This  leading  exhibition  in  Cologne  (Germany),  covering  an area of around 127,000 square meters, will once again provide answers to all packaging issues  concerning  food  and  drink.  Apart  from  our  high-tech  equipment,  focus  at  the SEALPAC  stand  (B60/C61  in  hall  8.1)  will  be  on  the  latest  convenience  solutions  for ovenable and microwavable food products. Furthermore, we are proud to have won an international award for our EasyLid® system, which we will officially receive during the 
exhibition. 
 
SEALPAC wins International FoodTec Award 2015 
Even before the exhibition opened, SEALPAC already became the proud winner of an award from the organization. Our EasyLid® system has been announced as winner of the  International  FoodTec  Award  2015,  which  will  officially  be  handed  out  during  the exhibition. EasyLid® is an innovative seal & lid on one solution, which provides full lid  functionality in just one single step. As such, it requires less consumables and provides more efficiency in production. Supported by the German Agricultural Society (DLG), the  award  is  handed  out  every  three  years  to  innovative  projects  within  the international food  industry  „We  are  especially  proud  to  be  one  of  the  gold  medallists  for  the  International  FoodTec  Award  2015.  This  award  is  a  valuable  confirmation  of  our development work, especially in designing more sustainable packaging solutions whilst maintaining  their  functionality“,  as  Marcel  Veenstra,  Marketing  &  Communications Manager at Sealpac International, explains. All award winners will be presented at the 
DLG stand in hall 5.  
 
Supermarket of innovations – your shop for international trends 
At the SEALPAC stand you are already able to see what the industry can expect in the near  future.  Our  ’Supermarket  of  innovations‘  offers  a  comprehensive  insight  into  the very latest trends that are anticipated in the international marketplace. In a realistic retail environment, we will showcase exclusive packaging innovations from around the world,  all produced on SEALPAC traysealers and thermoformers. This will allow our visitors to personally  experience  the  quality,  functionality  and  looks  of  different  packaging  solutions,  as  well  as  get  inspired  by  their  unique  and  effective  presentation  at  retail.
 
Going  one  step  further,  in  a  special  section  of  its  supermarket,  SEALPAC  will  be showing 3D models that will give visitors an idea of the packaging systems of the future. 
 
Ovenable and microwavable solutions – fast, hot and high quality 
In its ’Smart Packaging Inspirations’ area, SEALPAC will also present the latest trends in ovenable and microwavable packaging. The demand for these convenience products,  which  save  time  and provide  practical  handling,  continues to  grow.  Modern  solutions, that allow you to place the product in its packaging directly in the oven or microwave,  are on the rise. A variety of film and valve solutions, combined with our latest packaging technology,  for  example,  allow  for  gentle  steam  cooking  or  grilling  directly  inside  the  pack. Modern technology and innovative materials have allowed the sector to develop packaging   systems   that   meet   highest   standards   with   regard   to   the   taste   and  appearance  of  convenience  products.  In  the  catering  area  at  the  SEALPAC  stand, visitors can gain an impression of the many possibilities.
