Let off steam!

 
Convenience A generation of foil that makes convenience products even easier to handle at home It has to be quick, convenient and as time-saving as possible. Ease of handling when preparing meals in the microwave is becoming increasingly important for consumers. The Italian market leader Di Mauro, a contractual partner of the German company Nabenhauer Verpackungen, has developed a microwaveable composite film that can be inserted directly from the refrigerator into standard microwaves. A standard tubular bag film for common tubular bag machines is used and the tubular bag is provided with a predetermined breaking point during production. This predetermined breaking point opens during the cooking process when the internal pressure of the steam rises sharply in order to release pressure in a controlled manner. It is no longer necessary for the consumer to tear the pack or pierce it, as is the case with other packs of this type. This also prevents uncontrolled steam release due to overheating of the contents.
The completely new type of microwaveable film packaging makes use of thermal expansion between the composite layers. This deserves to be called "convenience". (sf)
