LANX Food Package was established at the beginning of 2010 primarily to manufacture dual ovenable containers to store foods, i.e. ready meals, suitable to use in all oven types, by employing a prime environmentally friendly material such as pure cellulose.

It has always been LANX’s strong belief to think that the use of thermo molded and eco-friendly containers bring great benefits to the food while it is being heated/cooked especially if compared to other different types of containers.

LANX’S work ethics can be summed up in three key words:

FROZEN FOOD

Our dual ovenable trays is the natural frozen food tray for all types of food ranging from meat, fish and vegetables to ready meals and desserts.    Our coated board trays resist temperatures of -40°C without cracking which often occurs with plastic.  They can be taken from the freezer and then placed directly into a traditional or microwave oven and cooked at temperature up to obtain delicious and juicy food.  Furthermore, board trays are stronger and maintain their shape better when hot, making it safer to remove from the oven.  Also, dual ovenable board trays act as natural insulators, keeping your food warmer for longer once out of the oven.
