Thermoformed Packaging


Thermoformed Packaging: Environmentally Friendly

NatureWorks polymer is a viable alternative to conventional resins for many extruded and thermoformed applications, such as dairy packaging, food-service ware, fresh food containers and cold-drink cups. Other application opportunities include confectionery, biscuit, salad and pastry packaging. All driven by the superior cost stability and polymer performance. NatureWorks polymer can be readily extruded and thermoformed into containers that provide the following attributes:

  • Stiffness
  • Transparency
  • Flavor and odor barrier
  • Anti-fogging characteristics
  • Grease and oil resistance

NatureWorks polymer’s versatility in the extrusion and thermoforming processes yields many benefits. Uniform wall thickness distribution can be achieved even on deep drawn parts. The inherent stiffness of NatureWorks polymer also allows containers to be downguaged compared to polystyrene containers.
