North East UK thermoforming specialist iPac Packaging Innovations has successfully redesigned the new and improved iZorb packaging range, which eliminates the need for absorbent pads in food trays as frequently seen in conventional packaging.
Working closely with the food industry, the specialist team at iPac is celebrating the relaunch of one of its most innovative products to date as it continues to expand its sustainable product range.
Available in various S-range and D-range footprints, the packaging design features cavities that lock in liquid, negating the need for the traditional absorbent pad, reducing weight, minimising cost, and crucially eliminating non-recyclable pads from mainstream usage. This new iZorb range provides 25+% improvement in liquid retention, making it the best on the market, according to iPac.
Jonny Catto, managing director at iPac, said as packaging specialist the business is committed to manufacturing quality products led by design innovation.
“iZorb is one of iPac’s latest initiatives designed to improve recyclability as we continue to focus on sustainable solutions, cost reduction and reducing society’s impact on the environment,” he notes.
Catto continues: “As a high-volume packaging manufacturer, sustainability has to be at the forefront of our product offering. We supply 100% recyclable rPET and polypropylene pots, tubs, and trays which themselves are made using recycled content of up to 100%. We also invest heavily in both product and materials R&D to ensure that we are at the cutting edge of sustainable packaging development”.
