White Cheese Packaging Machine
A white cheese packaging machine is an automatic line that places white cheese blocks or slices, with or without brine, into thermoformed packs and seals them leak-proof. The goal is to preserve the salt and moisture balance, prevent leaks and extend shelf life.
The challenges of packing white cheese
White cheese has a high moisture content and is often sold in brine. Liquid on the sealing area means a weak seal and leaks during transport. Its soft texture also has to be protected during packing.
Because the cavity is formed in the machine to fit the product, the cheese stays in place. Etrapack lines are designed to deliver leak-proof sealing for packs that contain liquid.
In brine, vacuum and MAP options
In brine packs the cheese is packed with its own liquid, preferred by producers who want to keep the traditional taste. Vacuum packs extend shelf life for brine-free blocks and save storage space. MAP keeps sliced and breakfast presentations looking fresh.

White cheese packaging with Etrapack
A stainless steel body, easy-to-clean surfaces and the drawer-type die system allow fast changes between pack sizes. The machines are CE-certified and built to ISO 9001 standards in Ikitelli, Istanbul.
How is white cheese packed on a thermoform line?
- The bottom film is heated and formed to fit the cheese block.
- Cheese is placed into the cavities; brine is dosed for brine packs.
- Vacuum is applied or a gas mix is added.
- The cavities are sealed leak-proof with the top film.
- Packs are cut and leave the line.

Can white cheese in brine be packed on a thermoform machine?
Yes. Etrapack lines are designed for leak-proof sealing of packs that contain liquid, so cheese can be packed with its brine.
Should white cheese be packed in brine or under vacuum?
Brine packs suit traditional taste and presentation; vacuum packs suit long storage and compact logistics. The choice depends on the sales channel and shelf-life target.
Can different pack weights run on the same machine?
Yes. Sizes change with the die, and Etrapack's drawer-type die system makes the change in minutes.
