France launches new miniature packaging technology

The innovation of French EURACLI in the field of miniature packaging is the La Sommelière label. The LaSommelière label is affixed to the wine bottle and a temperature of the wine in the bottle is indicated by a drop of variable-temperature thermal “ink”. The formula for "ink" varies from product to product, green indicates the best temperature for tasting, blue indicates too high a temperature, and brown indicates too low a temperature.

Depending on the end-use, the EURACLI company developed a miniature package series that can be a perfume, a cosmetically active ingredient, an antibacterial agent, a complex active ingredient or just a pigment. Using EURACLI's micro-encapsulation technology, liquids or solids can be packaged in capsules to protect the substance from the outside world. Microcapsules can range in size from 0.5-2000 microns. Capsule-encapsulated products can be released through the rupture of capsules, and can also be gradually released through the membrane that penetrates the capsules.

In the field of printing, micro-encapsulated capsules can release fragrances to achieve odor exchange. Advertisements, direct-input advertisements, catalogues or inserts, packages, and labels in magazines can all have a constant fragrance according to the designer's imagination. In the textile field, microcapsules can encapsulate perfume for silk fabrics. Underwear, packaging ribbons, stickers, bedding, so that these products have a refreshing fragrance. By using microencapsulated active ingredients, vitamins, pigments, and essential oils of drugs, products that release related substances when used can be manufactured. They can also be used in creams, creams, shampoos, lotions, soaps, and toothpastes of beauty products. .

Using liquid crystal and thermal chromium micro encapsulated capsules, it is possible to produce products that change color with changes in temperature. In the field of printing, this technology can be applied to the manufacture of markings, thermometers, and thermal labels. In the textile field, it can be applied to shirts and bathing suits. In the beauty field, liquid crystals can be used to make vitamins as encapsulation carriers. EURACLI's miniature capsules are used for a variety of purposes, and the company is working with industry to continuously develop new products.
