New LumiLid Product Range from Toray Plastics (America), Inc.

North Kingstown, RI- Toray Plastics (America) Inc. announces the introduction of its new LumiLidTM heat-seal lidding product line. LumiLid provides a strong but peelable seal with superior adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. Ideal for cap lining as well as for dairy, refrigerated/frozen entree, pharmaceutical, dry and wet snack, desert/fruit cup and industrial-sized applications, LumiLid is now available throughout North America, Europe and South America. “Now more than ever, consumers demand high-quality seals to ensure product freshness and security,” explained Mike Fatica, Technical Manager at Toray Plastics (America) Inc. “A crisp, strong hermetic seal tells the consumer that their product is fresh and has not been tampered with, thereby enhancing consumer confidence and product appeal.”

LumiLid offers several key advantages to packagers and converters. LumiLid provides superior adhesion for consistent, high-quality lidding. Even typically hard-to-seal applications like uneven tray tops and containers with pleated corners are easily sealed thanks to LumiLid’s technologically advanced, thick composition. LumiLid is specially designed to provide flexible seal strength depending on the needs of each particular application. Brand owners also benefit from several key LumiLid characteristics. LumiLid provides excellent adhesion without the use of a solvent coating process. Solvent-free lidding is not only more environmentally friendly, it also protects brand appeal by ensuring that delicate flavors will not be altered by residual solvent. LumiLid offers exceptional clarity and optical performance, which further enhances brand appeal. “LumiLid provides a natural showcase for a wide variety of different products,” concluded Fatica. “Thanks to its superior solvent-free adhesion and excellent optical performance, LumiLid simultaneously protects product integrity and enhances brand appeal.”
