PaperSeal™ Skin Tray

The PaperSeal™ Skin tray is a paperboard alternative to traditional plastic vacuum skin packaging (VSP) trays for fresh and processed protein applications. 

It delivers a reduction in plastic of 80 – 90 percent compared to traditional trays while offering equivalent performance in terms of shelf life.  

The packs offer differentiation on the retail shelf thanks to the high-quality offset graphics which can be printed on both the internal and external surface.

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.
