UK-based Linpac Packaging is all set to add new portion packs to its LeanBake bakery packaging range later in 2014 for the sweet confectionery food to go market.
According to the company, the new LeanBake portion packs include lightweight bases and lids, and sit alongside its recently launched Freshware range.
Said to be suitable for individual cake or pastry slices, muffins, tarts, choux buns and donuts, the packs are available in both single and twin food portion formats in varying sizes and colors.
The company claims that the new range offers low carbon packaging solution for retailers and bakers.
Linpac Packaging innovation director Alan Davey said the company supplies packs with convenience in mind for a variety of foods packers and retailers, as well as foodservice operators.
"Individual portion packs are becoming increasingly common on supermarket shelves across all sectors as retailers and manufacturers respond to trends such as the rise in single-person households, increasing health awareness, on the go consumption and the need to reduce food waste," Davey added.
The design of the bakery portion packs enables the containers to be lighter compared to the company's previous designs and will not affect the rigidity and protective qualities of the pack. During trasnporation, bakery items are protected.
LeanBake design also ensures visibility associated with PET which is required for bakery products to lure consumers.
The complete LeanBake bakery packaging range, including hinged hermetic and semi-hermetic boxes, is available in a range of sizes that are suitable for croissants, Danish pastries, tarts and muffins.
