Harpak Develops Innovative Proprietary Recloseable Packaging System



Thursday, May 22, 2008

Easton, MA (May 22, 2008) - Harpak, Inc. has developed an innovative proprietary recloseable package system specifically manufactured to maintain freshness and to optimize marketability. Recent tests have determined that the C-Pak consistently out performs its competitors in keeping its contents fresh, moist and easy-to-reclose. These results make it an ideal packaging solution for sliced deli meats, dried fruits and nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and many other food products. Unlike typical deli packages, the patent pending C-Pak utilizes an inside closing lid with the ability to close on three surfaces instead of one narrow area. This technique creates a stronger seal than an ordinary over cap. State-of-the-art tray sealing capabilities allow for an extremely tight tolerance between the lid and tray and extends shelf life. After first-time use, consumers know exactly when the package is closed properly because they hear a clicking sound notifying them that the freshness has been locked in. Looking sharp on the shelves is also a priority and the C-Pak has the ability to adapt to multiple presentations. It can hang on a peg board, stack in a well or lie on its side. Colorful labels easily adhere to the package’s smooth outer cover enhancing the product’s brand power on the supermarket shelves. Compared to form/fill/seal packs, the C-Pak is extremely durable and will maintain its shape through the transportation process and beyond. Its non-barrier lid can even be recycled. The C-Pak can easily be worked into any line from Harpak - including the new high-speed multi-lane tray sealer from Mondini. The new multi-lane Evolution can package up to 400 packages per minute depending on package size. Another recent undertaking at Harpak is mastering the skin pack operation. Grocery giants, like Wal-mart are increasingly favoring skin packaging because it leaves less of an environmental footprint than conventional methods of packaging. Because Harpak can seal when a product is above the flange, a smaller tray is optimized. This sleek design allows the manufacturer to transport more packages and utilize the transport cube space significantly more efficiently. The recent pains at the pump have made it more important to create smarter packaging solutions. Simply put, smaller packages cost less money. Skin pack and C-Pak used together would ultimately optimize any plants resources.
