In the course of increasing demands for product safety and long shelf life there has recently been a strong tendency to package foods in packaging with a membrane seal.
This example is just to get the picture:

The convenience of these products are rather low and especially the membrane foil can be a very annoying experience:
- The membrane can be very hard to get a grip on, especially with reduced finger strength
- it may be sealed so hard that it is impossible to remove without tools
- and finally, if made of aluminium, it easily detorts

I my company we have been working quite some time on a solution which will get around these issues and. The aim was to offer all the convenience of an injection moulded packaging with snap-on lid combined with the safety of a sealed packaging. And now it is finally there to use. 
The patented method of sealing the lid directly to the pot reduces the need for an extra sealing foil and hence reduces complexity for both the user and the filler.
Inside the lid has a snap function which will give the user a clear feedback once the packaging is reclosed. Hope you  like it!
