Designed as a replacement for plastic trays, the modified atmosphere packaging is capable of providing a shelf-life of at least 18 days.
The offering leverages AR Packaging’s expertise in barrier materials and pressed-board tray production.
Materials and technologies are leveraged from AR Packaging member companies CC Pack and Flextrus.
Board trays come with a lidding material that serves as a safety seal for the stored product. A specially designed barrier is also provided to fulfil specific packed-product requirements.
CC Pack managing director Åke Larsson said: “We have invested lots of effort to develop this new revolutionary packaging solution. The shape of the tray is optimised to ensure tight packs, which gives a shelf-life of at least 18 days. We thereby meet the needs for a wide range of chilled food products such as fresh meat and chicken, processed meat, cheese and ready meals.”
The pressed-board tray food concept aims to address the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions to store chilled food.
Manufactured with a high proportion of renewable materials, the concept also supports product branding for the client.
With 3,300 employees, AR Packaging has 19 factories across 11 countries. A&R Carton, Flextrus, CC Pack, SP Containers, and AR Packaging Digital are its member companies.
