UK-based multi-material packaging manufacturer LINPAC Packaging has received patent rights for its new lightweight, mono-material tray for meat and poultry Rfresh Elite.
LINPAC Packaging innovation director Alan Davey said the company is dedicated to bring the new packaging technology with fresh thinking to its products and solutions, and also protect its intellectual property.
"We believe the Rfresh Elite range will have a big impact on the meat and poultry sector and the major retailers are very positive about the new range. In particular they like the fact that the new LINPAC patented technology will facilitate recycling and help them drive towards Courtauld Commitment targets and legislated UK packaging waste targets," Davey said.
The Rfresh Elite range of trays have a new sealant technology on the tray flange(rim) to create a secure seal with the lidding film, thus eliminating the industry standard laminated PE base film.
According to the company, the new trays have been developed in conjunction with LINPAC Packaging's lightweighting program which has been implemented to significantly reduce the overall weight and carbon footprint.
