Colpac extends Stagione® range even further, widening packaging usages

21 August 2023

Colpac, building upon the success of its acclaimed Stagione® line, is introducing a new dimension to its offerings by incorporating PE coated pots and extending the functionality of its popular PP products to include oven compatibility.

Responding to market demand, Colpac is seizing the opportunity to expand its product range while upholding stringent manufacturing standards and rigorous testing protocols. The company's unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality food-safe packaging remains at the forefront, seamlessly blending functionality with sustainability in its product innovations. Colpac's Stagione® range serves a diverse array of purposes and adheres to recyclability standards outlined by UK and European guidelines.

Fresh Additions: PE Coated Stagione® Products

Presenting a compelling alternative for customers who do not require the reheating capabilities offered by Colpac's PP coated Stagione®, the new Stagione® PE coated pots cater to this distinct specification. Colpac's meticulous design philosophy also addresses the imperative of lightweighting products. The Stagione® PE coated pots capitalize on this concept, resulting in enhanced transport efficiency. Furthermore, the utilization of lighter materials enables Colpac to provide these products to customers at a more economical price point.

Available in 500ml, 750ml, and 1000ml sizes, the Stagione® PE coated pots are versatile companions for serving, hot holding, chilling, and delivering food. Their PE coating lends a grease-resistant barrier to a diverse range of dishes. For those seeking a higher specification barrier, particularly for oily and acidic foods, the PP coated Stagione® pots from Colpac remain a viable choice.

These products boast a range of lid options, making them remarkably adaptable. The paperboard PE lined lid, characterized by its single-skinned design, contributes to the overall lightweight nature of this collection. The lid, with self-venting tabs, is suitable for use with chilled, hot, and delivered food items. Additionally, the rPET lid features an anti-mist coating for enhanced clarity in chilled displays. Both lid variations are compatible with all three sizes of PE coated Stagione®, streamlining SKU counts for distributors and retailers alike.

Oven-Ready: PP Coated Stagione® for New Applications

As the realm of food packaging continues to evolve, necessitating increasingly multifunctional solutions, Colpac is expanding the utility of its PP coated Stagione® products.

In response to heightened demands, Stagione® PP coated pots are now officially certified for oven reheating, in addition to their existing suitability for microwave reheating and display in hot hold cabinets. The range's oven compatibility has been certified for specific parameters, and testing ovenability with particular food types remains a prerogative for customers. Colpac is extending its expertise to customers, offering support for testing the compatibility of their food contents.

Colpac's dedication to innovation and meeting evolving market demands is underscored by these new introductions, setting a precedent for adaptive and sustainable food packaging solutions.
