Paper*: This thermal lamination liner for cardboard trays is applied without adhesives, reducing plastic usage by up to 80%. It simplifies recycling while maintaining sealing and barrier properties. It is ideal for meat, fish, cheese, ready meals, and vegetables.
FreezyPeel: This peelable film for frozen foods is expertly engineered for low-temperature resistance, easy opening, and optimal preservation, making it a practical choice for both retail and home use.
