoforming machine to package fresh products in vacuum skin packs on a flat cardboard base.
The new TFS 216 uses cardboard rollstock to produce the flat, non-thermoformed base of the packaging, with the main benefit of not generating any cardboard waste.
The drag chains that are commonly used in most conventional thermoformers require part of the original width of the reel to be discarded.
The TFS 216 is equipped with an innovative bottom film traction system without chain, so the LeafSkinTM packaging produced by our customers retains all of the base material, regardless of its width.
This solution is part of our ULMAweCare range of solutions, which are ultimately aimed at offering our customers more sustainable packaging solutions with a smaller environmental impact.
BENEFITS OF THE SOLUTION
Packaging costs
Due to the lack of base cardboard scrap,save up to 11% compared to other conventional thermoformers with chain transport systems.
Save up to 48% in base material costs and ecotaxes compared to the precut trays used for tray sealing.
Sustainability
Up to 80% less plastic compared to traditional skin packaging.
Logistics
A smaller carbon footprint is associated with the transportation of packaging material.
A smaller carbon footprint is associated with waste management.

Benefits from a trouble-free packaging process with the fully automated XL Robot case erector
The Pattyn robot case erector CE-21-XL automatically forms new or re-used RSC boxes or telescopic boxes.
Available in the hot melt or tape execution. By using hot melt to close the bottom flaps, the carton erector enables continuous production, low running cost and stable case transport.
With a continuous operation and boxes made just in time, this machine is a solid addition to your packaging line.
The CE-21-XL runs up to 90 cases/hour (depending on the box sizes).
Digitalisation & High Performance fully automatic price labelling
The fully automatic price labelling system convinces on the one hand due to its maximum performance of up to 140 packs per minute and its unique labelling accuracy of +/- 1 mm. On the other hand, this new machine generation offers digital technologies that support the machine operator with regard to usability and quality insurance. For example, the unique SmartHead thermal bar gives real-time feedback of the printing quality to the operator. The integrated 3D cam scans the geometry of a package within the transportation process and calculates fully automatic the perfect labelling position. Independent if it´s a grown product e.g. A fully chicken or skin-packed, irregular product shapes.
You don’t have to be a technical expert in using Tinytag data loggers
You don’t need to be a technical expert using a data logger. Find out how to set up a data logger and offload data with this helpful article.
Tinytag data loggers are designed to be easy to set up and use so that you can start gathering data straightaway.
