Linpac has worked with specialist films manufacturer Klöckner Pentaplast to create a resource efficient modified atmosphere pack (MAP) for fresh perishable food and liquids.
The design combines an APET++ rigid base web from Klöckner Pentaplast with a Linpac LINtop PET HB barrier lidding film to create an appealing, secure pack that enables a reduced time to market for packers and retailers.
Created to protect and preserve cured and cooked meat, cheese, fresh pasta, convenience food and liquids, and support a reduction in food waste, the mono PET pack features MAP technology and is fully recyclable.
Linpac said retailers can expect greater on shelf appeal due to the outstanding anti-fog and increased haze properties of LINtop PET HB, as well as enhanced and consistent burst peel performance for consumer convenience.
The base and lid combined present a lightweight, sustainable rigid pack solution that offers a high level of food safety and security throughout the supply chain; especially when the seal is compared to PE and PP sealant lidding film equivalents.
Packers can process the APET++ lightweight mono film – available with or without an EVOH barrier pack – at lower sealing temperatures and with a shorter seal time on thermoforming lines than comparable PET sealant base webs.
Erwan Cadoret, business manager barrier films at LINPAC, said: “We’re delighted with the result of our collaboration with the team at Klöckner Pentaplast. Our combined expertise has resulted in a high-performance, stand-out pack that meets our objective of delivering real cost-saving and efficiency benefits to our customers.”
