The lightweight ovenable CPET packaging has been developed under a partnership with ABP and Bemis Flexible Packaging.
Faerch Plast said that Bemis Flexible Packaging’s SkinCOOK topweb allows the food packed in skin packs to be cooked from chilled or frozen without the need to unwrap it, while retaining moisture and juices during the cooking process.
According to the company, the ovenable skin packs, when formed into a contoured top web, can accomodate larger products, such as chicken pieces and meats.
Faerch Plast UK managing director Joe Iannidinardo said: "The packs also offer enhanced consumer appeal, shelf space efficiency and maximum protection to products during transit and in store.
