Pw 21471 Lif Nut Sol Eme 1

Lifesource Nutrition Solutions, Emeryville, CA, is filling a specialized food marketing niche: Home delivery of frozen, prepared foods formulated specifically for elderly people suffering from chronic diseases such as heart disease or diabetes.

These meals and soups are packaged in foamed, barrier, polypropylene trays with flexible film lidding. Paperboard wraparound sleeves carry the graphics.

Packaging is done on a contract basis at Clipper Foods (Redwood City, CA). Installed there is a Tiromat horizontal form/seal system from Convenience Food Systems (Avon, MA) that forms the trays from foamed PP rollstock called TiroPak. Also supplied by Convenience Food Systems, TiroPak is made on an in-line foam extrusion system.
