Molded Pulp Trays for Oven Cooking
Barrier trays made of high-quality wood pulp with various heat-sealable layers
The requirements of the food industry are varied and are constantly moving towards ecological, environmentally friendly solutions, therefore it is the packaging industry that must constantly respond to the needs of this market. Food processing is primarily about hygiene, therefore the cleanliness of the material is of fundamental importance. Made of 100% virgin fiber, the pulp is free from chemicals such as paraffin and other synthetic chemicals that pollute the environment, creating the perfect base for eco-friendly barrier trays for food packaging – it is a material made entirely of raw Swedish wood, which is recyclable, renewable and biodegradable.
Apart from the environmental benefits, the potential of this type of trays lies in its design and packaging functionality, which is much greater than when using plastic or cardboard.
For protection and a longer shelf life, the trays are laminated with standard or biodegradable barrier films.
Wood pulp barrier packaging trays are heat-resistant, which makes them the perfect solution for ready meals – both hot and cold.
