Südpack’s new CarbonLite film family will be showcased at Fachpack 2025 at the SN stand 1-317. Once again, the film specialist and the machine manufacturer are working hand in hand – demonstrating that mono-PE stand-up pouches with an integrated PE zipper can be produced efficiently on a standard horizontal pouch packaging machine, thanks to our many years of expertise. This practical and sturdy pouch-making material requires no aluminum or metallization.

Südpack has combined and further developed the proven tubular pouch films from its premium Pure-Line under the new CarbonLite brand. Designed to en-sure a long shelf life and full enjoyment down to the very last crumb, these PE- and PP-based mono-materials can be equipped – just like conventional film structures – with the required oxygen and water vapor barriers, UV protection, and anti-fog features for packaging a wide variety of snacks, from nut mixes, grated cheese, and salami sticks to dog treats.

In terms of performance, this mono-material, which is generally more challenging to process, meets all expectations. As demonstrated live at Fachpack, it can be processed smoothly on a standard packaging machine with consistent output and excellent process and packaging reliability. Its high thermal resistance also ensures secure sealing for opening aids and reclose systems.

The stand-up pouches are produced on an FME 50 horizontal pouch packaging machine (HFFS) from SN Maschinenbau. This model is a simple, flexible, and powerful pouch packaging machine from the Economic Series. It is suitable for nearly all dry food applications and also impresses with easy operation and rapid, largely tool-free format changes in under 15 minutes. Another advantage is its compact design and small footprint.
