PaperSeal Shape: A Revolutionary Solution in Fiber-Based Packaging
Graphic Packaging International, a leading manufacturer of fiber-based packaging solutions, has recently launched PaperSeal Shape, a new addition to its award-winning PaperSeal™ range. The latest innovation is a patented paperboard food tray designed for round, deep, and multi-compartment applications. With PaperSeal Shape, Graphic Packaging takes another step towards providing high-quality, eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic packaging.
The Need for Sustainable Packaging Solutions
As the world becomes increasingly aware of the harmful effects of plastic waste on the environment, consumers and companies are seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic packaging. According to a recent report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, plastic production is expected to double over the next 20 years. By 2050, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by weight.
In this context, PaperSeal Shape offers an innovative solution that can help reduce plastic waste by up to 90 percent. The liner of the tray can be easily removed by consumers post-use, and the paperboard portion of the tray can be recycled in standard paper recycling streams. Additionally, depending on the application and barrier requirements, PaperSeal Shape can be supplied without a liner, reducing plastic waste.
The Benefits of PaperSeal Shape
The launch of PaperSeal Shape means that Graphic Packaging can now offer a tray solution that meets a broader range of customer needs. The new tray is suitable for complex shapes, such as bowls and multi-compartment designs, and offers excellent rigidity and seal integrity to protect the product and preserve its shelf-life.
Moreover, like other trays in the PaperSeal range, PaperSeal Shape can be supplied flat or fully formed. Graphic Packaging has a network of facilities and lining partners worldwide, enabling them to provide the tray globally. This ensures customers can benefit from the company’s eco-friendly solution, regardless of location.
