Masterpack Group winner of Packaging Innovation Award

Masterpack Group is a leading developer in high-end packaging solutions. With nearly 100 years of experience, we differentiate ourselves from our competitors by choosing not to be a “one size fits all” producer. From the most delicate products in the food- and pharmaceutical industry to the extremes in materials and conditions in mining and chemicals: we are able to pack and protect it. With our FIBC’s and service we create the opportunity for you to pack and transport your products. Working with the Masterpack Group entails that this can be done in the most efficient and responsible way. The safety and quality of your products is our main concern. That’s why we work in state-of-the-art clean rooms with the corresponding certification: Class 10,000 for liner production and Class 100,000 FIBC confection. Additionally, we have fully integrated production facilities and secluded loading and packaging areas for optimal safety measures. Our certifications in a nutshell: * ISO 9001, ISO 14000, ISO 22000 * BRC, AIB * GMP, HACCP, HALAL * SA8000, SEDEX * Class 10,000 liner production * Class 100,000 FIBC confection FIBC Modified Atmosphere Packaging Technology The M-A-P technology provides the ability to customize the O2, N2, or CO2 set-point levels within the filled (FIBC/Big Bag/Super Sack) to the desired levels. These benefits include extended shelf-life, higher quality product, no need for chemicals for pest control. Want to know more? Check our website.

Masterpack and Somsix developed smart sensors for non-invasive monitoring the closed environment (Modified Atmosphere) inside big bags. Keeping an eye on what is happening inside a bag after it’s been filled is crucial to the success of Modified Atmosphere, but it also prevents waste and adds to sustainability. But with Modified Atmosphere being what it is (a closed environment) it is hard to track the state of the atmosphere without damaging it. That’s why we developed in close cooperation with Somsix smart sensors for non-invasive monitoring. Let’s look at some of the solutions we offer. The challenge: keep the oxygen levels inside the Big Bag below 1% at all times, and monitor this frequently – which is impossible when opening the bag. The solution: non-invasive sensors that measure every 6 hours and send data to an easy-to-use dashboard. Somsix sensors and monitoring categories MA Sensors for FIBCs - We created patented applied sensors for remote monitoring of oxygen, temperature and humidity. They enable you to have 100% control of your bags, even remotely, helping you to prevent

Masterpack have extensive experience in dealing with delicate products in many industries. Masterpack works with Class 10.000 and Class 100.000 Cleanrooms, which is the equivalent of ISO 7 and ISO 8. More than just clean Cleanrooms play a big part in our production process and are a big factor in keeping food and pharmaceutical products safe. In this blog, we explain more about Cleanrooms and how they make a difference in our packaging solutions. A different kind of clean A cleanroom is defined in the ISO standard 14644-1 as: “A room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimize the introduction, generation, and retention of particles inside the room and in which other relevant parameters, e.g. temperature, humidity, and pressure, are controlled as necessary” In other words, it is a facility ordinarily utilized for industrial production or scientific research. They are designed to maintain extremely low levels of particulates such as dust, airborne organisms or vaporized particles, keeping products and technology safe. Cleanrooms are therefore not only used for packaging purposes.

Six steps to create high quality big bags. This guarantees that all FIBCs are versatile, flexible and most of all: safe to use, in every environment. FIBCs are known to carry all kinds of products—from heavy metals to delicate pharmaceutical products. This means that the bags have to be versatile, flexible and most of all: safe to use, in every environment. It all starts with a manufacturing process that is aimed at creating high-quality Bulk Bags, using only the best materials and safest techniques. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps our manufacturing partners go through to create your FIBCs. STEP 1: SELECTING AND PREPPING THE MATERIAL First up is the selection of the appropriate material. This is where our manufacturing partners start determining the type of polypropylene they will use for the production of their Bulk Bags. They will also confirm the source of the polypropylene, to make sure they are getting the best quality. Once the material has been selected, the next step in the manufacturing process is to get it ready for use. This involves an extrusion process, in which the raw material

To implement Modified Atmosphere you must find out what type of MA is best for your product and how to change your production process. For that you need a reliable supplier. If you have been thinking about investing in Modified Atmosphere Packaging for a while, there’s a lot to take into account. Finding a reliable supplier and partner, making the necessary changes in the production line and figuring out what MA is perfect for your product. Competitive advantages of MA What’s good for your products and for consumers, is good for your business. Here’s some of the advantages MA will give you. * You can offer organic products that aren’t treated with chemicals, which are in high demand * You’ll get more control over your supply chain, meaning you can allocate resources better * You can expand your market, thanks to longer shelf lives * You save money on expensive chemicals * You become a sustainable partner — and they’re getting more popular by the minute Before implementing MAP The success of your Modified Atmosphere Packaging highly depends on who you choose to work with. Go for an experienced partner who is

Masterpacks innovations have allowed us to create Modified Atmospheres in FIBCs. This elongates shelf life, fights pests and contamination, and creates safer bags for food and pharmaceuticals. While markets such as the food sector are ever-evolving, there’s one industry that has to keep up (or even try to be ahead): the packaging industry. Products develop, market needs change and global developments influence the need for different packaging solutions. Let’s look at how the FIBC industry and Masterpack specifically are adapting. Modified Atmosphere for FIBC`s How can we get a grip on the supply chain of perishable foods? How can we make sure it leaves the producer fresh and safely, and travels around the globe while maintaining its taste, color, and smell? And how can we do all this without the use of chemicals or harmful products? This is one of the biggest challenges in the global food market. But one we particularly like at Masterpack. Our innovations have allowed us to create Modified Atmospheres in FIBCs. This elongates shelf life, fights pests and contamination. All with just oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Safer bags for food and
