Faerch Plast supplies packs for Pork Farms products

Pork Farms has turned to Faerch Plast to manufacturer perforated APET plastic trays for its sausage rolls and quiches

Faerch Plast designed the tray to 54mm in depth to accommodate the sausage rolls, sold in Tesco, using extra thick APET sheets to obtain the depth and adding ribs to the design to give added strength to the pack.

Pork Farms, which already uses a 12-compartment tray produced by Faerch Plast for its Christmas party range, also required a six-compartment tray for its mini quiche selection.

The black 650micron CPET trays, which can be baked in the oven or microwave, contain three mini quiche Lorraines and three cheese and onion quiches, and have just been launched into two major UK supermarket chains.

Paul Leese, chief engineer at Pork Farms’ Palethorpes factory in Market Drayton, said:  “A major consideration was the need for the new packaging to conform to our existing carrier plates.

“Faerch Plast was able to create a design that allowed two trays to fit side by side in one carrier plate.  They did this using an insert tool to one of their existing tools, which significantly reduced the cost of tooling for us.”
