Benefits of technology

The invention is a packaging facility that can produce folding packages with multiple receptacles. The facility includes a thermo-forming packaging machine with a folding device and a latching device that holds the package together in a folded state. The package can be closed and sealed with a top film without needing an additional label. The latching device can be adjusted to allow for manual reclosure of the package. The facility also includes a robot for transferring the package from the cutting station to a separation belt for further transport to subsequent work stations. This allows for automated and efficient production of folding packages.

Problems solved by technology

Manual folding and closing has proven to be disadvantageous.
A drawback of this is that the package comprises only a receptacle for receiving products and a label is required.
The labels often have the drawback that the adhesive force after opening and reclosing deteriorates, especially when stored in the refrigerator.
