Mayr-Melnhof upgrades GreenPeel fibre tray for fresh protein packaging
Mayr-Melnhof's MM Packaging Deeside has upgraded its GreenPeel fibre-based food tray with a continuous double-rim structure to improve seal integrity for skin-sealed fresh protein products such as meat, fish and chilled meals. The first application, a 20mm tray, was developed with a major French poultry producer and required changes to machinery and tooling; wider adoption across the GreenPeel range is planned.
Why this mattersReinforced fibre-tray designs that match plastic-tray seal performance widen the addressable protein-packaging market for cartonboard converters at plastics' expense.
- MM Packaging Deeside has added a double-rim structure to its GreenPeel cartonboard food tray, replacing the prior single-rim design.
- GreenPeel uses up to 90% less plastic than conventional plastic trays.
- The first application is a new 20mm tray for fresh protein, developed with a major poultry producer in France.
- MM Packaging modified its machinery and tooling to produce the new format.
- Wider rollout of the double-rim design across the GreenPeel range is planned.
