Integral sealant layers to enable heat seal lidding to preformed and thermoformed trays
Performance sealing solutions for in-line thermo-lamination to thermoplastic sheet materials for preformed and thermoforming applications. Using specialist multi-layer co-extrusion technology, Coveris’ thermal laminating films are formulated to produce a strong bond in contact layer to the sheet and various seal options in the upper seal layer. Suitable for all PET, PVC, and polystyrene (PS) base webs and trays for direct food contact.
Combined with an extensive range of seal characteristics, our thermal barrier and non-barrier lidding films provide an integral, protective function with excellent clarity and gloss properties for improved visibility and quality perception.
