Mondi : re)seals the deal with innovative meat package for Orkla

Much of the project's work took place at Mondi Styria, a film extruding plant in Austria. Mondi makes both the top web using a specially developed multilayer laminating film that offers outstanding temperature stability and barrier properties and the flexible bottom web.

Pack production is a complex, multi-step process, Wikstrøm explained. Given that the reels are delivered to Orkla with the labels pre-applied, Orkla did not need to make any major new investments in order to implement the solution. And the production lines making the package components run at the same speed as before, with only minor adjustments.

Building on this success, Mondi already has launched new projects with reclosable labels for vertical form/fill/seal (VFFS) packs, and sees a variety of potential applications for this technology.
