RPC Bebo Plastik has supplied a new custom-moulded multi-layer bowl for the range of one of Germany’s leading brands in ready-meals, Erasco.
According to the thermoformed packaging company, the new format is said to offer enhanced consumer convenience and microwaveability to match the demands of increasingly busy consumer lifestyles, and the product can be consumed straight from the container.
Fully retortable, the 113mm diameter tubs have a filling weight of 380g and are thermoformed in PP/EVOH/PP with the EVOH acting as an effective oxygen barrier to provide an ambient shelf life of 12 months.
The tubs are decorated with eye-catching thermo shrink sleeves that are cool to the touch after removal from the microwave.
And the complementary caps are manufactured using RPC Bebo’s advance Bebo Print facility, where the film is printed prior to thermoforming to create an all-over decorative effect across both the lid and its rim.
“We selected RPC Bebo for its reputation in multilayer sterilisable packaging and have been very pleased with the company’s contribution to this project,” says Kurt Ziegler, director R&D at Erasco brand owner Campbells Germany.
