European packaging producer Faerch Plast has developed a new Re-lock packaging tray with a re-closeable feature, as part of its ongoing strategy to increase focus on the chilled food and snacks market.
The new Re-lock tray has been produced using amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) and incorporates an integral peelable film instead of a separate or hinged lid.
According to the company, the tray is suitable for fruits, salads, dips and cold meats and enables consumers to view the contents inside.
The new range features three variations on the re-closeable film lid principal. Each of it has been designed to make it easier for consumers to peel back the film.
Re-lock is suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) sealing and is available in various tray shapes and sizes.
Consumers can re-close the product either by clicking a tab attached to the film into place or slipping a tab through a pre-cut opening in the packaging, depending on the type of closures used.
