More efficiency and sustainability with the SuperThin range.

(openPR) Schur Flexibles presents ultra-thin aluminium applications

Nuremberg, 27 September 2016 – Lower costs through economical use of material and more sustainability enable consumers to live more sustainable lifestyles. For this reason, choosing the optimal packaging for food of all kinds and for non-food products is increasingly important. The Schur Flexibles Group, with its head office in Baden/Austria and 12 locations in Europe, specializes in modern packaging solutions. By showcasing SuperThin at FachPack 2016, the corporate group is realizing its users’ demands.

SuperThin – applicable in many segments
The SuperThin programme from the Schur Flexibles Group includes a variety of ultra-thin aluminium solutions. These are ideal for packaging meat, cheese, dairy products, confectionery, snacks and many other applications.

Best product features despite low use of material
The products of the SuperThin range are ultra-thin yet boast outstanding machinability and extremely tear resistant. The aluminium sector usually includes metal films with thicknesses between 3 and 19 µm, which also optimally withstand folding or turning. e.g. application examples include packaging confectionery such as bars of chocolate, sweets and hollow figures, or for the protection of whole cheese loafs. Thanks to the SuperThin technology considerable savings in material are achieved that bring multiple profits – through increased efficiency in production and more sustainability in comparison with conventional applications.

SuperThin – optimized printed images on aluminium
The SuperThin technology has a further advantage, especially in the field of aluminium packaging. The particularly thin reversed printed aluminium layer completely covers the printing ink, preventing the packaged product coming into contact with the printing and thus ensuring maximum food safety. Furthermore this procedure achieves flawless printing results ensuring that the package stands out at retail. Consequently SuperThin materials are ideal suitable for marketing purposes.
