“Ofen-Fleischkäs’ – ready for baking@home” from Constantia Flexibles is an aluminum foil container system, manufactured and developed for Ofen-Fleischkäs’ meat loaf products from Rehm. 

The tray and lid are made entirely from aluminum foil. They were specially designed for this pre-cooked meat product in order to enable easy and practical preparation directly in the packaging. The standard tray has a dual function. On the one hand, it protects the product during storage; on the other, it is suitable for cooking the product in the oven. This solution also impressed the jury of the Alufoil Trophy and was accordingly awarded an EAFA trophy. Jury chairman Louis Lindenberg, Director Global Packaging Sustainability at Unilever, explained: “This packaging offers the consumer a host of advantages. It is easy to transport, store and prepare. It is hygienic and our tests have shown that it is also easy to remove after cooking. 

The packaging consists mainly of aluminum foil, which offers a high degree of barrier protection, a long shelf life and good thermal conductivity and therefore enables a freshly cooked product.” 

Richard Berres, Regional Sales Manager at Constantia Aloform, said about the award: “Winning an EAFA trophy in the category of User-friendliness with Ofen-Fleischkäs’ - ready for baking@home confirms that aluminum foil containers are an excellent solution for modern, functional and practical packaging. The consumer gets a fresh and tasty meat product that is very easy and quick to prepare.” As the aluminum foil tray with lid offers all-round protection and is easy to use, the other packing element - the cardboard sleeve - can be used entirely for the branding and marketing as well as for cooking instructions for the consumer.
