Pizza Packaging Solution

Kempner, a leader in shrink wrap packaging solutions, was approached by a renowned pizza brand looking to upgrade their packaging operation. After assessing their specific needs, we identified several areas where their existing operation could be improved to become more efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly.

Client Needs and Challenges

The pizza brand required a high-throughput shrink wrap packaging solution with the following criteria:

• Efficiency: Reducing manual handling in the packaging process to improve overall efficiency.
• Durability: Ensuring the packaging could withstand chilled and freezing temperatures during storage, transit, retail display, and in the consumer’s home.
• Environmental Friendliness: Adopting a more environmentally friendly packaging process.

Solution: Advanced Shrink Wrap Machinery and Film

After evaluating the pizza brand’s requirements, Kempner recommended a comprehensive solution involving advanced automated shrink wrap machinery and high-quality shrink wrap film.

Why Shrink Wrap is Ideal for Chilled and Frozen Pizzas

Shrink wrap is widely used in food manufacturing due to its numerous benefits:

• Protection: Shrink wrap forms an airtight seal around products, preventing oxygen from degrading the food and protecting it from contamination.
• Durability: It can withstand various temperature ranges, making it ideal for chilled and frozen pizzas.
• Efficiency: Modern shrink wrap machinery enhances the packaging process, reducing manual handling and increasing throughput.

Key Features of the Solution

• Automated Shrink Wrap Machinery: Our automated machinery offers significantly higher throughput rates compared to manual and semi-automatic machines. This reduces the need for manual handling and labour, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the shrink wrapping process.
• High-Quality Shrink Wrap Film: We recommended a film with excellent optical qualities to enhance shelf appeal, ensuring the pizzas looked attractive in their packaging. This film also needed to be durable enough to withstand freezing temperatures.

Implementation Process

The implementation of Kempner’s shrink wrap solution for the pizza brand involved several critical steps:

• Initial Assessment: Conducting a thorough analysis of the client’s existing packaging operation and identifying areas for improvement.
• Customisation: Adapting the shrink wrap machinery to meet the specific requirements of the chilled and frozen pizzas.
• Installation: Seamlessly installing the automated machinery with minimal disruption to the client’s ongoing operations.
• Training: Providing comprehensive training for the client’s staff to ensure efficient use and maintenance of the new equipment.
• Testing and Optimisation: Conducting rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and durability of the packaging.
