Ahead of the Fachpack 2024, film manufacturer Südpack unveiled its latest innovation: PET floatable lidding films. Used on mono-APET trays, the low-density, sealable top webs can be separated during recycling from the APET bottom webs, producing cleanly recycled materials for infeed into the differ-ent material flows. This offers a sustainable market alternative for safe packaging of sliced meat, ham and cheese in peelable, thermoformed and MAP packagings. The PET floatable lidding films provide equal performance and processing reliability to conventional lidding films. The product family includes a peelable version as well as a top web featuring Multipeel for excellent opening and reclosing. Consumers appreciate the extra convenience of secure closing and perfect protection for a longer shelf life of the packaged food. Multipeel® PET floatable helps cut the carbon footprint of products in two ways: recyclable packaging and longer food freshness. Peel PET floatable is a premium product in terms of packaging safety and per-formance. The extra-thin lidding film (45 µm) securely seals against PET trays, even when contaminated with fats. It peels easily off the tray and does not tear or roll up. The high oxygen barrier also ensures optimal product protection. Good antifog properties keep the lidding film clear. This ensures an attractive presentation at the POS because consumers consider it a hallmark of quality of both product and packaging. Another advantage is that Peel PET floatable does not require expensive ad-justments to production machines. The high-performance films can be optimal-ly processed just like conventional lidding films on thermoforming packaging machines and tray sealers. Excellent sealing properties and a large processing window guarantee high versatility as well as maximum packaging and process reliability.
