Frequently asked questions
Does kp® ReClose work when there is sealing contamination and how does it affect the number of times it can be reclosed?
kp® ReClose ensures a strong hermetic seal and reclosability up to 20 times, even when there is sealing contamination created by packing greasy foods such as cheese, bacon or cooked ham. However, where there is a high degree of sealing contamination, the number of times it can be reclosed will be lower.
What applications can kp® ReClose be used for?
It’s ideal for packing foods such as diced bacon, sliced cheese, sliced processed meat (e.g. chorizo, cooked ham, prosciutto, salami, sausages) and snacks (e.g. nuts, dried fruits).
What thicknesses are available for kp® ReClose?
It is available between 250 and 1000 microns.
Is kp® ReClose recyclable?
kp® ReClose and other multilayer PET rigid films such as PET/PE and PET/PE/EVOH/PE rigid films that are manufactured through thermal lamination, cannot currently be recycled in standard PET mechanical recycling facilities. They do not have the means to separate the PE and PE/EVOH/PE liners from the PET. The presence of PE and EVOH contaminates the PET recycling stream so these rigid multilayer films are not recyclable.
Can kp FlexiLid® EH 373 be printed with a custom design?
Yes, it’s easy to print for brand excellence and appeal and eliminates the need for additional labels.
Does kp FlexiLid® EH 373 contain any PCR content?
No, it does not.
Is kp FlexiLid® EH 373 a multilayer PET top lidding film?
Yes, kp FlexiLid® EH 373 is a lock seal BoPET/PE/EVOH/PE top lidding film.
In what thicknesses is kp FlexiLid® EH 373 available?
kp FlexiLid® EH 373 is only available in 73 microns, which is the perfect balance between function and carbon footprint.
Does kp’s peel and reseal packaging solution have anti-fog properties?
Yes, as our top lidding film kp FlexiLid® EH 373 has been specifically designed to reduce haze and condensation inside the pack, ensuring optimum presentation and food preservation.
Does kp’s peel and reseal packaging offer a high barrier to gases?
Our peel and reseal packaging solution can be tailored to offer either a medium or a high barrier to gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen.
How does this complete packaging solution compare in terms of price with a peel and reseal packaging solution made from a combination of lock seal PET rigid films and reclosable PE top lidding films?
kp’s peel and reseal packaging solution costs up to 7% less than a peel and reseal packaging made from a combination of lock seal PET rigid films and reclosable PE top lidding films.
