How are SOLUT! thermoformed corrugated paper trays different from other pressed paperboard trays?
While working for a sister company, many of the current associates of SOLUT! invented and developed the thermoformed corrugated disposable paper trays. This was in response to the industry complaint that standard thermoformed or pressed paperboard trays were too weak for large format applications for commercial bakeware. Now, we have a solution that out performs weaker paperboard trays, regardless if requirements include a larger family-size food service packaging, baking or frozen food packaging. No other company in the world has the expertise of SOLUT! in this area.
Standard thermoformed or pressed paperboard trays are made from a single layer of paper with a high temperature coating applied to one side. SOLUT!thermoformed corrugated trays are made from three layers of paper. The strength of these trays is further enhanced with the addition of paper “waves” placed between the top and bottom layers of paper resulting in a much thicker material. This fluted construction makes the structure similar to an “I” beam known for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio and is used where high strength and light weight are required, for example, in bridges and skyscrapers.
Using a proprietary process, SOLUT! produces an incredibly strong, rigid, three-layer paper material that is formed into large, three-dimensional shapes ideal for many applications like commercial baking pans, disposable party trays, and disposable food trays. Our thermoformed corrugated paper trays are affordably priced and provide tremendously more strength and rigidity. This makes it possible to produce SOLUT! paper trays in much larger sizes than could be possible than with the heaviest weights of single layer, pressed paperboard trays-all at an affordable cost.
An added advantage is that SOLUT! thermoformed corrugated paper trays provide insulative benefits to your food products keeping warm food warmer and cool food cooler. Due to the “air gap” provided by the fluted middle layer, our trays keep foods hot yet remain cool to the touch.
SOLUT! proudly provides affordable, functional, sustainable food packaging in much larger sizes than are possible with single layer, pressed paperboard.
