Americas: Placon introduces food containers using recycled material, tamper-evident design for fresh food

Placon has introduced tamper-evident, eco-responsible Crystal Seal reFresh thermoformed plastic food packaging, which eliminates unnecessary sidewall ribbing for visual appeal with versatility in fresh, cold and dry food merchandising.

The reFresh product line features eight sizes and shapes that can be used in various configurations with multiple combinations of food for complete versatility in merchandising.

The packaging offers unobstructed views of the product, material that reduces environmental waste, a hinge that alerts if tampering has occurred, a leak-resistant design, tight seals and tabs that are made for easy opening and closing by consumers.

The recycled polyethylene terephthlate (PET) containers was created with maximized structural integrity of the packaging while ensuring ribbing was kept to a bare minimum, creating a more “invisible” package that puts food freshness and presentation front and center.

The FDA food-grade, 100% recyclable line of plastic food containers includes portion-sized, multi-compartment packaging along with containers perfect for half sandwiches, hoagies and pre-packaged fresh meals.

They are manufactured from curbside collected plastic bottles and thermoforms containing up to 100% post-consumer content.

In addition to the reFresh containers, Placon has also launched nine sizes of packaging, adding on to its Crystal Seal Hinged Deli, Tamper-Evident and Fresh ‘n Clear Catering lines.
