Years down, we are now associated to several well respected and esteemed organizations as a Strategic Business Partner by providing high quality labelling solutions for different packaging needs.
Labels
Wet strength
These labels are printed using flexography with facility of UV Varnish, Lamination, and Sheeting.
These labels are used for foods like ketchups & majorly by alcoholic beverage manufacturers due to its ability to withstand high moisturizing conditions, adaptability to run on high application speeds and being a cost effective solution.
Wet petfood
Pets: for us they are faithful companions, best friends and established members of many families. It’s impossible to imagine everyday life without them – and the same goes for mealtimes. When we eat, Rover or Fluffy should get something too. Ideally in the form of delicious and balanced pet food. And for that we need clever and practical packaging! Huhtamaki is working on the development of suitable products to ensure that wet foods are always perfectly off stored and can be fed fresh to our pets.
Opening new dimensions for pouches We are the market leader in this segment for retort pouches meant for single use and ready-to-eat pet food packaging. We provide high barrier laminates and pouches, in aluminium foil and non-foil transparent structures.
Terolen® is one of our great achievements and is successfully used in the pet food sector around the world. It allows straight and easy opening, so the consumer doesn´t need scissors and keeps the hands clean. What would your customers prefer?
Ice cream
Ice cream – a special kind of confectionery. It’s more than a product, it’s a temptation and it stirs emotions. Ice cream is sensual, sweet and sinful; it was even called “the food of the gods” by the Greeks. In the past it was primarily reserved for the higher echelons and was a real luxury food item. Nowadays it enjoys enormous popularity with people of all ages and has become an absolute lifestyle product around the world.
But – if it isn’t bought and consumed immediately - ice cream is also a sensitive food product which demands a lot of its packaging. If it isn’t kept frozen it melts very quickly – in the supermarket or at home it is thus essential to keep it in the freezer. So if you want to store it, it has to be perfectly packaged.
Our contribution to the market appearance of a tempting product To guarantee pure pleasure, when developing appropriate designs it is essential to ensure that the product will lose nothing in terms of flavour, consistency or shape during storage. At Huhtamaki we take these factors strictly into account and incorporate them into the manufacturing of the packaging. A large number of well designed products for sensitive food items originated with us:
Our aim is always to appropriately present the promise of enjoyment offered by ice cream; this can only be achieved when the packaged product is able to suggest the flavour that you get in an ice cream parlour. From design ideas to new packaging development and ready to market solutions, Huhtamaki is the perfect business partner. When would you like us to turn your project into reality?
In mould
In mould technology, the label is placed inside the container mould and while moulding, becomes the integral part of the wall thickness of the container, resulting in a no label look and a good scratch resistance.
This is a new technology which has gained prominence in segments like FMCG, Lubricants, Chemicals, etc. The technology increases the operational efficiency and reduces the inventory cost.
Shrink sleeves
Shrink sleeve labels are sleeves manufactured from polymer films which shrink and take the shape of the container on application of heat, providing a complete 360 degree coverage.
Shrink Sleeves as a labelling technology has become the most sought after decorating option due to its operational efficiency and ability to take complex container shapes. Shrink Sleeves has gained wide acceptance especially in industries like FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Industrial products, Food and Beverages, etc.

Heat transfer
Heat Transfer Technology is a unique process that impregnates a design onto a container to give it lifelong visibility. High end graphics printed using Gravure technology up to 8 colours could be transferred in one cycle, improvising the operational efficiency and reduces the inventory cost.
The decorative method has gained its popularity in products having bulk packs like Lubricants, paints, chemical etc.

Ready meals have to be affordable, simple and easy to prepare, be appetising and provide all of the important information at a glance.

How is the product prepared and what does it look like? Is it ready to eat?
