WHY LIDDING FILMS ARE A NEW NORM IN FOOD PACKAGING?

Lidding films were first used to package medical equipment so that packages were easy to open in emergency situations and operating rooms. Since new materials and combinations of polymers have been created to meet the stressful requirements for food packaging, the popularity of plastic food packaging lidding films in the food processing industry has grown.

Food packaging suppliers and food processing manufacturers have focused their attention on the development of a food package that:

1) First and foremost, is consumer-friendly – creates an ease of use without compromising other properties of the package and impacting food quality. Key factors for consumers are little to no spilling, leakage or tearing, can be chilled, frozen or microwaved and recycled.

2) Balances superior tamper evidence with ease of use - has a heavy-duty seal to the food packaging lidding film for food trays or bowls while providing the superior tamper evidence required by the food packaging industry and food consumers.

3) Cuts costs by reducing the materials and labor. Instead of buying the label stock, printing labels, sealing the product, and then applying the label, food manufacturers can accomplish the same in one simple step by using Preferred Packaging’s printed films and an in-line printer.
