Selig Group, a global frontrunner in container sealing and venting technology, is proudly showcasing its innovative Lift ‘n’ Peel™ Lite liner at this year’s PackExpo. This unveiling is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to expanding its range of sustainable product solutions.

Lift ‘n’ Peel™ Lite
The renowned Lift ‘n’ Peel™ liner from Selig Group has undergone a strategic redesign, resulting in a lighter, cost-effective, and more sustainable version. This cutting-edge design utilizes approximately 20% less material while maintaining its exceptional performance in security, leak prevention, and ease of opening. Lift ‘n’ Peel Lite presents an invaluable solution for food, beverage, household, personal care, and chemical brands striving to meet their sustainability and cost-reduction objectives.

US Consumers Demand Tamper-Evident and Secure Packaging
Recent research conducted by NSM Research Inc. and unveiled at PackExpo reveals that consumer expectations regarding packaging continue to evolve due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate a substantial uptick in demand for tamper-evident and secure food and drink packaging, with four times more consumers prioritizing packaging security compared to pre-pandemic trends. Furthermore, consumer feedback regarding Selig’s Lift ‘n’ Peel™ liner revealed that four out of five participants prefer products featuring Lift ‘n’ Peel™ over traditional non-tabbed seals.
David Griffin, VP of Global Sales and Marketing at Selig Group, states: “PackExpo is the perfect opportunity for us to showcase to the industry the ways we can support their business goals, and specifically their sustainability goals, with our product solutions. We are proud to introduce Lift ‘n’ Peel™ Lite along with several other new products, many of which have been designed with sustainability in mind. We are also excited to share the results of our independent consumer research study which highlights the growing expectation among consumers that their packages have an easy-to-open safety seal.”
