Innovation and development
Tomorrow’s packaging takes shape when we challenge what we already know.

Innovation
Toward the
next breakthrough
Packaging function, appearance and added value always come first. We’re constantly on the lookout for potential new materials that provide the best touch, extend the content’s shelf life or boost your green credentials. Among other things.
Access
Recycled PP
PP is a sought-after plastic material, and not without reason. New methods are currently increasing the availability of rPP in Europe.
Cooperation
Working together with you
We’re motivated by your ideas. If you want to develop an idea, we're right there with you.
Sustainability
+11 days
Plastic material can extend shelf life in several ways. For example, 1.5 g of plastic is enough to increase the shelf life of an ordinary cucumber.
Sustainability
5–6 times longer shelf life
Our Scanfill Foil provide significantly longer shelf life for ground beef compared with product packaged with in-store overwrapping film.
By choosing the right packaging material to protect against oxygen, moisture and impacts, you have every possibility of optimizing the content’s shelf life. Especially important if the contents are foodstuffs.
Bioplastic
Trailblazing bio plastic
Bio-based and industrially compostable. Flow 1.7 from Sulapac is a unique thermoforming foil that combines the functionality of plastic with the advantages of fiber material. The surface layer has an exclusive feel and a low carbon footprint.
Development
Development is close to our heart
We’re literally next door to development. We test and evaluate material and capabilities at our laboratory and thermoformer, located right next door to our production.
Prototypes
Evaluate,
upgrade, repeat
We create prototypes in order to evaluate function and material quality as part of our internal development process. The work forms the basis for our ongoing development efforts and the recommendations we provide you with as our customer.
We regularly create thermoformed prototypes for internal work. Our proximity to rapid prototyping allows us to analyze results with short lead times.
Accessible testing in our own thermoformer
A prototype allows you to see clarity and color, to feel the material and test the function of your packaging as if it were your own production.
Prototypes for customers
Our proximity to the Polykemi Group allows us to control a material’s mechanical, optical and physical properties down to the smallest detail.
Customized recipes
Our understanding of the various processes a foil must perform in is just as important as the end result.
Optimized processability
The opportunities for variation are virtually endless; your priorities shape our recommendations.
The right foil for the right packaging
Part of Polykemi Group, a knowledge-based business
When material chemistry becomes a marketing advantage
If a foil is to perform, the raw material and recipe must also perform. Our foil extrusion builds on our entire Group’s collective expertise in advanced compounding.
Always quality tested
When you receive material from us, we guarantee it has been tested to meet current industry standards.
See the test results
When we test your material, you can get access to the test results. Talk to us if you’re looking for specific values.
Our test equipment
We test all incoming material in our own laboratory according to high quality standards. We test our foil again according to the requirements in your order before shipping it to you.
Our testing equipment
Standard analyses
In-depth analyses
Migration test
The test checks whether the packaging releases any substances, and if so which.
Seal
Tests how well a lidding film can be welded to our foil.
Anti fog-test
Simulates conditions that could cause fogging. Measures how quickly fogging arises and/or disappears.
Peel
Measures the force needed to pull a welded lidding film from the packaging.
DSC
Examines the condition of a material, its composition, glass transition and crystallization temperatures.
Gas chromatograph/GC
Checks the hydrocarbon emissions from a material to keep substances with a low molecular weight at a low level.
FTIR
Shows a material’s fingerprint and identifies polymers, reinforcements, additives and signs of degradation.
Tensile and flexural strength
Measures the strength, flexibility and stiffness of a material by applying a force to test specimens.
Color spectrophotometer
Checks color in D65, A, TL84. Measures light and color according to the dE, dL, da, db, dC and dH equation.
Thermoforming
Checks how the foil behaves during the thermoforming process.
Top load
Measures how much top weight the packaging can cope with before it collapses.
Climate simulation
Measures how the test specimen copes with extreme temperatures during shipping, storage or use.
Impact strength
Measures impact strength by allowing a pendulum to knock off a piece of a specimen at temperatures from +23°C to -40°C.
MFI/MFR melt Index
Measures flowability by allowing a given weight to force molten material of a given temperature through a capillary.
Multilayer structure
Investigates a foil’s multilayer structure by analyzing services and cross sections under a microscope.
Thickness meter
Measures the precise thickness with the aid of a micrometer. We use in-line, fixed and hand-held micrometers.
