Kirigami
Paper Trays forming and Lining
Kirigami is the innovative G.Mondini solution for forming and lining paper trays using two separate pieces of cardboard, joined together without the need for glue. Thanks to this technology you can produce trays in paper in several formats directly in your site in complete autonomy.
Focus on Kirigami
The new smart generation
This new patented technology can manufacture paperboard-based trays starting from two separate pieces of board, combining them without the need for glue. The machine uses the inner thermoplastic film to bond the two components. One major advantage is that the flange is made from a single continuous piece, without sealing discontinuities or variable thickness, ensuring perfect leak-proof performance for MAP applications. With KIRIGAMI, you can expand the market for MAP and SKIN trays for chilled and fresh food using an innovative, sustainable cardboard-based packaging system that reduces plastic content by up to 90%.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES
With the KIRIGAMI machine you can obtain several solutions for flange design, the same as plastic trays and to use the same sealing tool for plastic and paper trays. Thanks to Modular Design it is possible to have several ranges of machines in order to satisfy your productivity from Entry level machine to high production range.
