Trays & bowls
Coated paper trays that replace plastic MAP trays — on the same line
Rigid paperboard trays and bowls with a functional barrier coating: leak-controlled for meat and produce, compatible with MAP and VSP processes, and printable on every surface.
Why paperboard
Less plastic in the tray, less carbon in the chain
