SHARPAK has unveiled a new premium-look hybrid pack for sushi, which it says is designed with ‘multiple’ benefits.
The new Luxifood pack comprises an rPET lid and new ‘novel’ cartonboard base, which the firm said ensures all moisture is retained and doesn’t leak or seep from the pack in store or transit.
It also utilises a lightweight and fully recyclable bio-polymer liner that is food contact approved and can be recycled without removing the liner post-use. Additionally, the board is FSC-certified.
The firm added that the clear rPET lid is also created using fully traceable Prevented Ocean Plastic and incorporates a minimum 30% post-consumer recyclate – meaning it meets the recycled content threshold of the upcoming UK Plastic Packaging Tax.
Chris Ford, sales director at Sharpak, said, “With the Luxifood hybrid range, we have created a pack that helps our customers tap into multiple consumer trends all at the same time. Demand for healthy snacks, unusual flavours, premiumisation and sustainability are all high on the consumer agenda and it’s critical that they are able to deliver on all fronts.
“Luxifood makes it possible! The pack, both lid and tray, meet the OPRL guidelines for recyclability to support consumers’ at-home recycling efforts and the black tray ensures sushi is presented at its best, with a premium appearance that until now has only been achievable using plastic.”
