Food Packaging...

A HOT PROSPECT WITH COOL BENEFITS

Disposable food packaging is both hot and cold. If your company uses rigid plastic to package your products or you produce this packaging for other manufacturers, you can now make ovenable and microwavable packages with regular APET that beat CPET and polypropylene on price. Ask us how.

Additional benefits of cups, trays and clamshells made with expanded APET follow.

Easier to hold with hot liquids — Outstanding insulating capabilities keep hot or cold away from your fingers... as good as "double-cup" paper hot cups.
Stands up to cutlery — process naturally forms a solid outer layer that is cut and puncture resistant.
Won't crack and spill its contents — the material is flexible and will not break like conventional "foam" cups and clamshells.
Retains true food flavor — smooth solid surface provides a great barrier to prevent liquid leakage or transfer of off-flavors to food contents.
Attractive — high gloss surfaces give the package crisp and clean appearance on the inside, while the outside is perfect printing sharp, full-coverage, 4-color graphics (with your logo!)
Suitable for cooking and warming (oven or microwave) — high heat tolerance enables the packaging to withstand temperatures up to 400° F. for 30 minutes.
Seamless — less chance for leaks between cap and cup.
