The sustainable food delivery revolution
ECLIPSE, FOR GOURMETS. In addition to the premium range of extra-rigid containers and aluminium plates, the company has launched another line of trays, perfect for the main trend of the moment: luxury food delivery. To meet this new need, Contital offers Eclipse: a unique range of smoothwall containers in black and gold aluminium, designed for the ready meals sector. The new line of premium trays has a very strong aesthetic impact and further enhances the dishes it contains. Eclipse containers can be sealed with film or using a fully recyclable preformed plastic lid.
For over 25 years Contital, a leading company in the production and trade of aluminium trays and rolls, has been analysing the market in order to offer its customers in the food industry and traditional wholesale different types of innovative and quality packaging. The constant investments in services, the continuous optimization of the processes of the entire supply chain and the growing attention to the environment, have allowed Contital - and still allow it - to continuously develop new packaging lines and solutions. Thanks to this expertise, Contital felt that the time had come to launch a product capable of satisfying the growing need for specific packaging for the food delivery sector. The company has thus created a new range of extra-rigid lacquered aluminium containers, designed with smoothwall technology. Complete with water-saving lids, the line is 100% recyclable and can be used in both traditional and microwave ovens. In addition, Contital has patented the range of disposable plates in recycled aluminium, available in various types (multi-purpose, super-bottom, top and dessert) and shapes (square, round and others under construction).The plates have rigid walls and a smooth edge that can be sealed with water-saving films - traditional and organic - to guarantee safety and hygiene to both consumers and restaurateurs. Thanks to the coating they are suitable for all types of food and can be used in traditional and microwave ovens, for freezing and deep-freezing. A true market innovation, it has already won three international awards in the first months of 2020.
A monodose that surprises Signed Valmatic, it is a small stand up container, squeezable, transparent, colorful, eye-catching and customizable... a small vial that looks like glass, but glass it is not. It’s the new thermoformed single-serving unit designed by Valmatic (San Prospero, MO), unique of its kind and made on the company’s Form-Fill-Seal lines. Produced in B-PET coming for over 80% from the recycling of mineral water bottles recovered on the European market, these monodoses have undoubtedly advantages compared to glass, of which they reproduce the transparency:

once opened without any risk thanks to the single-handed pre-cutting, they can be easily squeezed, enabling the calibrated release of even dense products such as serums, gels or creams. Transportable in a beauty case without danger of altering the contents, and packable in cardboard or precious cases, the vial can be customized from a graphic point of view on the front and back, with full-flat colors from the Pantone range. Always looking for new and attractive shapes, Valmatic proposes this solution in particu-
lar to the cosmetic sector (a well-known Italian brand has already adopted it for a product launch scheduled for December, E.N.), without however excluding the possibility of its adoption in the food, chemical and veterinary fields.
