EasyPack: A new idea in packaging

“Innovative products manufactured from state of the art production process implementation” describes perfect NGP PLASTIC new production plant in Corinth owned by Mr. Nikos Papadakis.

NGP PLASTIC Production plant modern premises in Corinth are equipped with the latest generation technology PET, PP, PLA multilayer, dual-color foil extrusion lines, thermoforming lines and a variety of further production phase special applications such as foil laminating in-line with extrusion, foil slitting & rewinding conversion lines, container 4-color printing lines, pluriball applicators, label & laser marking systems (barcode label, code no marking) etc.

NGP PLASTIC increased level of constant production innovation and technical know-how allow great flexibility in satisfying the most demanding customer needs. Usual customized applications being served are traceability (barcode labels or codification laser marking for customers that keep records of statistical process control), pluriball application, 4-color printing on lid, customized logo embossing, special colors or dual-color effect, thin film lamination (usually for welding the container with PE film for air sealing) etc.

The covered area of the production plant is 3.000 sqm within an area of 11.000 sqm in total. Thirty employees are working in the production and offices, specialized in the research, development and implementation of innovative fruit packaging product ideas, pioneers in the market evolution and ready to give solutions to customized needs of our business partners. The following Quality Management Systems are under development and implementation in NGP PLASTIC according to the respective international standards: Operation Management EN ISO 9001:2000, Enviromental Management EN ISO 14001:2004, Health & Safety ELOT 1801/OHSAS 18001, Food Packaging Safety Management EN ISO 22000:2005 (HACCP) and Certification BRC/IoP Packaging Standard.

Benefits of the Easypack range

- Design

The unique design of EasyPack line lid, bottom and side wall reinforcements allow a greater number of side openings on the lid and therefore improve the air circulation inside the packaging. The superior transparency of PET foil and the significantly more flat surface of side walls and lid that Easypack line products offer among all others in the market, contribute to the best exhibition of the packaged fruit or vegetable.

Moreover, they are completely ecological, water-clear but also available as half transparent – half opaque and are unique in their category due to their special design (under European Patent registration).

- Improved air circulation

The EasyPack line system allows increased air flow inside the packaging, thus guaranteeing improved packaged product conservation. Thanks to the special design, air inflow is assured even when these packaging units are stacked and therefore greater results in efficient cooling, drainage and condensation reduction are achieved. Thus fruit and vegetables maintain their best quality characteristics for a longer period.

- Supreme mechanical strengths

A connecting net of five different area reinforcements functions in EasyPack line products resulting in unbeatable mechanical strengths of this packaging to stable or periodical vertical and horizontal impact : multiple hard cylindrical segments on the lid are connected with peripheral solid blocks of the bottom, through side wall vertical reinforcements on the four corners, in combination with the specially designed stabilization means connecting the lid with the basket.

- 2 in 1 Product benefits

EasyPack line micro-packaging offers packaging standardization, practical stacking, permits automatization on packaging lines and most of all optimize transportation and stocking costs.

- An Exclusive patent

The EasyPack line system is an exclusive NGP PLASTIC European patent. The several advantages this solution provides are mainly attributed to the increased number of various reinforcement factors that cooperate so as to obtain a solid and compact packaging unit, with supreme resistance to vertical and horizontal impact force

- Easy to use – Tight lock

Thanks to EasyPack line products consistency, the lid is very easily applied on the basket. In addition, in EasyPack products lid and basket lock tightly reassuring no intermediate contact of the packaged product from the producer to the final consumer. Both above characteristics also help eliminate the danger of product damage.

- Environmental protection

The disposal of products made from biodegradable polymers, such as PLA, creates no negative impact to the environment. The full chain break down of these polymers to simple hydrocarbons and water takes place in a few months.
