PaperSeal Slice™ Tray for Sliced Meats and Cheeses

PaperSeal Slice™ Tray

The PaperSeal™ Slice tray offers a sustainable alternative to traditional thermoformed trays for sliced meats and cheeses, delivering a plastic reduction of up to 75 percent, depending on application.

The pack offers great differentiation on the retail shelf thanks to the ability to print high-quality offset graphics on the inside and outside of the tray.

The use of lighter-weight paperboard and innovative structural design delivers reduced pack weight and material use. Material use is further minimized as an additional label is not required because the information can be printed on the pack.

Developed in partnership with G. Mondini, a world leader in tray sealing technology, PaperSeal trays offer a recyclable and sustainable alternative to plastic trays.

PaperSeal Slice Benefits

Sustainability

The PaperSeal Slice tray delivers a plastic reduction of 75% compared to a traditional thermoformed tray¹
The liner can be easily separated from the paperboard tray after use, enabling easy recycling of the tray²
The use of lighter-weight paperboard can assist with the achievement of packaging goals
The paperboard is produced from renewable plant-based fiber sourced from sustainably managed forests
Trays can be supplied formed or flat, the latter resulting in lower transport emissions compared to formed plastic trays as more trays can be delivered per shipment

The hermetically sealed tray provides a shelf-life equivalent to traditional plastic trays
High-quality offset graphics on both the inside and outside of the tray deliver on-shelf differentiation, offering real benefits over plastic trays

Operational Efficiency

Constructed from a single piece of paperboard, the tray requires no folding or gluing and does not require an additional label
The range of liners and paperboards offers the perfect solution for sliced meats and cheeses
Trays can be supplied flat, resulting in lower transport and storage costs compared to pre-made trays

Brand and Marketing

High-quality offset graphics on both the inside and outside of the tray deliver on-shelf differentiation, offering significant branding benefits over plastic trays

1 Plastic reduction figures are for the tray and exclude the lidding film, which is expected to be similar to film used for current trays. Each PaperSeal tray is specified on a case-by-case basis to minimize plastic content, at levels even below 10% where possible.

2 In some countries (depending on the percentage of plastic), the lined tray is accepted for recycling without the liner having been removed.
