Food Packaging suitability

Verification of compatibility between packaging and product for materials intended to be in contact with food, in accordance with national and international regulations

  • Food contact suitability: global and specific migration, residual monomers and solvents.
  • Optimization of product shelf life
  • Permeability to steam, gases, odours and tastes
  • Impermeability to fats
  • Physical, mechanical and thermophysical properties

Packtec has developed expertise in healthcare packaging, to control all the required quality parameters and to verify the compliance of healthcare packaging with the regulations in force (European pharmacopoeia, American legislation, FDA, etc.).

It provides primary packaging manufacturers with technical assistance on Good Manufacturing Practices in accordance with ISO 15378.
