Klöckner Pentaplast launches its largest and most rigid food-to-go packaging

Developed in response to customer demand for packaging that suits hearty, generous portions is the kp Infinity HP3 Hotpac from Klöckner Pentaplast.

Described as the the largest and most rigid addition to its Hotpacs range, the box measures 241mm (l) x 154mm (w) x 70mm (d), a perfect size for loaded fish and chips, burgers and chips, jacket potatoes, and popular Asian noodle-based dishes which require a bigger, more robust pack.

Like all kp Infinity Hotpacs packaging, the HP3 is manufactured from Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), a recyclable material not subject to the UK’s ban on EPS/XPS single-use foodservice packaging. Its monopolymer construction means it is recyclable in existing PP waste streams, and every pack carries prominent, embossed ‘Recycle Me’ messaging to guide consumers at point of disposal. 

In terms of performance, its creators say the HP3 keeps food more than 10°C hotter than alternative packaging solutions, while its exterior stays cool and comfortable to handle. In addition, it is naturally waterproof and resistant to hot oils, acids and alkalis; critical properties for the loaded and often sauce-based dishes the HP3 is designed to carry. It is also microwaveable, giving consumers the added convenience of reheating at home.

Available through kp’s network of distributors and wholesalers, the HP3 is manufactured in the UK, supporting operators seeking locally made, reliable packaging solutions.
