Pre-Cut Roll: (with perforations at regular intervals) There is a cutter-free variant of Forvara Food Service Film. This eliminates the need for a cutter box since the film can be pulled at the perforations just like a paper kitchen towel. This saves the cost of the cutterbox. It also supports the idea of using less packaging material.
Emulation of Physical Characteristics of Conventional Foodservice Films: Forvara Foodservice films offer excellent clarity, comparable softness and optimum cling that ensures spill proof sealing around the containers made from Steel, Aluminum, Polycarbonate, Ceramic, Glass and other plastics.
Eco-Friendly: Polyethylene-based Foodservice films are recycle-ready and therefore it can be completely recyclable; as the recycling infrastructure/facilities exists. Hence, contributing to adoption of the sustainable practices across the campus.
Campus Culinary Directors: Assurance that the Academic Institution’s dining operations (that tends to be outsourced or in-house) are utilizing the safer and effective food wrapping solutions available. In the light of the fact that most of the Retail Cling/Plastic Wraps are available in Polyethylene, Forvara Foodservice Films’ Polyethylene based composition aligns Campus Culinary operations with the Retail Industry health and safety standards.
Chefs: It is been proven that the Chefs rarely recognize the difference between Forvara Foodservice films and regular PVC based Foodservice films consequently making the adoption process easier at commercial levels and further maintain the integrity of culinary creations.
