Formats

Universal Pack packaging lines for sachets in flat blank cartons are specifically dedicated to insert single-dose packages into ready-to-market cartons. We have developed patented counting units for any number of packages to be picked and placed into cartons, which support high flexibility in count configurations. We can insert the required number of sachets into cartons in different positions. Our approach focuses on reducing as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.

Laminates

Universal Pack packaging lines for sachets in cartons from flat blank can process typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethylene), PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethylene terephthalate – aluminum – polyethylene) and cold-sealable materials. Our lines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethylene), and more on request.

Sustainability

Our continuous research in reducing the packaging industry’s carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for processing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the package itself and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions in close collaboration with leading global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce more sustainable packages.
