Resealable lids at Packaging Innovations

Visitors to stand R34 at the Packaging Innovations show at the NEC, Birmingham, on 12-13 February, will see a range of lidding solutions from Chadwicks in the UK, a company specialising in heat-seal pre-cut lids. Among the featured products is rPET pre-cut lidding film, which contains up to 50% post-consumer resin (PCR). Fully approved for food contact, rPET pre-cut lids are useful for food applications such as butter, dips, spreads, and yogurts, as well as beverages and convenience foods, and offer the same characteristics as standard PET pre-cut lidding.

“We are committed to reducing our reliance on virgin plastics and embedding more responsible practices across our business,” says Paul Whelan, chief technical officer at Chadwicks. “rPET lidding with 50% PCR offers the same technical properties as virgin plastic, but with a reduced carbon impact and substantial use of recycled material in the supply chain, which we see as the right thing to do.”

At the Packaging Innovations event, Chadwicks will also unveil a resealable pre-cut lid. This new product eliminates the need for plastic over-caps, extending product freshness while reducing overall plastic use.

The cimpany will also showcase its aluminium pre-cut lidding, known for sealing across various container types, including PP, PET, Paper PE and glass. Aluminium lids offer excellent barrier properties, protecting against light, moisture, and oxygen, which helps extend shelf life and maintain product quality. They are fully recyclable, supporting sustainability goals while also being compatible with high-speed production lines and various heat-sealing processes.

Aluminium lidding can also be used for hot fill applications and products requiring additional processes such as pasteurisation or sterilisation, making it a reliable choice for various applications.
