High-Performance Q-Top Universal 101 PET23

The film is manufactured using Q-Top Universal 101 PET23, a strong coated polyester film engineered primarily for pressed-board trays.

Its low-temperature melt coating, excellent slip properties and short sealing-window capability help provide a secure and reliable peelable seal when used with compatible trays and correctly configured sealing equipment.

Material Compatibility

The film can seal to various compatible materials, including:

• Pressed board
• APET
• CPET
• PVC
• PP
• PE and HDPE
• PS
• ABS
• Aluminium
• Coated and uncoated paper
• Unglazed pottery
• Glass

Compatibility and sealing performance can vary according to the tray coating, material composition, machine, pressure, temperature and dwell time. Testing is therefore essential before full production.

Recommended Sealing Guidelines

The following settings are provided as a starting point:

• Temperature: 180–200°C
• Dwell time: 1–5+ seconds, depending on the machine and tray
• Pressure: Approximately 5 bar

Settings may need to be adjusted to suit your tray material, sealing machine and production environment.

Important Heating Notice

This lidding film must be removed before placing the tray in an oven or microwave.

The film may be used to seal compatible ovenable or microwaveable trays, but the film itself is not intended to remain on the tray during heating.

Compatibility Notice

We strongly recommend testing the film with your trays and sealing equipment before placing a full order.

If you are using trays that were not supplied by SystemPAK, please contact us before ordering so we can review the application. We cannot accept responsibility for sealing performance when the film is used with untested trays or equipment outside our recommended range.

Quality and Compliance

The film is manufactured in line with recognised ISO and BRC food-industry standards. It contains 30% post-consumer recycled content and is suitable for use in chilled and frozen food-packaging applications.
