Faerch Plast and Colpac Develop New Ovenable Pack for Tesco Food-to-Go Range

Denmark based packaging solutions manufacturer Faerch Plast in partnership with US based food packaging products manufacturer Colpac has developed new packing design for the UK supermarket Tesco’s new food-to-go range.

Developed in cooperation with fresh prepared foods manufacturer Bakkavor, the C-VIS dual ovenable pack features Faerch Plast's CPET pot and Colpac-developed biodegradeable paperboard outer sleeve and lid.

Designed for convenience and ready meal products, the dual-ovenable pots offer six appetising meal options for the new Tesco food-to-go range which includes macaroni cheese, bolognese pasta, chicken tikka and rice, porridge, chicken jalfrezi and rice and BBQ pulled pork and rice.

The packs are film sealed and lidded upon filling, following which they will be distributed to Tesco retail outlets for in-store heating.

Upon purchasing, the consumer can remove the film and lid to eat the meal directly from pack, which also offers wide temperature tolerance from -4°F degrees to 430°F degrees.

In order to meet the Tesco requirements, the packs are litho printed using Colpac's specialist heat resistant inks and with bold graphics.

Originally developed in 2012 with a microwaveable option, the Colpac's C-VIS packaging solution is now developed in dual-ovenable version using Faerch Plast's CPET pot.

Faerch plast said that the new packaging solution features very thin inner and outer trays and paperboard or plastic lids which are fully recyclable.

Additionally, the C-VIS packaging uses approximately 30% less materials when compared to that of a standard CPET sleeved product.

Recently, Faerch plast said it has been granted European patent for its MAPET II mono material for packaging for fresh meat, poultry and fish.
