Leading European packaging specialist KM Packaging Services Ltd has extended its range of market-leading lidding films with the launch of an innovative new resealing film, K Reseal, which can be opened and reclosed multiple times.
Compatible with Apet, Cpet and PE lined types of thermoformed trays, K Reseal is the ideal solution for convenience and chilled products with the added optional features of anti-fog, laser perforation and printability. As the lidding film can be perfectly resealed a multitude of times, it lends itself in particular to snacks, treats, salads and of course any sliced or diced produce such as fruit and vegetables that needs to be kept fresh despite repeat access to the packaging by the consumer.
The transparent lid is also printable, making it a more attractive solution for on shelf packaging as well as useful for providing information and reducing the need for additional external packaging. Significant packaging weight reduction is achieved when compared to traditional thermoformed clip on lids and up to 3000g of packed product can be stacked for distribution and retail.
K Reseal can of course be customised to a manufacturer’s requirements in terms of size, aperture, shape and added value features such as anti-fog or printing, and is compatible with all types of tray sealing machines, often with very little or no additional investment. Laser or macro hole perforation can also help to extend the shelf life of fresh produce, allowing it to continue to respire even as the trays are stacked for transport and display. Without the gas transition through the lid the produce would degrade considerably, shortening shelf-life and potentially resulting in costly waste.
KM Commercial Director Graham Holding explained: “Despite concerted efforts by the food industry to reduce waste, more than £10billion worth of food is thrown away in the UK alone every year - enough to fill a football stadium nine times over. A significant proportion of this is down to issues with shelf life and labelling, so any efforts to extend shelf life in the home and reduce waste should be applauded.
“K Reseal is the latest of our lidding innovations to offer manufacturers and retailers a consumer-friendly lidding solution that provides shoppers with easy repeat access to fresh produce over numerous occasions, without compromising shelf life. This means that food which might previously have dried out or gone off once opened has a better chance of being used up instead of being thrown out. It’s a really great innovation for producers of chilled and convenience foods and we’re seeing keen interest from our customers.”
