In line with the company's \u201eNo Waste\u201c sustainability strategy, the recyclable MonoFlex thermoforming solutions Made from polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)<\/strong> and are completely free of nylon (PA). MonoFlex Thermoform is manufactured at Coveris' plants in Germany and the UK and can be customised depending on the product application and printing requirements. made from a single co-extruded or laminated substrate film<\/strong> become.<\/p>

MonoFlex Thermoform offers advanced EVOH barrier properties for product protection and durability, which is also supported by its strong puncture resistance. Coveris' expertise in the Film Science Lab and the testing capabilities of the Pack Innovation Centre were critical to the innovation process - from developing the composition of the films to validating their performance, including barrier properties.<\/p>

MonoFlex Thermoform was developed with a wide operating window and retains the packaging speeds previously achieved<\/strong> and enables a seamless changeover from alternative substrates. Suitable products for MonoFlex Thermoform include a range of Baked goods and other applications in the areas of meat, fish, poultry and dairy products<\/strong>.<\/p>

The packaging is Available completely unprinted or with printed top film<\/strong>. The top web is available with conventional and HD flexo or rotogravure printing including matt, gloss and tactile varnish finishing options to make products more appealing to consumers, an attractive on-shelf presentation and the communication of product information. Product communication can also be achieved on unprinted films in the secondary process with Coveris' leading labelling solutions.<\/p>

\u201eThe development of MonoFlex Thermoform is a significant development for the Coveris Group. Our recyclable MonoFlex Thermoform films, which are manufactured at multiple sites and support our no-waste vision, are a direct replacement for non-recyclable alternatives currently in use. The introduction of this product enables a significant amount of plastic packaging to be reused through recycling processes, realising environmental benefits including the reduction of CO2<\/sub>-footprint and diverting materials away from landfill.\u201c<\/p>
