Packaging for liquid and wet foods
Liquid foods include all those that "can be pumped", i.e. drinks, dairy products, sauces or salad dressings. On top of this, there is a very wide range of wet foods such as pickled vegetables, purees, soups, spreads and much more. These are often perishable goods that have been preserved using a wide variety of processes. Packaging for liquid foods must support this shelf life and protect the contents from external influences such as UV light or oxygen. If the use of chemical preservatives is to be reduced or avoided completely, special attention must be paid to the type of sterilisation. Since sterilisation by heat (called pasteurisation) is usually not possible for plastic packaging, especially PET (maximum filling temperatures for PP approx. 95°C, for PE approx. 85°C and for PET approx. 45°C), processes such as HPP (High Pressure Processing) are being used more and more here. Packari offers a wide range of different accessories for this purpose: In our range you will find screw caps with sealing cone, EPE sealing insert or sealing membrane as well as special caps with tamper-evident protection. Degassing lids or sealing inner lids provide additional safety. Furthermore, dosing and discharge taps, oil spouts and caps with syringe inserts make it easier to remove the filling material. Packaging liquid food often also means creating a representative cover for a branded product. With a perfectly coordinated combination of material, shape and design, your product becomes an eye-catcher on the shelf. We would also be happy to advise you about label printing, labelling or printing!
AdvantagesDifferent package sizes
Whether you come from a single household or large family, Packari offers packaging for liquid food mostly in product groups – from small to large.
Sustainable
Where else, if not in the food sector, should special attention be paid to sustainability and environmental compatibility? Packari has the right materials (R-PET) and methods for this.
Representative design
Packaging is a brand ambassador. Material, appearance and feel allow customers to draw conclusions about the packaged product. At Packari, your product design can be perfectly transferred to any packaging.
Application examples
Sauerkraut, ketchup, mayo: Plastic buckets with lid
The white plastic buckets made of PP (polypropylene) can be used to safely and practically package thick or wet foods such as sauerkraut, potato salad, ketchup, mayonnaise or salad dressings. Since this food packaging is made of only one material, it is 100 percent recyclable.
PP is also popular for packaging liquid foods because it is not only food-safe but can also withstand relatively high temperatures (up to 95°C).
Plastic buckets from Packari are impressive thanks to their high stability values (do not stack when hot). These are particularly important when the packages are stacked and transported when filled.
Juices, mulled wine and similar products: Plastic canisters with lid
Plastic canisters are excellent for hot-filling food. This food packaging made of HD-PE (HD stands for "high density") is suitable for hot filling up to approx. 85 °C.
Our plastic canisters with lids are free of plasticisers and of course food-safe. We will be happy to provide you with a declaration of conformity upon request. They are available in volumes between three and 30 litres and in white and blue.
This packaging for liquid food also has special seals as well as a first-opening guarantee. We stock canisters with a 38 mm, DIN 51 and 76 mm diameter. Are you on the hunt for canisters with a DIN 61 diameter? Please ask us!
For straightforward dosing and draining of oils and other liquid foodstuffs, our canisters are also available with a drain tap. For these, the air supply to the canister is integrated in the outlet tap, meaning no second opening is required in the canister. These Aero-Flow outlet taps are available for both DIN 51 and 76 mm diameters.
Oils and vinegar: PET bottles with oil spout
For packaging oils and similar liquid foods, you can find recyclable PET bottles with a special edible oil cap with spout in the Packari Shop. This is screwed onto the bottle like a normal screw cap (PCO 28 diameter). To release the spout, the flip-top cap must first be opened and the tamper-evident ring removed (first-opening guarantee). Plastic slides incorporated in the spout are used to regulate the flow.
We offer these hygienic and safe food packaging with volumes between 60 ml and 1 litre. The PET bottles are highly transparent/clear, the spouts are available in green, red and white.
Please note: PET bottles may only be washed or filled at a maximum of 45 °C, otherwise they would become deformed! We can also supply many of these food packages from the Packari Shop in a light-protected version – dyed brown. Please simply get in touch with us for this!
