Bosch Presents World’s First Sealed Paper Packaging
Great offer for environmentally conscious consumers
Compared to conventional paper, Axello®ZAP is substantially more durable, while retaining its natural paper characteristics and advantages from source to recycling. The sustainable characteristics of the material increase its appeal to eco-conscious consumers. With the Axello®ZAP paper, BillerudKorsn?s has developed a new, better packaging material which reliably withstands the stronger mechanical requirements in processing. “The combination of the strength, flexibility and stiffness of Axello®ZAP paper fits perfectly with Bosch’s technology,” said Ole Paulussen, sales director at BillerudKorsn?s.
More flexibility for formats and pack styles
Until now, the production of mono-material paper packaging was only possible with glued pre-made bags or formed paper bags on mandrel wheel technology. The VFFS concept, more flexible regarding formats and pack styles and thus popular on the market, so far only allowed bag production using polymer film or fully coated paper. With the ZAP-Module from Bosch it is now possible to process mono-material paper on VFFS technology with dust-tight sealing. The secret lies in the characteristics of the Axello®ZAP paper, which was specially developed for this application, as well as in the ZAP-Module, which applies a minimal amount of the sealing agent during the packaging process to enable heatsealing of the paper on the VFFS machine.
Revolution in the dry food market
The solution meets the growing demand for sustainable packaging for dry foods such as sugar, flour, grains and powders. Moreover, the machine is user-friendly and allows versatile packaging styles, including pillow, gusseted and block bottom bags with gable or flat top closure. “We are positive that our solution, supported by several years of development, not only addresses today’s challenges for our customers but also gives them the possibility to enter completely new markets and areas of application using sustainable packaging,” said Marcus Velezmoro, sales responsible for the VFFS ZAP portfolio at Bosch Packaging Technology.
