LINtop Star lidding films

Linpac Packaging has released three films for the protein industry.

The LINtop Star lidding films, for use in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) applications, have been designed to work with Linpac’s LINfresh EPS MAP and Rfresh/Fresh PET/PE trays, as well as all standard high-barrier EPS and rigid trays.

The films are available with either a PE or PP sealant. Their oxygen barrier properties may extend shelf life to help retailers and consumers reduce food waste and spoilage.

The LINtop Star HB range - comprising LINtop Star PE HB, PE CXI and PE CXO - has a thinner gauge and has been designed with good optics, controlled shrink and good antifog properties.

Longer reels result in 33% less machine downtime, claims Linpac. They have been designed to work with existing manual and high-speed automatic tray sealers, from small to fully equipped thermoforming lines, and will seal through contamination.
