ST. LOUIS, MO – Spartech Corporation (NYSE: SEH), a leading producer of plastic sheet, compounds, and packaging products, introduces a new in-mold labeled lidding system for premium packaging. The new 1-SealTM system eliminates the need for an additional foil seal or film membrane, providing food marketers with a strong, environmentally-friendly packaging solution.
By leaving a portion of the in-mold label surface exposed inside the lid, the 1-SealTM technology allows a container to be capped and sealed without the need for an additional foil seal or membrane. This streamlines the sealing process by completely removing a step, and reduces waste due to membrane failures and membrane scrap. With the 1-SealTM solution, food and consumer packaging companies can be sure they are optimizing production efficiency and lowering costs.
“The 1-SealTM system is advantageous for multiple reasons. Not only does the lidding system provide manufacturers and packaging designers a more efficient and sustainable option, but the technology also incorporates highly decorative graphic labels using an In-mold labeling process. High-resolution graphics can be incorporated directly onto the lid for maximum consumer appeal and branding,” said Carolyn Johnson, VP Sales of Packaging Technologies.
The 1-SealTM technology is consumer friendly as well. Since the label, lid, and tray are made of the polypropylene, the container is 100% recyclable. Its user-friendly, re-sealable closure system provides a secure, airtight seal, ensuring the freshness of products both at the store and at home. Additionally, the containers are heat tolerant and microwavable.
