Nicholl food packaging has launched a unique 'skinpack' foil tray, SKINfoil, which combines the convenience of an oven or grill tray with the superior extended shelf life of vacuum packaging.
The new tray can be used with Nicholl’s extensive range of smoothwall foil trays and are suitable for a wide variety of food products such as ready to cook meals, fish and seafood, game and fowl, meat and sausage products, and mini joints.
Key benefits include pack minimisation, reduced food wastage, no leaking, product protection and enhanced product presentation.
The trays offer an enhanced shelf life of up to ten days for certain products and cooking processes. Smaller pack sizes offer environmental benefits in terms of lower weight and reduced handling and transportation costs. The extended shelf life minimises product waste both instore and in the home.
The flexibility of the SKINfoil film can accommodate variable product dimensions or quantities, with the skin packaging being adjusted for different product shapes.
A top lidding film, sleeve or band can also be added to enable the trays to be stacked effectively. Both the skin and top lidding film are easily peeled in one simple action. For extra versatility, a sachet of sauce or promotional card can be inserted into the space between the skinpack and the top lid film. The sauce sachet need never come in contact with uncooked meat or food.
