PACKAGING

single-serve bakery packaging,

packages along with our SIMPLY
SECURE tamper feature being
incorporated into our containers."
LINDAR has seen boosts for
single-serve packaging in the
bakery in particular, because due
to COVID-19 most retailers that
had self-serve bakery displays
have eliminated or modiﬁed
how they display product in the
display cases, Fosse pointed out.
Fosse said LINDAR has many
different single-serve packaging
options for both items in the
deli and bakery departments,
all with several features that
show off the product, protect,
maintain freshness and enhance
food safety.
The company's Single Serve
Muffin, Cupcake and Dessert
Packaging, for example, is
available in both traditional
and large sizes and is clear and
durable, providing superior
product protection and
stackability. Made from recycled
and renewable materials, the
one-piece cupcake packaging
solution is designed to be strong
- and smart, with a built-in
freshness seal, unique product
holding ﬁngers, custom labeling
and Simply Secure tamper
obvious opportunities.
Marooﬁan said PinnPACK
has several options to choose
from for single-serve packaging.
The company offers 4-inch
and 5-inch Square Containers,

Rectangular Tubs, Round Deli
Cups, Single Serve Clam Shell
Containers, Tamper Evident
Containers and Salad Bowls.
"PinnPACK Tamper Evident
containers will be released
before the end of the year," said
Marooﬁan. "Customers were
looking for a more user-friendly,
cost-effective tamper evident
package, and we wanted to
eliminate the plastic tear strip
that is found on some existing
options. The need for Tamper
Evident packaging will continue
to grow as the need for product
safety increases. Tamper Evident
packaging is a great option for
home delivery, it helps to ensure
that food being delivered stays
intact."
PinnPACK's packaging has a
lot of capabilities that beneﬁt
products made at commissaries
such as Leak Resistance, Tamper
Evidence, Film Sealable, Venting,
Anti-Fog, package strength (or
gauge), and freezer capable
without cracking, Marooﬁan
highlighted. Additionally,
Pinnpack packages are designed
to be used both at store level and
commissary/processor level.

Sustainable packaging key
Sustainable and environmentally
friendly packaging is a must
for today's consumers. In fact,
research released by Trivium
Packaging in April found
that nearly three-fourths of
consumers are willing to pay

items in the deli and bakery departments.

extra for sustainable packaging.
Of the 74% who said they
would pay more for sustainable
packaging, nearly one-fourth said
they would be willing to pay for
an increased cost of 10% or more.
Both LINDAR and PinnPACK
have plenty of packaging options
that are environmentally friendly.
Fosse said LINDAR has used
postindustrial recycled material
for years. The company uses
100% Post-Consumer Recycled
PET for its packaging, made from
recovered 100% curbside plastic.
Marooﬁan noted that PinnPACK
is set up as a sustainable
packaging company. PinnPACK's
sister company, CarbonLITE, is
the largest water bottle recycler
and producer of post-consumer
resin in the world, he said,
which allows PinnPACK to use

post-consumer recycled material
in all of its products.
"Currently, we make all of
our green and black parts with
100% post-consumer resin
(PCR) made from recycled water
bottles," he said. "Our clear parts
are generally made with up to
20% PCR, although we have
the capability to use 100%. Our
PinnPACK Green Line is made
from 100% post-consumer
recycled Green bottles such as
7Up, Sprite, Perrier."
In addition to using PostConsumer plastic, PinnPACK also
has a closed loop system, which
means the company's scrap
material can be reused back
into their system. This is called
industrially recycled material
and prevents plastic from being
wasted.

Single-serve packaging reduces product handling,
which minimizes the potential for contamination...
The trend toward pre-packaged single-serve is expected
to grow as food safety becomes more important."
