Cardboard, Packaging material, Light, Recyclable and Economical

As with wood, our manufacturing tool for cardboard packaging is suitable for series of more than 10,000 units. We design for all the agri-food sectors, especially the cheese industry, but also for the non-food sector.

  • Our factories manufacture according to five techniques: – Crimping – Gluing – Embossing – Thermoforming – Folding-gluing.
  • Cardboard allows for a variety of creativity in terms of shapes, cutting and customisation for boxes, punnets and cases, in particular thanks to our expertise in offset printing.
  • To meet technical and conservation requirements, we use several different qualities of cardboard such as virgin or recycled fibres with or without plastic coating or with greaseproof treatment.
  • Some of our cardboard packaging is specially designed for cooking or reheating in traditional ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Discover our standard ranges, and contact our sales department for tailor-made packaging.

Technical packaging for Cookind and Reheating products

We develop for our clients’ generic and customised packaging which is aesthetic, practical and suitable in terms of cooking and reheating food. They meet your requirements in terms of preserving taste, ease of use and presentation.

Fully customisable, our wooden and cardboard packaging is produced using the most appropriate technology for your product: thermogluing, stapling or gluing for wood, thermoforming for cardboard, with the addition of parchment paper or a thin layer of PET.

Discover our range of cooking trays and contact us to find the packaging, standard or customised, that will highlight your special products perfectly: breads, buns, cooked dishes, quiches, pizzas, ….


Multi-material, technical and practical Packaging

With our expertise in the three materials wood, cardboard and plastic, we manufacture packaging combining these technologies for premium products that our clients want so as to differentiate themselves from the competition.

Combinations of these technologies and materials can provide aesthetic products while retaining mechanical and preservation advantages.

Our R&D department is at the forefront of innovation to provide specific packaging solutions. Our strength lies in producing each component of the packaging; this guarantees a single supply and perfect compatibility.


Plastic for technical and creative Packaging

We control the entire production chain of your plastic packaging from design to the realisation of moulds, printing in mould labels (IML) to the injection or thermoforming plastic containers. This guarantees our clients flexibility and leeway in terms of delivery times.
Our design offices of Plasti-Lax and North America IML Containers work with you to develop innovative packaging, tailored to your needs through thin wall injection or thermoforming.

Techniques:

  • Injection: This technique allows the production of units with complex shapes, or units that are sealable or tamper evident, optimised in terms of logistics and wall thickness. Thanks to our technical expertise, we can offer you two-colour units with distribution flaps, hinged lids or spoons or forks integrated with lids. Through the use of suitable resins, our packaging can be used to wrap various food products such as ice cream, dairy products, meat products, salads … Our packaging is resistant to freezing, deep-freezing, reheating in a microwave oven, hot-filling and sterilisation and pasteurisation.

Our containers are customisable through the use of different dyes and the addition of IML printed by us.

  • Thermoforming: Several families of plastic are used: PP, PET, PS. To optimise shelf life, our tubs can be multi-layered with the addition of an oxygen (EVOH) or light barrier. Our thermoformed packaging is customisable by adding a sticker or dry offset printing.

Thanks to decoration, we have a wide range of customisable generic packaging. We already regularly work on tailor-made packaging for our clients.


Wood for packaging that differentiates and enhances your products

A material used historically by the company, wood allows quality packaging for your products to be made. It comes from our poplar plantations located in France, and it is also processed – peeled, veneered – internally.

  • We control four manufacturing techniques for your packaging: – Stapling – Gluing – Thermoforming – Thermogluing
  • Each technique is adapted to your products. Packaging – boxes, punnets, trays – can be laminated with parchment paper or plastic to meet technical or aesthetic requirements.
  • Our wooden packaging can be decorated with printed letterpress or woodburning in order to personalise your products.
  • Our manufacturing tools are suitable for industrial series from 10000 units and are fully customisable in terms of shape, size, and decoration.
  • Some of our wooden packaging is specially designed for cooking or reheating in traditional ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Benefit from the know-how of our R&D department for customised packaging, and discover here our standard ranges.
