PROSEAL AUSTRALIA WON PRESTIGIOUS APPMA AWARD

Proseal Australia has won a prestigious Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) Award of Excellence.  The company was rewarded for its pioneering work with its customer and packaging partner in delivering a solution that reduced the amount of plastic packaging for strawberries by as much as 96%.

The Proseal tray sealer is highly flexible and able to handle different pack sizes with fast changeovers using quick interchangeable tooling and easy-to-change pre-printed films.

Top seal packs also offer a number of additional benefits over clam-shells, including extending the shelf-life of products, reducing overpacking, eliminating spillage and providing effective tamper-evidence.  In addition, they reduce storage and transportation costs. The combination of these many benefits can deliver a ROI of less than two years for growers.

Another advantage of the punnets developed by Proseal and CKF is that they mirror the common footprint of PET punnets, meaning there is no need for companies to invest in additional tooling.  This allows them to make a smooth transition to compostable packs without any downtime.
