ZERO Technology® tools

With the patented ZERO Technology ®tools which can be used in all FFS machines IMA Intecma offers the perfect solution for the use of mono-materials such as PET, PP and PLA.
Functionality and sustainability are on the same level in packaging development. This has to be taken into consideration when developing alternative packaging concepts with sustainable materials such as mono-materials as well as materials from renewable resources. IMA Intecma offers solutions to save material:
▪ Better material characteristics
▪ Thinner wall thickness for cups
▪ Thinner foil thickness
▪ Optimized thermoforming
▪ Optimized processing
In order to offer sustainable packaging solutions, we work from the beginning of a project in close cooperation with customers and packaging material suppliers to develop solutions for saving packaging material and at the same time take into consideration the environment, the market, the customer ‘s product and the overall packaging concept.
Together with our customers and material suppliers we test new packaging materials made from renewable or recyclable materials to ensure that the materials can be processed on our packaging machines and that the greatest possible machine output is guaranteed.
