Coveris has introduced a new resealable mono-material tray for refrigerated food applications, designed to replace non-recyclable, mixed-material packaging while ensuring extended shelf life and consumer convenience.
Coveris says its MonoFlexBP tray has an advanced resealing system that allows the tray to be reclosed multiple times, helping to reduce food waste and improve user experience. The tray is said to offer ‘excellent’ sealing performance and ensures reliable re-sealability for multiple uses.
Its user-friendly opening and reclosure system aims to provide everyday convenience and support food waste reduction by keeping products fresher for longer. The trays are compatible with existing packaging machinery, ensuring ‘seamless’ integration for manufacturers.
The solution is ideally suited for processed meats, sausages, dairy products, cheese, and other chilled or refrigerated items. It is available with a high gas barrier to preserve product freshness and integrity. For added visual appeal and branding flexibility, the trays can be printed using gravure or flexographic methods and are also available with a matt or paper-effect lacquer finish.
Last month the company launched its MonoFlex Thermoform film packaging for tortilla wraps, a mono-material solution designed to replace non-recyclable, mixed material thermoforming substrates while maintaining a long shelf life. Apparently, the film allows a ‘seamless’ switch on the packing lines from alternative substrates, maintaining compatibility with existing packing lines without compromising packaging speeds.
In related news, Blossom Hill has adopted a fibre-based, linerless packaging format for its apricots – said to be a fully recyclable, PFAS-free alternative to plastic clamshells and backing paper. The TrayCycle trays are designed to balance environmental benefits with functionality and shelf appeal, targeting fresh produce, prepared foods and foodservice meals.
