ACS-SYSTEM: the new boundaries of sustainable packaging

19 octobre 2021 wp_ari Food, News, Packaging 15

Within the framework of an eco-logical plastic material management, Effegidi renews its commitment to the environment. In association with Geri Service we have developed a new film line, where our ever-greener soul expresses itself best.

We at Effegidi dedicate ourselves to the development of eco-friendly materials. And the goals we have achieved are also the fruits of our partnership with other leading companies: together, we create new solutions. ACS sinks its roots precisely in this context.

ACS-SYSTEM, the revolutionary food packaging

This patented air coating system stems from a Geri Service’s intuition, a company which works every day in the catering and ready meal industry. With its strong presence in Italy, Geri Service was the first to understand the need for a packaging which would allow the transpiration of the gases inside a vacuum-sealed ready meal, and which would be at the same time sustainable from both a hygienic and logistic point of view.

Our cooperation

We at Effegidi and Geri Service have teamed up, creating a specific solution for the packaging of prepared meals made in the cooking centres of collective catering services. In short, we have applied the state-of-the-art system for heat sealing films to the converting field.

Together with Geri Service, we at Effegidi have developed a dedicated product line: starting from the classical film currently used (in Pet/PP), it evolves in recyclable and biodegradable films. And we are looking forward to making them compostable as well. Always keeping in mind that we aim at the overall reduction in present-day thicknesses.

Ours is a winning partnership both for the technical aspect of the production of prepared meals and for the environmental sustainability. In fact, the plastic industry is always under the spotlight and constantly looking for real solutions which could improve the management and the appropriate use by all final users.

Its advantages

Air Coating System technical specifications allow degassing the vapour inside the meals/hot containers ready for consumption, thus preventing swelling without the puncture by an operator. This significantly reduces the possibility of external agent contamination, while ensuring a better food hygiene and safety: a key aspect for the pandemic era we are living in. Finally, eliminating the need for puncture in the closing cycle allows optimized processing and packaging times.

In other words, our system combines the indirect degassing, which prevents direct contact between food and the external environment, with the optimum logistics. Therefore, it minimizes the possible risks of contamination, and it doesn’t cause any swelling of the top covers of trays and Gastronorms. Last but not least, it allows keeping clean the containers intended for the transport of the meals themselves.

Giving the floor to our customers

Below you will find Mila’s – a client of ours – customer testimonial:

“We have been using the ACS film for 6 months now and we have solved all the issues related to swelling. The proper degassing optimises the packaging of cold ready meals too and, particularly for cheeses like Gorgonzola or very aged cheeses, the olfactory impact is greatly improved. As we all know, odours produced by prepared meals after their transport and once the traditional film removed are very “intrusive”. Instead, the ACS system provides a gradual degassing which makes every meal more pleasing”.

Our ambitious look

We at Effegidi have shared our expertise with Geri Service: our fields are very distant, our paths are so different from each other. Nonetheless, they can converge and lead to amazing results. Since we believe that “alone we go faster, together we go further”. And further is exactly where we want to go…

Put us to the test: tell us what type of container you use, and we will help you to make it safe!

If you want to find out more about our brand new ACS system, please write us (info@acs-system.it or https://www.effegidi.com/en/contacts/) to request our dedicated brochure!

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

A fresh look: Effegidi seen through Roberto Bianchi’s eyes

25 juin 2021 wp_ila Food, News, Packaging 23

One of our team’s latest “signings” tells us a story of first impression, winds of change and enthusiasm.

WHAT WAS YOUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE BEFORE “LANDING” AT EFFEGIDI?

I have been working in sales for more than 25 years, with extensive experience in the tourism, insurance, and food industries. In particular, the food field has always been a core part in my professional career.

I have mostly dedicated myself to export sales: at the beginning, I worked as an area manager, then achieving leading positions.

I knew the packaging field, even if not directly, but over the years the issues related to this business component have become increasingly prominent, an integral part for the success of every project.

So, when I had the opportunity to learn about Effegidi and to consider working with the company, I was glad to offer my contribution, fully aware of having still so much to learn.

HOW DID YOU JOIN EFFEGIDI? WHAT CONVINCED YOU TO START THIS NEW ADVENTURE?

A mutual acquaintance told me about Effegidi and about this engaging job, also in the terms of the promising prospects this company had and still has. As I said before, I believed that the experience I gained in the food industry would be valuable to both of us in this new professional adventure.

This was a mutual “bet”, and I think it will be rewarding and satisfying for all!

AFTER THIS INITIAL PERIOD IN THE COMPANY, WHAT ASPECTS IMPRESSED YOU THE MOST?

Effegidi works in a very fascinating industry, where the challenge is to blend in-depth knowledge with the cutting-edge technology and apply them to this field. It’s really inspiring! I strongly believe in this project, in the company and in the people who are part of it.

And, last but not least, the opportunity to fully tap the huge potential for improvement, at both a personal and corporate level. Even if we live in a competitive environment which affects all industries, I am confident that our commitment and dedication will allow us to reach even our most ambitious goals.

EFFEGIDI IS HEARTILY COMMITTED IN CREATING INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY. ACCORDING TO YOU WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTORS TO FOCUS ON?

Although I am new both to this field and in the company, in my latest work experiences I had a chance of studying and deeply understanding clients’ (from manufacturing through distribution to the consumer) point of view and attitude towards environmental friendliness, sustainability and recyclability.

Unfortunately, strict and rigorous rules are still missing. Thus, it is responsibility of the companies both directly engaged and indirectly involved in these topics to start thinking about the future and how to structure themselves to be ready for it. How to do this? By creating alternative products, enriching our company expertise with new production technology, while providing steady knowledge and consulting support. This is the challenge facing our company.

WHERE DO YOU SEE EFFEGIDI IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS?

It is difficult for me to make forecasts, since I am still a “newbie”. However, I think that everyone (including me) at Effegidi aims to make the company playing an increasingly critical role in its market, a leading figure for our clients, relentlessly providing reliability, practicality, quality, and support.

I trust I can contribute to it, as all my colleagues already do, to get our company to where it wants to be. Together.

Thank you, Roberto, for your eagerness and your wonderful food for thought. Welcome aboard Effegidi! We are ready to sail to new horizons with you…

Food Packaging: preserve cold cuts in the best way

30 novembre 2020 wp_franci Food, Packaging 32

Cold cuts are a delicate food with precise characteristics that the consumer expects to find in the product, at every moment of tasting.

In order for cured meats to remain fragrant as freshly sliced, good and not to lose their nutritional characteristics, it is necessary to identify the materials suitable for proper conservation.

Often some wrappers and traditional envelopes do not guarantee sufficient protection for suitable storage: instead, the packaging is required that can maintain the organoleptic properties of the food for as long as possible.

What are the characteristics that good packaging must guarantee to ensure good preservation of the cold cuts?

  • Protection of freshness
  • Extension of the shelf-life
  • Protection of health

It is very important that food packaging has characteristics capable of adapting to the packaged sliced ​​or cured meat: only in this way, with extreme customization of the material, is it possible to ensure that the product arrives intact until it is opened.

VACUUM STORAGE

As far as freshness-saving transparent films and films are concerned, they are suitable for the preservation of cold cuts under vacuum and are very performing packaging, capable of responding to all product protection needs.

Thanks to our experience in the laminate sector in the food sector, we are able to provide a product that preserves all the characteristics of food for longer than traditional food packaging.

 

PEELABLE FILMS FOR TRAYS

Our laminated films to be applied to the trays, being suitable for direct contact and heat-sealable, ensure maximum hygiene, and slow down the deterioration of the food, 100% protecting the health of the consumer.

In fact, in the packaging of cured meats, we offer packaging solutions that preserve the freshness and healthiness of the products without altering their characteristics.

Chocolate is one of the most requested products and it is possible to pack it in many variations that must have the aim of making the product recognizable and palatable, as well as, of course, preserving its intrinsic characteristics.

But what are the characteristics that make packaging for chocolate-based products and sweets successful?

  • Packaging must capture the consumer’s attention
  • Ensure hygiene and avoid the transmission of flavors or odors to the product
  • Protect the product throughout the supply chain and during use
  • Be easy to use

PRESERVE TASTE AND CHARACTERISTICS

Love for chocolate is a feeling that unites young and old and it is important that the chosen packaging preserves and leaves every feature of the product intact until opening, from shape to taste, from perfumes to aesthetics.
