Nowaday, changing consumer behaviour and lifestyles means that the market for convenience foods is expanding rapidly. We provide a wide variety of packaging for ready meals, both as regards heating and preparation. These are usually made from CPET, PP and the High-barrier for ambient storage requirement.
Frozen / Chilled Ready Meal
in CPET
Due to its high-temperature stability, CPET is well-suited as packaging for ready meals, and can be taken directly from the freezer and heated in either a conventional oven or microwave oven. In addition, our CPET containers have a top layer of co-extruded APET, which gives this type of packaging extremely good sealing properties and a superb glossy appearance.
Frozen / Chilled Ready Meal
in PP
PP is produced in two varieties. Ho-PP is transparent and more rigid than Co-PP, which unlike Ho-PP is contact-clear, and has a softer and more impact resistant structure. The two types of material are used in different temperature ranges. Co-PP can be used below freezing point whereas Ho-PP is suitable for use to a minimum temperature of +2c. Both materials are suitable for heating food in microwave ovens.
