New ecologic look for bread, cookies and pasta

GENERAL PLASTICS, the European N.1 specialists in tying ribbons for bag-closing, have just presented at IPACK-IMA 2003 a remarkable novelty which completes their wide range: the long awaited Tiefix-2Ki paper twist-tie.

Tiefix-2Ki looks similar to the well known plastic twist-tie ribbon, but is covered with reinforced paper instead, so becoming the only 100% biodegradable hermetic reusable closure for food bags.

Tiefix-2Ki’s components, paper and iron wire, degrade completely at the end of their life and go back into the natural life-round. A new high-strength special paper makes it suitable for every automatic or semiautomatic tyer. The new ribbon is wound in spoolless rolls, so that you only buy precious tying material and don’t waste money in expensive and unnecessary spools and the relative cost for disposing of. Its precision-winding allows to a continuous supply of ribbon with no jams.

Tiefix-2Ki is an answer to the increasing demand for natural looks and environment-friendly packaging coming from European bakeries and food companies, who can now line up with the long-established North-American habit of tying bags with paper twist-ties.
Last but not least, Tiefix-2Ki is much cheaper than plastic-covered ties!
