Amcor SelfVent packs can be placed directly into the microwave without the need for piercing or tearing of the packs. The system has been developed to save time for the consumer - cutting cooking time by around 70% compared to the conventional hob cooking method - and with the added environmental benefit of
saving energy.

The 35 micron recyclable OPP film has a special disruptor system applied in register to the pack at the same time as printing which controls the venting of the pack when the pressure builds up during cooking. Amcor Flexibles Neocel in Portugal applied this system whilst gravure printing the design. The Amcor SelfVent packaging has been designed to give all the potato products optimised shelf life using Amcor P-Plus MAP technology – this further enhances the high quality of the product.
