Our lidding films are designed for high-performance sealing onto trays and cups, creating optimal modified atmosphere and modified humidity conditions to extend shelf life of summer fruits, freshly cut fruits and vegetables, and more for on-the-go convenience. We offer several lidding film solutions including:
Our fully recyclable easy-peel MONO-PET film is just 23 micrometers thick. This lean film effectively slows respiration and aging processes while inhibiting microbial decay, preserving freshness, flavor, and nutritional value throughout the supply chain. The hermetically sealed laser-perforated format enhances food safety by minimizing risk of contamination and tampering, while cutting plastic usage by 25-30% compared to conventional clamshells. In addition, the film’s excellent anti-fog properties prevent condensation, keeping the surface clear and the produce fully visible for an appealing retail presentation.
Our innovative resealable lidding film consists of a laminated structure with two layers and a pressure-sensitive adhesive in between. A die-cut in the lower film layer creates a window that displays the produce and can be customized to desired dimensions. The film can be peeled and resealed up to 20 times, making it ideal for multiple servings and on-the-go convenience. Each time it is resealed, the modified atmosphere activity regenerates and continues to preserve quality. Designed with tamper-evident sealing to reassure consumers that the package remains unopened prior to purchase, the film is compatible with PET trays as well as some eco-sustainable materials.
Xgo™ lidding films support high-speed automated packing that dramatically increases operational efficiency compared to manual packing, while delivering shelf life extension and waste reduction. The solutions enhance both food safety and quality through hermetically sealed packaging with tamper-evidence features, improving the overall consumer experience. The resealable option provides on-the-go convenience for multiple servings. Additionally, both solutions may facilitate packing at source directly into final, branded retail packaging.
Our lidding films are designed to advance sustainability across the fresh produce supply chain. By replacing traditional clamshells, they significantly reduce plastic usage by 25-30% while maintaining excellent protection and shelf appeal. In addition, the extended shelf life they deliver often enables a shift from air freight to more carbon-efficient sea freight further reducing environmental impact.
The MONO-PET film is 100% recyclable, supporting a circular economy and a significantly smaller environmental footprint. Both film types also help minimize food waste, aligning with sustainability goals while combining convenience, quality assurance, safety, visual appeal, and ethical responsibility.
