The vented lids, made with crystal-clear polypropylene (PP) with Clear Guard anti-fog technology, have a new deeper-dome variant in addition to the existing single and three-compartment.
The 8.5in² black PP bases, available in single and three-compartment designs, fit all the three lids with secure, leak-resistant closures that claim to preserve food presentation and avoid messy spills.
These packages are capable of withstanding temperatures up to 230°F in warming units, under heat lamps, or in the microwave. The company also claims there is no need to re-plate chilled, prepared foods, when reheated in the microwave.
The containers, designed to maximise performance and minimise packaging cost, are made with a natural mineral additive, reducing the use of petroleum based resin by 40%.
