Packaging manufacturer Coveris is launching its modified atmosphere RecyclaPEel MAP sandwich skillet at FachPack.
Coveris said that the product targets the European food-on-the-move sector and is an evolution of Coveris` peelable and separable RecyclaPEel sandwich skillet made from cartonboard and PE liner components.
According to Coveris, the design of RecyclaPEel MAP enables the lined corners to form a tight gas seal. When packed using a gas-flush process, the tight seal retains control of pack atmosphere over the lifecycle of the product, extending shelf life [significantly beyond the four days achieved with Coveris` lined board skillets typically used in the UK market".
Will Mercer, Coveris` graphics, label and board R&D director, said: [FachPack is the perfect opportunity to launch our new RecyclaPEel MAP sandwich skillet. Targeting the European food-on-the-move market, RecyclaPEel MAP is Coveris` extended life sandwich skillet meeting longer shelf life demands in the European food-on-the-move market. Aligned with Coveris` vision for No Waste, including products and packaging, our innovative RecyclaPEel MAP is a fully recyclable, forward thinking pack for the future of food-on-the-move in Europe."
