Plastic Food Packaging
Plastic packaging ensures the freshness and hygiene of your food products
What is Plastic Food Packaging?
Plastic food packaging is a dimensionally stable, hygienic, and lightweight packaging solution that has been specially developed for direct contact with food. It reliably protects products such as meat, fruit, or ready meals from moisture, dirt, oxygen, and mechanical impacts, helping to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
Functions & Properties of Thermoformed Plastic Packaging for Food
Hygienic & Food-Grade
All plastics used are suitable for food contact and comply with legal requirements for direct contact with food. They help keep food fresh for longer while preserving its natural taste.
Precise Forming & Product Protection
Thermoformed plastic packaging is precisely shaped to fit each food product. This ensures that every item is securely held in place, preventing slipping or damage during transport and handling.
Flexibility & Formability
The thermoforming process enables the production of customized plastic packaging solutions. Different shapes, sizes, and contours can be created with precision, ensuring optimal adaptation to the specific food product.
Advantages of Plastic Food Packaging
Small and Large Quantities
Flexible tool design enables the production of both small and large series. This allows food packaging to be manufactured efficiently and economically in any quantity.
Automated Production
Our packaging is designed for automated processes, featuring stacking and separation mechanisms that ensure smooth operations during production and packaging.
Visual Finishing
Colors, printing designs, or coatings can be customized. Each plastic package thus gains a brand-specific and attractive appearance, ideal for presentation at the point of sale.
Temperature Resistance
The materials used are designed for extreme temperature ranges. They remain dimensionally stable and safe, from the freezer to the microwave.
Barrier Properties
Multilayer plastic packaging reliably protects sensitive food products. Barrier films and sealing media help extend shelf life and maintain optimal freshness.
Technical and Visual Precision
Each package is individually developed with both functional and aesthetic considerations in mind. The result is stable, precisely fitting, and visually high-quality food packaging.
Areas of Use & Applications for Plastic Food Packaging
Food-Grade Thermoformed Trays and Bowls Made of Plastic
Plastic thermoformed trays and bowls are versatile, stackable packaging solutions for various foods and portion sizes. They are optionally available with multi-chamber systems for separating components such as salads, dips, or even cutlery. In addition, barrier films protect aroma, freshness, and quality during transport and storage.
Thermoformed Plastic Cups and Conatiners for Food
Thermoformed cups and containers are available in numerous variants, from plastic yogurt cups to sturdy containers for delicate foods. They are stackable and offer a wide range of decoration options through printing, embossing, or labeling. Moreover, they are hygienic, temperature-resistant, and suitable for various filling processes.
Thermoformed Inlay and Clamshell Packaging for Food
Thermoformed inlays for food products such as confectionery or snacks provide structured and secure product placement. Blister and clamshell plastic packaging offer protection, organization, and optimal product presentation without the need for additional outer packaging. They are ideal for premium chocolate boxes or transparent packaging that showcases products attractively.
