The PaperSeal tray is a barrier-lined paperboard alternative to vacuum skin packaging (VSP) and is available for commercialisation across Europe.

Graphic Packaging International business development director Paul Tye said: “Our PaperSeal tray features 80%-90% less plastic than traditional trays, supporting our customers’ sustainability goals and providing consistent seal integrity to keep the product fresher for longer.

“For ease of recycling, the consumer can easily separate the liner from the tray post-use, making the tray itself 100% recyclable.”

Lidl’s Deluxe Angus Steak range is now available and will be on sale in 167 stores across Ireland.
