Packaging that makes inflight catering even better Bordanil Inflight HT®
Weight reduction is critical for catering on board aeroplanes. Environmentally-friendly meal packaging is also in line with the pursuit of sustainability and minimal environmental impact. From a sustainability point of view, lightweight disposable packaging performs better than reusable packaging. Bordex Packaging has developed a Laminated Polyester Film (Bordanil Inflight HT®) with custom printing, which, when combined with CPET ovenable trays, satisfies all requirements and more.

Self-ventilating
Our Bordanil Inflight HT® film was developed as the optimal seal for lightweight ovenable trays, which make inflight catering easier and safer. The film is self-ventilating. As the trays are heated in the oven, the steam is able to escape easily through the film. The degree of ventilation can be precisely adjusted by the meal manufacturer during the sealing process.

Easy to open
After heating, the film is easy to remove. The speed of that process reduces the processing time and allows all meals in a batch to be served as quickly as possible, without loss of quality. It is advisable to thaw the meals before use in order to get the most out of the film’s self-ventilating capability and ease of removal.

Appealing brand-communication vehicle
Not only is Bordanil Inflight HT® film safe and easy to use, it also provides added value as a brand-communication vehicle. The film can be printed in full colour to further enhance the presentation of the meals on board.

Food safe
Bordanil Inflight HT® film can be used at temperatures ranging from -18 °C to 175 °C. Printed or unprinted, the film meets the strictest EU food-safety standards. The film has all the usual certification.

Storage
Bordanil Inflight HT® film retains its optimal condition during storage for no less than one year. Optimum storage conditions are: away from direct sunlight at temperatures ranging from
0 °C – 40 °C with a humidity of 40 – 70%.

Unique EcoFit® injection moulding technology
Bordex Packaging developed EcoFit® as the answer to the growing demand for thinner, more sustainable packaging. EcoFit® is an exclusive and unique technology that combines the cost-effective and sustainable product properties of thermoforming with the advantages of conventional injection moulding technology.

Important advantages
Flow Moulding, the unique technology developed and patented by Bordex, has a number of significant advantages over traditional injection moulding technology. The resulting product weighs 30% less than traditional injection moulded packaging, yet remains optimally sturdy and dimensionally stable, and extremely evenly partitioned. In-mould labelling with up to six colours provides appealing brand-communication options that convey the right image. The EcoFit® process also has no limitations regarding the model or use of colour in the base material.

More efficient technology
The extremely versatile EcoFit® technology is based on an injection moulding technique where the moulds are ‘apart’ and are opened and closed simultaneously with the injection, creating counter pressure. This reduces the required injection pressure, resulting in considerable savings in energy and material use. Less material for efficient flow means a considerable weight reduction in comparison to the traditional methods. The final product also cools faster, achieving a 20-50% reduction in cycle time, depending on the application. The EcoFit® technology can use lighter machines than traditional injection moulding, resulting in a lower depreciation. In short, its efficiency leads to lots of savings in many areas!

Dutch flexibility
EcoFit® is a technology developed exclusively by Bordex Packaging in the Netherlands. The basic moulds are produced in the Netherlands and can be converted for many products, using various mould sections for variable heights.

Practice-proven
The added value that EcoFit® provides is already proving itself daily. The first series have been successfully introduced: the tried and tested 187 series and the versatile M series of meal trays. The technology is not only intended for series production, it also provides interesting capabilities for mid-sized custom projects.
