TekniPlex Consumer Products Showcases TekniTray Protein Tray Innovations and Egg Carton Solutions at IPPE 2026

TekniPlex Consumer Products, a leader in advanced materials science for food packaging, will showcase its latest protein tray and egg carton innovations at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2026, held January 27–29 in Atlanta at Booth B36029. The company highlights the new TekniTray™ portfolio unifying its protein tray technologies, spanning polystyrene to high-barrier and sustainable options for meat, poultry, and fresh proteins. These trays ensure product protection, extended shelf life, and operational efficiency tailored to specific needs.

The TekniTray™ lineup includes TekniTray™ Air, a high-performance PS tray in over 50 sizes and 8 colors; TekniTray™ LightAir for lightweight retail use; TekniTray™ CircularAir, a recyclable low-density PP tray; TekniTray™ Forta, rigid PET trays with shatter resistance; TekniTray™ Protek for MAP applications; and TekniTray™ Ready for heat-resistant ready-meals. Upcoming TekniTray™ BioAir offers compostable biobased materials.

Eldon Schaffer, CEO of TekniPlex Consumer Products, stated: “Our TekniTray™ reflects TekniPlex's commitment to applying materials science to solve real-world challenges in protein packaging. By offering a broad range of tray materials and performance options, TekniPlex helps customers find what fits their needs best while protecting their products, optimizing operations, and supporting their sustainability goals.”​

Alongside protein innovations, TekniPlex features fiber-based egg cartons like Fiber ProPlus™ and Fiber ProPlus™ HD, using dried-in-mold technology for humidity resistance, egg protection, and equipment compatibility. The company’s new 200,000-square-foot molded fiber plant in Van Wert, Ohio—its eighth facility—is fully operational, boosting capacity. Upcoming Q2 2026 PET bi-fold egg cartons from post-consumer recycled PET are 15% lighter than tri-folds, reducing material use.​

Recent strategic acquisitions expand TekniPlex’s sustainable solutions for protein and egg markets, prioritizing safety and satisfaction.
