Selig Group, a global expert in container sealing and venting technology, is highlighting its Lift 'n' Peel™ Lite liner in Booth N-5881 at PACK EXPO International 2024 this year as part of the company’s expanding range of sustainable product solutions. New U.S. consumer research is also being released at the show, demonstrating a rise in demand among consumers for secure, tamper-evident, and easy-to-open packaging.
Lift ‘n’ Peel™ Lite
Selig Group’s iconic Lift 'n' Peel™ liner has been redesigned in a lighter-weight, lower-cost, more sustainable version. The innovative design uses approximately 20% less material, without sacrificing any of the performance benefits with regards to security, leak prevention and ease of opening. Lift ‘n’ Peel Lite offers food, beverage, household, personal care, and chemical brands yet another solution to achieve sustainability and cost reduction goals.

- CORELEN™, TRESYLENE™ - These fully recyclable PE or PP foam-based lining materials come in a range of densities and thicknesses for applications ranging from cosmetics to food and beverage. TRESYLENE™ foam liners are also available with recycled content and carry an International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC).
- PCR and compostable foam - Selig is making advancements in post-consumer resin (PCR) and compostable foam qualifications on select product lines with plans to launch production offerings in 2025.
U.S. Consumers want tamper-evident and secure packaging
New Selig Group research, released at PACK EXPO and conducted by NSM Research Inc. through U.S. focus groups, reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape consumer packaging expectations. The results show that there has been a significant rise in demand for tamper-evident and secure packaging, with four times more consumers now prioritizing packaging security compared to pre-pandemic trends. The research also looked at consumers’ opinions of Selig’s Lift 'n' Peel™ liner, which showed that four out of five participants would choose products with Lift 'n' Peel™ over traditional non-tabbed seals.
David Griffin, VP of Global Sales and Marketing at Selig Group comments: “PACK EXPO is the perfect opportunity for us to showcase to the industry the ways we can support their business goals, and specifically their sustainability goals, with our product solutions. We are proud to introduce Lift 'n' Peel™ Lite along with several other new products, many of which have been designed with sustainability in mind. We are also excited to share the results of our independent consumer research study which highlights the growing expectation among consumers that their packages have an easy-to-open safety seal.”
