The CDM Sinuate is designed to make shoplifting difficult. The material is an industrially produced thin laminate with CDM properties that provides very strong sealing for packages, and makes it extremely difficult for a shoplifter to access the product. At the same time, it is easy for consumers to open the package after electric unlocking at the checkout. CDM is based on the electrical delamination of polymers.

One primary use for CDM Sinuate is blister or clamshell packages, which are typically used for packaging rather small but valuable products such as mobile phones, portable media players, computer supplies and other consumer electronics. In applications such as these, the transparent package must be protective and difficult to steal. This creates a problem for consumers since it can be extremely difficult to open the package after purchase. The CDM Sinuate provides a convenient and practical solution to this problem.

“The requirements for theft-protection and authenticity-control often collide with the consumer’s needs for packages that are easy to open and safe to handle. This creates a demand for new solutions such as the CDM Sinuate,” says Lars Sandberg, Manager CDM Solutions at Stora Enso. “Luxury packing is another area in which such advanced technology could be used to enhance the experience of opening the package and to underline the authenticity of the product. Apart from blister and clamshell packaging, the CDM Sinuate can also be used with other package types. The laminate can be heat-sealed using the normal sealing methods.”

In a consumer test carried out at an electronics store in Sweden, 98 percent of consumers found a CDM Sinuate blister package easy to open, while a normal blister package was found difficult to open even with the help of tools. The comments of the sales staff were equally positive. The package with CDM Sinuate offered effective theft protection and minimized product damage in store.
