Packaging
To KIN GmbH the selection of suitable packaging materials and the complete testing of packaging for their product-specific suitability has top priority. You can rely on our experience and our equipment when it comes to the selection and technical testing of packagings made from glass, plastics, tinplate, aluminum or cardboard composites. Added to this, there is the possibility of further tests to be performed in a laboratory associated with KIN.
There is a number of laboratory scale packaging machines and pilot plants available in the Technical Center. Here packagings and packaging materials and systems can be tested for their suitability and use under conditions relevant in practice. This includes not only the packaging process itself but also cooking processes for example in order to test the behavior of packaging and material systems in a processing environment. We will also provide advice and assist you in the performing of packaging tests in your own company.
