Our new Crave range offers fantastic performance while adhering to strict sustainability objectives. The range features six containers, manufactured from layers of lightweight papers for excellent rigidity. The range has also been developed to withstand a range of temperates and to provide an excellent level of moisture and grease resistance. The range has a vast range of environmentally-friendly benefits including being fully recyclable, industrially compostable and manufactured from lightweight fibres from FSC-certified, European paper mills. The inner coating replaces traditional PET linings with an innovative emulsion-based coating and all ‘window’ options are made from NatureFlex™, a home-compostable cellulose film.
The emulsion-based inner coating has been carefully developed to ensure an excellent level of resistance to penetrating moisture and oils common in a range of takeaway foods.
Each item is suitable for use in hot display cabinets. Windowless options are also suitable for oven use (to 220°C for 30 mins). Window options also benefit from added ventilation holes.
Boxes are available in three convenient sizes, with and without windows. Each product has a double tab lid closure and window boxes have ventilation to avoid condensation.
Each box is recyclable, industrially compostable & made from lightweight fibres from FSC-certified mills. The inner coating is a plastic alternative and windows are made from NatureFlex™.
The range is ideal for hot & cold foods, for takeaway and delivery services. This versatility means it is perfect for the most popular hot foods including burgers, street food and various cold items.
