Coveris has developed its innovative HEAT range of packaging for hot food on-the-move. With dual ovenable and hot-hold functionality, the HEAT range eliminates the need for direct food contact and enables instore touch-free cooking for added safety and protection. The range continues to expand to cater for a broader range of applications and further enhance its environmental performance. The HEAT range is designed for heat-instore applications such as pastries, wraps, toasties, and pastas.
Providing an alternative to plastic packaging, the FSC sustainably sourced and recyclable HEAT range is made using printable dual-ovenable cartonboard and hybrid cartonboard and film formats. Designed to withstand cooking temperatures up to 220°C and hot holding up to 90°C, the use of cartonboard delivers heat retention and product protection benefits. With the functionality to operate as a carrier through packing, distribution, cooking and serving, HEAT provides the opportunity to reduce the number of packaging components used pre and post-cooking. Further reducing the need for additional product labelling or packaging, the ability to print the HEAT range in up to six colours also improves brand positioning and visual impact instore. Improving the range’s environmental performance, an innovative new greaseproof patch can be incorporated in to HEAT packaging formats.
Another addition to the HEAT range is a window patched box, offering increased product visibility and quality assurance. Suitable for products such as pasta, design features include hand closure tabs or heat seal functionality to ensure food is secure and protected, while delivering excellent shelf presence.
