Packaging thermoformer Placon has introduced the new Crystal Seal Tamper-Evident plastic thermoformed food containers, which are 100% recyclable.
The new containers are offered in seven sizes ranging from 8oz to 64oz and have no removable byproducts or tear-away pieces.
According to the US-based company, the plastic containers reduce potential choking hazards and their double hinged design does away with the need for shrink bands or tamper-evident labels.
The offset, recessed cavity instructional tabs of the packaging are said to provide easy gripping and opening while the leak-resistant design ensures no messes or spills.
Placon Stock Products sales director Jeff Lucash said tamper-evident containers provide its customers and their consumers with a sense of security that their food has not been improperly tampered with after it was initially packed.
"In addition, we wanted to target the sustainability factor which is why the tamper-evident containers are produced from EcoStar RPET-F food-grade sheet manufactured with post-consumer recycled content from bottles and thermoforms," Lucash said.
Easy to separate by hand or through automation, the stackable containers have been designed for retailers, brand owners and food processors to display their food products such as sandwiches and salads, deli pasta salads, salsas, single serve desserts and dry packed foods.
