Lower cost film alternative for food packaging


Dated: 14 November 2008

Pliant Corp introduces new Revolution meat and produce wrapping films for improved yield and higher performance at lower costs.

With recent economic conditions affecting supply prices, packagers can now counter these increases and replace their current packaging with a remarkable new substitute.

The company says the thinner gauge, high performance film can lower packaging expenses, while maintaining outstanding performance characteristics for both in-store manual wrap stations and high-speed automation.
