Why choose solid board packaging for ready meals?
High quality printability
- Our ready meals packagings are beautiful the way they are, but we also offer the highest quality offset printing. We can print with your unique colour code, and we will advise you on the optimal production, lamination and finishing possibilities for your requirements.
Heat-resistant
- Our solid board MAP trays are heat-resistant, maintaining their strength, shape, and freshness even under challenging conditions. This makes them ideal for both hot meals and dishes that can be prepared with hot liquids, ensuring safe handling, convenient preparation, and consistent quality for every serving.
Moisture-resistant
- Our solid board packaging is moisture-resistant, maintaining its strength, shape, and freshness even under challenging conditions. Designed for chilled and frozen meals, it keeps products safe and fresh.
- The minimal board thickness allows faster freezing and more efficient energy use, supporting sustainable and practical packaging solutions even in humid or misty refrigerated environments.
Fully recyclable
- Today, solid board packaging is produced almost entirely from recovered paper, collected from commerce, industry, administration, and households as part of the standard recycling process. Fibre-based packaging material can be recycled at least 25 times without losing its mechanical or structural integrity.
