One single patented paper-based food container for all in-store and industrial flow packaging processes like cling-filming, flow-packing and shrink-wrapping. Designed for fresh meals and food preparation to be sold in self-service, chilled or heated counters. The specific mechanical features improve hygiene and food presentation and help in extending shelf life and reduce food waste with MAP shrink-wrapping packaging.
BIOPAP® HERCULES guarantees very high torsional rigidity and compressive strength even in humid and hot environments and for long periods. Its special structure allows a material saving of 70% compared to traditional containers of similar rigidity. It is the ideal solution for packaging in shrink-wrapped BDF® systems for Modified Atmosphere, automatic or manual film wrapping and for horizontal flow wrapping and vacuum packing.
Deli food preparations, ready-made meals, rotisserie products, fish, meat, vegetables and fruit, all foods that can be packaged directly in-store at the point of sale in BIOPAP® HERCULES increasing the perceived quality of the products, their integrity and preservation and reducing waste. BIOPAP® HERCULES then becomes practical also at home for refrigerating, freezing, reheating and cooking food in all types of ovens, both microwave and traditional, up to 175°C.
BIOPAP® HERCULES enhances the product it contains and conveys the brand with its outer side being printable. It guarantees the quality of preparations right up to the consumer’s table.
Rigid, robust, practical, safe, naturally pleasant to the touch, it is CIC Compostable and OK Compost Home certified. In fact, it can simply be disposed of in the organic waste to become valuable compost that gets back to agriculture, naturally fertilizing fields and replacing synthetic fertilizers. A virtuous, practical and useful biological circularity.
BIOPAP® HERCULES, like our entire range of BIOPAP® food trays and packaging solutions is biodegradable, compostable and recyclable. Developed and produced from raw materials that come from Northern Europe Forests, among the most pristine environments on the planet. They are renewable, non-agricultural and non-intensive resources that do not use pesticides, fertilizers or forced irrigation. We only use pulp from certified well-managed forests. A natural, abundant, local, and ever-growing resource. BIOPAP® is PEFC and FSC certified and 100% of our production is PEFC certified.
