MULTIVAC Introduces Full Wrap Labelling Solution for Pizzas

The company has recently launched a full wrap labelling suited for pizzas, tortillas, pitta breads, quiches, tart bases, and other flat products: The L 310 full wrap conveyor belt labeller. According to a press release, this model makes the C labelling and D labelling of packs possible at speeds up to 120 packs per minute. The label width is up to a maximum of 500 mm. The labeller can also be equipped with an integrated printer, as well as a zero downtime function and label or print monitoring for maximum output, efficiency and process reliability at even the highest throughput.

In addition to PP and PET labels, the range also includes sustainable materials made of paper or from renewable sources. “By matching the label material to the packaging material, we can ensure that the constituent parts of the pack can be separated to meet the recycling requirements. Adhesives, which can be dissolved or washed off, enable the individual packaging components to be easily separated, so that they can then be directed to the particular recycling stream,” explains Michael Reffke, product manager at MULTIVAC Marking & Inspection.

The concept also contributes to improving the CO2 balance, since the transport weight of the packs is reduced along the entire supply chain to the consumer. “If full wrap labels are used instead of cardboard sleeves, the weight of the banderole can be halved,” adds Michael Reffke. “A full wrap label instead of a standard-size pizza box saves over 65 grams of pack weight. Also not to be ignored for the producer are the savings in terms of license charges for the collection and disposal or recycling of the retail packs,” concluded Reffke.
