Frequently asked questions
What is multi-layer packaging (MLP)?
MLP stands for multi-layer packaging. Two or more layers of product are positioned on a bottom film and sealed separately, so the individual layers can later be opened separately and removed in portions.
Which products is MLP suitable for?
MLP is ideal for sliced sausage, ham and cheese when portioned removal is wanted, for example for salami or cooked ham.
Which VARIOVAC machine offers multi-layer packaging?
MLP is possible on the Primus MP, the high-end version of the Primus. Its MLP system allows up to three product layers that can be sealed independently of one another.
How much packaging material does MLP save?
Compared with MAP packs, multi-layer packs are smaller. This produces up to 23 % less plastic waste and lowers shipping costs.
Which target groups is MLP particularly relevant for?
MLP enables individual portioning and reduces food waste. This is a strong argument for your customers in single-person and small households.
Do cold cuts stay fresh in multi-layer packaging?
Yes. As each layer is sealed separately, the remaining layers stay closed when one layer is opened. This helps keep the product fresh.
Which packaging methods are possible?
Depending on the model, sealing, vacuum, MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), skin, steam and shrink are possible. The Primus MP also supports multi-layer packaging (MLP).
