Top seal or heat sealing is probably the most common method of packaging and presenting food products.
The method comprises the use of a base container and a compatible lidding film which is applied to the former by means of a ‘Heat Sealing Machine’ . The use of a relatively thin and inexpensive film obviously does away with the need for a much more expensive ‘pre-formed lid’ and most importantly it ensures a 100% leak proof seal which is not guaranteed by the former!
The containers are available in a multitude of different materials such as Plastic, Aluminium , Eco friendly and Compostable, to suit both the product and it’s means of presentation .
A number of other benefits include :
- APet, for its highly transparent finish -most suitable for Salads, Greens and Fruit etc
- CPet, for it’s ability to be used in both microwaves and conventional ovens – most suitable for Ready Meals and Food on the Go
- Auminium, for its suitability to bake products in a conventional oven
- PP ( Polypropylene) for it’s ability to be used in Microwaves – most suitable for warming/cooking
- CA-Pet, is a cardboard container with a polyester lining providing similar properties to CPet except that it is a much more sustainable, eco friendly and recyclable
- CA-PLA is a cardboard container with a cellulose lining – which are reclyclable and totally compostable .Suitable for freezer, microwave and conventional oven
- Pulp containers – (to be introduced shortly) are made from biodegradable and renewable materials, and exhibit the following properties such as the ability to Microwave, Oven cook, freeze and are also recyclable
Altogether a complete system which answers every requirement!
