From reducing operational costs to its environmentally-friendly process, solvent-less lamination continues to be a great fit for cheese packaging. Once reserved for only low-demand applications, solvent-less lamination has long since mainstreamed into a wider range of products such as foil applications, high-slip films, and high barrier films used in food applications like cheese. Reasons it works so well for the cheese applications is:
- No emissions and ovens
- Higher run speeds, therefore less energy expended
- Ability to run smaller quantities
- Lower total cost than other laminating methods
- A more consistent product because of the lack of gauge bands
Along with its eco-friendly process and lower total cost, solvent-less lamination is ideal for chunk cheese packaging because of its capabilities to protect the integrity of the product odor and moisture sensitivity.
