Two Market Leaders Join Forces for Tesco Reseal Packs

Added together they form a recloseable, tamper-evident heat seal lidding that simplifies and reduces packaging while being easy to use and attractive.

Sep 28 2011 --- FFP Packaging Solutions have decades of lidding film experience, and the multi-award winning Esterpeel brand is both well proven and trusted throughout the convenience food industry. Reseal-it is the proven tamper-evident, recloseable label system produced by MacFarlane Labels. Added together they form a recloseable, tamper-evident heat seal lidding that simplifies and reduces packaging while being easy to use and attractive.

There are a number of important advantages of using the Esterpeel Reseal-it system. Esterpeel Reseal-it is a "solution on the reel" which means that the packer can apply the film and seal the packs on a standard packing line, running at their normal speed; there is no need for any further packaging beyond the lidding film, so packaging is reduced in weight and simplified; Reseal-it is unique amongst label reseal systems in having a credible and effective tamper-evident function, and perhaps best of all, the pack is interesting, eye-catching and adds value to the products.

FFP worked closely with a number of producers to make sure that the new packaging could run easily on their production lines, leading up to the successful mid-September launch of the new Tesco range. Commenting on the development, Gary Tee of FFP stated: "Resealable lidding film has a huge potential to add value and reduce packaging. Now, with Esterpeel Reseal-it, we know that we have a fantastic new packaging option for a huge variety of products."
