Accuware™ Lightweight Hinged Containers
Engineered to achieve the most accurate form, fit and function, Clear Lam introduces new Accuware™ Lightweight Hinged Containers for the bakery and confectionary markets. This next generation of smooth wall containers provides enhanced food protection and better product visibility. The product design also maximizes cube and improves shelf utilization to lessen environmental impact.
Forming Films From Renewable Raw Materials
Clear Lam offers a wide array of plant-based materials for form-fill-seal applications, multilayer forming and lidding films. These include breathable and high-barrier materials that replace traditional petroleum-based materials and lessen environmental impact. They offer the necessary barrier properties to keep perishable foods fresh and they machine like
traditional plastics. Clear Lam’s renewable packaging materials are plant-based bioplastics made from Ingeo™ PLA (polyactic acid) along with ingredients that enhance performance.
Peel And ReSeal Lidding Film
New Peel and ReSeal technology developed by Clear Lam features a reclosable tray and lid system for added convenience and lightweighting. The easy-to-use Peel and ReSeal Lidding Film eliminates the need for rigid lids and shrink bands making the package much simpler to assemble.
