Evaluation and optimization of easy opening packaging concepts

Easy opening packaging enhances product acceptance by consumers. We can optimize the opening properties of your product packaging, whilst ensuring effective transport of the packaging, to enable comfortable and easy removal of the product. Our expertise in packaging processes, including upstream and downstream processing steps, means we are your ideal partner for developing effective, easy to open packaging for your products.

We have specialized in easy opening packaging since 2005. We understand what requirements optimum packaging must fulfill. The opening properties of packaging play an important role for consumer acceptance of a product. Consumer-friendliness and an ever older population are key points to consider here. It is not only elderly people who desire packaging that is easy to open and comfortable and hygienic removal of the product.

Our long experience in this field has allowed us to get the balance right between creating easy to open packaging and yet ensuring the packaged is effectively sealed. We can assist you with the realization of easy opening concepts, including packaging design, packaging manufacture, and quality assurance.
