Bosch single-wrap die-fold package with hermetic seals

Bosch has introduced its single-wrap die-fold package with hermetic seals. It is machine designed for gentle product handling and heat minimisation.

The company claims its precise fold achieves a premium package look and that it can improve shelf life.

The pack style is produced by the Starpac 600 HL and is compatible to run polypropylene film (OPP). The heat-sealed and airtight hermetic seals may maintain product freshness for increased shelf life while protecting the product against insects and moisture and preserving original aromas and flavours.

The machine automatically applies tear tape to the packaging material to create a tamperproof package.

The machine wraps small to medium-sized chocolates with an output of up to 600 pieces per minute. The machine uses a folding box to create all folds at once for symmetrical side and longitudinal seals. This is achieved by the folding box’s ability to maintain the position of wrapping materials with elastic properties which, according to the company, cannot always be ensured with multistation folding.
