Linpac Gets Ready for the Barbecue Season

Linpac has designed the barbecue range with the environment in mind, as the full range is manufactured in recycled PET (rPET). The trays are available in clear or black.

1 May 2010 --- When the sun finally comes out over the spring and summer, there is nothing better than a barbecue.

‘Barbie’ lovers want their food fresh, tasty and ready to go straight on to the hot grill – free from damage on the journey home from the supermarket.

Whether sold separately, or in mixed containers, Linpac has the ideal solution for retailers and packers wishing to ensure their burgers, sausages, corn-on-the-cob, chicken or kebabs look appetising.

In anticipation of the season, Linpac Packaging has refreshed its range of trays dedicated to barbecues, and added several new products.

This year’s offering includes two new jumbo trays – one for sausages and a jumbo shingle burger tray suitable for 10 burgers. There are also two new meat ball trays for 25 or 20 balls.

Wherever possible the trays have been designed for more than one product, giving retailers and packers the flexibility in the mix of merchandise they can offer consumers. New models in the range include a tray suitable for 18 meatballs or two grill steaks, and another suitable for kebabs or burgers.

Linpac is aware of how important presentation is when it comes to displaying barbecue products in-store. Another innovative new product is the stepped burger tray, designed to give retailers the option of displaying it in a portrait format to save space on the shelf.

The trays, suitable for both MAP and overwrap applications, not only look good but also prevent the leakage of marinades and sauces. They are adaptable and can incorporate an integrated absorbent base to keep unsightly juices locked away.

Linpac has designed the barbecue range with the environment in mind, as the full range is manufactured in recycled PET (rPET). The trays are available in clear or black.

Linpac is unique in offering matching films – LINtop PE and LINtop PE HB – designed to be compatible with the trays, for optimum sealing.

Linpac’s barbecue range is available in a variety of sizes and depths, and is designed to allow the easy application of top and base labels.

Complementing the barbecue trays, Linpac has also launched its LINdis range of durable, disposable tableware. All products in the LINdis range are manufactured in laminated polystyrene – improving durability, hygiene and overall style. Their high-gloss finish makes them resistant to damage from contact with conventional cutlery and helps protect users from sauce or grease.

All Linpac’s products are available within excellent ex-factory delivery times, providing both security of supply and the ability to buy different volumes to satisfy various needs over an unpredictable summer period.
