PROVIDENCE – Toray Plastics (America) Inc. has developed a new easy-to-peel film called LumiLid XL7W, the company said last week.
The white PET lidding film was developed for use with refrigerated and frozen dairy foods that are packaged in polypropylene containers, such as cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, butter, ricotta cheese, refrigerated processed cheeses and cheese spreads and ice cream.
XL7W is also suited for non-dairy spreads, such as margarine and others that are plant-based, as well as non-dairy frozen foods and desserts, such as those made with soy, almond and coconut milks, the manufacturer said.
The XL7W seal is strong enough to protect product freshness, while providing a quick and clean peel to reduce shredding.
“The market demand for PP containers, and compatible lidding film is growing,” Milan Moscaritolo, senior director of sales and marketing, Toray Plastics (America), said in a press release. “LumiLid offers the perfect solution in many areas: functionality, production efficiencies, waste reduction, seal performance during distribution and consumer satisfaction.”
Toray Plastics (America) Inc. makes polyester, polypropylene, bio-based and metallized films for flexible and rigid packaging, lidding, graphic, industrial, optical and electronic applications.
