Colpac extends the Stagione® range even further, widening packaging usage
Building on the triumph of its award-winning Stagione® range, Colpac has added PE-coated pots and comprehensive usage for its popular PP products to contain ovenability.
The market need has allowed additional products while maintaining strong manufacturing standards and testing protocols. Colpac prioritizes quality in all its food-safe packaging and harmonies functionality with sustainability in product development. Colpac’s Stagione® range has multiple uses and is recyclable in line with UK and European procedures.
New PE-coated Stagione® products.
New Stagione® PE coated pots offer an alternative specification for customers that do not require the reheating functionality of Colpac’s PP coated Stagione®. Colpac’s considered design approach addresses the lightweight of products. Stagione® PE coated pots benefit from this, improving transport efficiency. In addition, the lighter material allows Colpac to offer these products to customers at a lower cost.
The Stagione® PE coated pots are available in 500ml, 750ml, and 1000ml, all suitable for instant serve, hot hold, chilled, and delivered food. Their PE coating provides a grease-resistant barrier to a multitude of dishes. For those requiring a higher specification barrier for oily and acidic food, Colpac’s PP-coated Stagione® pots are available.
Multiple lid options make these products extremely versatile. The paperboard PE lined lid is single-skinned, adding to the lightweight of this range. Self-venting tabs make the lid suitable for chilled, hot and delivered food. The rPET lid has an anti-mist coating for clarity in the chilled display. Both lids fit all three sizes of PE-coated Stagione®, reducing SKU counts for distributors and retailers.
Oven safe PP coated Stagione®
As food packaging functionality requirements continue to increase, the market seeks a broader range of applications. Colpac has therefore expanded the usage of its PP-coated Stagione® products.
Stagione® PP coated pots are now certified for oven reheating and suitable for microwave reheating and display in hot hold cabinets. The range has been approved for specific oven parameters, and ovenability must be tested by customers with specific food types. Colpac offers its expertise to customers to support testing their food contents.
