OVENABLE PACKAGING FOR FROZEN SEAFOOD
The Oven Ease ovenable family of Sealed Air’s Cryovac food packaging products is designed for high-quality seafood items that can cook from raw in the oven inside the same material in which it was packaged. Cryovac Oven Ease ensures the product is freezer-ready and accommodates cook-from-raw or reheat applications. After cooking, Cryovac Oven Ease is said to offer impressive holding time, keeping items hot in the package long after being removed from the oven. The material runs on most traditional thermoform rollstock equipment, allowing seafood processors the opportunity to enter the ovenable category without incurring the expense of new equipment.

TWO-LID PACKAGING
Clear Lam Packaging introduced a two-lid system for PrimaPak technology. This new rollstock for snap-apart multipack products delivers closure systems that are intuitive and easy to open and close for multi-serve occasions. The new styles include: Peel and ReSeal—which opens easily and reseals itself to the package with a light touch for select fresh cut produce, dried fruits, nuts and other food products with little to no particulates—and Formed Semi-Rigid Snap Lid—which creates a hinged lid that snaps down tight when resealed. Applications include fresh cut produce, salad toppings, powders and spices.
