Selig Group Presents Largest Range at Fachpack

Selig Group is pleased to announce its largest range of flex­i­ble pack­ag­ing, lin­ers and vents is on show at Fach­pack 20022, offer­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers even more choice. From Selig’s Ecoflex high­ly recy­clable flex­i­ble pack­ag­ing and new­ly avail­able in Europe Pre­Ven­torTM Press-Fit vents to the expand­ed range of foam lin­ers, there is a pack­ag­ing solu­tion for every requirement.

Selig Ecoflex flex­i­ble packaging

On stand is Selig Flex­i­bles’ high­ly recy­clable solu­tion, Ecoflex, that is prov­ing pop­u­lar with baby food, con­fec­tionery, snack­ing, and phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal man­u­fac­tur­ers alike. A range of tri­als were run with cus­tomers in 2021 that have result­ed in them mak­ing the switch to more sus­tain­able pack­ag­ing. Selig’s Ecoflex flex­i­ble solu­tions are made from a PP sin­gle-mate­r­i­al pack­ag­ing mate­r­i­al for recy­cling (cold seal appli­ca­tions), that is made of recy­clable polypropy­lene and that pro­vides an excel­lent bar­ri­er against oxy­gen, water vapour and most min­er­al oils.

Ecoflex can be processed at high speed on most pack­ag­ing equip­ment and ther­mal dam­age is avoid­ed, due to the cold seal appli­ca­tion. The pack­ag­ing also offers very good punc­ture resis­tance, and thick­ness dif­fer­ences in over­lap seams are well com­pen­sat­ed. In addi­tion, the print­ed pack­ag­ing is detectable in most sort­ing plants in Europe and can be assigned to the PP recy­cling stream and recy­cled. Thus, valu­able plas­tic is recov­ered from the pack­ag­ing material.

Expand­ed range of liners

Fol­low­ing recent acqui­si­tions, such as MGJ — a lead­ing sup­pli­er of foam-based lin­ers world­wide, Selig Group, now offers one of the most exten­sive ranges of pri­ma­ry seals, induc­tion seals, glue applied, induc­tion bond and vent­ed seal­ing solu­tions. On stand at FACHPACK are the company’s oenosealÒ, tre­syleneÒ and Uni-FoamÔ lin­ers. Oenoseal offers wine pro­duc­ers the abil­i­ty to seal screw­cap bot­tles cost-effec­tive­ly, whilst help­ing the wine to age to per­fec­tion. Tre­sy­lene, an expand­ed poly­eth­yl­ene foam coat­ed on each side with a poly­mer film, can be tai­lored to suit the spe­cif­ic the bar­ri­er require­ments of the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal, cos­met­ic and agro­chem­i­cal mar­kets. Uni-Foam, a robust, non-absorbent expand­ed poly­eth­yl­ene lin­ing mate­r­i­al, is com­press­ible and resis­tant to micro­bial growth. It offers a high­ly effi­cient and reli­able bar­ri­er to aque­ous, acidic, or oil-based liquids.

Push­fit vents

Selig has begun stock­ing the company’s high­ly suc­cess­ful push fit Pre­Ven­torTM Press-Fit vents in Europe. The range has been devel­oped to allow con­tain­ers to breathe and equalise pres­sure, with­out risk of leak­age or con­t­a­m­i­na­tion. Devel­oped around Selig’s world-class pack­age vent­ing design, the vents not only resolve off-gassing prob­lems but can be used to light­weight packaging.

Hol­ger Alvensleben, Sales Direc­tor at Selig Flex­i­bles, com­ments: “We are bring­ing our biggest range of pack­ag­ing solu­tions to this year’s Fach­pack. Pro­duc­ers can now resolve their sus­tain­able pack­ag­ing, seal­ing and con­tain­er bloat­ing and pan­el­ing issues more eas­i­ly and quickly.”
