Nicholl Food Packaging range of aluminium trays and tray lidding films

Nicholl Food Packaging has appointed DFC Packaging as the Australia and New Zealand distributor for its range of smoothwall aluminium trays, wrinkle wall trays and tray lidding films.

Smoothwall aluminium tray use has been a growth market in the UK and Europe, with many manufacturers and supermarkets preferring packaging that can be used in the microwave as well as in a conventional oven over plastic products that cannot tolerate higher conventional oven temperatures.

Nicholl also offers a range of coated smoothwall trays that are suitable for products such as lasagne and high-pH sauces that would ordinarily eat through a standard aluminium tray. Smoothwall trays offer a long shelf life due to metal being a high oxygen barrier material.

Along with the Nicholl tray range, DFC also offers a range of lidding films suitable for both coated and uncoated smoothwall aluminium trays and a range of films suitable for various plastic trays such as PET, PP, PS and PVC. The PET film is peelable and antifog, and can be used in a microwave or conventional oven.
