Primoreels sealable lids for dairy packaging

The Primoreels alternative lidding system has been brought to Australia by Select Equip Reels.

Primoreels’ lids on reels system is designed to provide lower costs by up to 30% of the basic commodity price by using thinner lids with a faster and easier printing/cutting process.

It does not require expensive extra snap-on cover lids, due to the good puncture resistance provided from Primoreels PET lids.

The system can reduced labour requirements as it is quick to use as less refilling is required. There are up to 40,000 sealable lids on a reel — enough for several hours of production, without labour for refilling the filling machine.

The system uses 50% less storage space than conventional lids as it operates with metallised PET foil as thin as 23 or 36 microns.

Traditional die-cut lids can be prone to puncture, whereas Primoreels lids are claimed to have a three times better puncture resistance than aluminium die-cut lids in comparable thickness and with up to 40,000 lids on a reel.

Suitable for yoghurt, ice cream, desserts, feta and other UF white cheese, processed cream cheese, butter, salad spreads, dips and sauces, peanut butter, fruit salads, water and fruit juice, instant noodles, soups and snacks, the lidding system is easy to install, has good printing and sealing properties and is designed to have a lower risk of cross-contamination.
