Even a careless observer of the contemporary packaging industry, he will find that tuna food tends to use seals to seal fresh-keeping packaging.
However, Saupiquet, a canned fish food trader from Nantes, France, recently produced a new tuna product. The whole product was contained in a single canned iron can. The canned Peel Seam® cover was made by Crown Food Europe ( Crown Food Europe, a subsidiary of Crown Holdings, Inc., marks the resurgence of canned tuna.
Saupiquet’s spokesperson said: “Our consumers are eager to have high-quality fish and easy-to-open packaging. Crown Food's packaging technology provides consumers with this convenience while maintaining the freshness, softness, and flavor of tuna. â€
This canned tuna contains 160 grams of fish flesh, and the lid of the can consists of two parts: a steel ring with a diameter of 83 mm and an aluminum foil with a thickness of about 70 μm. The steel ring is fixed to the filled can, followed by a conventional sealing process. The consumer simply opens the pull tab on the lid to open the can.
Both the can body and the pull cover use gravure printing technology, which has attracted customers' attention to the shelves and made it easier for them to recognize the canned brand at once.
Saupiquet admits that this package has a higher cost than traditional seal packaging, but they hope its value-added convenience will open up more markets and allow them to recover the higher cost of this part of the package.
