Next-generation recyclable snack pouches

Anyone who wants to see SÜDPACK’s new CarbonLite® film family live in action at FACHPACK 2025 should head to the SN booth – no. 1-317. Once again, the film specialist and the machine manufacturer are working hand in hand – demonstrating that mono-PE stand-up pouches with an integrated PE zipper can be produced efficiently on a standard horizontal pouch packaging machine, thanks to our many years of expertise. The best part? This practical and sturdy pouch making material requires no aluminum or metallization. 

SÜDPACK has combined and further developed the proven tubular pouch films from its premium Pure-Line under the new CarbonLite® brand. Designed to ensure a long shelf life and full enjoyment down to the very last crumb, these PE- and PP-based mono-materials can be equipped – just like conventional film structures – with the required oxygen and water vapor barriers, UV protection, and anti-fog features for packaging a wide variety of snacks, from nut mixes, grated cheese, and salami sticks to dog treats.

In terms of performance, this mono-material, which is generally more challenging to process, meets all expectations. As demonstrated live at FACHPACK, it can be processed smoothly on a standard packaging machine with consistent output and excellent process and packaging reliability. Its high thermal resistance also ensure secure sealing for opening aids and reclose systems. 

The stand-up pouches are produced on an FME 50 horizontal pouch packaging machine (HFFS) from SN Maschinenbau. This model is a simple, flexible, and powerful pouch packaging machine from the Economic Series. It is suitable for nearly all dry food applications and also impresses with easy operation and rapid, largely tool-free format changes in under 15 minutes. Another advantage is its compact design and small footprint.
