The future belongs to sustainable packaging solutions. Reflecting this fact, the family-owned film manufacturer SÜDPACK will present its product and service portfolio in this area in November at PACK EXPO International 2024 in Chicago at Booth S-4255. Visitors can find out among other things about the concepts of Pure-Line products, which combine high recyclability and material efficiency with optimal product quality and safety. Pure-Line offers high-performance films for thermoformed packagings, trays and pouches suitable for packaging a wide range of foods. With this and other solutions, SÜDPACK provides its customers with genuine added value for future-oriented packaging design.
The company’s stand in Chicago will demonstrate its clear commitment to increased sustainability. But above all it will be a must-see presentation for all companies who want to design greener, more profitable, and therefore modern packaging processes and concepts.
New products from SÜDPACK
SÜDPACK expects keen visitor interest in its recyclable, single-material solutions based on PP and PE. Features that characterize the recyclable high-performance films in the Pure-Line range include a much smaller carbon footprint than conventional concepts, and high versatility.
Apart from packaging solutions for fresh foods, the company offers a PP-based concept for packaging coffee in stand-up pouches as a substitute for the usual PET/aluminum composites. According to internal LCA calculations, that reduces the carbon footprint of a coffee package by more than 30%. Further advantages are the high material efficiency due to reduced density, optimal barrier properties thanks to the excellent water vapor barrier provided by PP, and outstanding ease of processing, which is down to the thermal resistance.
The innovations at the booth also include the (Multi-)Peel PET floatable solution. Thanks to its low density, the floatable top web can be separated during recycling from PET trays, producing a clean recycled material flow.
The Multifol Extreme stands out for a low material input. The high-performance flexible film from SÜDPACK is up to 30% thinner than other, conventional PA/PE structures. Thanks to exceptional sealing performance even when contaminated with oil or fat as well as high puncture resistance, Multifol Extreme films are ideal for securely packaging greasy, protein-rich products and frozen food in MAP and vacuum packagings.
For producers of nuts, sweet and savory snacks, as well as spices, coffee, and tea, SÜDPACK also offers a sustainable solution: PP and PE-based, recyclable monomaterials for manufacturing stand-up pouches with or without reclose systems are a sustainable alternative to conventional film structures. For producers and packagers of liquid or pasty foods such as fruit purees, pouches can also be fitted with spouts. Together with the cooperation partners SN Maschinenbau and MENSHEN, SÜDPACK offers an overall concept for easy and reliable in-house production of spouted pouches.

New services from SÜDPACK
Introduced in late 2023, the new LCA tool EcoTrace has become an essential component in assessing the eco-balance of packaging solutions. Using this tool, SÜDPACK analyzes the environmental impact over the entire life cycle of its own products as well as customer concepts. This enables fact-based decisions that take into account not only greenhouse gases (CO2e), but also other factors such as fossil resource consumption and environmental and human toxicity.
New business models from SÜDPACK
The SÜDPACK management see the transformation in the plastics and packaging industry as an opportunity rather than a challenge. With its expertise, bold vision, top technology, and high investment power, the film manufacturer has the drive to achieve its goal “Leadership in Sustainability” – which was defined in the Corporate Strategy 2030. And SÜDPACK is also actively driving the transformation process. Apart from the early development of sustainable production lines, the company is also currently the only supplier in the industry that has succeeded in opening up new prospects in chemical recycling with a novel process. The company’s goal is to future-proof its own operations with circular business models and to offer stakeholders real added value.
The trade show in Chicago is the perfect opportunity for anybody who wants to find out more about the sustainable packaging solutions from SÜDPACK. Visitors can expect expert consulting, fascinating insights, and inspiring ideas for sustainable packaging.
