① Reinforced Extended Tear-Off Tab — front tab extends beyond the container edge with embossed grip; one-hand tear is faster and more reliable than flush-mounted competitor tabs.

② Slim 45mm Profile — low-profile depth for meal-deal fridge stacking and grab-and-go cold-case efficiency.

③ Front Tamper-Evident Security Seal — validated across 14°F / -10°C to 140°F / 60°C; cannot be re-attached once torn.

④ Crystal-Clear PET Display — glass-like sidewalls show fresh-cut, salad or deli contents from every shelf angle.

⑤ rPET Ready — GRS-certified 30 / 50 / 100% recycled PET on the same mold; samples 3-7 business days.

The TS20 differentiates from our other Tamper-Evident SKUs through its reinforced tear-tab design — the front tab extends beyond the container's leading edge with an embossed grip pattern, making one-hand tear faster for both packing-line operators (during quality-audit checks) and end consumers (at meal time).

The extended tab also serves as a lift-and-carry handle during the tab-intact stage, letting rider-delivery and grab-and-go consumers handle the container without touching the food-contact surfaces.

Thermoformed in a Class 100,000 clean room on KIEFEL (Germany) and ASANO (Japan) equipment. Custom services: GRS-certified rPET (30/50/100%), adjusted carton counts.
