Flexible packaging solutions specialist Korozo Group is showing its extensive portfolio of advanced innovations suitable for various food applications to Pack Expo 2024, running this week (3-6 November) in Chicago. Korozo Group is exhibiting in Lakeside Upper, Stand 7960.
The innovations on offer include skin films for vacuum packs, thermoforming films, stand-up and flatbottom pouches, and lidding and flow wrap films. Korozo Group’s flexible films can be used to pack a variety of food items including, meat, poultry, seafood; fresh and frozen foods; cheese and dairy products; bakery and dried goods; pet food; beverages and coffee; confectionery and snacks.
As well as providing the required barrier properties and performance characteristics needed to maintain product integrity, films can be engineered to be ready to recycle using Korozo’s proprietary KoroRCY polyolefin-based flexible laminated film. This film is used to create a recycle-ready film solution, which can be used in multiple chilled and high-barrier packaging applications.
Manufactured using Korozo’s in-house state-of-the-art extrusion lines, KoroRCY features an advanced PE formulation. Key features and benefits include unrivaled levels of clarity when compared to OPP/PE and PET/PE laminates, and stiffness, strength and weight that surpass conventional PET/PE laminates of comparable thickness.
Ideal for flexo and gravure printing, KoroRCY provides moisture and gas barriers suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and other applications, and packs are suitable for zippers and tear notches.
Kemal Yürüm, regional sales manager at Korozo Group for the Americas, said, “Pack Expo is renowned as a showcase of the latest packaging innovations. We are delighted to have Korozo Group be part of that tradition.
“Our range of flexible packaging solutions for a diverse range of food applications means our stand is sure to be a big draw for all those attending the show and looking for the next innovations to get their products to market.”
Daniel Strickland, who recently joined forces with Korozo Group as it targets creating a C$ 50 million entity in North America, said, “I can’t wait to be face-to-face with the region’s flexible packaging industry and showcase exactly what it is Korozo can do to elevate products at the same time as championing sustainability. Pack Expo is the perfect place for us to help America decide on a sustainable and circular future.”
