Innovative technologies to fulfil changing needs of our customers
We invest heavily to maintain our state-of-the-art facilities to ensure continuous development, always being able to fulfil the changing needs of our customers.Our developments are based on a close partnership with our customers and suppliers to produce and deliver competitive packaging solutions that maximize customers’ production capabilities and enhance the end user’s product experience.We have a multiple team of specialists that have the expertise and experience in materials and packaging ensuring development of high quality packaging solutions, from design to process efficiency at filling as well as product safety and highest quality of the finished product.
Packaging today is conceived as a solution to the various problems of environmental sustainability, functionality of use, ease of disposal, preservation of the integrity and freshness of the food product.
The cornerstone on which CARTONPACK develops its technological research is the maximum reduction of the impact that raw materials and their applications can have in the entire life cycle of the packaging, from packaging to use by the final consumer.
Considering the growing specific needs of modernly organized production and distribution processes, one cannot ignore focusing attention on the most advanced solutions to conceive adequate systems and methods for packaging and storing products. For CARTONPACK, efficiency begins with the creation of the right packaging.
Research and Development Division is structured in 3 areas:
• Analysis laboratory
• Product design and industrialization
• Graphic development and Design
ANALYSIS LABORATORY
Equipped with the most advanced analysis systems for raw materials intended for food packaging, the laboratory carries out its activities by collaborating with major internationally accredited research centers. Migration tests, sampling, analysis of food respiration, mechanical performance tests of materials, optimization of the shelf-life of the food product are just some of the services that CARTONPACK offers its customers.
PRODUCT DESIGN AND INDUSTRIALIZATION
The laboratory is responsible for industrializing food packaging starting from the development of the prototype (CAD, CAM), defining the appropriate raw materials and coordinating the production process. The competence of CARTONPACK, in the development of the packaging prototype, is undoubtedly a hallmark of the service offered to the market. Using the most modern 2D / 3D modeling software, the laboratory is able to collect a concept and process it in order to obtain the industrializable project. The product design and industrialization area is completed by a physical archive dedicated to the sampling of all types of packaging and materials; this allows to present to the customer a wide range of alternatives available.
GRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN
It is the creative development center in CARTONPACK. Equipped with the most advanced software and pre-press processing equipment (Art PRO), the graphic development and design department is responsible for coordinating all stages of flexographic printing. The pre-press service provides for the traceability of the creative project which guarantees the univocal coding of the elaborate. It also carries out consultancy services to the customer to obtain the best results in the graphic development of the packaging: the ink kitchen formulates the dosages necessary to guarantee a color rendering with maximum fidelity. The department works in synergy with a printing plate laboratory that creates the printing systems using the most advanced engraving technologies; the polymers used are of the latest generation and the physical archiving of the systems guarantees rapidity in construction and / or modification times.
Closing system secures hermetic sealingTo prevent leakage and adding extraordinary resistance our metal buckets has a curling on the top edge that prevents deformation during handling and securing a more reliable closing
Triple seam adds extraordinary reliability to our pailsHigh level of protection for the health and safety of consumers is important for packaging solutions used for detergents, paints, chemicals and the like.
Easy and reliable seaming with conical Hansa canWe offer a conical Hansa can in aluminum for seafood, designed for easy and reliable seaming and increased process speed in production.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FOOD PACKAGING FOR YOUR PRODUCT
one way to ensure you end up with the right packaging material for your food products is to work with an experienced packaging company. We’ve been providing our customers with high-quality packaging materials to help them protect their products since 1984, and we can help you find the right materials for your needs.
