Havi has supplied restaurant chain Itsu with its HAVI SIX500 range of packaging for the rollout of a new hot food range of gyoza dumplings.

The packaging and supply chain management firm said the SIX500 is the first performance packaging created for use in accelerated cooking environments, and is designed to give foodservice brands the ability to create expanded menus with short cooking times, while still maintaining food quality, texture and aesthetics.

The combined packaging solution of a SIX500 tray, which enables rapid cooking at temperatures as high as 273°C for up to 6 mins, and clear perforated film, which allows steam to enter during cooking, keeps the dumplings hot and moist, while still letting customers see the dumplings clearly while on display.

Bespoke labelling, provides itsu with the opportunity to market their brand and for customers to easily identify and choose their preferred variety of gyoza. Unlike any other packaging, the SIX500 ensures consumer and equipment safety, optimal moisture/heat resistance, product release performance and premium food quality.

Gregor Milne, senior manager packaging at Havi, said: “Itsu’s new hot food range requires an efficient and effective cooking method for its preparation, and the SIX500 consistently provides that. It’s a product that has been meticulously developed to be safe for both the operator and the customer, and it means itsu can quickly provide its customers with hot food which maintains the strong visuals that the brand is well known for.”
