Since many year Sacchital has been trying to match flexible packaging (food and non food) with the world of paper. The environment, being “green” and eco-friendly, sustainability are key priorities for today’s consumers. Home made and artisanal, though safe and well preserved is what consumers want their products to be. The answer is PaperFlex® System, by the Sacchital Group. Paperflex System is the integrated system of flexible packaging where paper is combined and laminated to polymers to create innovative and environmental friendly materials, including die cut see thru windows, and still keeping high barrier protection as required, long shelf life, easy machine operation. Thanks to the combined know how of Sacchital (paper), Akerlund (aluminum) and Neophane (plastic films), and the ability to catch and exploit new trends, Sacchital designs a custom tailored paper dress for every product, food or non food.

Recyclable products: The Barilla Case
Following regulations set by the Aticelca Protocol for recyclable paper materials, Sacchital has worked with major players in the food industry to develop a line of paper based recyclable packaging products. A flagship example is the project carried out with Barilla for the Mulino Bianco line of cookies and biscuits. Selecting the appropriate ratios between paper weight, polymer film thickness and adhesives composition, the resulting film has been recognized as meeting the required specifications for recyclability.

In cooperation with Rana, Sacchital has introduced a new concept in packaging, setting a revolutionary, once in a lifetime change in the way fresh food is packed: a paper packaging, with a die cut see thru window, airtight, with hi barrier properties.

Today Sacchital is getting requests from different countries and industry sectors (confectionery, chocolate, bakery, cold cuts, cheese& dairy, IV Gamma, sandwich, hamburgers) to develop tailored paper based products.
