What the materials cover
The 5th European Stand-up Pouch Conference examines why stand-up pouches have grown strongly for years and which advantages they offer in processing, product preservation, sustainability, economics and handling. The presentations cover market requirements and research as well as technical solutions for manufacturing and filling processes. Topics include seal seam inspection, paper laminates, monomaterial pouches, flexographic printing with matching inks and adhesives, and recyclable concepts. Brand owners, machine manufacturers and material suppliers share their practical experience. The documents are useful for managers and decision-makers in packaging technology, production, purchasing, sales, development and key account management who prepare or evaluate pouch-related decisions.

The concepts of FS and FFS machines vary in different items - however, there are many common parallels, for example regarding the maximum filling speed. SN offers different concepts for a wide range of performances. Furthermore, machines for manufacturing bags in an average performance range are pro

The concepts will be introduced by means of examples of different industries during the presentation. The clear and obvious arguments for and against a concept will be analysed from different points of view, with surprising results

In stand-up pouches, aluminium foil is not only used due to its unmatched barrier, but contributes to safe and fast sealing by its excellent heat conductivity. Model laminates with aluminium foil have been sealed under different conditions and the formation and shape of the seal seams, especially a

Furthermore, the failure of seal seams of corresponding filled pouches after drop tests is illustrated. Properly and insufficiently sealed seams of the pouches, especially their failing boundaries between different layers have been monitored by means of different microscopic techniques

Since a long time, it is the wish of all food and pharma packing companies as well as packaging manufacturers, to get 100% control over the seal quality and to avoid leaking packs. Especially the process of spout inserting during the pouch manufacturing needs special care and attention. Micro-channe

So far an in-line 100% non-destructive inspection existed only at low speed, batch-wise or with low resolution.
A brand new inspection technology based on infrared, offers the expected high speed, high sensitive solution.
To protect yourself against claims and your customer against inferior products, the QipCam can be the most suitable inspection system.
This presentation will show a brief overview of the major different existing pack integrety inspection technologies and explain in detail the capabilities of the new infrared inspection equipment.
Customer examples and a live demonstration will show the functionality

Within recent months, multiple stakeholders increase the pressure towards more ecologic recycling in packaging. For GreenCycle in Germany faces lots of positive prerequisites: a sophisticated plastics industry, the origin markets for both Lidl and Kaufland, citizens which are used to separation of w

Still we have only few examples for circular-economy-products which can be found in paper and cardboard but also in film and PET. The presentation takes y closer look upon a few examples from GreenCycle. Another focus will be laid upon closing the loop of information alongside this circular processes especially for packaging. Who is not facing this topic today might be lost tomorrow

If 10 years ago somebody would have said to us: “A paper bottle is possible”, we would have a laugh and maybe didn’t see the necessity. Today Carlsberg develops one. If 10 year ago you would have heard all the plastic trays could become paper you at least would have smiled. Today we make a sta

At Billerud Korsnäs we are working on the stretch ability and forming of paper. And with the right barriers we ca make an embossable pouch: ´A paper stand up pouch´

From Thomas Fischer -
Over the last years the stand-up-pouch (SUP) could gain significant market share in flexible packaging.
For many liquid, pasty and fibrous filling goods, but also for dry, powdery products the SUP is the ideal package style.
Increasing demands for higher output of SUP filling lines and thus reduced
... [Show more]cycle times for dosing the product and sealing the top seam, required new strategies and technologies for safe production of tightly sealed top seams at the end of the packaging process.
It is recognized that ultrasonic sealing technology made a huge contribution to solving this challenge over the last 2 decades.
Out of the niche this sealing method became a standard solution for multiple applications within the packaging industry – the required heat to melt down the sealing layer is generated directly within the sealing layer by high frequent mechanical vibrations.
From SUP for beverages, sauerkraut to ready-to-eat-meals and wet pet food – the demand for robust and safe sealing despite of product residues being present in the seam area can be realized with ultrasonic.
For years hundreds of SUP filling and closing lines with thousands of ultrasonic sealing stations in multi-shift operations produce continuously the highest quality at low operation and maintenance costs.
Future film materials with no aluminum, partially based only on one type of polymer, will introduce challenges to the sealing technologies which can already be solved by ultrasonics as of today.
Robust sealing processes and lowest leaker ratios are the result of an intelligent digital ultrasonic generator in combination with durable sealing tools that grant repeatable sealing quality also under varying production conditions
