Meat+Poultry - August 2022 - 39

high oxygen barrier materials for extended
shelf life and a significant reduction in fossil
derived materials.
" The product is widely sold in Europe
today for deli meats and is expanding into
the Americas, " Bandari said. " The structure
is 85% paper with a barrier layer to ensure
product freshness and maintain shelf life. Its
lightweight footprint offers space reduction
with upscale merchandising for shallow draw
applications like shingled deli meats. "
The labor market was a catalyst for many
companies automating and reducing the
lines on the floor, and Weber is coming up
with solutions so customers can repurpose
labor and be more efficient through its
packaging solutions.
" From a manufacturing perspective, we
take a different approach, " said Mike King,
technical solutions manager of packaging for
Weber. " We own our own vision company, so
all the components on the line are engineered
and programmed by Weber in-house, which is a
completely different philosophy than what else
is going on out there. "
LOOKS MATTER
Packaging in the cluttered retail environment
requires an exclusive look and premium
appearance to stand out on the shelf and to
attract consumers.
For instance, Amcor's Amplify finishing
technologies create a " stop the cart "
experience with a portfolio of sensory
solutions designed to create engagement
opportunities, according to Bandari.
" Amcor has invested in another Amplify
production asset in order to meet the
high demand for shelf differentiated print
technologies, " she said. " This asset came
on-line in 2022 and was built for handling
shorter runs with added flexibility. We are now
equipped to handle demanding flexo and roto
designs covering short to long run production
needs with redundant manufacturing
operations. "
" Through
smart insight,
imagination
and
innovation,
we collaborate
to spark
meaningful
ideas,
accelerate
growth and
move brands
forward. "
