What Are The Best Materials For Food Packaging?

When we talk about the most widely used material in food packaging, PET is probably the first one that comes to mind. Let's take a closer look.

Advantages of PET RIGID FILM

 

 

1.PET rigid film has high transparency, which, when highlighted by lighting in a shop window, makes the food inside the packaging appear even more appealing.

2.PET rigid film has good thermoforming properties, which can reduce energy consumption in the production process, reduce waste of scrap materials, improve production efficiency, and save costs.

3.PET rigid film has good rigidity, which can prevent scratches during transportation and is not easily crushed.

4.PET rigid film can come into direct contact with food.

5.PET rigid film can be recycled and reused, which not only protects the environment and conforms to the trend of sustainable development, but also reduces costs.

For packaging fruit and vegetable salads, we recommend using the APET anti-fog.

Because these foods need to be refrigerated in the freezer, when they are taken out of the freezer and brought to room temperature, the surface of the packaging box will fog up due to the increased temperature. APET can avoid this very well and still display the food well.

The size of some of our current applications:

Product Thickness Width
Fruit tray 0.33mm,0.52mm 610mm,660mm
Cake tray 0.30mm 540mm,690mm
Salad bowls 0.4-0.5mm 600mm

Advantages and Disadvantages of APET

1.Anti fog is crucial when transferring products from refrigerated storage (0-4 ° C) to a warm retail environment.
The condensed water inside the lid will reduce the visibility and freshness of the product within a few minutes.

Our PET can prevent fogging

2.But APET also has flaws.Anti-fog coatings can be sensitive to abrasion. If trays are stacked aggressively or transported loosely, performance may degrade.

PP rigid film is also currently used in the packaging industry.

1.First, PP has low material costs, which can reduce costs.

2.PP rigid film thermoformed boxes can be heated in a microwave oven, a feature not possible with other materials.

 

Therefore, if you require food packaging that offers high transparency, good thermoformability, and recyclability, please choose PET RIGID FILM.
