Represented by Perfect Automation, Omori’s latest introduction to the Australian market is a reclosable packaging solution. The Omori Bellpack transforms traditional flow wrappers into an “advanced and eco-friendly solution”. The company says it enables significant cost savings and a substantial reduction in plastic usage, particularly for the deli meat and cheese sector. The company's solutions will be shown on Perfect Automation's stand, D110

Omori's reclosable packaging is aimed at creating a shift from traditional thermo packaging, and to play a role in reducing the product's environmental impact.

The packaging itself is tailored for tamper resistance and, Omori says, guarantees the longevity of the product within. Accompanied by a reclosable label, this packaging design enables consumers to preserve the freshness of the goods and prevent dehydration.

Omori says the Bellpack Flow Wrapper boasts the capability to incorporate ultrasonic sealing, ensuring optimal speeds while delivering the perfect seal for superior product protection. Perfect Automation will be conducting live demonstrations of the product at APPEX 2024, presenting the Reclose Bellpack with ultrasonics.

Some of the benefits Omori highlights include:

  • Plastic reduction, achieving a 50% plastic reduction compared to classic thermo packs
  • Protection against product dehydration even after reuse
  • Extended shelf life with rest oxygen of 0.3% achieved
  • Less energy consumption
  • Cost neutral transition with life saving benefits
  • Reduced labour and maintenance costs

Food & Drink Business

A national network for young grape and wine professionals has been launched, set to foster the next generation of winemakers, viticulturists, cellar door staff, wine judges and other roles in Australia’s wine sector.

A new bill was introduced to Parliament on 19 November, which offers a framework for regulating the sale or importation of organic goods in Australia, and stronger opportunities for exporting organic products.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
