This new technology is a technical, worldwide patent under the name ‘skinny-pack’, which replaces sections of the 0.45mm thick sides with a much thinner 0.25-0.30mm film. At the same time and depending on the application, barrier properties can be added to the film.
The concept offers alternative solutions to heavier or more expensive forms of packaging, such as conventional injection mould packaging as well as glass. Added value can be created by means of barrier properties, mechanical sealing and/or the application of printed film.
