Traditional Lavash, modern packaging innovation with TapeSeal

Customer profile

A leading bakery in Eastern Europe, specializing in traditional Lavash bread, wanted to modernize its packaging process. After purchasing a used Ilapak flowpack machine, the producer was looking for a cost-efficient way to improve consumer convenience and keep the bread fresher for longer after opening.

Together with Supertape, the bakery chose a resealable packaging solution with TapeSeal: a smart retrofit that makes existing equipment suitable for modern, resealable flowpack packaging.

Lavash challenge solution

The challenge

Lavash bread can dry out quickly after opening if the packaging cannot be properly resealed. The manufacturer therefore wanted to introduce reclosable packaging without investing in an entirely new packaging line.

The solution had to be easily integrated into the existing Ilapak flowpack machine while maintaining production speed, reliability and product quality. Food-safe materials and ease of use for the consumer were also important requirements.

The solution

Supertape developed a complete retrofit solution featuring a custom-made tape applicator and an integrated cutting unit. These components were seamlessly incorporated into the existing Ilapak flowpack machine.

During the packaging process, the food-safe TapeSeal is applied without tension after the packaging film has been cut. This ensures that the tape continues to function properly and allows the packaging to be opened and resealed multiple times with ease.

Because the standard flowpack process remains unchanged, the solution could be integrated without any loss of speed or production capacity.
