When dealing with food, high hygiene levels are the most important factor. It is important that the materials used in food packaging can protect the contents against bacteria. Studies have shown that High Impact Polystyrene (HIPs) is safer and more hygienic than other packaging materials.
HIPs is the best choice for packaging applications where the contents are fragile, such as cookie or bakery trays. Because it is such a strong and rigid material, HIPs will keep the contents protected from damage. It is also ideal for protecting short shelf-life products, due to its moisture barrier properties. The high quality of HIPs brings many benefits for packaging a wide variety of foods.
HIPs is widely used in the food packaging industry. It is cost effective to produce and can be recycled. While being strong, it is also very lightweight which makes it easier and reduces costs for transportation. It also provides good insulation and retains heat better than other packaging material options.
HIPs is also a very versatile material, making it ideal for packing products in a wide range of sectors. It can be printed on, coloured, and painted to suit our clients’ needs. It is safer than other types of materials, such as cardboard and glass. It can withstand humidity and will not easily break, making it safer to transport, store and use.
