RAP launches new carton food tray at Pro2Pac
Packaging manufacturer RAP has launched a new carton food tray product at Pro2Pac.
The firm said that its modified atmosphere carton food tray (‘MA Tray’) marks a “step change” in product development. The tray is being billed as the “world’s first” hermetically sealed carton food tray, which is capable of replacing existing plastic and metal food trays in the food on-the-move and ready meal market.
RAP said that the MA Tray offers a product life of three days without modification of the atmosphere within the pack.
Some 20% lighter than a standard plastic tray/film and card sleeve, RAP’s MA Tray is produced from sustainable forests and will result in a “significant reduction” in the consumption of metals and plastics in the food packaging chain. The MA tray also abolishes the need for printed sleeves and additional labelling. RAP’s MA Trays are capable of being microwaved and will withstand temperatures up to 180c in a conventional oven. The MA Trays are also suitable for ambient, chilled and frozen applications. Food manufacturers will be able to adopt the MA Trays with the use of existing MAP machines.
