D&L Packaging

ShrinkCovers are the heat resistant alternative for PanCovers, ideal to transport food from one place to another. Lids will fall off, cling film is not strong enough, but ShrinkCovers are strong and will protect your food against spillage. They are also strong enough to stack. ShrinkCovers can be applied before cooking as they are heat resistant up to 203°C so you can keep cooking with them. Another method is shrinking the covers over the pans after cooking. ShrinkCovers are clear with 100% food visibility and you can write directly on them. The tight seal retains food moisture.

Diverse and delectable layers provide a unique, unforgettable outcome. Adaptability is a key Salsaucinade strength. Use as a condiment, stir into sauces or introduce it as an intrinsic part of the taste range at the start of a dish, in tortillas, burritos, stirred into dips, slathered on kebabs or spiced up in soup. This is the triple-strength serving you need.
