Insights: Ovenable packaging - Consumer tested, consumer approved.

Convenience, food safety and fresh food quality are key drivers in today’s marketplace. Successful food manufacturers are capitalizing on the critical role that packaging plays in meeting these demands. Ultimately, packaging enables new growth opportunities and category expansion.

A recent consumer study conducted by Amcor discovered that the majority of consumers in the U.S. and U.K. are willing to use plastic ovenable packaging while cooking due to its food safety preparation benefits. OvenRite® ovenable packaging meets these consumer demands and eliminates the need to handle raw meat, preventing the potential for cross contamination with other foods.

• Safe and user-friendly with easy open features
