Ramping up resealable food packaging: Spool dispenser technology by tesa®

(If you’re still undecided, read why you ought to make the switch here, and why you should choose products by tesa® here.)

Not only is your business minimizing plastic waste by eliminating the need for additional storage bags, resealable packaging is more convenient for your customers compared to fixed solutions — it allows them to open and close pouches, pillow packs and so forth with ease.

Furthermore, consumers benefit from the fact that resealable packaging is generally more hygienic and less messy than fixed rivals, as food residue often spills onto kitchen countertops when transferring food from its original packet to a storage tub or additional plastic bag. That’s one reason why 81% of consumers prefer resealable food packaging solutions, according to studies[i], like single-sided bag sealing solution tesa® Lift & Reseal and our double-sided equivalents.

Food packaging machinery is diverse and made for a wide variety of foods and packet types — tesa® Lift & Reseal and our double-sided solutions are commonly applied to the likes of stabilo packs and easy-peel packaging, which are often used to contain snacks and confectionary. Whether for machinery that involves horizontal production or its vertical equivalent, technology by tesa® can meet both these needs. 

The spool dispenser and accompanying tape-guiding system can either be paired with a specific bag sealer or mounted on a dispenser rack independent of the bag sealer. If opting for the latter, a rack with wheels and brakes allows for both easy installation and the ability to remain firmly in position. It is easy to operate and requires little time to install — setup usually takes less than a day. For tesa® Lift & Reseal, fingerlift and print direction can be customized, ensuring that the instructions on the resealable tape are aligned with existing copy and artwork.

You can borrow a spool dispenser from us provided you use tesa® Lift & Reseal or one of our double-sided resealable packaging solutions. This saves you time as you don’t have to source a spooling solution yourself. Moreover, spool dispenser technology by tesa® can be configured with most food packaging machinery, further enhancing your production processes.

In fact, we recommend that all users of our resealable packaging solutions take advantage of this offer. Our spool dispenser technology ensures that our solutions are robustly applied to food packaging without errors, while integrating seamlessly with the production lines of our customers.
