Novolex offers TamperFlag containers made with recycled content

Novolex, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, has introduced clear plastic thermoformed containers available with 25 percent and 50 percent postconsumer resin (PCR) content that feature a tamper-evident “flag” that pops up and stays raised once opened.

 TamperFlag rigid containers, made by Novolex brand Waddington North America (WNA) alert consumers that the container has been unsealed.

“Our new TamperFlag containers deliver a fresh solution to safeguarding food and reassuring consumers about the security of a product,” says Sachin Shah, senior vice president and general manager of Waddington North America. “This is yet another groundbreaking innovation that truly makes a difference for our customers—something we strive for every day at Novolex.”

The TamperFlag is activated automatically in a single step when the hinge container lid is closed, creating an efficient packing process. When opened, the TamperFlag pops up and is visible to consumers, ensuring they can see if the container has been opened or tampered with, the company says.

Offered in sizes from 8 to 32 ounces, the new containers are suitable for wet and dry grab-and-go snacks. In addition to featuring the new tamper-evident flag, the containers eliminate tear strips (which create plastic waste) and the need for shrink bands, provide a smooth surface area for customer labels, can be stacked and offer a leak-resistant design that helps keep food fresh.
