A new range of dual-colour polyethylene terephthalate (PET) food trays from Faerch Plast is aimed primarily at the premium convenience food market, and oven to table lines in particular.
Developed by Faerch Plast’s dedicated in-house design department, the new trays feature different colours on the outside and inside, offering a major point of difference to food retailers and manufacturers, as well as enhanced on-shelf impact.
Produced from either crystalline PET (CPET) or amorphous PET (APET), the new packs are available in a variety of sizes, styles and dual colour combinations.
In addition to standard colours, Faerch Plast can also develop bespoke colour combinations for special promotions or added individuality.
“Food companies spend millions of pounds on new product development, so it is vital that packaging reflects that investment and helps ensure their lines stand out from the crowd,” says Joe Iannidinardo, MD of Faerch Plast’s UK operation.
The new dual colour containers are, Iannidinardo adds: “Functional, aesthetically pleasing and will definitely enhance a product’s wow-factor.”
Faerch Plast’s CPET trays feature dual ovenability and a wide temperature tolerance from -4°F (-20°C) degrees to 430°F (220°C) degrees, for freezer-to-oven or microwave convenience.
“A top layer of co-extruded APET gives this type of packaging extremely good sealing properties and a superb glossy appearance,” the company says.
