FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Placon’s new anti-fog lid technology enhances clear food packaging’s visibility in the deli aisle

MADISON, WI (February 1, 2013) – Continuing to expand and enhance its food packaging lines, Placon, a top US thermoformer of custom and stock food containers, retail and medical device packaging as well as recycled PET materials, announced that it is currently rolling out its new anti-fog lid technology on its entire line of PET cold deli food packaging products.

Placon’s new anti-fog technology helps minimize lid condensation formation, providing excellent product visibility in cold food merchandising displays. Typically, fogging in food packaging applications occurs when products such as salsas, salads and other high moisture content foods are merchandised or stored in a cooler environment such as a cold display case. Placon’s crystal-clear, anti-fog lids are specifically engineered to bead moisture build-up, allowing consumers to easily view the container’s contents.

States Jeff Lucash, Director – Stock Products, “Having the deli market’s most reliable, clear lines of thermoformed food containers has always been one of our top priorities, as has our focus and commitment to the sustainability and recyclability of our packaging.”

Produced with Ecostar® RPET-F FDA approved for direct food contact extruded sheet from curbside collected post-consumer bottles and thermoforms, Placon’s PET deli food containers are made with 100% recycled materials that are 100% recyclable. For packaging samples or for more information, please contact Placon at 1.800.541.1635 or via email at info@placon.com.
