Rigid and flexible packaging materials manufacturer Clear Lam Packaging is ready to introduce its PrimaPak Packaging System in Europe.
The company designed the flexible, stackable and reclosable PrimaPak vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) packaging technology using a Ilapak Vegatronic 2000 machine platform modified with Clear Lam’s PrimaPak equipment interface.

It will be used to produce cubed packages with a reclosable feature from proprietary rollstock, without the use of any preforms or fitments.
Designed as a replacement for rigid cans, bottles, jars, trays and select flexible packaging, the new packaging is lightweight and stackable and can feature merchandising on six sides. It uses 70% less plastic than polyethylene terephthlate (PET) jars, and increases manufacturing efficiencies also.
Clear Lam Packaging president and CEO James Sanfilippo said that Ilapak is the first authorised vertical form-fill-seal machinery company to work with PrimaPak applications.
"The PrimaPak™ packaging minimises impacta on the environment throughout the supply chain," Sanfilippo added.
