At Record Packaging Solutions, we are passionate about providing the best packing technology and support for every customer. Every machine is tailor fitted to the client’s specifications, ensuring that their products receive top quality packaging. In this blog, we want to demonstrate the care and decades of expertise that feed into every one of our packaging solutions by focusing on one particular product — fresh cheese. Read on to find out more!
For a fresh, solid product like cheese, flow wrapping is the ideal packaging solution. This involves a flow wrapping machine encasing the cheese in a film (such as polypropylene), fusing the material with heat and pressure, and then slicing around each individual product to create a single packet. A horizontal flow wrapping machine is highly flexible, with a modular design that can be easily customised to meet your specifications. This means that varying shapes and sizes of cheese, like snack-sized pieces or cheese singles, can be just as easily accommodated as large blocks.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging, or MAP, is a process in which perishable goods, like cheese or meat, are packaged in a container that holds a different mixture of gases than the air we breathe. This allows the manufacturer to design an optimal atmosphere within the flow wrapped environment that helps to extend the shelf life of the cheese, limiting the growth of pathogens and preserving freshness. Cheese can be sold in MAP packaging and kept refrigerated to prolong shelf life for as long as possible.
As we have explained here, our team can work with you to find the most suitable and cost-effective packaging solution for your product — we have over three decades of experience in the packaging industry, and we pride ourselves on our exemplary customer satisfaction record. For example, flow wrapping is one of the most efficient options available— a flow wrapping machine requires only one roll of film and facilitate high speed production.
