FLEXIBLE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS
We develop flexible packaging solutions for candies and chocolates, featuring designs that protect product quality, preserve product properties, and offer visually appealing finishes.
Structures adapted for different formats and preservation needs
High-definition graphic solutions to enhance product presentation
Sustainable options using recyclable materials, single-material products, and materials reclaimed through mechanical and chemical processes
Technical support from the specification phase through production
In the confectionery and chocolate industries, packaging must help preserve attributes such as aroma, texture, appearance, and product quality. Packaging structures are designed to meet specific protection needs against external factors and ensure a consistent consumer experience.
Litoplas works with confectionery and chocolate companies in Colombia, Central America, and North America, creating flexible packaging solutions tailored to the technical requirements of each product.
In the confectionery and chocolate industries, packaging must help preserve the product’s aroma, texture, appearance, and quality. Packaging designs are created to meet specific protection needs against external factors and ensure a consistent consumer experience.
Nuts, chocolates, and snacks containing oils become rancid when oxygen comes into contact with the product’s lipids. The material’s OTR specification determines the product’s actual shelf life on the shelf, regardless of the printed expiration date.
Candy and confectionery are produced on high-speed lines that require materials with precise mechanical properties for flow-pack and twist packaging, without causing rejects or line stoppages.
In a category where the purchasing decision is heavily influenced by appearance, high-definition graphics and color accuracy are critical factors for differentiation at the point of sale.
Candy and chocolate products require packaging systems tailored to single-unit packaging, which operate at very high speeds and require materials with precise mechanical properties for flow-pack and twist-wrap packaging.
Single-unit flow-pack:
– Single-layer BOPP films or high-speed laminates for high-productivity flow-pack lines.
Single-unit twist packaging:
– PET films with twist capability for high-speed solutions for individual candies.
Secondary packaging:
– Conventional BOPP laminates or those optimized with Plaxi for added body and aesthetic appeal in assortment bags and bulk packaging.
We develop sustainable solutions for the confectionery and chocolate industry using recyclable materials, single-material structures, and materials reclaimed through mechanical and chemical processes, tailored to the technical requirements of each product.
Single-material with Plaxi HBStructures made entirely of high-performance polyethylene that are compatible with conventional mechanical recycling streams, without compromising barrier properties or print quality.
Recycled MaterialsSolutions that incorporate recycled materials through mechanical and chemical processes, moving toward a circular economy without compromising the technical performance of the packaging.
Thickness Reduction with PlaxiPlaxi technology makes it possible to reduce material thickness without compromising mechanical or optical properties, thereby lowering plastic consumption per packaged unit.
Yes. We work with various subcategories of confectionery, such as candies, chocolates, and cookies, developing packaging solutions tailored to the product’s characteristics and technical requirements. The process begins with an evaluation of the product and the available packaging line to define a validated technical proposal before moving to production.
Yes. We offer recyclable materials, single-material PE structures made with our Plaxi HB technology, and materials reclaimed through mechanical and chemical processes.
Plaxi technology is a proprietary optimization developed by Litoplas and applied to BOPP structures, which simultaneously improves the material’s body, optical properties, and moisture barrier properties.
In many cases, yes, especially on VFFS lines where the only adjustment required is the sealing temperature. For flowpack and wickett processes, a preliminary technical evaluation is essential.
