Lidding Stock Innovation Debuts at SouthPack

Versatile lidding stock to debut at SouthPack; for a demonstration visit Mid-Atlantic Packaging Supply at booth #1819.

BALTIMORE, MD—March 3, 2005—An innovative lidding stock, ideal for microwaveables and ovenables, will be introduced at SouthPack at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, April 13-14, 2005 by Baltimore, MD-based flexible packaging converter Mid-Atlantic Packaging Supply (MAPS).

MAPS’ new lidding stock seals to all substrates popularly used for microwaveable and dual ovenable packaging applications, including APET, CPET, PVC, PE, PS, PP and more.

Until now, each packaging substrate has typically required its own special-purpose lidding stock.

The new film’s exceptional versatility means packagers of microwaveable and dual ovenable foods can streamline or eliminate their inventories of application-specific lidding stocks and rely instead on a single, all-purpose product.

Besides cutting inventory costs and complexities, food packagers will also reduce their materials costs by adopting MAPS' new lidding stock.

MAPS’ new lidding stock has been in use throughout the European markets for more than three years by major food packagers, including Northern Foods, Heinz Europe and Oscar Mayer.

"We are very excited to be debuting this innovative new product at SouthPack," says Scott Manning, executive vice president. "We are confidant that once packagers see the product for themselves it will be the talk of the show."

Full details are available from John Clark, flexible packaging technical manager, at 1-800-486-6277, ext. 115 or jclark@maps-baltimore.com.
