Service

The Fraunhofer AVV Dresden has specialized expertise to sealing processes, including upstream and downstream process steps and their influence on a qualitative and easy-to-open sealed seam.

With this outstanding expertise and know-how at European level, we will accompany you on a way to a safe, effective and consumer friendly packaging.

We will assist you in any questions regarding "Easy Opening":

• What do your customers require to easy open their packaging today and in the future?
• Which forces have to be applied on a tear tab (even under consideration of special requirements, e.g. use of gloves)?
• How can opening behaviour be influenced positively?
• Which packaging parameters are relevant for the opening process?
• Which tear tab size and shape is useful?
• Which seal seam geometry is most suitable for my aim?
• How can packaging concepts be evaluated on consumer friendliness (mechanical test, panel tests)? Which tests are reasonable?
• How the sealing process must be designed to ensure both a reliable closure and an easy to open peelable seam? Which control options are available?
• Which German/European standardization documents are relevant?

We also offer consulting and in-house-trainings.

You want to know, whether your packaging is easy to open?

We offer you:

• Determination of openign forces under realistic conditions by use of the standardized test method
• Evaluation of opening behaviour with regard to user friendliness.
