Selig Group will begin production of its highly successful Uni-Gard™ range of one-piece, induction seals in Europe as of March 2022. The introduction of Uni-Gard production to the EU enables low lead times and enhanced customer service in the region for this popular product range.
Selig’s Uni-Gard™ range is ideal for food producers looking to seal plastic PP and PP-EVOH jars with hot fill contents or for use in retort filling processes. This one-piece, multi-layer, liner delivers excellent barrier properties and has been designed for high temperature applications. It also provides producers with a range of production benefits ranging from higher operating speeds and the flexibility to run wider operating parameters, to greater packaging confidence. Available in both peelable and welded versions, Uni-Gard can also be enhanced with custom prints, offering further product differentiation and added value to packaging.
Darren Dodd, Marketing and Service Director at Selig Group, comments: “Previously only produced in the USA, the introduction of Uni-Gard production to Europe will reduce lead times and improve our capacity to serve existing and new customers looking for hot fill sealing solutions. The Uni-Gard brand has, over the years, built a reputation for reliability and quality and now European food producers can make the most of these benefits more easily.”
