The Journal of Packaging Technology and Science has published our new research paper, "Characterization of a Food-Safe Colorimetric Indicator Based on Black Rice Anthocyanin/PET Films for Visual Analysis of Fish Spoilage." #Wiley https://lnkd.in/e_DX7KFs https://lnkd.in/eDc84ZdM In this research paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of developing a colorimetric indicator on a commercial scale, which offers the advantages of affordability, the use of food-safe components, and an easy printing process for real-time monitoring of food package quality. This is significant because, by using this technology, consumers can easily and quickly assess the freshness of the seafood they purchase, ensuring their safety and preventing any potential health hazards. This approach increases food quality and decreases food waste. The findings of this study revealed how different parameters play crucial roles in being able to print water-based ink onto polymeric films and turn these colorimetric sensors functional for food packaging applications. #packaging #intelligent_packaging #pH_indicator #coating #ink_formulation #Anthocyanins

The 'Non-paper'. Evolves, protects and breathes. Used as a closure for the packaging of medical-surgical devices, paper represents the ideal material for packaging breathability, even though it is 'critical', given its dual function as a FILTER (of the sterilizing agent during the sterilization process) and BARRIER (as it must maintain sterility after EO, STEAM and irradiation sterilizations). The 'non-paper' is not a hybrid but the right compromise between Company (producer) and Customer (end-user). ✅ Read more on SafeHCP Blog: https://lnkd.in/d_EgwEFR #flexible #packaging #safehcp #healthcare #change #medical #paper

At this year's FACHPACK, MULTIVAC Group will be presenting sustainable solutions for packing and labelling a wide range of products. The focus is on automation, digitalisation and visualization. At the trade fair MULTIVAC will be showing a complete line, which produces pharmaceutical combi-packs with a syringe, filter and vial, where the packs are made from sustainable mono film. The heart of this line is the RX 4.0 thermoforming packaging machine in GMP design, which is equipped with a glass safety enclosure for optimum production conditions. An integrated SCARA robot is used for the precise and automated loading of the individual products. Before the upper web is sealed to the lower web, it is printed inline with a multi-colour design by a digital printer. Visual inspection of the print image is then performed by means of a visual inspection system. Another focus of MULTIVAC's presence at the trade fair will be the presentation of concepts for the food sector: the versatile T 305 Traysealer from MULTIVAC is ideal for the automated packaging of small to medium-sized batches of products. MULTIVAC will also be exhibiting the L 310 Conveyor Belt Labeller at the trade fair, which offers maximum versatility when labelling trays, thermoformed packs, cartons and other packs.
