The national restaurant association show NRA Show 2022 will be help in Chicago at McCormick Place from 21-24 May 2022.
The food and catering industries have had an incredibly challenging time for the last few years with many parts of the industry simply coming to a complete halt. But now the industry is back on track and this will be one the first major international show since 2020 and a great opportunity for the industry to showcase its’ best and greatest products.
Plastic food packaging companies have been especially in focus in recent months due to the huge pressure on the industry to improve its work in the areas of sustainability and biodegradable products to protect the environment in general and especially to tackle the difficult issue of marine plastic waste.
The national restaurant association exhibition NRA show 2022 will be an opportunity for many companies to find new packaging solutions that help them to meet the pressing regulatory demands that have already been imposed on the industry as well as safeguarding brand reputations by getting ahead of the curve in moving towards more sustainable packaging solutions.
We offer both single piece and two part tamper evident packaging solutions.
Two-part packages are available in different colours, which enables distinctive packaging that attracts customers to your product.
Our tamper evident food packaging is made from RPET as part of our inline production recycling system. The designs reduce raw material use and waste, so they are highly cost-effective.
We offer standard sizes ranging from individual portions to party-packs. Ergonomic design with minimal ribbing makes our packages easy to handle, strong and stable for stacking. No additional sleeving or wrapping is required.

Not only is our range of Ultra Clear PP lighter, stronger, as clear as PET, and fully recyclable, by including Cycle+ additives it becomes completely biodegradable in the natural environment. Cycle+ is the future of biodegradable plastic packaging technology.
Unlike previous attempts to manufacture biodegradable plastic packaging, which are often not genuinely biodegradable and also suffer from quality and performance problems, Cycle+ does not affect the performance of food packaging manufactured using this revolutionary additive, and it demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of sustainable manufacturing.
Cycle+ plastics break down naturally in the environment into harmless wax after a pre-programmed time has passed, but retain full strength and utility until this happens. Cycle+ uses Biotransformation™ technology to achieve this without requiring specialist processing or treatments. Supply chain and manufacturing processes are unaffected by adopting Cycle+ technology.
Ultra Clear Cycle+ also meets or exceeds global quality standards for food contact packaging as well as standards for biodegradation, including toxicity testing to ensure that it breaks down harmlessly in the natural environment.

Tamper evident packaging is packaging that incorporates a device that will allow consumers to see if a package has been previously opened or tampered with.
