LIDDING FILM · MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE

Lidding MAP.
Complete the
presentation.

Shrink lid for fresh meat and other chilled foods packed in a modified atmosphere.

The reference data sheet declares barrier, anti-fog, transparency and gloss properties. We start with the food, tray and packaging line to guide the selection.

SKIN FILM · SELECTION BY APPLICATION

Skin film.
Follows the shape.

Film for skin packaging projects involving meat, sausages, fish, seafood and prepared foods.

The film follows the product's contours on a compatible substrate. The material, seal and process are defined according to the food and packaging line.

REFERENCE STRUCTURE

Coextruded with EVOH

The general data sheet describes a film with EVOH and a PE or PE copolymer sealing layer. Compatibility is confirmed with each pack's substrate.

REFERENCE THICKNESSES

Indicative options to guide selection. The structure and thickness are confirmed for the specific item and conditions of use.

Indicative family data sheet: it does not identify a specific grade or substantiate MOLTHIS performance, testing or certifications. Specifications and food-contact documentation are reviewed for each application.

RECLOSABLE PACKAGING

Packaging designed to open again.

Explore opening and reclosure options for your product. Compare formats, define the user experience and prepare an evaluation with the details of your packaging line.

Opening and reclosing illustration. Performance is specified in the data sheet for each grade.

SMILE2LITE (S2L), developed by Smilesys, replaces a rigid lid with a flexible reclosable solution. This evolution of SMILE aims to reduce packaging material and weight. It supports recyclable paper bases and options including laser macro-perforation, dispensers and the Drop & Taste system.

Less material

Reduced plastic use when replacing a rigid lid.

Lower weight

A lighter pack.

Opening options

Opening options adapted to the project.

Paper bases

Compatibility with recyclable paper bases.

Open. Serve. Close again.

Opening the reclosable pack

Open

Open from the indicated area.

Taking a slice from the open pack

Serve

Take the portion you need.

Reclosing the pack by pressing the lid

Close

Reposition and press the closure.

Usage sequence: open, take a portion and close again. The configuration and instructions are defined for each pack.

RECLOSABLE FILM · 50–150 µm

Sealing to PE or PET, depending on the selected grade.

The offered range includes reclosable films from 50 to 150 µm, with options for sealing to PE or PET. Film structure, thickness and sealing conditions are selected for the pack and its application.

Other closure configurations

SMILE

A label-based closure for vertical and horizontal packs. Smilesys states more than 20 reclosures, barrier and modified-atmosphere options, and roll application without machine changes.

STRIP

A closure using a strip of the same material as the pack. PET/PET, OPP/OPP and PE/PE configurations, without an additional label or silicone-coated paper.

From product to packaging solution

The Smilesys range covers categories including dairy, pasta, dried fruit and nuts, bakery, confectionery, frozen food, ready meals and fresh produce. The system should be selected for each application.

Frequently asked questions

Do all systems offer the same performance?

No. Each proposal should specify its structure, format and conditions of use. A single grade’s performance cannot automatically be applied to the entire range.

Does reclosing restore the original seal?

Reclosure should not be described as equivalent to the initial seal. Storage after opening must follow the product’s instructions and the pack’s validation.

How much material can be saved?

The calculation requires a comparison of the complete packaging weight for the same product, including the lid being removed. Request an evaluation for your format.

Is the complete pack recyclable?

The complete structure and the available collection route in the destination market must be checked. A recyclable base alone does not establish that the entire pack is recyclable.

Which product would you like to make reclosable?

Specify the food or product, pack dimensions, existing material, machine model and storage conditions. If you want to replace a rigid lid, include the weight of the complete pack and a sample of the current format.

This information provides a starting point for opening, reclosure, sealing and line trials before the commercial specification is finalized.

SMILE, SMILE2LITE and STRIP are Smilesys solution names. Manufacturer reference information; the selected configuration is subject to technical evaluation.

The final selection requires validation of the film and seal under actual packaging conditions. Food-contact requirements are reviewed against the relevant declaration of compliance.
