Abstract:
Lidding film, without metal foil, for lidding push-through forms of packaging, where the lidding film contains at least one polyolefin-based or polyester-based thermoplastic and the thermoplastic contains 5 to 50 wt % filler material. With the aid of a sealing layer the lidding film can, if desired, be sealed onto the bottom part of a push-through form of packaging or blister pack. The lidding film is inelastic to such a degree that the packaged contents can be pushed through the film.
A protective box for a food tray. The food tray has a base, a generally upright, contiguous wall attached to the base, and a circumferential flange attached to an upper edge of the wall. The protective box typically has three or more, generally upright walls, and a device for holding the food tray within the box so that the flange of the food tray is separated from at least two of the upright walls of the protective box.
