GERMAN film manufacturer SÜDPACK is gearing up for Packaging Innovations in Birmingham next month, with a line-up that will include the company’s latest generation of pouch films.
The CarbonLite product family is comprised of versatile film products that are suitable for a wide range of applications. They can be utilised as PE flow packs for cuts of cheese, grated cheese, mozzarella or garlic bread; as PP doypacks for snacks; as PP or PE block-bottom pouches for coffee and tea; or as PP spouted pouches for fruit purées. Fresh ground meat can also be packaged in these pouch formats.
SÜDPACK said that, compared to conventional multilayer laminates or heavier tray packaging, these films offer ‘maximum product protection with minimal material input, over 90% recyclability, and a significantly reduced carbon footprint across the entire supply chain’.
For premium cuts and products with bones or sharp edges – such as T-bone steaks, lamb racks or seafood – SÜDPACK will put the spotlight on its latest range of skin films. These highly transparent films are designed to help extend the shelf life of delicate, high-value food products and can be sealed to PP, PE, and PET films.
Now in its third generation of family ownership, SÜDPACK revealed it has become a driving force for circularity in the European plastics and packaging industry. Investments in both mechanical and chemical recycling – reinforced by pilot projects and active political engagement – are said to have further strengthened the firm’s reputation, which was again recognised in 2025 with a Platinum rating from EcoVadis.
The business has also developed sustainable SPQ printing technology. According to an LCA study conducted by SÜDPACK in collaboration with Sphera last year, switching to SPQ for packaging printing can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 18% – whether using flexographic or rotogravure printing.
Visitors to Packaging Innovations are invited to stop by the SÜDPACK booth – whether they have a specific project in mind or are simply looking to learn more about the available solutions.
