Pack Studios Tarragona 360 Tour

Tarragona 360º

We know there's nothing like seeing Pack Studios facilities in action, which is why we've created Tarragona 360º. Developed to allow you to explore our newest center from the comfort of your own space.

In our new Film Innovation Center, Pack Studios Tarragona offers a broad range of lab- and industrial-scale blown and cast lines, from 5 layer to 9 layer extrusion, to enable production and testing of different films from industrial to barrier food packaging films.

Meanwhile, the new Load Stability Innovation Center at Tarragona supports the development of new pallet unitization film solutions which are designed to improve safety, minimize waste and reduce costs. Thanks to the latest technologies, such as an extensive array of blown and cast film multilayer extrusion equipment, a state-of-the-art pallet wrapping line, a cutting-edge horizontal stability tester and a modern tilting table system, value chain partners can rapidly conceptualize and develop prototypes, test solutions, access expert knowledge, and accelerate their innovation processes.

Feel free to explore these in more detail below as well as find out more about what else Pack Studios Tarragona has to offer.

Building the circular economy step-by-step

Five companies – HP Indigo, Dow, Reifenhaeuser, Cadel and Karlville – worked together to explore whether one pouch could be recycled into another high-quality pouch application.

Lab scale film production

Our impressive range of cast and blown film extrusion lines enable lab scale film production, testing and prototyping. The centerpieces of our lab scale film innovation center are our Collin blown 9 layer and cast 5 layer lines, which can be coupled with a versatile MDO unit to test mono-material formats designed for recyclability. And the scope of our testing activities covers not only special barrier and oriented films, but also stretch and breathable backsheet films, helping you to create packaging of the future.

Extensive testing environment

Once the films are produced on a small scale we evaluate their properties in our extensive film testing laboratories, with over 20,000 tests being conducted by the Pack Studios Tarragona lab team every year.

Common procedures involve abuse testing tear and puncture properties, dart impact strength, moisture and oxygen barrier testing, sealing and hot tack properties analysis, and much more.

Industrial scale extrusion lines

Helping you to create the next generation of recyclable and sustainable films, our Film Innovation Center offers a broad range of extrusion lines up to industrial scale; including a 5 layer blown film Macchi line, a 9 layer blown film W&H co-extrusion line and a 5 layer cast film Amut Dolci line.

These lines enable the efficient scale-up, production and testing of an array of films, from industrial and consumer packaging, to barrier and non-barrier lamination food packaging, to non-breathable backsheets and films for feminine hygiene applications.

We also frequently use our Covex mono-layer line to validate new developments for the circular economy.
