Over the last year Carton Pack has concentrated particularly on designing and creating both plastic and cardboard packaging for the berries market.
The Rutigliano (Bari) based packaging company , thanks to its global experience in packaging for fresh products, has developed some innovative solutions and alternatives to the standards used by following the strategic approach of 'sustainable thinking', considering global sustainability as a fundamental value of the product mix.
The CartonShell® microwave carton alternative to the well-known rPet Clamshell has been developed for berries, which are increasingly finding their way onto the shelves and into the consumer shopping basket.
This patented model, as well as having a strong resistance to moisture and special structural strength characteristics, is perfectly suited to automated packaging processes in standard filling and closing lines. Cartonshell® is perfectly stackable and fits the dimensions of classic cardboard boxes, Europool and standard IFCO boxes.
The materials used are cardboard and cellophane film, which allow for complete disposal in the paper as it consists of 100% cellulosic material.
CartonShell® protects any freshly packaged product from contamination and damage, providing valuable support for communication and marketing. In addition, it can be supplied unassembled, saving on transport costs.
Especially suitable for berries, the new Carton Pack packaging is available in different sizes, from the classic 125g up to 500g.
For all these advantages, Cartonshell is one of three winners of the "Best of 2020" -Expo Direkt Innovation Award", an award given by the jury of VSSE (Der Verband Süddeutscher Spargel- und Erdbeeranbauer e. V. (VSSE) organisers of Europe's largest strawberry and asparagus event, Expo-SE, Expo Direkt.
Products with the greatest potential for market penetration and creating benefits for the end user were selected for this award.
Carton Pack's objective is to provide the agri-food industry with functional solutions, with a careful eye on new communication trends, new requirements in terms of contamination, but without underestimating sustainability, and special attention to the process of recovery and recycling of materials.
