Some 20% lighter than a standard plastic tray/film and card sleeve, RAP’s MA Tray is produced from sustainable forests and will result in a “significant reduction” in the consumption of metals and plastics in the food packaging chain.    The MA tray also abolishes the need for printed sleeves and additional labelling.  RAP’s MA Trays are capable of being microwaved and will withstand temperatures up to 180c in a conventional oven.  The MA Trays are also suitable for ambient, chilled and frozen applications.  Food manufacturers will be able to adopt the MA Trays with the use of existing MAP machines.
