How to choose the right package (Reiser UK -- 2 of 12) - 4

ask: Is this product made
in a batch or continuous
process? How is it delivered
to the packaging machine?
Will it be loaded manually or
automatically?
Speed: The need for
greater speed and efficiency
is common in today's market,
and that applies to packaging
too. Different companies will
have unique needs for output
and production, depending on
their operations and on their
customers' expectations.
Examples of questions
to ask: What's the goal for
packages produced per minute
or, for that matter, per month
or year? Is there variance for
seasons? What happens after
packages leave the line? Will
there be secondary packaging
that impacts the production
rates and speed of the primary
packaging?

DIFFERENT FORMATS
FOR TODAY'S
CHOOSY CONSUMERS
Vacuum packaging:
Vacuum packaging, which
once was challenged by
consumer acceptance due
to non-traditional meat color
and appearance, has caught
on and is becoming more
commonly used, especially for
ground beef. A major appeal
is the fact that it offers the
longest shelf life. As the market
for vacuum packaging has
grown, packaging technologies
and the systems equipped
to produce such items have
had to keep pace. Reiser, for
example, offers form-fill-seal
solutions for vacuum packages
and vacuum skin packages,
along with tray-sealed vacuum
skin packages.

Modified atmosphere
packaging (MAP): MAP
packaging likewise has gained
consumer acceptance and
industry applications in recent
years. Modified atmosphere
packaging, such as packaging
produced on Reiser's tray
seal and form-fill-seal MAP
packaging systems, offers
extended shelf life that is
beneficial to retailers and
foodservice operators as well as
to consumers.
Chub package: Chub
packaging for meat products,
produced with vacuum fillers
like Reiser's Vemag, is another
example of a format that is
catching on with meat processors
and buyers, for reasons ranging
from presentation to space saving
to sustainability to extended
shelf-life.
