Which packing is the right one?
INTRAMA is a company with a 25-year experience in the production and business with flexible
packaging. We, as specialists in this field, will share with you how to be certain you use the right
flexible packaging.
Why? Because we are sure you have spent umpteen hours developing your product. From
the stage of initial study and experimenting to applying the last strokes on the already
developed product. Packaging comes afterwards and it is as important as finding the recipe,
which will help your product “conquer” the market with its taste qualities and impeccable
appearance.
Finding that recipe would be a waste of work if
your product is not packed in the right
packaging. We say “the right” since the
polymer packaging has many varieties
depending on the product to be packed, the
packaging technology, the storage
environment and the design. It can have
various thicknesses, barrier properties, structure,
colour and shape for packaging in a vacuum
or modified atmosphere. It is common to all
types of packaging they play an important role
in 2 aspects – first to protect the product
packed from the environmental impact;
second – to present the product and distinguish
it from the one of the competition.
Barrier packaging delays the flow of
biochemical processes by limiting the contact
of the packed product with oxygen, moisture
and odours. Expiry date is being extended this
way, freshness and taste qualities of the
product packed are preserved.

P. 3
Here we pay special attention to the packaging quality
as we advise you to make no compromises with it.
Because a compromise with the packaging quality is a
compromise with your product – the one you have
invested much resource in and have spent countless
hours for its development.
To be sure your product has been qualitatively packed, we recommend
you try to find the answers to the following questions:
Does the packaging meet the normative requirements of the following and national
regulations for plastic materials and articles intended to be in contact with food
products?
European Regulation 1935/2004 regarding the materials and objects meant to be in
contact with food products;
European Regulation 10/2011 regarding plastic materials and objects meant to be in
contact with food products;
European Regulation 282/2008 regarding materials and articles of recycled plastic meant
to be in contact with food products;
Ordinance №2 of 2008 regarding plastic materials and articles intended to be in contact
with food products.
A study on the Waste and Resources Action
Programmes (WRAP) shows that 65% of consumers have
exactly indicated the product quality, freshness and
type/odour as a main factor when making a purchase
decision. In other words, no matter how attractive the
packaging is, what makes consumers buy a certain
product over and over again is the product taste and
freshness where a high quality packaging has a
significant role in preserving it longer.
N E W S F R O M I N T R A M A
P. 4
The marketing role of packaging is the other important aspect. The attractive design
and colour layout undoubtedly have an impact on the decision for purchasing a certain
product. Today, on the increasingly competitive markets, the packaging is a mighty
instrument for expanding the brand’s awareness and differentiating the product. “Packaging
is a branding,” Mr. Gerstman, honorable chairman of one of the biggest world consulting
companies for branding strategies, says.
What are the production conditions where the packaging has been made? Does
the packaging supplier agree to be audited by you? Would he allow you to visit
his production base?
Do certified systems for quality and food safety management exist?
Has the packaging passed a migration test at an accredited laboratory? Are
there the values within the allowed limits (up to 60mg/kg = 10mg/dm2)?
Do the values and the composition of polymers listed in the packaging technical
specification correspond to the actual ones? Are there mechanisms for control
and traceability of the provided specifications been established?
Are there re-granulated polymers been embedded in the packaging (such that
may worsen the quality of the packed product)?
Is there a direct contact of the packed product with inks in case of a print
packaging?
We, the specialists in the packaging
industry, say:
“A product is recognized by the
package but is stored in consumers mind
based on the taste quality”. Therefore we
think the right packaging is a
combination of a packaging produced
with high quality materials to first of all
preserve the product taste and freshness
and a design, which successfully
contributes to the recognition of your
brand.

A Laboratory for Flexible Packaging INTRAMA
Thanks to its laboratory INTRAMA:
Exerts control and monitoring over production through daily tests and
analyses.
Analyses and further develops the company activities in the field of flexible
packaging. Information on how each new polymer influences the
characteristics and the properties of the multi-layer film is being extracted,
analysed and archived. New recipes insuring a better quality and
optimization of the production process are developed.
Among INTRAMA;s main priorities are continuous self-improvement and guarantees of a constant high
quality packaging production.
To control the quality of its production and carry out a regular development work, the company has
invested in its laboratory for analysis of flexible packaging. The laboratory has been equipped with a
high-end technology and specialized software, which allows a detailed research into the packaging material.

A precise measurement of the film
thickness and a mathematical calculation of
the standard deviation of the film thickness
(sigma – σ).
The values measured are noted in the film
technical specifications. Thus, INTRAMA
guarantees a full compliance between the
actual film condition and the one that has
been noted in its technical documentation.
A measurement of the static and
dynamic friction coefficient.
The analysis is made through a standard ASTM
D 1894 -14. It gives INTRAMA a great
advantage of the control over the friction
coefficient to the individual needs of every
customer. The various packaging technologies,
as well as the different materials in a direct
contact, have diverse requirements to this
coefficient. In some cases it is necessary the
film has a high friction coefficient to avoid its
slippage, in others – just the opposite effect
and low coefficient values are needed.
Different surfaces are analysed at the INTRAMA
laboratory, such as: PE to metal; PE to PE; PА to
PE; PA to PA and others. The friction coefficient
is a key indicator in the production of films for
packaging on flow-pack machines because of
the high speed of the packaging process. The
film for flow-pack should easily slip in touch with
a metal or some other material, i.e. should
have a low friction coefficient, so that a
trouble-free high-quality packaging is
achieved.
Some of the analyses made at the
laboratory of INTRAMA are:

Analysis of the structure and the
distribution of the polymers in the
multi-layer films.
A combined method for analysis is applied. It
includes the usage of a histological microtome
and polarizing microscope + specialized
software. INTRAMA controls and ensures the
distribution of polymers to pre-developed
recipes through this analysis. Thus, the quality
and the necessary properties of the film
supplied are steady.
A preliminary preparation of the sample is
needed for a better analysis. The thickness of
the sample analysed should not exceed 10µm.
Only then the light polarized gives a maximum
clarity and quality picture. This analysis is an
important part of the INTRAMA “toolbox”,
through which different suppliers’ packaging is
examined. This way, the company is fully aware
of the latest trends in the industry and the
structure of packaging materials on the market.
Analysis of the physical –
mechanical properties of the multi-
layer films.
This is an analysis for defining the strength,
the film stretchability and the rupture point.
The results are noted in the technical
documentation.
As a result of the everyday researches, analyses and tests, INTRAMA supplies consistent high-quality
films in full compliance with the indicators noted in the technical documentation. This way, every
producer, who uses INTRAMA films for packaging, can be sure his product has been protected at the maximum and packed in accordance with all national and European laws.
