Packaging that does more than seal<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n

Perfotop topseal film is a thin, transparent film, which can also be perforated, used to seal plastic or board trays. During the heat-sealing process, the film is securely sealed to the rim of the tray, creating a reliable seal that protects the product against external influences such as moisture, dirt and bacteria. This helps to extend product shelf life.
What sets printed Perfotop topseal film apart from other packaging solutions is its combination of functionality and presentation. The film protects the product, while the printed surface provides an effective means of communication. Branding, product information, preparation instructions, shelf-life information, certification marks and promotional messages can all be printed directly onto the film. This allows the tray to remain largely transparent, giving consumers a clear view of the product inside.
This is particularly valuable in the fresh produce sector. After all, freshness is judged not only by the use-by or best-before date, but also by appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Consumers buy with their eyes<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n

Various consumer studies show that packaging appearance plays an important role in purchasing decisions. With fresh products such as strawberries, blueberries, grapes, tomatoes, prepared vegetables and meal salads, consumers want to be able to assess the quality of the product for themselves.

The high clarity of printed Perfotop topseal film makes this possible. Only the required information is printed, leaving a large part of the product clearly visible. Its natural colour, freshness and quality therefore remain easy to see.

For growers, producers and packers, this means packaging that not only protects the product but also helps enhance its appeal at the point of sale.<\/p>\n\n

Optimum protection during transport and storage<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n

Alongside presentation, protection is equally important. Fresh fruit and vegetables are delicate products that can be exposed to temperature fluctuations, moisture and physical stress during transport and storage.

A securely sealed Perfotop topseal pack helps maintain product quality for longer. The sealed pack reduces the risk of contamination and damage and, depending on the film specification, can be used in combination with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). By controlling the atmosphere inside the pack, the shelf life of many fresh produce products can be significantly extended.

For packers, this can mean less product waste, a longer shelf life and a more reliable supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n

Print as a powerful communication tool<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n

While labels are often limited in size and visual impact, printed Perfotop topseal film offers significantly more space to communicate information. The film becomes an integral part of the product’s branding and presentation.
