Ideal for multiple applications from premium ready meals to gourmet products, including joints of meat such as whole chickens – notoriously challenging to display in a clear, attractive package – the KDome brings significant improvements to up-market packaging. Previously, dome lids were clipped onto the tray, leading to leakage and, as a result, poor shelf life and spoilage.

In addition to the bespoke seal, customers can also specify a gas flush when using the KDome. Created from coated APET, the lid is easily detached from the tray, providing the convenience of a ready-to-cook product in an ovenable tray. KM Packaging can supply customers directly or work with thermoforming specialists to provide a combined solution.

KM Commercial Director, Graham Holding, explained: “Our new KDome is the latest tool that manufacturers can use to display high quality food products in a very upmarket way – but with none of the previous disadvantages of this type of lid. We’re very proud that it showcases not only our acknowledged expertise in flexible packaging, but also our often-understated skills in sealant technology.

“KDome’s flexibility enables manufacturers to maximise the ways in which products can be merchandised in-store, bringing real added value to premium packaging. In addition, we anticipate that the KDome will be of particular interest to thermoformers who are interested in working with KM to develop a bespoke lidding solution for their own, tailor-made base trays.”
