Appel Feinkost GmbH & Co. KG, of Cuxhaven, Germany, produces the Appel Gourmet Seafood line in six non-refrigerated salad and snack varieties. In July 2011, the company began marketing this new line of products in PermaSafe® retortable tubs supplied by the plastics division of the Weidenhammer Packaging Group (www.weidenhammer.de). The 200-g packages also incorporate embossed in-mold labeling (IML), an easy-open, peel-off membrane seal, and an injection-molded, recloseable, IML lid.


Impermeable to oxygen and water vapor, these heat-tolerant barrier containers are designed for steam or hot water sterilization and pasteurization applications traditionally associated with metal- and glass-packed shelf-stable foods. They are made from 100% plastic. Specific plastic material structure was not disclosed, but the trays are said to incorporate polypropylene. Sidewall thickness is 0.7 mm, empty container weight is 15 g, and container depth is 26 mm. Seal membrane structure is a lamination of PET film/aluminum foil/PP film.
