Regulatory Affairs: seeing a product through to market
Regulatory Affairs supports products from the earliest stages of development, working closely with R&D to assess regulatory requirements, materials, formulations and intended uses. In food packaging, this includes evaluating materials for food-contact suitability and preparing the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance. In medical applications, requirements can vary significantly depending on the intended use and the specific project. The role continues
Absorbent pads for fresh fruit: what the bottom of the tray tells us
Moisture management plays a key role in preserving the freshness and appearance of fresh fruit. Absorbent fruit pads help keep packaging clean, improve product presentation and contribute to reducing food waste.
Magic orders new food pad production line including airlaid technology from Andritz
Magic has selected Andritz to supply a new food pad production line featuring advanced airlaid technology. The investment will expand production capacity and support the development of a new generation of absorbent materials for food packaging.
Food packaging: compostable or recyclable? It depends on the application
In food packaging is not only about choosing between compostable and recyclable materials. Absorbent pads must work inside the pack, support the production process and make end-of-life management easier.
Absorbent pads for fresh food packaging: quality starts at the bottom of the tray
In fresh food packaging, perceived quality also depends on what happens at the bottom of the tray. Absorbent pads help protect the product throughout the supply chain by managing the liquids released during storage and supporting a cleaner, fresher-looking presentation on shelf.
Preservation before refrigeration: controlling water in food
Food preservation depends on controlling free water. From traditional methods to exudate management in food packaging, product stability depends on how moisture is managed.
Soft fruit, delicate balance: managing moisture and the pack microclimate
Paperpad is designed to manage free water and moisture in soft fruit packaging. It is made from cellulose and has been assessed for recyclability within the paper recycling stream.
Quality control in food packaging: protecting safety and reputation
Food packaging is a critical barrier protecting safety, hygiene, and reputation. Here’s why quality control makes all the difference.
Disposable materials: end-of-life starts with design
Single-use materials also require careful consideration after use. For this reason, packaging design should take into account material composition, material characteristics and the intended end-of-life management. This includes the development of alternative solutions, verification of their relevant characteristics, and clear communication on the correct disposal route.
Designing food packaging: from material selection to end of life
Materials, performance and end of life all need to be considered when designing food packaging. From raw material selection to what happens after use, each decision must take into account the function the pack is required to perform.
