Packaging products manufacturer Novolex has introduced Power Prep bags and rolls, a new packaging solution designed for grab-and-go hot sandwiches and other premium takeaway options.  

Manufactured by Novolex brand Bagcraft, the Power Prep range uses oil-and-grease-resistant paper that is per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-free. 

The Power Prep packaging material is laminated to a liner with a honeycomb structure, creating an insulated layer that maintains the temperature and flavour of the food.  

This feature is complemented by an anti-curling lamination, which allows for flat sheeting, streamlining the preparation process for foodservice operators. 

The packaging also allows custom printing options, enabling brands to showcase their identity and promotional content effectively.  

The multilayered design of the bags and rolls ensures that foods remain at peak flavour from the time they are wrapped and frozen to when they are reheated and served. 

Aimed at convenience stores, supermarkets, and foodservice providers, Power Prep bags and rolls are a response to the increasing demand for high-quality prepared food options.  

These products join the Power Prep wraps, introduced earlier in 2023, expanding Bagcraft's portfolio of packaging solutions for the grab-and-go market. 

Novolex will exhibit the complete Power Prep line, including wraps, bags, and rolls, at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show in Las Vegas. 

Novolex sales senior vice-president Rick Brown said: "With an insulated, four-layer structure, Power Prep ensures ready-to-eat food stays as flavourful as the moment it was made — assuring fresh taste and top quality with every bite.  

"Power Prep redefines the grab-and-go experience, offering a truly innovative approach to making, freezing, distributing, selling and savouring sandwiches and other fare." 

In September 2024, Novolex announced the acquisition of US-headquartered manufacturer American Twisting’s assets.
