Complete System for Packaging Water Soluble Food Packets Ready for Commercialization
Chicago, IL, USA - Cloud Packaging Systems (a Ryt-way Company) and MonoSol will have all their experts on hand to discuss a full system for packaging food products in edible, water soluble film packets at the Chicago PackExpo in October. The companies say all the pieces are now in place to commercially launch successful products in this new food delivery system.
Cloud and MonoSol have worked together for decades creating systems for water soluble packets. The latest development utilizes MonoSol's new Vivos(TM) Edible Delivery System featuring an edible, water soluble film. Pouches engineered from Vivos(TM) films disappear and release their contents when exposed to hot or cold liquids. The dissolved film can then be consumed along with the food.
Vivos(TM) film is composed of a proprietary blend of food grade ingredients. The film is transparent and has no smell or taste when consumed. It offers good oxygen barrier properties and has robust mechanical properties that enable real-world usage with a variety of food products and dry beverage mixes such as instant coffee and cocoa. Pouches can be formed using Cloud's Hydroforma packaging equipment.
Since MonoSol has been supplying non-edible water soluble films for use on the Hydroforma for decades, potential users of Vivos(TM) film can expect a rapid and successful development cycle in putting the new film into operation. Vivos(TM) was designed with specific characteristics to enable its use on the Hydroforma. It has already performed as well as its non-edible counterparts in trial runs at Cloud.
Food manufacturers are invited to visit booth number #S1266 at PackExpo to sample prototype food products in the new Vivos(TM) packets and to meet the team that can answer questions about a potential application. Call Mike Werner at +1-847-390-9410 (extension 697) to make a Pack Expo appointment.
