13.12.2023

Mono APET-based concepts are the preferred solution for packaging cold cuts. With their high rigidity and excellent transparency, they are convincing in terms of packaging efficiency and product presentation. product presentation. PET also has the ideal properties to play a key role for flexible packaging in the circular economy in the future.

The sealing layer makes the difference

The main challenge is to develop sealing media that do not impair recycling processes. We have now achieved this with the buoyant Mono APET Float-Film Peel (density < 1 g/cm³). *Certified by the independent cyclos HTP institute, this packaging concept offers a sealing medium that is compatible with recycling. It therefore fulfils ‘best case design’ criteria in LEH-Styleguide requirements.
