Mediterranean atmosphere: Tapas in plastic trays

Today's consumers are well-informed and well-traveled, and they no longer limit their evening meals to traditional dishes but also explore exotic options like tapas. Not only during dinner, but also at social gatherings, people want to serve something special. This trend has led to a growing demand for convenient and sustainable packaging solutions. For example, instead of slicing an entire fuet sausage and wasting food, consumers can now purchase pre-sliced portions in convenient plastic trays. These efficient and eco-friendly packages are processed on a JASA packaging machine.

Sustainable Snacking Convenience
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important for modern consumers. More than half of the Dutch population considers sustainability when making purchases, and in the food sector, this percentage exceeds 60%. Food waste is a significant concern as it imposes a heavy burden on the environment. Consequently, we are seeing more packaging available in various sizes, such as family packs and single-portion packages. Despite their busy lives, consumers still want to contribute to a sustainable world. This is where the convenience of JASA packaging machines comes into play, especially for tapas. These machines enable the packaging of tapas in different tray formats, helping to reduce food waste while saving consumers time.

Shelves Full of Tapas
Today's Dutch consumer opts for sustainability, convenience, and new flavors. Mediterranean delicacies such as olives, hummus, and paella have become the norm. Tapas have become an essential part of any gathering. Store shelves are filled with a variety of tapas products like stuffed dates, cheese cubes, and hummus, all efficiently packaged using JASA packaging lines. Whether it's a tray line or a specific packaging solution for tapas, JASA has the right machine.

The Packaging Solution for Tapas

At JASA, we don't just sell products; we offer packaging solutions. Whether it's for meal salads, tomatoes in shakers or tubs, or a combination of various tapas products in a single tray, JASA provides the perfect solution. We package tapas exactly as the customer desires: from round to oval trays, in various sizes. JASA packaging machines are designed to meet the specific needs of our customers.

Flexible Packaging Lines for Tomatoes and Tapas

JASA has extensive experience in filling trays and cups, as demonstrated by our work with tomato packaging lines. We have applied this expertise to the packaging of tapas. Tomatoes are often packaged in various formats, such as shakers and tubs, and this trend requires a flexible packaging system. JASA has developed an innovative transport system that is automatically adjustable and allows for easy nest head changes. This flexibility is also ideal for packaging tapas, where new trends are constantly emerging.

Challenges and Solutions in Tapas Packaging
Packaging tapas like marinated shrimp, bacon-wrapped dates, and sun-dried tomatoes requires more than just flexibility. These products are often oil-based and can stick to the machinery. Additionally, trays with multiple compartments for different products require special adaptations. At JASA, we have the expertise to successfully implement these complex packaging solutions. Our years of experience in precisely weighing and combining various small portions ensure that we can meet these challenges.

Automation in the Tapas Packaging World

One of the major advantages of JASA's packaging solutions is the full automation of the lines. This is particularly useful in tapas packaging, where a lot of manual labor is typically involved. Thanks to JASA's modular and proven solutions, we can deliver a complete packaging line where all components work seamlessly together. Whether it's specific weighers, an integrated JASA Sleever, or different types of trays and ingredients, JASA ensures an optimized packaging solution tailored to the customer's needs.
