The New Improvements in Thermoforming and Tray Sealing Films for Food Trays and Containers

Tray sealing films have undergone significant improvements over time to meet the modern needs of the food industry and other sectors.

New Materials

The development of advanced polymer materials provides better resistance to temperature, moisture, and mechanical stress. Additionally, special coatings improve the adhesion of the film and resistance to gas and vapor permeability.

Sealing Techniques

Improvements in thermoforming and sealing methods offer better and more secure sealing, reducing the risk of leaks and contamination. At the same time, the addition of advanced automated sealing systems speeds up the process and reduces human errors.

Functionality

The development of films with integrated antimicrobial properties results in better food protection. Also, easy-open films ensure usability without compromising the safety and effectiveness of sealing the contents.

Environmental Sustainability

The use of recyclable and biodegradable materials significantly reduces the environmental footprint. Moreover, the production of thinner films maintains strength and protection while simultaneously reducing the use of raw plastic materials.

Safety and Certification

The films meet food safety standards, such as the regulations of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).

Special Applications

The development of specialized films for different applications, such as frozen foods, fresh meats, poultry and fish, cold cuts and meat products, cheeses and dairy products in general, ready meals, pharmaceuticals, and industrial goods, opens new avenues for market expansion.

The aforementioned improvements aim to increase the shelf life of products, improve quality and safety, and reduce environmental impact. With continuous research and development, these films are expected to become even more effective and environmentally friendly in the future.
