Producing Quality Microwaveable Press Formed Paperboard Trays, 1990 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
With a continuing world-wide growth in families using microwave ovens for food preparation the microveable packaging industry should prosper in the nineties. There are a number of packaging choices, among them "Press Formed Paperboard Trays."
Commercial production of paperboard trays began in the late seventies. Refinements in materials, coatings, conversion hardware, and manufacturing process controls having dramatically improved tray quality.
To further press formed tray development future presses will be capable of better controlling production variables of scoring, dwell, and forming pressure.
